Rebuild the Realm: Official 2014 Miami Heat OffSeason Thread

[Eza]

So you're saying that every single report/rumor of anything Bron/Cleveland related is false?

How is a RUMOR not false until proven otherwise? You be so concerned with everybody else squad cause you already know as early as summer league that your team ain't doing shyt outside of making it to the first round.

Perennial ass nikkas.

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's silly to hold the belief he's staying or that he's more likely to stay than leave (because after all yall dudes are fans), but there's a few of you in here who are just sticking their fingers in their ears, disregarding everything like somehow the possibility of him leaving doesn't exit at all.

I will be honest with you, it wasn't the reporters or social media that makes me feel like he's leaving. I'm looking at it from an objective basketball situation. The Cavs are stacked. It's young talent and lots of picks, but stacked nonetheless. If I am being honest with you, despite my bias towards the Heat, the smarter decision is the Cavs here (unless Riley pulls out some magic or mafia shyt -- always possible) from his standpoint. Home, Redemption, Better young team, a lot of picks, potential for a huge trade (Love?).

Obviously you can't read - when report is positioned right next to rumor. Plus I think it's fairly obvious that Bron leaving is a realistic possibility. Who the fukk are you any way? And who's my team?

It seems you're just mad cause I ethered yall Pistons fans last season.

No. That Cavs roster is overrated

And the team is still badly managed

Overrated roster is still better than no roster. I agree with your second point.

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Jason Smith and Rodney Stuckey would be nice

That combined with Deng, Ariza or Marvin Williams..

 

[Buckeye Fever]

@CrimsonTider refrain from speakin on the Cavs. You just worry about the diva ass Heat, Chris Bosh, and his thot wife, who the entire Dipset done ran thru

All those reports are based on what you're viewing from an 'objective basketball situation' tho, that's how they gained traction - if Cleveland wasn't his home, if it wasn't a chance to gain redemption, if the Cavs weren't a younger team with picks and potential for a star trade then it wouldn't have snowballed this far.

As opposed to what? Overrated compared to Miami's roster? Remind me, who's on the Heat's roster?

Understood but then it becomes an opinion. In real journalism, opinions based on analysis are still opinion. Just think about 2010 again. Sources this, reports that.

For us in South Florida, we don't even need to go back to 2010. If you remember when the Colts cut manning, multiple legitimate people were saying that the Dolphins were the most likely scenario. Schefter, Mortensen, and others.

So forgive us for brushing these reports and sources aside.

At the urging of LeBron James' agent, the Cleveland Cavaliers are pursuing a maximum contract salary slot to bring back the free-agent superstar, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Rich Paul, the president of Klutch Sports, has been funneling belief into the organization that the Cavaliers are in strong position to lure James from the Miami Heat, sources told Yahoo Sports.

For years, Paul has confided to people that bringing back James to Cleveland has been something of a mission for him, and he's encouraging Cavaliers officials to offer no restraint in the recruitment of James, sources said.

The Phoenix Suns remain determined to make a case to James, offering an excellent core of young players, a chance to bring a second max star with him, but everyone's at the mercy of Paul's agenda now. He's running James' free agency, and getting through to James won't happen without his childhood pal-turned-agent.

Paul will be joining James for a sit-down meeting with Miami president Pat Riley early this week, when there could come more clarity on James' future with the Heat. Riley has been recruiting free agents to join Miami, but has been limited in salary cap space to make competitive offers and limited in the ability to promise players they'll get to play with James.

At this point it really doesnt matter what Riley has to say. LeBron has his snake boy as his agent and will listen to him, his "crew" wants to be back in Ohio.

Why does everything have to be snake this and snake that? Let us be better than those Cleveland fans. It's a business and our front office obviously either didn't plan properly, bet on free agents signing for less or they got something in the works.

At this point, the most "snake" move would be giving Cleveland hope like this and re-signing with Miami. There might be mass suicides there if that happens.

It wasn't about the front office, he had his mind made up on what he was going to do.
