paul carruthers Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Well, this is the breaking news on ESPN right now: http://espn.go.com/nba/truehoop/miamiheat/story/_/id/11127329/lebron-james-opt-contract-miami-heat Of course, this doesn't necessarily mean the end of Lebron in Miami & hopefully the Heat will re-tool and pick up the necessary pieces on their roster to entice Lebron to stay & maybe win a few more titles. And feel free to bring up anything else that pertains to the upcoming season... Quote

And feel free to bring up anything else that pertains to the upcoming season... I have heard so many reports. Some have him going to Chicago and the analyst you may have caught on ESPN yesterday says if he goes to Houston look out. Him with Dwight and Harden? But the other guy thinks it would hurt them because Harden and him are too similiar. I am not buying that crap. Houston would be an instant contender, not that they are not anyway. And the Clippers even came up. But that would mean goodbye to either CP or Blake wouldn't it? Quote
paul carruthers Posted June 24, 2014 Author Posted June 24, 2014 Houston Rockets are paper tigers to me. Every year they are supposed to contend & every year they do very little. Lebron going there doesn't seem likely to me. I'll probably be sweating until July 1--I think that's when James becomes an unrestricted free agent.... Quote

Walter Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 IF he stays in Miami, he will get a lot more $ which will make it more difficult to get some talented support players around him. I think Cleveland is looking better and better for him, talented youth, the #1 pick, and more cap space. We shall see. Rick, I don't see him and 'Melo coming together - LeBron wants to keep winning.

Carmello is a good player. Are you saying he is not? He is far better than Bosh Quote
Walter Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 He's good, statistically speaking. But he's selfish and doesn't play very good defense. Remember I love the guy for what he did for the 'cuse. But as a pro, he puts up big scoring numbers for teams that go nowhere and he ends up coming off as a bad locker room guy, IMO. Quote

paul carruthers Posted June 25, 2014 Author Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Carmelo is better than Bosh at putting up stats, but last I checked--Bosh has 2 rings to Melo's 0. I'm not sure what exactly Miami needs in the way of roster pieces to add to the team, but they definitely won't win another championship constituted as is... but this might all be a moot point if Lebron flies the coop....

That argument means nothing. Doug Williams has a ring and Jim Kelly and Dan Marino do not. So what are you saying? Quote
paul carruthers Posted June 25, 2014 Author Posted June 25, 2014 What I'm saying is that Bosh is a better "team" guy. He's not worried so much about putting up numbers, as long as the team is winning. Quote

Walter Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Interesting draft tonight...I see your Heat just traded to get UConn point guard Napier. Good pick up. Quote
LedZeppfan77 Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 BREAKING NEWS ON CBS BOSH AND WADE HAVE OPTED OUT OF THEIR CONTRACTS BECOMING FREE AGENTS. IT APPEARS THE MIAMI HEAT ARE DISMANTLING Quote
paul carruthers Posted June 28, 2014 Author Posted June 28, 2014 The Heat Empire appears to be dismantling... but I won't stress too much about it. After all, this just means D-Wade and Bosh will test the free agent waters--no guarantee they will actually sign with someone.... Quote
the chase Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) BREAKING NEWS ON CBS BOSH AND WADE HAVE OPTED OUT OF THEIR CONTRACTS BECOMING FREE AGENTS. IT APPEARS THE MIAMI HEAT ARE DISMANTLING Wade disappeared in the Finals after that blatant Flop he was fined $5000 for after Game 2.. He's reason #1 I would route for any team over the Heat. (Pat Riley being a close 2nd) Dwayne Wade is a dirty player.. He's the reason Rajon Rhondo hyper-extended and dislocated his elbow with that wrestling take down he pulled. I have no problem with Bosh or James.. Even though I think Bosh is overrated. Lebron James says some stupid shit, but he is the best in the game right now.. I was so glad to see a TEAM like The Spurs dismantle The Heat.. But 4 straight trips to the NBA Finals is something to be proud of.. I'm curious to see what happens with them this off season.

LedZeppfan77 Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 My local news guy said it may increase the chance of all 3 returning to Miami if they are willing to take pay cuts? What is he smoking? I never pretended to understand the business of pro sports post 1970 but that makes no sense to me. It has them scattering like ants written all over it. Lebron with Melo, Wade? Who knows where? Maybe the Bulls pick up one? Maybe Cleveland and never count out the Lakers. But with Phil Jackson in NY, something is bound to unfold there. Maybe we should have a contest on who goes where. Quote
LedZeppfan77 Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Pat Riley is not going to take any shit from Lebron today. I expect this to be a firey meeting. Quote
LedZeppfan77 Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Looks like Carmello is staying with the Knicks. And how did they persuade him? Is someone else coming in? I must go see Quote
LedZeppfan77 Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 5 years and 129 Million will do the trick every time. Unreal . Quote
LedZeppfan77 Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 What a horrid game. They have to spread the field and go to the right side of the /ARgentine defense. Or Argentina is going to suck out on a corner. Netherlands must attack. Quote

Or Argentina is going to suck out on a corner. Netherlands must attack. Thinking about soccer Rick? Carmelo staying with the Knickerbockers & they will still probably miss the playoffs or squeak in and get bounced in the 1st round. Quote
Walter Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Like I said before Carmelo is all about Carmelo. He had no interest in going anywhere to take less money and have a better shot at winning. He just wanted his ego stroked, receive his fat contract, and remain in NY. Like you said Paul, he'll maybe make the first round and then lose - but he'll average 27 points and take none of the blame for losing - again. Quote

Anyway, Phil Jackson is not there for nothing,. He is going to try and land some help. Quote
