Fact: Riley threw another voodoo party-------AND NO ONE CAME. No one except one guy that nobody wanted anyway, and some other role player. EVERYONE ELSE PASSED. You want facts? Those are facts. In 2010 they all but knocked the doors down. They had to be turned away. In 2012, they came for the minimum. for a healthy, productive big three. 2o14? Not so much. Um, thanks, Pat, but Ima see what happens with this whole breakdown y'all had this season, including the health of the guy on your team who was the architect of this concept. Fact: They didn't come. Not at ANY PRICE. What's changed, I wonder?
This is the funniest part. If LeBron leaves, suddenly 1/3 of that Big 3 cap space is available. Hold it for 2016, or convince the still-Knickless Melo to take it. Even if you just have Wade/Bosh as your Big 2, that's no worse than the 3 Seed in the East. Conference finals are practically a guarantee.
Who is noone? Deng cost too much, stated from the start he wouldn't consider a salary cut anywhere and Pau wants to finish his career in familiar surrounding. Who is this noone you speak of?
Yeah I mean even if the Heat lose LeBron, if they keep hold of Bosh and Wade they're still in the playoffs. They're not certain to get into the Finals of course, but still competing.
I am. We just disagree, which is fine. I'm reading the facts in a different way than you are. You think guys will be banging down the door to play with an even more injured Kyrie Irving as the #2 option?
Yes. By all means. Because, why the hell would they have wanted to play with that LeBron guy, when they could spend this season wondering if Wade could ever work his way back to elevating the thickness of a quarter off the floor on his shots? Yes, that's the hometown logic we want and need here.
I should've changed my bio and then tweeted the following right at 3:30pm "BREAKING NEWS: LeBron James announces through representatives that he has reached a two-year agreement to remain a member of the Miami Heat. #LeBronJames" I think having 6600 twitter followers is a wide enough base that it could have been retweeted 100,000+ times.
Seriously I have no problem with you, so if you dislike my posts that much just put me on ignore. Seriously.
@EthanJSkolnick 27m If the announcement comes at 7:86 p.m., you know LeBron's trying to time it to the Heat's area code.
It was one of the most efficient for a SG ever so yes. Also it was the Heat who decided to sit him out games, he's said many times he could have played in them.
Wow....I feel bad for you. Theres a storm coming, and when it hits your gonna wonder how you and all your friends could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk
Absolutely. And it was SUCH a rousing success, it's being spoken of at the highest levels as a blueprint for future seasons which end 1-4 in the finals and no one can buy a shot.
Its basketball, it won't affect my life in any way regardless of what happens. Its an entertaining pass time.
Wait, 5Dimes has lines up??? WHYYYY don't I have a 5Dimes account???? Supposedly Chris Bosh's line on signing with the Rockets went from -600 to -320 in the last 10 minutes.
Its Wades fault everyone missed shots now? I honestly don't know where you're going with this anymore. Just agree to disagree and stop attacking my posts.
You have spent tne past 96 hours in this thread....it affects your life. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk
Over Under on how long it takes Obama to release a statement after Lebron announces where he is going?
That's my point...how am I hating?? Im simply expressing how this is gonna play out. Im a Bron fan no matter what happens, people in Ohio are very loyal...that's why they took it so personally when he left. Im happy for the suffering souls of Cleveland that a championship is finally in their future. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

Per Amick: Cavs have not been notified as to what LBJ has decides and they have no idea when an announcement is coming
Riley put together a plan...a total master plan to land the big three. All four seasons the team gets to the finals. Gilbert has an..."Oh yeh moment over the last week...and finally takes his drunk induced rant about Lebron. Seriously???
Lebby just got a "whispered text": A photo of Bill Simmons crying on draft night re: Napier When he says "whispered text", it comes from Riley or someone near that level in the Heat org.
Nahhh...youve been pushing the buttons. Just remember we are all here cuz we love the same football team.
