Rebuild the Realm: Official 2014 Miami Heat OffSeason Thread

[Malta]

I don't think it's that easy a decision to make (outside of purely basketball).

It really is that easy if LeBron is threatening to leave, you lose both of them if Bron goes, or you just lose Bosh and gain Melo in his place.

How is he shytting on Cleveland when he hasn't met with them publicly nor said a word about signing with them? I don't think Lebron dislikes Bosh he just doesn't think he's a good enough side kick now that Wade is washed. He's already leaked information to the media through his handlers that he think Bosh's game is trash. If the public knows this I'm pretty sure both Riley and Bosh do too. But Riley is not about to let Lebron make personnel moves when he's the President of Basketball operations.

The real question is whether Dan Gilbert would allow Lebron to call the shots if he signed with the Cavs. That's probably all Lebron is waiting for before jumping ship is the ability to remake the roster as he sees fit.

LeBron hasn't squashed the fire that is raging away in Cleveland either, if Rich Paul told Woj that the Cavs weren't a serious place to sign this would all be dead right now. He could have used the Phoenix Suns or Lakers for leverage if that's the goal, but instead they are using the Cavs? That will not be received well if he doesn't sign there.

I've never read anything about Bron disliking Bosh's game, after the finals that Bosh had nobody would really look at the Heat negatively if they cut him loose and signed Melo.

Who cares about a rookie that Spo won't probably won't let get off the bench all season. If Beasley couldn't get any play time I doubt we'll see Napier except during Summer League.

If you listen to the Stephen A. Smith podcast he goes into detail about Lebron losing confidence in Bosh's ability to produce with Wade's injuries. When Wade was reasonably healthy this wasn't a big deal. But who knows if Wade will ever be the same again so Lebron needs a reliable #2 guy to play alongside.

This doesn't even make sense though, Bosh could still be a number 2 if Wade was willing to take a step back and come off the bench, but that will never happen.

Can we let the Melo stuff go until there's some proof of an actual link between him waiting and Lebron waiting?

If the bold part is true then that would just add more fuel to the Melo signing us fire.

basically...bosh being able to be the 2 has nothing to do with ability, that's all about wade and spo....if wade and spo decide to let him be the 2 option, he'll shine...if they don't, he'll continue to do what he's doing now...which isn't bad by the way, it's just not what he can potentially do.....

Bosh did do that during the regular season but come playoff time took a backseat to Wade. Melo wouldn't take a backseat to Wade willingly. And Bosh doesn't have it in him to just demand being a bigger part of the offense. I don't think Melo would work in Miami anyway because Wade probably ain't giving up his team to both Bron and Melo.

melo has no respect for himself if he resigns with the knicks

He don't really have a choice...He gave up the team to Bron long ago. Plus Melo gonna get his shots regardless of what Wade and Bron do on the court. They would literally have to play keep away and not pass him to the ball because once he catches that bytch he looking to score.
