smarter than West leaving $11 million on the table for a dumb ass ring. he aint recouping that money from endorsements
Yeah man......the worst damn team in the West. I'd be more interested in him going to the Kings or some shit.
Yeah he's a dick but no one wants to come play for anyone.At least he's been able to keep Dirk. OKC about to lose Westbrook and Durant. Shit could be worse.
The chance of us finding that special kind of fool again is slim to none
Get Ray Allen to do what? Coach?
No way that nigga can be serious about that shit.
Unless he plans on gettin his Dwight Howard on, play 23 games and go down with an injury. 
Better go find someone from another country again. They just be happy to be over here so they'll play for anyone and stay there. Had our shot with Greek Freak........
damn
Shit probably get him to play the Steve Kerr role. Sit behind the 3 point line and just make buckets.
No way that nigga can be serious about that shit.
Goh damn.......shit...fuck.
Wade playing this shit all wrong. I was comending him for this shit earlier but this nigga went to the Nuggets. If I'm Riley I'd call his bluff.
He not leaving south beach to go to Denver. No fucking way.
So it's a 10 million dollar difference. Just give him the 10 Pat. Damn.Goh damn.......shit...fuck.

the first true homegrown hall of fame player in your franchise history who never played for anyone else at any point and delivered 3 championships while just having led your team to the 2nd round of the playoffs.
and this is how you thank him

Wade to chicago
BeatDownTapes and JonDoe say Riley the GOAT GM tho.
Fuck beatdowntapes and Riley
Up feeding the birds?
Good Morning young brother...Was gonna get a run in but I aint feeling it today. Bout to get a back massage and grab some breakfast tho.
Gonna be interesting to watch the trajectory of the careers of Barnes and Durant from here in out. If it goes in anyway short of exactly how we expect, there will be no shortage of stories written on the moves.
Wades problem was the development of Josh Richardson and Tyler Johnson. Those boys are ready now. Wade knew what time it was when they decided to Max Bosh and not him.
Plus Pat never really got over how Wade did him with Lebron.
my Bad Lil.... Nah Just joking!!! 
Glad to see that you've finally embraced your new team.
Hopefully you were able to order an always sold out Curry #30 jersey
Must be illiterate or just stupid.
He doesn't have an agent. Agent ain't letting that happen
ah..that explains it
Dirk also does not do endorsement deals.
Just Nike. He's left 100+ million on the table.
Robert Pack admits current NBA players have it much better now than when he played
On the first day of NBA free agency this past Friday more than $1.7 billion was handed out in contract offers.
It has been huge contracts galore, which includes Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley agreeing to a five-year, $153 million contract and former Pelicans backup forward Ryan Anderson accepting the Houston Rockets' four-year, $80 million contract. Small forward Solomon Hill, who started only three games last season and averaged 4.2 points with Indiana, got a four-year, $52 million contract offer from the Pelicans.
With the amount of substantial contracts extended by teams, Pelicans assistant coach and New Orleans native Robert Pack, 47, wished he was 20 years younger so he could be part of this current era of NBA players.
Pack, entering his second season on Alvin Gentry's coaching staff, played in the NBA as a point guard from 1991 to 2004. During the 2002-03 season, Pack played in 28 games for the then-New Orleans Hornets.
''I had that conversation with my mom, I was born too early,'' said Pack, who is the head coach of the Pelicans' summer league team that opens on Friday in Las Vegas against the Lakers. ''I talked last night about that. It's a good time to be a player.''
Pack was a member of the 1991-92 Portland Trail Blazers that advanced to the NBA Finals before losing to the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls. Pack also was a member of the 1993-94 Denver Nuggets that made NBA history as the first No. 8 seed to a defeat a No. 1 seed (Seattle Supersonics) in the first round of the playoffs.
Pack totaled just more than $23 million during his entire 13-year career. As a rookie in 1991-92 with the Trail Blazers, Pack made $130,000. He landed his biggest contract with the Nuggets when he made $4.3 million in 2000-01.
Pelicans star forward Anthony Davis will earn $22.1 million this upcoming season in the first year of his five-year extension, according to Spotrac.
''I hope the guys continue to get paid, but continue to respect the game, play hard and give the fans what they pay for.''
In Pack's heyday, the Cleveland Cavaliers had the highest payroll in the league at $23.7 million in 1993-94 and Nuggets' payroll totaled $17.3 million with center Dikembe Mutombo drawing the highest salary on the team at $3 million.
The NBA announced this past Saturday that the salary cap for the 2016-17 season will be set at $94.1 million. The minimum payroll for the league's 30 teams is $84.7 million.
The salary cap and luxury tax have soared because starting with the 2016-17 season, the NBA's new nine-year, $24 billion TV deal begins. This past season's salary cap was $70 million and luxury tax threshold was $84.7 million. For this upcoming season, the luxury tax threshold will be $133.2 million.
''The game has definitely grown,'' said Pack, who was former high school star at Lawless before playing in college in USC. ''Monetarily the guys have been able to benefit a lot better now.''

Sources: Ray Allen eyeing Warriors, Cavs, Spurs, Clippers
Ray Allen, one of the greatest shooters in NBA history, is considering making a comeback, according to league sources.
Allen's representatives recently reached out to the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers, sources told ESPN, about the possibility of Allen joining the two conference champions.
The Warriors are unsure whether they want to pursue the future Hall of Famer, sources said. Allen's contact with the Cavs was first reported by Cleveland.com.
Allen, who will turn 41 on July 20, is also not absolutely sure he wants to return after sitting out the past two seasons. But he is intrigued by the possibility of playing for another championship, and in addition to the Warriors and Cavs, he would consider joining the San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Clippers, sources said.
Miami Heat in 2013-14, his final season.
Allen averaged 18.9 points over his career and shot 40 percent from the 3-point line. The 10-time All-Star won championships with Boston in 2008 and Miami in 2013.
In 2013, Allen salvaged the title hopes ofLeBron James, Dwyane Wade and the Heat by making a game-tying 3-pointer with 5.2 seconds left in regulation to force overtime against San Antonio in Game 6 of the NBA Finals. Miami went on to win the series in seven games.
