I don't remember the specifics on how Miami got Dragic, but

Dragic
Wade
Bron
Bosh
Whiteside

:wow:
That 2016 team was a game away from reaching the Conference finals with no Chris Bosh and an injured Whiteside only a year after Bron left. Wade was averaging around 25 for those playoffs. Imagine if Bron was on that team. That might've been the best supporting cast LeBron has ever had.

:wow:

Miami plan to keep Bron was Loul Deng Josh McRoberts & Shabazz Napier. Their fault.
this isn't true at all. Riley was texting lebron during that time trying to ask him about certain players, lebron wouldn't respond to him. Pau Gasol would have come to miami that offseason if lebron had stayed. pau even said lebron wouldn't tell him that he was staying in miami.

the mcroberts and granger signings came at the last minute(day or so) before lebron announced he was going back to cleveland. deng was signed with some of the cap space left when lebron left.

either way, winning that title in cleveland in 2016 made it all worth it for him anyway. he became telfon

This. I don't know why folks keep perpetuating the lie that Riley wasn't actively trying to upgrade the roster for LBJ. LBJ and Maverick were halfway out the door already before the season was over. Riley was actively trying to gauge the team needs while trying to touch base with LeBron. LeBron escaped that situation in Miami with no dirt on him, while Pat looked like the incompotent villain who couldn't get LeBron help.

Crazy...

He more or less deliberately sabotaged the heat on the way out. Between that and Stan Van Gundy blowing up the free agent making with that horrible deal he gave Jodie Meeks, there really wasn’t any means to make dramatic improvements to the team.

And this is why Heat fans like myself were somewhat bitter. The media spin and the narrative spin had me feeling a certain way. They acted like the Heat organization wasn't trying to so anything. Andy Elisburg was putting in work.

:wow:
That lineup would have been so dope if Wade/Bosh were healthy. But Wade was already looking like he was on a pretty serious decline, and Lebron couldn't have had any idea that Miami would land Dragic and Whiteside after they had FOUR YEARS and still hadn't done what was necessary to get a point guard or center on that team.
