THE OFFICIAL MIAMI HEAT SUMMER of 2010 Thread.

From a Cleveland blog, quoting a source -

Also not out of the question is the fact that the Rose-Riley meeting was not solely about LeBron James. Rose’s agency was purchased by Creative Artists Agency (CAA), a firm that represents both Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. Though the two players are not directly linked to Rose, there is an underlying interest in players whom are represented by his agency. Given that Wade and Bosh were targets of a Riley meeting that occurred earlier in the day, the late-night meeting between Rose and the Heat representative could have also included a simple follow-up on the happenings in Chicago.

 

I bet it was mostly about LeBron though

 

If only we had some idea of what was going on at that meeting.

Anything longer than 2 hours is a good sign. Why? Because I say so.

Says official in LeBron chase: "If D-Wade wants to make this big play happen in Miami, he needs to stop taking meetings and commit to Heat."

Get him on the damn phone Pat!!!!!

By the way, according to Knicks RealGM Board, either Wade never showed for his meeting with Knicks or it was unexpectedly pushed back

 

Get a ****ing suit & tie LeBron. Jesus Christ.

Riles & Coach Spo all smiles while walking into the meeting! 69 minutes and counting....

 

Only person in life that I hate more than Dunga right now is Bucher.

God this guy is an idiot. He has no sources within the Miami Heat organization. Why does he continue to lie about what's going on when he clearly doesn't have a clue? This buffoon actually reported that Miami may be reluctant to give Chris Bosh the max because he's filming a documentary on this free agency stuff.

This isn't a "stiff" organization. Micky & Riles are actually pretty fun guys. No way in hell.

What I'm really hoping for is him to report something false about Amare Stoudemire or something, because I know Amare is the one guy that would put him on blast and expose his ***. Ric Bucher.... You're annoying. Nobody listens to you. Nobody takes you seriously. Nobody likes you. Nobody cares about anything you have to say. NOBODY would attend your funeral. You have no sources. You have no life. You probably have no friends. You have a career that you're not good at.

 

He'd of signed on the spot. Bucher is a douche.

TMZ > ESPN. (save Shefter & Hollinger)

And that is a genuine belief. Their word means more to me.

 

..........

 

Thanks Sec.

So, are we Bosh or bust at this point?

 

It's tough not to worry. The way this nonsense has taken over my life is frightening.

 

I like Bosh already. His newest tweet is aimed at Bucher.

 

I'm still hoping for Wade/Lebron/Bosh, but if we lock up Wade/Bosh (or Amare), I won't complain. I actually think Wade/Bosh/Miller would be a very strong trio. Maybe not enough to unseat the Lakers (unless Beasley or someone else develops), but it should be enough to win the east.

The team I'm rooting against more than any other is Chicago. I never disliked them before and I'm a big Rose/Noah fan, but the constant pimping by ESPN and the apparent lack of rationality by their fan base has turned me against them. Usually I just root against NY out of habit but Chicago is the team I want to be shut out in FA.

 

100% agree. I never cared one way or another about the bulls but now I cannot stand them.

 

What did he tweet?

 

Gracias, because I'm not hearing a whistle.

That Memphis/DW1 tid bit is interesting. Whenever he's been on the trade block throughout his career (a lot) they have ALWAYS been the first team to call.

 

Now wait a minute, Bucher is the guy that broke the story about how Kobe Bryant would NEVER wear a Lakers uniform again. His sources were so tight that he bet his career on it...

 

*****!

 

We're at approximately 2 hrs 15 mins now, which i believe would be the longest meeting thus far.

As long as the words "front runner tremendous" don't leave Riley's mouth I'll feel good.

 

TrueHoop: RT @PDcavsinsider: 2+ hours in, Heat still meeting with LeBron.

Keep him in that room Riley. Make him blow off the freaking Clippers!

 

slowed down a bit........lets see what fake pat riley is saying....

and this beauty....

 

I'll never forget Dwyane Wade talking about the plane ride home from Dallas in June 06.... "Alonzo Mourning talked the entire flight. He just wouldn't shut up."

I'd imagine he's telling LeBron about those Heat/Knicks battles and showing some of his war wounds right about now.

Almost three hours in and it wouldn't surprise me if Riley hasn't even been given the floor to speak yet.

 

Nobody told me the pic made it on TMZ with their patent "breaking news" tag.

 

If Stephen A. Smith isn't there we have no shot.

SAS > World Wide Wes

 

Realize this isn't much, but thought I'd share -

 

Mike Miller & Brendan Haywood updates:

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=AqBzvguDtHCpfJ64czKTAGW8vLYF?slug=ys-freeagentbuzz070210

 

Wade + Bosh + Haywood + Miller + Vets (this scenario keeps Beasley, which I'm personally leaning toward)

If LBJ decides not to win a championship any time soon.... Do it, Riles!

 

That's three hours folks, and LBJ's longest meeting yet by far....

Shut up Dwyane! Oh why don't you tell LeBron how intriguing New York is. Meh, I know he's being politically correct but still.

 

PDcavsinsider

Heat had no comment, meeting lasted nearly 3 hours with lunch. They were in building for nearly 4 hours.

Most important part...."no comment"

Unlike the doofuses from NY and NJ
