Rebuild the Realm: Official 2014 Miami Heat OffSeason Thread

[Newzz]

Im sure it has nothing to do with the Lakers being trash and the best player in the league returning to play with fresher young talent . Im sure that was a hard decision .Too bad you couldnt have had this epiphany during that losing streak a couple of years ago.

Stop making excuses for being a frontrunner breh . Just do you

Ummmm, Kobe is STILL my favorite player in the NBA. I never said I wasnt gonna root for the Lakers anymore, just put the hometown team first


Trust me....you will see my Kobe threads in a couple more months

Bulls talking to Wade now

this would be nuclear

If the Heat can't retain Bosh they cannot panic spend by locking people into long term deals. They need to take care of Udonis and Wade, 2 years $12 million for Udonis and Wade gets a legacy type deal of 3 years $60 million.

Beyond that whoever you sign should be for a 2 years and no more, you're going to suck but don't lock average or slightly above average players into long term deals.

if wade leave Ima fall back fron sports for a min

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

Why does Lebron owe Pat Riley or anyone with the Heat organization anything. They didn't even tell Lebron before they held Wade out of games during the regular season. I don't blame Lebron for wanting to go somewhere he's the main priority.

He at least owes them letting them know his plans early. I'm reading reports that he told Gilbert he was going back on Sunday while Riley was along moves to reload the team on Monday. The Wade thing isn't ideal, but when the plan is have him ready for the playoffs so he wouldn't be 2013 playoffs Wade again.

Riles wont panic. Because they still got 2016 the mind.

 

[Groanman]

Might I suggest tanking for 2016?

 

[WaddupDoe!]

So did we ever officially sign McJesus & Granger?

 

[Makavalli]

Wade to bulls god please no! Hopefully riley telling bosh he the man and he going back to the 4 and we getting a center. We can give him 5 anyway instead of 4

This is what should and will happen but the bigger question is will Riley stick around

He's 69..

 

[MsBigHead]

I'd be bummed if he left for let's say Dallas or Houston or Chicago, but after getting Wade and Haslem to leave a combined $46 million on the table and taking so long that we couldn't get Lowry, this is some slimy shyt. The issue is going back there after the way they treated him on his exit. I read some comment the other day that they were the figurative ugly chick that let him coast and never pushed him to achieve since they knew he could do better, while Miami is the dime that wouldn't let him coast. Dude dragged Riley cross country for a meeting when he knew he was already leaving. Pat Riley deserves better than that.

Riley deserves better..? Thats his job. . If he cant fly across the country to meet with his star then he needs to find a new occupation. Lebron played extremely well for us especially this past year. Thats all we can ask for.

The 2016 draft won't be very good if Thon Maker doesn't reclassify.

 

[MsBigHead]

nikka shut up....the heat looked shaky in the finals and Bron wanted to give cleveland a shot at a championship....we got some great memories from the last four years...quit acting like those cavs fans back in 2010 and enjoy the memories and move on. I refuse to start disrespecting a man we all called the greatest a week ago...fukk outta here with that shyt....Bron is still the best player in the league and could potentiall still become the goat....salute to him for bring 4 str8 finals appearances and 2 titles to the heat...

Exactly....I almost wish some of them would follow his ass to the cavaliers

 

[Draje]

I'm going to tell you the same thing I told Knicks fans, although there are no superstars in the draft(which come every 3-6 years), there are AS talent in that top 5. Mudiay projects to be a 6'5 ; Jahlil Okafor is a taller version of Boogie/Al Jefferson, and Mario Hezonja is an very athletic version of Gallinari with handles.

Even if you don't get one of those players in the draft, a top 10 pick is still valuable, and you can use that in a package to net Boogie, especially if you have two top 10 picks. Keep the picks and play them or use them to acquire players in trade. Not counting KD, you still have Al Horford; Batum(athletic SF with J and lockdown d), Noah, and Mike Conley Jr in this 2016 FA Class.

Also you'll likely get assets(late picks, but still) through S&T off Bosh and Bron. Not saying Miami will be in the Finals in 2017, but they can be close to their if they play this smart.

Bulls wouldn't give us Noah, Mike Conley ain't no championship piece, Al Horford is an injury prone fukkboy, and Boogie is a no defense playing moron.



I'm just hurting right now.
