2014 NBA - The Heat will not win it all this year.

Bulls trade up to take the whitest guy in the draft, wonderful 

From fucking Bosnia of all places

McDermott is American I think but I'm not certain.

Lebron's era = WAY more difficult.  All the int'l players, all the gh, all the sports nutrition and injury recovery advantages.  Take away the refs/tv adnvatage, and lebron is kevin durant these days.  And without pippen, MJ has 1-2 titles.

Really?  

With all that the league is full of unpolished high school players with tattoos who show up on college campus gyms ONLY for a couple of months of drills for the NBA draft.  if Lebron was a real leader, he'd have at least 4 by now.  The league is full of mental midgets vs the Jordan era.

I was talking about the kid they drafted at #16. The 6'11" center.

WADE OUT as well , will test Free Agency


MIAMI (AP) -- Dwyane Wade is joining LeBron James in free agency.

Wade told the Miami Heat on Saturday that he is opting out of the final two years on his contract, which means he is free to talk to any team on July 1. It's the same option James exercised earlier this week.

The move also comes three days after Wade, James and Chris Bosh met at a posh Miami Beach hotel to discuss their futures.

By opting out, Wade forgoes the remaining $41.8 million in his current deal and will sign a new contract with the Heat or any other club. The move also provides the Heat financial flexibility to sign additional players while quite possibly being able to convince Wade and James into staying.

Bosh has the same opt-out option and has not yet announced his plans.

Espn reporting now that all 3 are opting out to free agency

wade is crazy.... take the 42 mil for 2 years and retire.  I wonder if the Heat was promising him things, then will pull the plug on any deal if lebron bails.  I mean, what is Wade really worth?  Dude only played 2/3 the season and was silent in the finals.  He is nowhere NEAR a max player.

He's trying to be selfless and a team player, but "might" get screwed in the end. The Heat will screw him in a minute if they had the chance to get a younger player and say it was just business.

Pat riley wont do wade like that, no way. Lebron will leave immediately.
If wade was due 41M he may come back for half of it, personally I will send bosh and wade packing and concentrate on new fresh talent.

What, is being said is Wade would restructure his deal to 4 or 5 yrs somewhere between 42 to 50 million.

Heat would be hurting themselves in a big way to sign Wade to a contract like that.  Has he "earned" it for the city, sure.  But would fans really want to hurt their chances over the next 5 years with an albatross like ten mil a year, for a 36 year old wade that can't jump at all.

I could see them totally screwing him over on this... just CUTTING wade and signing a much more effective Melo for the same amount of money.   But what option did he have?  MIA would have blamed him for taking full $ if lebron left.

I was thinking same thing. No matter who they field in 15(unless it's shaq from back in the day), if they run into the spurs...it just ain't happening

LeBron would fair better with those youngsters in Cleveland imo. East is a cake walk to finals.

[Man of Steel]

Last year this time the spurs were old broken tired slow unathletic washed up has beens.

Today the same group is the most dominant force in basketball LOL.

And Lebron,  Wade and Bosh are splitting up in free agency.

Must suck to be a Heat fan today cause it's all over.

And the washed up old has beens?  They're comin back.

[catracho]

It does suck for now, but Heat fans know that the owner like to win and spend money.  They aren't the Bucks or Hornets, so they will be back.  Look at the other teams that came into the league with or right after miami, not one Championship.  Only a Shaq lead magic team was any good.  Like any run, eventually it's over, but in Pat Riley we trust!! lol

By restructuring the big 3's contracts it would clear out cap space to go out and sign some others. It would work if Wade could swallow his pride and agree to come off the bench like Genoblli. Lets see if Riley can work his magic again.

I would say bye to Wade and show Bosh the door.
I will be suprised if wade can walk next year, he is due for knee surgery.
If Miami let bosh and wade go then I'm sure lebron walks too.
Hope they lose again next year.

[gmflex]

The heat got a freebie in 2013 due to the spurs meltdown.
As everybody saw that wasn't the case in 2014..
The SPURS learned from it and destroyed the heat..
Something the heat hasnt done in the last 2 years which is beating the SPURS in convincing fashion..
The SPURS own the heat..2015 wil be the same.
LeBron was stupid thinking keeping wade or Bosch will make difference..

James is eligible and SEEKING to sign a five-year, $130 million extension with the Heat.  That's not a pay cut.

James does not need a pay cut, he deserves it, the pressure he gets from media, social media, etc I don't care how much he makes off the court, he deserves every penny of the 130M

[240 is Back]

The heat lost Mike Miller.  I said it for months - he was going to be VERY missed in the playoffs, and he was. 

and the Heat players were playing for their next contract.  Spurs were playing with ten times more heart. 

[Pray_4_War]

These guys aren't going anywhere.  They are just trying to find a way to manipulate the salary cap even more so they can bring another star player in.  Lebron has Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and Ray Allen and still needs more help to win.  Lol.  Yep, better add Carmelo Anthony.  Gotta win some more of those fake rings.

First of all thank God for this thread and the rest of the forum has turned into garbage.

Lebron should attract players to him, I believe Melo is better then Bosh, so fuck him off and bring Carmelo, make him lose weight and defend.

Wade has to come off the bench or completely fuck off,  his not old but his physically fucked. He did not play a full season and still had injury issues.

For all of them to opt in, I believe melo is joining. But I don't believe he will walk away from the extra 30M the knicks will give him.
What do I care, I dislike them anyway.

Pray4War, whats your take on Jason kidd jumping ship.

I hope Spurs can win again next year.
