THE OFFICIAL MIAMI HEAT SUMMER of 2010 Thread.

Is it possible that we can get Bosh, JJ and David Lee?

Lee wouldnt be worth a max deal though.

 

What I love most about the idea of James and Bosh in Miami is how its exposing how biased the sports media truly is. The media accepted and promoted the "Chicago is the best destination" nonsense for far too long and with such voracity that now they can't backtrack, they WON'T backtrack.

 

My source tells me James will NOT be in Miami...

 

Interesting... LeBron is hosting all these teams on Thursday, yet Miami and Chicago are meeting with him on Friday.

 

"Are you giving away the secrets to my success, Mr. Section??"

 

What I can't believe...well I can given today's moronic NBA management as a whole..is that Pat Riley, having done these kind of wheeling and dealing as he's known for, continues to get away with raping teams time and time again. It's amazing Riley can still do this in this day and age. You'd think teams would be smarter...but then again Pau Gasol got traded for Kwame Brown.

 

He's the Kobe of GM'ing

 

Except he gets the ring afterwards too.


SHAZAM

 

Excuse me??

 

I sincerely apologize.

Rings

 

IF he pulls this off, they'll be rings-o-plenty.

Saw this on twitter just now:

 

Interesting...

 

It's not about the casual fan, it's about the TV ratings and ticket revenue. A Milwaukee Bucks Finals game would generate as much ticket revenue as a Knicks preseason game.

 

Haha Schefter's pulling double duty huh

 

Pretty easy to recruit Amare/Boozer. The pitch consists of "sign here please" and that's that.

More Bucher hate on ESPN. Thinks Bosh may stay in Toronto.

 

Schefter has more credibility reporting on a sport he doesn't cover than bucher/broussard, etc

 

Couldn't agree more

 

Got any new nuggets for us?

 

Little more than an hour.... ready for 12:01 baby

 

Woj still reporting that Heat are very much alive
for LBJ despite his tweet that Wade is focusing on big man first.

Of course that hasn't stopped the Chicago fans from declaring victory on RealGM

Brain Shaw withdraws from consideration for Cavs coaching job, says no guarantee on LeBron led to his decision.

 

Stringer, who do you think causes jumps in TV ratings? Casual fans. If people who only follow the NBA in passing see "Wade/Bosh/LeBron vs Kobe-led Lakers," they are going to watch it. Period.

 

True, however keep in mind NYC is the largest NBA market with the largest megaphone to create casual fans and the Knicks being a lukewarm franchise.

A Knicks game can reach millions of more TV's than the Bucks could ever hope to reach.

 

Good thing the only relation the Bucks have to this topic is an attempt at creating a strawman. We're talking about the Miami Heat here.

I don't think so. It's not like Knicks have been on tv more than the Cavs the last few years. In a star driven league, it's about the stars. ESPN will show whatever team he plays on as much as possible.
