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

[BDR]

Yep. Frankly the big problem with this team is Wade. Declining health and skills but to proud to do whats best for the team and come of the bench or give them 22 minutes a game, preserve his legs for the playoffs. Plus, he needs to take a pay cut so they can use that money to get some better help. Mark my words, the decline of this team will come through this shit right here, D Wade at this point is the weak link. Superstar Prima Donna mind, slightly above average skills and body at this point in his career.

How many weak links avg 19pts on 55% FG with bad knees? Not amare

You going overboard all wade need to do is play better transition defense and on offense get in the post... Plus be a willing facilitator more than looking for his shot

 

[asiam]

Bosh is not overrated.
What's Cleveland without Lebron, oh yea a lottery team with a rookie head coach and an asshole owner

Miami is a lottery team with a USELESS coach and a cheap asshole owner without Lebron. I do not see your point... Bosh is not only over rated he has not done what he was brought to miami to do.

 

[dtownsfinest]

@ Dudes in here talking about the Cavs like y'all actually watch them lol.

 

[Kadraven]

Miami just went to the finals with that team.
They aren't finished rebuilding it.
The core is there.
Cavs were a lottery team.
Kyrie is injured as much as wade.
The team is youthful with no experience.
1st time coach.
Asshole owner

Kyrie only missed 11 games last season

He played 30-40 games.......On defense he was continually scorched in the playoffs.

 

[Chitownheadbusa]

Chicago can't score. Rose would have to be back at MVP level, and they aren't very deep. Plus they're unproven with McDermott and the foreign kid.

Melo wil stay in NY...LBJ going back to Miami....



Our defense wil stil be #1 or #2 next year.
Especially with the added long bodies.
Tom has been great at turning so so defenders into useable defenders (Boozer excluded)


Rose doesnt need to be 100%.... his speed is stil there...he just needs to be @75% on offense. that Euro dude and the rookie can give us 10-15ppg ....we're still getting some fa...maybe not melo..but someone. With that we'll be good enough to beat Indiana, Miami, Wizards etc.

Mark my words.

The East aint a offensive powerhouse like the West.

Now as far as the Spurs, OKC, etc. in the finals....I dont know.

 

[gene cisco]

@ Dudes in here talking about the Cavs like y'all actually watch them lol.

Cats hated the Cavs when Lebron was here. Now they talking Cavs. And asshole owner. How many Cleveland fans feel that way? Just people who don't even like Cleveland.

 

[Complex]

Plus Miami's pick next year is going to Cleveland

They get Memphis's pick and there own

So that's three first rounds picks, which they can package for another player

And if they get Kevin Love...please

I don't see how any unbiased person can say that Lebron, Kyrie and Love ain't at least winning the east

They might be a year away like Miami was, but can anyone say Miami is going to beat the western conference team with what looks like no major changes?

He's a platoon player bruh, those stats are inflated due to the fact that he now plays damn near a college season. Also, like I said, he was a KEY contributor to the flaming the Spurs put on the Heat! Not saying he's not a quality player, but he is no longer a superstar or the player everyone keeps referencing from his past. If he's platooning NOW, what is there to make anyone think he's going to get any better. Dude isn't even 32 yet, and his body has broken down to the point he has to take days off already

And don't forget the Sixers own their other first round pick I believe

 

[lazarus]

Did I miss something?

Noah has post moves?

Pau, Melo, Calderon and JR Smith? Is this some sort of a joke?

None of those teams has a player close to Lebron.

huh? melo, pau calderon and jr smithm phil gm, and a coach with multiple rings would kill LeBron and a bunch of scrubs and a coach that has no direct link to the nba. LeBron would need to score 60+. pau would light up that post.

noah plays defense. clev post is subpar as is. thas what I meant by school. you aint getting by the east with a weakass post.

Miami just did, weak post and weak SG play...

 

[lazarus]

stop bringing up love until you show me minn is willing to trade with cle and a deal is in the works. until then, stop the hypotheticals. if you play that game, you don't even know what mia is adding too.

we're talking as is homie

bosh is weak? go sit in a timeout

bosh vs Bennett LOL

 

[AwwDamn]

bosh is weak? go sit in a timeout

The way Miami uses him yes... I guess you didn't see the same finals everybody in the free world saw huh...

And he's not a conventional post player. The reason the Miami Heat are the Miami Heat is because of LeBron, it starts and ends with him. Just like people used to refer to the Bulls as Michael and the Jordanaires...

LeBron is the reason they are relevant TODAY! Not Wade, Bosh anyone else but LeBron...

 

[asiam]

Miami is ass without Lebron. Cleveland is ass without Lebron. If Miami plays against Cleveland with Lebron, having Bosh and Wade is not enough.
Miami has a useless Coach and their answer to every problem is Lebron. Spin it however you want. What was the most wins Toronto had with Bosh as their main star??????

bosh is the best big man in the east. you must be high. name another big in the east worthy of 22/mil a yr.

bosh was balling all year. they wouldn't have gotten that far without him. you trying to minimize him and all, but hes better than any big in the east. wade w fucked up knees is better than anyone in cle except maybe 2 to 3 players.

you cant rationalize it. going to cle is a step down. if hes willing to do that and be patient, then that's the decision. but mia would whup that team for next couple of yrs. if mia even kept the same team, they back in the finals. cle would be lucky to get past the first round

wade (10 time all star) and bosh ( 9 time all star) and LeBron vs LeBron and kyrie, and wiggins, you saying bosh and wade, proven winners, are going to lose to a no defense point and unproven player you don't know shit about basketball. mofos wouldn't even get a call their way as well

if you are inferring I said mia can beat cle with LeBron, I never said that. cuz LeBron is the difference but mia is a better team for him because he will go back to the finals again.

 

[dtownsfinest]

It's not hard bruh niggas got league pass

Dudes ain't watching no Cavs play. I refuse to believe that unless youR a Cavs fan. Dude up top talking about Kyrie injured as much as Wade lol. Prime example lol.

Only opinions I trust on the Cavs are people who actually watch them. Not some highlights.

That being said, every team Bron has been on make it to the finals. Why or how would that change with the Cavs? Is Bron gonna fall off?

 

[Amajorfucup]

i just wasted 15 mins of my life watching that pat riley press conference dude looks like he hasn't slept well in 2 days...

That roster looks like hes been sleep the last four years.

How u like Ennis in summer league so far and Napier dispite his 2 shitty games ?

So we admitting Napier's shitty play now??


Im telling you this kid is D league caliber. He has no place in this league on a competitive roster.

Hmmmm John wall had a shitty ass summer camp his rookie year, got cooked by Lin..

Nobody was talkin D league bruh

Summer league is there for a purpose? For college players to transition into the NBA style of play.. I've watched Napier at uconn enough to know the kid is nice..

Same with kimba walker nobody was projecting him be a lottery pick until his NCAA tourney run..

 

[lazarus]

No. Hes had two absolutely putrid games. Against mainly sub D league competition. Not good my man.

You guys are either blind or just dishonest If you can sit here and see any similarities in Wall/Rose to fucking Shabazz Napier. I cant respect this shit fellas. Shame on you niggas.
