Is Wade in any way entitled to get a certain amount of money from the Heat next season or will the contract be negotiated from zero? And was it a different situation before he opted out?
Cavs hosting Gordon Hayward...looks like Lebron wouldn't return their calls. If they pick up Hayward I think it's a good move. If the coach can get them to play together, Irving, Wiggins and Hayward is a tough matchup defensively. Let's see if Bennett comes in in shape and gets his game together.
He should make no more than 5 million, honestly. He won't be any better next season, and he's just eating up cap space for them. Danny Green outplayed him in the finals, and as a Spurs fan I admire Green for his work ethic and defensive effort, but if he's out playing D-Whistle, then that tells us all we need to know about where Wade is at in his career.
Wade is a moron for opting out of the contract...especially if Lebron goes elsewhere. No one will pay him close to what he would have made under the old deal.
I think Hayward is way overrrated. I think someone is going to pay him the max and really regret it. Yep, I wouldn't be shocked if in the next few weeks we see a headline along the lines of "Wade fires agent".
Lowry just re-signed w/ T-Dot for 4-years, $48 million. The Heat just can't get any more help it seems
Bosh is looking to sign a five-year deal worth between $80 million and $90 million while Wade is thinking along the lines of $55 million-60 million over four years, sources said. Damn, if that's true then Wade is really pushing Bron out of Miami. There's no way Riley would get a better team that last season with such a small cap space. Add to that the Max contract Bron is asking for and they'll have fuck all to spend.
Turns out that Manu and Mills were playing injured through the finals. Mills just signed a 3 year 12 million extension. That's a bargain compared to what Jarret Jack is earning.
There's a trade brewing involving Dragic to Indiana. Boston and Rondo might be involved. Boston should trade Rondo to let Smart develop. Having him come off the bench might not be the smartest idea. He's a 6th pick, not a late 2nd round pick.
No idea. The thing is still being negotiated. Says official who was part of meetings ESPN reported on: "There's clearly a breakdown in communication between LeBron and (Wade and Bosh)." Unless Pat Riley lines up talent appealing to James within cap structure soon, one LBJ suitor says: "LeBron seems ready to explore market."
If you thought Lebron was hated when he left Cleveland... Wait for the backlash IF he leaves Miami. :scared2:
It would be funny if Lebron just criss-crossed Bosh and Wade out of their contracts, to try and jettison them off the team.
Really? I dont think the backlash would be any thing comparable to Cleveland. I wouldnt begrudge him for leaving.
Better yet, why in the fuck would Phoenix wanna give up their top player, the gratist slowveeneean ov are times?
Apparently there's nothing going on, at least formally. The Pacers just asked Phoenix about Dragic but the Suns were not too interested and now the Pacers are asking the Celtics to see if they can agree to a three team deal. The only possible scenario I see here is Hibbert to Boston, Dragic to Pacers and Rondo to Phoenix. Hibbert was open to the idea of starting fresh in a new team, Danny wants to trade Rondo and go full rebuild since Love won't sign with them and also gets the defensive C he's been looking for. Phoenix gets Rondo, a pass-first veteran PG with championship experience to pair him with Bledsoe. Dragic and Bledsoe are redundant IMO. Dragic would take Indiana to another level.
I think it would be WORSE. He'd be seen as a ring chaser, especially if he tries to force a move to the Clippers.
Yeah they do it with THEIR team... Not bouncing team to team. Keep in mind, this is if Lebron bounces from Miami. He'll be seen as a no loyalty/integrity having CUNT.
There's rumors swirling around saying that Bosh decided he wants a max contract too and won't take less money to join Miami. Not sure how legit is it but Houston is ready to offer him Max contract if Melo decides to sign elsewhere.
When it comes to basketball, is: Is Shaq a no loyalty/integrity having CUNT? Is Drexler a no loyalty/integrity having CUNT? Is Barkley a no loyalty/integrity having CUNT? Is Chamberlain a no loyalty/integrity having CUNT? Is Kareem a no loyalty/integrity having CUNT? Is Garnett a no loyalty/integrity having CUNT? Is Karl Malone a no loyalty/integrity having CUNT? Is Gary Peyton a no loyalty/integrity having CUNT? is Oscar Robertson a no loyalty/integrity having CUNT? Is Steve Nash a no loyalty/integrity having CUNT? Is Vince Carter a no loyalty/integrity having CUNT? Is Tracy Mcgrady a no loyalty/integrity having CUNT? Is Ray Allen a no loyalty/integrity having CUNT? Is Chris Paul a no loyalty/integrity having CUNT? Is Carmelo Anthony a no loyalty/integrity having CUNT? You just dont like lebron james, so you apply a different standard to him. The point is, if you want to win, you put yourself in the best position to win. You think if Jordan didnt have scottie or Horrace Grant Or John Paxton and he had to carry that burden that he would have stayed in Chicago? Fuck no.

Chicago Bulls were built from the ground up. If Lebron ditches Miami, he's doing it because he can't handle the tough times coming up. Jordan didn't go join up with Barkley or Isaiah when times were tough in Chicago. He wanted to BEAT them. Say at what you want about Kobe, but he's stayed with the Lakers and is STUBBORNLY trying to win his 6th ring in LA. As for your list, I can't believe you mentioned Melo. He's a cunt to the nth degree and forced his way out of Denver and now is secretly hoping one of Bosh or Wade leaves so he could go to Miami to be with his boyfriend Lebron. Alotnof those others players you mentioned were old and past it before they switched teams.
dude you are delusional. It's about winning. When you are carrying a whole team, it's fucking hard. Do you realize The cavs when to the finals with Lebron james? When he left, where were they? Where are they? ONE MAN did this. The man needs consistent help.
presenting facts is not being pissed off. It's simply presenting facts. I find it hilarious the double standards people want to place on lebron James.
