Not really. Bron gets max (22), Bosh gets 15 mil and Wade gets 11-12 saves Miami 13 mil. Haslem saves Miami at 3/9, 2 mil. 15 mil saved. Out of the 70 mil they had with those four alone with Norris Cole and Napier.

That gives them 55 mil in those contracts. They could resign their own FA's. Miami would prefer to go over the salary cap as they would get to keep their MLE instead of under the cap to sign their own FA's. So Birdman for 1.5 mil. Lewis for 1.5. Oden min. Beasley 1 mil. Use the MLE to sign Okafor.

The problem before they opted out was they would get a tax payers MLE which is weak as shyt and if they went too far over the tax, they wouldn't get anything at all. So it helps they opted out. Made it possible for them to get a MLE which is 5 mil.
that could very well happen but I'm assuming the big 3 will all take pay cuts so Riley can bring in more players. We just have to wait and see.

You don't think Ray is coming back? He's still got some left in the tank and if LeBron comes back I don't see why he would go elsewhere.

You really think the Heat will go into a season with Cole and a rookie as the only PG's in the roster? :comeon:

Yeah.

Of course, but I didn't know he wanted to come back. I though he might retire like Shane did.

i highly doubt a team managed by Pat Riley goes into a sea on with a rookie andn Cole as it's PG's. They're gonna bring in a veteran the mentor Nappier for a few years

I agree. Too much risk with Cole and the rookie. Need a veteran pg. Jameer nelson is available I think. Or we gotta see if we get kyle lowry. Haven't heard anything on ray allen, if he's coming back. Hopefully he does.

Cole is going to be trained under Gary Payton. I don't know who is going to train Nappier, but he seem like he is going to be a good pg for the Heat. We don't need an old vet to come mentor the our young guards while leeching off the vet minimum salary.

I hope Beasley can come back. Not sure about Oden but if he does he should be much improved with a full season to learn the system and get in shape. He better get in the gym with Lebron.

And i swear, if Wade doesn't move into Tim Grover's basement this offseason there's gonna be a misunderstanding if i run into him in these streets :birdman:

I think Cole might get traded since he's the only asset we have to bring in any other player via trade.

For EXaMPLE: If the Lowry thing is real (doubt it) I think the only reason why he does sign-and-trade as opposed to sign outright is for more years. Riley might bring him in, let him start and mentor Nappier and after 3 years trade him and let Nappier take the reigns if he's ready by then

again, the issue we're not discussing is SPo. We can have the best squad but if Spo is still getting outcoached left and right and it takes him 1 game to make adjustments, we will not beat the Spurs next year again. Giving Spo a rookie is a disaster brehs. Please someone shake Riley and tell him he needs to coach with Spo for us to stand a chance

What's worse is him not utilizing his bench the entire year. Then throwing those guys in a closeout game in desperation. How the hell are they supposed to succeed when they've barely played all year? Worst coach to ever win a title in my opinion.
