    Someone else, then. Anyone else, in fact. Make sure Lebron plays the next couple years knowing he's making less than Wade and Bosh.

    Would you point these things out to a Heat fan who is carrying on arrogantly that we were all stupid to believe he might go?? Because I haven't seen a single 1 of those posts quoted. To be fair.

    Part of me wants to pull out a razor-sharp scimitar and open some of you up crotch to throat; in a figurative fashion, of course. No one would blame me, and some of you certainly deserve it for the hard time you gave me while talking up this "honor pact" and "loyalty."

    There is no honor in business. There CAN BE; there's certainly no law against it. And it would be a nicer world if everyone matriculated in that way in their business lives.

    But let this serve as the death knell of any beliefs in blood oaths among adults making millions of dollars. In a way, it's the end of our childhood as Heat fans, just as LeBron gives in to his most childish impulses in both his method and destination.

    Woj is saying Bosh is discussing financial parameters with houston so who knows.

    If Bosh leaves, I think the only real play that makes any sense is to give Wade and UD their contracts back, let McRoberts and Granger go if they want to (though I wouldn't mind keeping McRoberts), sign guys to 1 or 2 year deals and see what happens.

    You don't have to put all your eggs in 2016 draft either. Marc Gasol and Aldridge (and Kevin Love depending on what happens) are all free agents next year. Grab one, then you look a lot better in 2016.

    Not seeing anything from WOJ on the crafting of the letter.

    I read a piece on SI that described it though and I didn't see anything sinister.

    Yes, I've chatted with Alex....it has nothing to do with fandom... In Miami dolphin threads, in the gml, in my opinion, you sound like a jerk. Which Im entitled to have and youre entitled to disagree with. I'm no trying to argue, fight or make an enemy. You may be the nicest guy in the world, but the internet tone doesn't help you.

    it will "only" count with 8.3 mil against the lakers cap though, but still this is a bad deal for LA we should have raped houston, they needed to get rid of lin to make bosh work, LA will benefit with a chinese player now on the team, but they already made 100 million profit last year, its time to show the results on the court again....do it mitch.....!!!

    No doubt, Lin will pay for himself. Houston was the 2nd most profitable team last year with the help of Lin's asian fans.

    I can't wait for the Laker fans to meet the Lin fans. It is an experience like no other. You would have to be on rockets fan forums to know what i mean. I am so glad i don't have to deal with them anymore. They talk like Lin is the next MJ and he is never at fault for anything. It's hilarious.

    Attacked you ?........ "Yep its all in everyones head" Is a direct ATTACK on you? Someone's grasping. Nice double quote, too.

    I didn't miss Boiks post at all. Hence why all i said was the 6 words you quoted.

    You sure are acting like a boyscout now that you've been called out by someone reputable.

    As much as I'd love reading about how Dan Gilbert is lying and contradicting himself, MUCH of what is written in that CBS article is not a contradiction.

    In the Q&A he made it clear he'd re-word a lot of it and he regrets the wording, but that he did feel A letter needed to be written to the fans.

    That's really not different from what he's saying now.

    However...that said...the part where he talks about the binders of letters from Cleveland people? Straight up contradiction. In the Woj piece he made it seem as if all those people were writing him nasty things because of his letter and that's one of the reasons he regrets it. But in that Q&A he said it was all fellow Cleveland people that also felt spurned. Big difference. BS alert.

    I'm not everyone's cup of tea, nor do I try to be. Fortunately Muck and crew were nice enough to have created an IGNORE function for "jerks" like me. If your so inclined??? My feelings won't be hurt.

    Now that this Fin-O intervention is over, I'd like to get back on the topic of Durant to the Knicks in 2016.

    But yeah...you were a little dickish and pulled the feathers off a wounded chicken.

    It's all good with me though. I love this franchise and our "microwave dynasty" as Riley called it FOUR YEARS AGO...is fine with me. (Riley said there were many microwave dynasties..but he wanted a real one...)

    well we joined the SHAQ/Kobe Lakers...Bad Boys..etc...

    By the way I think the Wade signing has more to do with their negotiations with other players. The Heat desperately need credibility at the moment or else they're not getting anywhere with any of the players they're talking to. They need to show people they're still the Heat not some bottom-feeder.

    I hope you guys do well. No matter our Harden/Wade shouting matches.

    I like to see our members have joy from their sports teams.

    Cleveland can go **** themselves. I never forgave them wildly cheering when Marino tore his Achilles.
