Wait, I thought Lebron was a free agent and could've signed with whomever he wished?

He was...Cleveland agreed to the S&T because they really had not choice since he was going to MIA anyway. They got a couple of picks a Bron got a couple more million.

This.


Wade just came off the most efficient season of his career. He was healthy all season long, and wasn't injured till the end of the season. His injuries were just a matter of bad timing.

As for rest, I do believe they will do the same things with their veterans that Pop has done with the Spurs.

Id love to see Allen come back, but IMO getting the Birdman to come back is more of a priority. He defends, he rebounds, he blocks shots....any offense he can give you is icing on the cake. Championship teams need gritty glue guys like him.

Yup. Why would he change anything? 3 finals, 2 titles. No other team in the league is even close when you compare post season wins the past 3 years.

I scratched my head when I heard heat fans says sh1t like, "trade Bosh!"
:comeon: Riley wouldn't be so over reactionary. Dude is a boss, not an overanxious dumbass fan.

Maybe you skipped this part

Riley I like our team. We don't like change. There are times that it's necessary to change, but we don't feel like it's necessary.
” -- Pat Riley, Heat team president

Would he have changed his mind if the Heat lost Game 6 or Game 7 to the San Antonio Spurs? When asked that question, Riley contemplated for several seconds before delivering his answer.

"Probably," Riley said. "The whole set of dynamics would have been an absolute negative flood of energy. But it didn't happen. Would we have approached it differently? We probably would have been thinking differently. But I don't even want to think about that."

Had they lost, somebody would have been made the scapegoat. There's a good reason to believe that would've been Bosh.

Riley wants to stand pat huh?

:patrice:

McGraw: LaMarcus Aldridge Wants To "Escape" Blazers And Play For Bulls - Blazer's Edge

Word is, Aldridge wants to escape from Portland's rebuilding project and has made it known that he'd like to land in Chicago.

Deng for Aldridge won't get it done. The Blazers want Joakim Noah in return and the Bulls don't want to give up the superior defensive big man.

Here's one way to get Portland's attention: Offer Deng and Charlotte's future No. 1 pick. The Bulls are counting on that Bobcats' pick (acquired for Thomas, ironically), to pay off big, because it's unprotected in 2016.

Bulls still need a SG

Rose
???
Butler
Aldridge
Noah

I assume they amnesty Boozer with Gibson and another big off the bench. Captain Kirk running the 2nd unit.

Very interesting.

If the heat bring back the same team they arent making it out the east.

Aside from lebron, everyone on the heat is getting worse, while bulls and pacers will be 10x better

This could be a key to what the bulls were waiting for. If I were them I would send the 1 round 28th Charlotte pick, Nikola Mirotic, and Deng for LaMarcus Aldridge. They can probably find a suitor for Boozer later on if that deal go through to pick up a decent two.
