    Meanwhile we have like four players on the roster and an unhappy star. Calm down people.

    I do agree that I would have been embarrassed as a Heat fan if they'd brought in Marino.

    That's one person. Calm down bruh. You constantly insult the entire fan base then play the victim. This is why I asked if you have friends to talk to. No one should be this committed to trying to be a dick online.

    meh i dont get the kd hate he joined the only team that made sense why leave a top 5 player unless you're joining another one. I do wonder if westbrook is trade bait now too bad we really wouldnt have anything to offer.

    Regarding Durant, i think he had LeBron in mind when signing with GSW. LeBron has owned him for years and his best (easiest) route to beating LeBron was in GSW. It was far from a guarantee in Mia, OKC, Bos. It was a close call with LAC and SA, but its a guarantee in GSW that he gets over that hump.

    Btw, has any team done so little with so much as Boston has this offseason? Cap space and picks and all they end up with is Al Horford.

    Lol, this is babby level trolling. I've already said that people should chill out over this KD thing. At least Fin-O tries to tailor make his trolling to the individual. You just come up with the same boring cookie cutter trolling.

    2/10, show more effort.

    Lol I know right. They have to be so butthurt right now. Boston was feeling themselves the past couple.of days and had high confidence they were gonna lock down KD.

    They added an all star caliber player to their team, their offseason has been positive so far. I hate Boston but they are a better team after getting Horford. They didn't have any big losses and they still have some room I believe so their offseason has been a net win.

    I would think so. I don't believe Lebron would have ever won any rings if he'd stayed in Cleveland the whole time. He needed to learn to win. And even then I believe Cleveland was lucky to win this year. Durant probably figured out that "competitive balance" doesn't mean crap in the long run. A smart player maximizes his potential.

    But they wanted Whiteside first, and guess who got him? Boston has to "settle" with players nowadays and I love it. **** Boston.

    They certainly seemed to waste a ton of resources. Horford is a very good player, one of my favs, but with the cap space and a bevy of picks you'd think they would have netted more than one very good player.

    I've said before and I'll say it again, Ainge can't catch big fish in an open market. He has to trade for them. Horford is hardly a top 20 player.. He's probably somewhere around 30.


    Honestly I would have preferred to see Durant in Boston. Durant joining an already 73 win team that was title favorites next year without him is just absurd. lol

    Not coincidental that Duncan is suddenly strongly leaning towards retirement after Durant's decision. I honestly thought Spurs would have grabbed one of either Conley or Durant.

    As a Spurs fan I'll let the suggestion that Durant going to the Dubs has Duncan throwing in the towel. He's been looking at retiring for a while. I honestly don't believe the Durant move had anything to do with it.

    "Grabbed"...?

    They made a play for Durant, he preferred the Warriors.

    As for Conley, I think the Spurs are more concerned on replacing Duncan, getting a big, than a guard - they've gone for a guard youth movement recently, in the draft, and other moves. So lots of young guard talent that they'll try out while Parker still has a little life left in him.

    This move will expedite the "Super Team" of Bron/Wade/Melo/Paul to next season.

    The move is kind of strange imo, he won't receive a great deal of credit if they win the title next season and he will look silly if they lose.

    Different strokes for different folks I guess.

    Obviously I wish he came to Miami but this will be interesting for sure. LeBron must be relieved to have won this year.

    Honestly, unless you're in Cleveland, the next few years aren't about titles realistically. Need to find other things to enjoy.

    For us, enjoy the last of Wade, the continued development of Hassan, Winslow and J-Rich and seeing if Pat can put something together

    GSW obviously will be the overwhelming favorites but I can never discount Pat pulling off some miraculous trade making us competitive. Not record-setting like GSW was, but who knows. I guess for now the objective should be to have a team designed to beat Cleveland and hope GSW is off their game should you meet them in the finals.

    I'm not as doom and gloom as some here. I see a healthy Heat team as a very tough match-up for the Cavs. In the finals anything can happen. We just saw Cleveland get lucky against a better team this season.
