Bron ain't there no more he will go lmaooo

Granger was talkin greasy a couple years ago too

Dog..... Granger should be happy he got ANY deal. Dude played in like 50 games the last 2 years :lol: and he's nowhere near the player he was 3-5 years ago.

Plus Rondo is an asshole..... I think when he says it he actually means it.

Harden probably hasn't had a coach in his entire life that made him play defense

That's the issue

He can do it at least at a decent level, he is athletic

Nobody has demanded it of him

This. Hardens problem is that he doesn't put effort on the defensive end but he has the skills to play defense. When he was with OKC he gave the effort, I remember he used to play good D on Kobe. After the Rockets lost to the Blazers, he admitted that his defense wasn't the best and he's gonna work on that in the off season.

I expect him to be a better defender this season since the book is out on him.
 


Stay classy, Florida GOP :shades:

Yeah we asking a lot of Tyson Chandler

Niggas been trying to sell me on the size of our front court but you have a guy in Dirk who never was a quality defender only a willing one is now 36 years old and slowed down

The you have Parsons who they trying to sell as a good defender but I keep hearing about him getting cooked :lol:

Backcourt is undersized and the backups undersized too

Niggas say I'm crazy when I say we should have signed Deng for the 10 mill a year as opposed to the Parsons for 15 mill a year but I stand by that

If I'm wrong I'm wrong

We'd still have cap space and another defender in the starting lineup, who can score too and had Allstar pedigree

Something Parsons nor Ariza have

I seen parson put up some good defense against lebron and Durant 1 on 1 last season and plus he has a jumper and can drive hole and dunk on a fool. Dallas got a good pickup with parson

On a side note I wish I could be in the gym for the first time Nick Johnson guard James Harden.

During the playoffs Johnson tweeted (then deleted) "James Harden plays nnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooo defense"

You know Harden gone try to roast that dude when he pick him up.

While those accountants are figuring out how $34 mil > $42 mil, how bout me and you sit down and try to figure out how 34 mil over 2 years is losing?

Because I'm trying to lose like that. Like as soon as possible.
 
Ok, go cash your check, take 20% of it, set it on fire, then tell me if you won't feel like you lost. If you could have just done nothing and got 42 mil or do something an get 34, do nothing wins every time.

That's not really an accurate representation though. He got a longer term contract and considering his declining health, Wade would likely have zero leverage to negotiate a significant contract in 2016 for two more years. All this is a restructuring so that Miami could still acquire talent and they''ll take care of Wade on the backend. He's getting all of his money. He's just waiting to get it. Wade is gambling on he fact that Miami will take care of him (even post retirement) and that his health is declining (which it has been) and that it's better to secure MORE MONEY guaranteed even if you take less immediately.

The Associated Press, citing an anonymous source, reported the deal is for two years and worth about $34 million, with a player option for the 2015-16 season.

No extra years and shit. He opted out and gave that Money to McBob and Bosh.

Yeah.

Pretty much Lebron leaving put Wade's money in Bosh's pocket.

Big tex don't realize whether it's 34 mill or 42 mill wade can still by the same shit any other millionaire can buy.

And Arison will def take care of wade post retirement.. Look at the heat coaching staff all former heat players and their assistant coach was the first Heat head coach in franchise history.. Zo morning still there

Wade will be fine

LeBron James returning to CLE still doesn't feel 100% real. It's just starting to sink in how different the NBA landscape will be next year.

Heat reportedly give Dwyane Wade and Luol Deng two-year deals. Setting up for the summer of 2016.

6 bil can buy the same shit as 6.1 bil but that didn't stop Micky from cutting Miller to avoid paying the tax.
