KD says of his shoe prices " I'm not an 88$ player".
Let that had been MJ. Bgol what went ape shit.

NBA Offseason 2016 - FreeAgency money dried up...Waiters gets $2.6 after OKC pulled $6+ offer...
And imagine what they woulda said had he joined a 73 win all star team with a title already that just kicked his ass a month ago..
Marinate on that nigga.
Fuck KD
Man I just was reading that Micky was taking fully of Wade and his contract.
Which probably made since, with them knowing Wade wasn't happy last go round.
It said Wade spoke to Pat after the season about the contract but Mickey dealt with him from that point on.
Maybe it was just to save face.
Way to just cut to the bullshit Bruh. Won't be not damn asterisk next to his name when he wins chips with GS. All this he shoulda shit is some of the biggest nonsense ever and fuck Barkley and Reggie and whomever else wants to talk shit after the fact. Those motherfuckers didn't do it because they weren't presented the chance to. So, a superstar should have his decision during his FREE agency limited to certain teams!?!? What kind of bullshit is that! I'm glad he made the fucking decision HE wanted to and am going to laugh my ass off while he continues to collect his millions and possibly wins some chips while not giving two shits about all the motherfuckers whining and shit!
Yeah... Damage control to protect that oil slicked haired cocksucker...
Mick could've over ruled Pat and gave Wade the 3rd year and extra 10 mill
That would've been $16.6 mill a year or 3yrs/50m.. Wade retires as a Heat
They were ready to move on from wade.
They didn't try to keep him.
Bosh is next.

You're right. That's why I've always been a fan of Gilbert. Gilbert is making himself a lot of money elsewhere and seems to look at the team as a long-term hold. Gilbert is the one who fucked it up for other owners knowing he'd pay the penalties($50 millions).
Few owners will do that. They still are talking small market size when that doesn't even matter these days. Ticket sales go up for winners. More television. More jerseys sold. The Spurs kept the small market myth alive simply because they are a fucking boring product. If Lebron were in SAS, people would have stopped that market size talk years ago. Spurs shit would be every fucking where.
Owners are going to have to put up or shut up. Cheap owners will just be farm systems for owners who have true superstars and need pieces.
That's crazy because Miami is not winning a title over the next 3-4 years anyway. You think all of this was worth losing your franchise's biggest player. All over 7M man. The reputation of the franchise is gone over 7M and respecting Wade. Yall can't sell that "we're family and take care of our own" shit anymore..and that's the second thing the heat were known for after Wade. Would be different is wade was washed, but he actually had a good season.

Gilbert played those muthafuckas...the main one pushing that shit and now he's paying the biggest luxury tax bill.
He paid the penalties because he knew he would get that bread back and then some when the new TV deal hit! Notice, he hasn't spent a whole lot of money this offseason! Gilbert still playing chessYou're right. That's why I've always been a fan of Gilbert. Gilbert is making himself a lot of money elsewhere and seems to look at the team as a long-term hold.

Miami just used up Wade... already gotten him to take 30M in discounts and discarded him... plain and simple
Fuck them niggas for real.. You don't treat your franchise player, face of Miami sports that way.. No way in hell.. Pat Riley need to fuckin retire
Naw beat u misunderstood what I was suggesting.
Here:
Ira Winderman: A few clarifications: Pat Riley and Dwyane Wade discussed the Heat’s approach during a lengthy (reportedly cordial) meeting after season’s end… Micky Arison then took the point on Wade’s contract negotiations, staying in contact with Wade.
If Phil Jackson would have waited a few more days he could have given that 50 mill to Wade instead of Lee
Yup...most didn't think dude was gonna leave...Wade leaving the 305 and Wade County yea right
that's it. the heat are a family is what's been sold.
wade must've been the black sheep

Shit Miami is a small market and the held it down
Riley fucked up the heat reputation for what? But honestly Micky could have over Rule'd Riley and give Wade the 10 mill and 3yr so he can retire a Heat.. Fuckin clowns
I can only imagine the acting job he played behind the scenes. He had to tell them something good because I know they questioned the fact that he was a big spender.
Shit, he just bought Tower City in downtown Cleveland for like $60 million. Right next to his casino. Has property all around he hasn't developed but will need political help to do so. The chess he is playing is to control the entire region up here and hold the franchise while the NBA makes it go up a couple billion over the decades.
He'd have spent this year, but their are cap restrictions, remember? Not matching Delly and Mozgov were basketball moves, not coming down by Gilbert to save money. This guy will spend and spend to make this franchise relevant so he can keep brining people downtown to his casinos and other developments he has in mind.
Been watching this guy for too long. He's using sports as a path to other things. Much like smart superstars like James, Jordan, Magic, and others do. True fucking chess.
he ain't spent money this off season cause he spent it last off season lol. nothing really to do with chess you got 3 max contracts on the books there's not much more you can do other than just go ahead and reup lebron for the max 1 year deal he been getting.
i was done when the cac complained that the pistons didn't play downtown cause he owns hella shit downtown detroit too
like cac how the fuck you gonna tell another franchise where they should play? don't make it so obvious you want to make money off of 2 nba franchises
Everyone thought both parties would come to an agreement
Micky taking the point on contract negotiations and Pat not? Pat is a fuckin clown
he's a genius with a good numbers guy is what i was told.

You was never a fan of Gilbert stop telling duck tales Gene... Them four years y'all was stinking up the joint you talked mad shit bout Gilbert
Who told u that?
His ass was adopted!
he just went on maury and found out pat was not his father.
a fellow heat fan sir brown shit
Yeah, I've heard he's bought up a lot of Detroit too. With that said, it's stupid to play outside of Detroit. I remember when the Cavs played in Richfield. It was just dumb as fuck. When Gun arena opened in the 90s, folks could finally catch the rapids to the game.
Having an arena 30 minutes or more from the city is dumb.
You got the wrong guy with that one. When Lebron was gone, still was a fan. He wants a winner. I don't care about his motives of owning the damn region. Hope he eventually snatch up all the sports teams up here.
They say his number guy is the real deal...
Seem like each team would have a numbers guy that would have the same information
