~*~2014 NBA OffSeason Thread - Free Agency Starts - 7/1 12am ~*~

It just makes no sense to me. You a 2 time champion. Bosh legacy is already cemented......UNLESS he can get from up under Lebron and go win a title.

And money is money. This is bizarre. I can't even believe its even a option. Stay with a aging team that has no salary cap space and make less money or go to a contender...in a TOUGHER conference but you make more money and go to a better team. Just makes no sense to me. But once again this is Chris Bosh and i'm not going to try and figure out his line of thinking. He's going to be a forgotten star of this era of basketball.

Maybe Bosh is being spiteful because he know they want Melo on the team.
 
So it was u that was the capologist in the meeting :lol:

:lol::lol:..YEP...:lol::lol:

Have no problem with the big 2.5 staying in Miami.
But Melo needs to stay in NY.
For balance purposes.
The East is already shit.
I know Heat fans would love it, but TRUE basketball fans wanna see good games.
The East only plays the stacked West so many times.
You talking about hundreds upon hundreds of weak ass East vs East games.

I wonder how Melo feels tho.
This was supposed to be his attention whoring year.
LBJ taking all his shine

I AGREE THAT IT PROBABLY BE UNFAIR IN THE EAST, BUT U CANT TELL ME THAT MELO, BOSH, LBJ, WADE ON THE SAME TEAM WOULDNT BE ENTERTAINING; MAN THE RATINGS WOULD BE THRU THE ROOF EVERY TIME THE HEAT PLAYED...

email that to Riley and Arison asap before that muthafucka has a heart attack.
also alert every Fire Dept in Cleveland to be on standby to stop the city from burning to the fucking ground
after his decision is made.

:lol::lol: AT CLEVELAND FANS:lol::lol:..BUT MIAMI IS ALMOST OBLIGATED TO PAY THE 81MILL THIS YEAR SO WHY NOT GO FOR THE GUSTO:lol::lol: BUT I DONT THINK MELO WOULD AGREE TO A 19MILL SALARY JUST TO PLAY WITH LBJ...SOMEBODY DEFINITELY NEEDS TO POST THAT TO REILY AND ON TWITTER/FACE OR WHATEVER SO WE CAN GET THIS FREE AGENCY SHIT DONE WITH...:lol::lol::lol::lol:
 
Maybe Bosh is being spiteful because he know they want Melo on the team.

Even if he is he has no control

They are all free agents

If they signed Melo and Bron right now wouldn't be a thing he could do about it except run off like ol boy on Friday did when Deebo took his grandmama chain
 
Someone from the Heat staff sent a picture of bill Simmons crying on draft night to Dan LeBatard...just heard it don't know what it means
 
What happen over the last pages...number kinda jumped

not a damn thing...false rumor that lebron was gonna make an announcement @ 3:30 EST and that police were sent to protect his house in cleveland or wherever
 
y'all boy jason whitlock

LeBron's pride simply not important

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/11199270/whitlock-lebron-james-pride-not-most-important-factor

*edit*

it's actually a decent read...this last quote stood out

It is. And I agree....this part....

An owner who wrote an angry letter versus an owner unwilling to make the kind of financial sacrifice James made. Let's quit talking about pride. Let's focus on progress and power.

Breaks it down perfectly.

The only thing I dont understand is who said the owner isnt willing to make the sacrifice??? yea the amnesty Miller but he wouldnt have made a difference against the spurs; And Joel anthony didnt even play; So I just think theres alot of shit being reported and printed by these fake ass writers/experts/insiders etc about nothing; just to keep people talking about the NBA....

So ask yourself why hasn't that happen yet?
 
it doesn't have to be said...actions...

understandable, but please tell me the actions that actually hurt the heat?? Miller being there, they still woulda lost to spurs in my opinion; so what other actions are there?? And saying something about this years free agency isnt saying much because it just started and its not over with...listen i know the owner is cheap, but hell so are 95% of all owners in the nba, maybe 100; so not sure realy what the article is getting at...

it's not just mike miller. The heat should have been trying to REALLY get better every season. Not stay the same and cut people and not kick the tires on people that never play and don't work.

That's exactly what you DON'T do when you have the #1 player in the world

and 99% of the owners don't have Lebron james...

how many would be willing to change to keep him happy?

they all would but they all do the same thing; gilbert did the same thing, so now lbj wants to go back??? Lakers did the same thing to kobe until he said fuck this shit im out; boston did the same thing to their big 3; dude all these owners do the same shit, except for maybe the spurs; and they do it to they just draft very well...

Not true. Gilbert had no problem going over the tax, nobody would come.

Lakers couldn't draft so they had to steal people from other teams but they had no problem paying folks

Boston was just old man.. that's not comparable.

It's about willing to pay..

LOTS of teams aren't but all those teams aren't in the heat position.

every year they should have locked some dudes up..

every year since year 1

Gilbert is in the 5% who aren't cheap. He'll try to buy a ring if Lebron comes back.

Exactly. People only started to want to come during the end of Bron's Cleveland run. And it was older players. Younger players didn't want to commit because they didn't know what Lebron would do in 2010. Gilbert stayed in the tax and it was well known the GM had an open checkbook to deal with.

miami has been over the cap for 4years now; they were the third highest payroll last year; so the heat owner isnt that cheap lol; hes one of like 3 owners out of the whole nba to vote against the current cba; im not saying they made the right moves all the time, but to say the owner is cheap and/or not willing to pay i think is disingenuous...

Either the gm failed or the owner failed because the heat never made huge moves that would be like ok there's no way lebron could leave after they just signed this dude....


dudes aint turning out cash anywhere.
 
Bruh you ain't a fan of a team you are a fan of winners.

I am born and raised in Miami. By the time I was old enough to start watching basketball The Heat organization was not around. The Heat did not become an organization until 1988.

Most people in Florida was Bulls or Laker fans. I was a Bull fans in the 90's but kept up with the Heats progress.

I was around during the Brian Shaw, Sherman Douglas, Bimbo cole, grant long, kieth Askin days.

As time went on especially after the MJ run the Heat became my team as they were the home town. Since then I have been a heat fan

Bruh, he's a Bulls/Heat fan too. Dont let him use that cac tricknology "im a realer fan" than you stuff. If the Heat win in 2015 he'll be celebrating. :lol:

What huge moves did they need to make if they were running off 27 games in a row. Dominate in the East. Dominate record wise against the west teams along with back to back titles
