Wade, Bosh & Haslem all OPT OUT

[CodeBlaMeVi]

Ironic when we celebrate college teams like Alabama and Florida State, my favorite, snatch up the best players. Let me guess. It is different and it is but in spirit to make a better team, it is all game.

Thing is people want the Heat to purposely handicap themselves. FOH!

Deranged and raging over an opt out...you nikkas hilarious...

Of course they were gonna opt-out; it only makes them FAs. The hard part is agreeing to a contract. The only question mark was Wade. Now that he's opted out, he's gonna take less to stay in Miami.

I wish people would stop saying "guaranteed money". It's the NBA; all of the contracts are guaranteed. It seems like they have been wording the contracts differently since last CBA, but in the past they rarely ever counted the "PO/TO" year. Another thing is that ish like this really pisses off the PA and the vets. You are eliminating all of the vets bargaining power, and making it harder for the non-5 superstars to really get put in good contractual situations. The PA are not happy about this, guaranteed. Neither will the other small market teams.

Now lets look at this realistically...Haslem signs for 3M, that leaves 52 for the other 3 which is 17 per. If they go for an average of 14M, you really think their help wants 10M? And what about the rest of the roster?

 

[ROFL_GUY]

soon it will all make sens

 

[thaKEAF]

Can you go over the cap to sign a FA and then afterwards re-sign your FAs since you have bird rights?

 

[Pimp]

These n!ggaz are dumb. I hope they never win another championship.

 

[beenz]

anyways so the heat have $55M in cap room. that ain't enough to sign the big three plus melo unless they think melo bout to take around a 50% paycut

cats are gonna have to sign for the vet's minimum I guess to fill the rest of the roster. but them all opting out ain't doing nothing but helping the owner avoid the tax. I don't mathematically see a way for them to add a significant piece to this roster.

We need to eliminate the salary cap so that Bron can get the all-star at every position help he deserves. How come the NBA don't want Bron to prosper man???

A paltry 2 stars to run with???

paltry 2 all stars????

lebron been playing with 3 other hall of famers the past three years. they better than all stars.

From what I've gathered about super teams...

It's "ok" if the team assembles them. It's "not ok" if the players decide to team up. Even though the end result is the same.

 

[Dwight Howard]

might be a good basketball decision but an AWFUL business move on Wade's part

I'm all for no salary cap. Not because of wanting LeBron to have better teammates but in general I don't like the idea of players having to take paycuts so in the end they can make billionaire owners more money and MAYBE get a gold ring in return as if it makes up for the millions they lost.

Coaches & GM's never have to take paycuts because they don't have a salary cap. Players don't get that same respect. And watch when the next CBA discussions come up, these same cac billionaire owners will try to get even more salary cap limitations added.

Damn this shyt got y'all frantic as funk. Everybody just:DonRiley:

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

why Bosh would opt out and take a pay cut idk. Another team would give him the max right now. fukk winning, he's already got two rings. More money nikka.
