we traded for Nate Robinson...and Brooks never played him except in blowouts and the one game against the Mavs in the WCF when Barea was working us(:sadcam:) and Brooks decided to match small man with small man:mjlol: even the commentators couldnt hold back their laughter.

Debatable. Right now OKC is better than Miami, Russy is better than Wade, KD is about as good as Lebron, Ibaka is better than Bosh. Where are the free agents willing to take less to win a championship?


nah.

the thunder are still the heat's mini-mes.

Clay Bennett is the perfect example of the type of owners players hate. Bought a team on the route to being good, refuses to break the bank even with a top 3 player, lied to move the team, is bankrolling all that profit.

Players are more observant than folks give them credit for.

They win right? Why don't anyone ever take less to play with 2 top 15 players?

Cap space doesn't stop Miami from getting guys to take less to sign.

Ray Allen took less to go to Miami because he said it was all about winning. Why don't ppl do the same for OKC?

it's miami... they fresh off the finals when they got ray... fresh off 4 trips to the finals now.. in a weak conference.. with lebron james, d wade and bosh.. ray... they have a 5 time champ and hall of famer in pat riley upstairs.. the owner is willing to spend money.. they get to live in motherfukking miami... and florida has no state tax, so they actually KEEP more money


meanwhile in okc.. these nikkas haven't been to the finals in 4 years... and that was when they got beat up by the heat... they don't even look like they want to play together.. the wouldn't pay any money for harden.. they are based in fukking oklahoma.. and who knows what's gonna happen in the future

take melo... pretend he was offered a max at both places (ignore numbers)... you really think he'd have a better chance of winning a ring with okc, than with miami's roster?? you think his lifestyle would be better in okc?? and getting the same money in both places, with no taxes, he'd still be richer in florida
