Title: Wil NBA fix the draft lottery for the Lakers?
Post by: El Diablo Blanco on May 20, 2014, 08:34:26 AM
The Lakers have a 6-7% chance while some other teams are at 20% and higher.  Do you think the NBA will fix the odds to give LA the top pick?  Even if LA legitly won the lottery won't everyone claim it was fixed anyways?

Can you say Lebron going to cleveland or Ewing to the Knicks?

Yeah, if the lakers get the #1 or #2 pick and keep Gasol, they have a decent chance of signing a Lebron this offseason.  Even though kobe is a pain in the ass, he's still a huge storyline and lebron loves to be in the center of the league-wide drama story.

They tend to fix it most years for the best 'storyline'.  Would be shocked to see Jazz and Philly with top picks lol.

LMAO!!!!  Lebron will not be going LA . Kobe is the alpha male and could NEVER play with Lebron. Kevin Love, maybe. Id actually build a team around Love. IMO, he fits in best with Chicago OR Houston.

Wade is up for a BIG max long-term payday this off-season.  Lebron and Bosh can both opt out this year.  They'll have to take LESS $ than Wade to stay.  Will they do that?  I dunno.   Will Bosh bolt with his 2 rings for a massive paycheck to be on another team? 

If things in miami were the same, yes, lebron would be crazy to leave.  But if Bosh leaves, and their bench remains this weak, and Wade is making $5 mil more than him to be injured 1/3 the season... and every team in the league rolls out the red carpet for him... and if they lose in the playoffs this year...

I could see LeBron leaving.   I'd see that much more likely than him playing with a better-paid Wade and no bosh, losing every year to IND or Chicago with Love or Carmelo.

Bosh is weak but when he's on he is a big help.  Bosh had some big games in the finals last year that helped the Heat win.  he is throwing up a lot of threes this year which is new to his game, he's had some timely shots but also has shanked a lot.
Wade's strength was his speed and agility.  he had a second gear that was similar to Derrick Rose but with the bad knees that gear is gone.  Bosh loves Miami and is not leaving unless told to.  ESPN was talking about James going back to Cleveland.  No way that happens, especially after what a dick the owner was to him.  the owner sealed that casket shut.

I'll tell you this.  One play the Lakers will get is Kyrie Irving.  They'll have Irving, Wiggins with the rigged first pick, Kobe who I don't think can play anymore and possibly Bosh if the Heat don't keep him.

Wade will be offered a 3 yr deal similar to Tim Duncan.  They'll let him walk before they got stuck in 7 yr deal.

Wade will be offered a 3 yr deal similar to Tim Duncan.  They'll let him walk before they got stuck in 7 yr deal.

Wade's contract is technically up after the 2014-15 season, but he has an early termination option after next season and a player option in the last year of his deal. Additionally, his base salary exceeds $20 million in both of the final years of his contract ($20.1 million due next year and $21.6 due in the year after that).

That's a hefty chunk of change for any player, especially one who will be going into his 11th season next year. Even if the team as a whole continues to be successful, we may see a decline in Wade's individual performance in the next two seasons.

Wade has struggled with injuries from season to season, never having played a full 82-game slate during his whole career. What makes him such a liability to get hurt is his style of play that involves a lot more attacking the rim rather than perimeter jump shooting.

Therefore, I don't think it's worth the risk for the Heat to keep Wade beyond next season, especially considering the financial burden his contract carries. It's not a popular opinion among Miami fans, I'm sure, but if the team really wants to keep the success rolling with LeBron James still very much in his prime, then they might have to make a more logical decision over a sentimental one.

It may be a harsh reality to think this too, but the Heat may also benefit from having more cap-conscious talent to surround LeBron with in the future rather than one solid shooting guard in Wade. After seeing how dominant of a force James has been this season and will continue to be, it just makes so much more sense to spend the money on a stronger starting five and deeper bench rather than just three star players.

There's also the other side of this argument, where Wade could continue to play at a high level through the rest of his contract and maybe even sign another multi-year deal to play until retirement as a member of the Heat. I'm not saying that that's not a plausible scenario, I'm just saying that it seems unlikely for a guy who's already seeing decreases in his numbers compared to his career averages.

While it's the last thing in the mind of any Heat fan or team executive at this point of this season, the idea of trading Dwyane Wade may become a more tempting reality going into these next two seasons.

Sources told ESPN.com that all 30 teams were informed this week via league memorandum that an increase in the cap from this season's $58.6 million to $63.2 million in 2014-15.

To me, this sounds like a "Keep the Heat together another season!" rule :)  Even with that, you add up the Big 3 salary, and you're well over $61 million already!



Lebron salary...
2014-2015    20,590,000
2015-2016    22,112,500

And BOSH salary:
2014-2015    20,590,000
2015-2016    22,112,500

And WADE salary:
2014-2015    20,164,000
2015-2016    21,655,000

SOMEBODY is going to have to take a pay cut.  Or, maybe a Bosh signs a long-term deal elsewhere?   Who knows.  But all 3 coming back at their max salary, it's going to be impossible to get them any kind of help.
