Sure, we can be brothers as Phin fans. But, i've had to put up with quite a bit of s**t from some of the heat fans on this thread. Let's not act like it hasnt been alot of trash talking on here between myself and the regs on here.

It's okay bro. Let it out.

The guy lied to our organization. I know this for fact

Wonder if a Lebatard will have a rant.

Section?

Seems like the Miami media is taking in stride. Mikey tweeted he was shocked and dissapointed, but thankful to have had him. Not sure that lebron and his people didn't tell a few lies along the way or if he just had a huge change of heart. Home is where the heart is.

No, I have a few trustworthy sources of my own. Everyone is BEYOND shocked. Heat were never told he was seriously considering anywhere else.

Entire organization feels shocked. Stunned. Surprised. A lot of people were lied too.

Rich Paul wins

Lied to by who? I'd be kinda shocked if Lebron actually gave any guarantees and still walked away. I can imagine the organization feels like it just got groin punched though.

Huh? Not exactly but I can tell you that the company I work for works with Adidas/Heat/NBA and were told Lebron basically confitmed hos return ans to be ready for mass production of new merch.

Lets just bite the bullet until 2016

The disappointment stems from expectation that having won the chips he would retire in Miami and become lifetime family member. Basically he turned the Heat down and opted to finish up his career in Cleveland.

But, disregarding that expectation, we are left with the 4-year ride of the lifetime, and Miami is stil in Wade County, and Wade brouight him here for that ride. Can't be mad, only disappointed.

I'm only dissapointed that he left the keys to the kingdom with Ryan tannehill and Joe phildong.

This is why there was a chant going on btw. Because he lied, not because he left.

And now American Airlines can go back to being empty again with it overrated maxed out wade leading them for 5yrs.

Will Miami need to do an S&T? At least we'd get something out of it. Maybe we can do the same for Bosh if he leaves and have infinite picks and cash for 2016.

If LeBron signs anything that allows him an out in any form before 2017, then I'll know exactly what to think. He made the decision to go back to Cleveland just before a new TV deal and a great FA class. He could have gone back to Cleveland in two years with more money and more pieces. If he's in it long term, you have to respect that aspect of it. If the rumors about spiting the Heat are true, then unless he has a good story, he hasn't really grown up.

My feeling based on what I do know, admittedly nowhere near what Sec does, is that he was too scared to tell us face to face he was leaving anf played it off.

For real?! That soon?

extensive post coming up. I am drowning under calls.

I guess I lost my own show. Hope I keep the current one. LOL.

Unless Riley can pull something off. Of course.

i would be happy from a FO standpoint, you don't have to pay 42 million for 2 years, he is damaged goods and not worth that money, i hope for you guys miami is not making the same mistake as the lakers did with kobe

Again? The AA was one of the best attended arenas in the league BEFORE Lebron got here. If you want to troll at least get your crap together
