I agree they will be fine and the smart move would to keep Wade and LBJ and let Bosh walk. Sign some player to support those 2. If they sign the big 3 again they won't have the Depth they have now. They have to pick between the big 3 or Depth and good role players.

I disagree here because most of Miami role players are signing for damn near nothing and I don't see that changing as long as Lebron is here. Guys want to win titles so if they can sign a 2 year deal with Miami and compete and possible win a title they will do it and sign elsewhere after. Outside of UD/Chalmers, basically all of Miami role players are getting nothing. I wouldn't mind seeing Bosh walk if we are able to get a better post player to replace him

Of course the West is better. You said it was a weak NBA and I simply disagreed. I think this era actually has better players than the Bull's era. Not the 80s of the Lakers and Celtics but definitely more star power than the competition the Bulls had to play.

LOL u do know 5 HOFs are from the same draft class as Jordan. That is 1 class. Ok Im done talking to you. This might be the dumbest statement I ever heard on these boards. This is my last post responding to you after this statement. U have no clue about basketball.

Im not saying this article is everything but maybe u don't know about 90s basketball or u forgot. So I hope this helps u.

The best were the 90's and 80's. This has been the argument for a long time.

Bosh is critical to the Heat and the offense we run. Not sure why folks and our fans don't see that. I do agree that we will get nice players for cents on the dollar and the Heat will only go after Heat guys. Oden and Cole and I could have sworn UD are under contract for next year...(Oden at his option) and that is it. We have tremendous flexibility in terms of where we might go. I think the Big 3 all opt in next year and Mr. Micky Arison pays a big tax and then some very interesting things happen the following year. With the East the way it is, the Heat will contend for the next couple of years for sure. Don't underestimate the financial flexibility that the Heat might have.

Yes I agree they will always land someone to play with LBJ but they need to cut salary because if they keep the big 3 and pay these role players they will have pay 2-3 times what their salary as a team is. Taxes are going to be high for them. I mean lets be honest. mario and cole are going to get ok contracts. they will at least lose 1 of them maybe both. Allen will retire. Who knows someone might pay Birdman.

It will be interesting to see what happens. Overall heat will be ok no matter what but they will finally be at everyone else's level.

It is entirely safe to state that the Heat players are buying into Pat Riley's tune of sacrificng the really big bucks for a chance to play for and obtain a championship in successive years. I have no doubt FAs including Bosh will return to the Heat and ya never know, Pat Riley could lure Pau Gasol, who is now a FA, to take Oden's roster spot who Riley will find a way to gently let go.

Eric Spoelstra is also one helluva a coach, who Riley personally groomed and has earned his place on par with the likes of Popovich and other great coaches of the present and past eras. If Riley signs Gasol the Heat could easily contend for another championship run.

So if you know that you can't even count on rose.. Bring in ball hog melo...how are you guys going to be the best in the east next year?:scratch:

If Rose stays healthy I will feel confident that Bulls will be fine if they sign Melo. What the Bulls have missed the last couple of year is another scorer. U add another scorer with Rose and the D they play the sky is the limit. Yes we wouldn't be able to add depth but their starting 5 will be strong and in the playoffs your starters play most of the game.

I hope spurs end it tonight so both teams get a good rest. I just hope the Finals are better then what these playoffs have been and the bad conference finals. Blow out city on the west and 2 good games in the East.

Good luck Maimi fans.(the real Miami fans) Take it in because time might be running out.

Also good luck to SA and OKC fans.

Whatever...You pull that trash to compare eras. The Bulls did not have another dominant team to play against. The 80s featured two great organizations with all stars that are all time greats at their position along with an interesting Piston team down the stretch.

Also, during the Heat's run of 3 championships which include the last 12 years, the NBA has had Shaq, Kobe, Wade, Dirk, Lebron, Pierce, Garnett, Allen, Durant, Howard, Paul, Duncan, Parker all in their prime.

The 90s featured a dominant superstar and a sidekick and some emerging stars, but the best players the Bulls played against were in their decline or too young or just not as great as either the 80s or the 00 era.

You pull an article that talks about fights, shorts and jerseys to justify your point...Clown....

Everything on court related like fighting and rivalries I would consider it progress that the players work together and not acting like prize fighting dogs, as well as overblown.

Some of it they stretched, like claiming Kobe...who he did play in the 90s was coming off the bench in them.

They also cited competitive balance stating that every team had some must watch games. That is both untrue and still true respectively. You just have to know a little more about basketball these days because TMZPN talks about 3 players and 5 teams and nobody watches anything but that network.

That being said, sure, the 90s very well could be the golden era.

The 80s are probably a close second for the star power but it was a 2-4 team league.

The 10s are looking to be a repeat of the 90s.

Cant give facts when talking about the Future. Its always about ifs until the moment comes. Come on you are better then that. Even if their were facts its not like some Heat fans would understand what facts are even when u post it on here. Just like that one kid on here. I post facts and he was LOL they mean nothing. He posted facts LOL. Feel bad for that kid. I bet you can tell him that the color of a white dog is white and he will say its orange. Crazy stuff.

10's aren't even better then 00's. 10's are not even close to the 90's or 80's. If the West was like the East then yes I would agree that they are headed in that direction. U have 1 team that has a chance to win a championship every season.(heat). In the West its a toss up. A lot of people had OKC, and Clippers. Guess what Spurs are still hanging around.

There is no side to take. Dude you aren't even making sense. What are you talking about. Im just stating that if Bulls land Melo or Love I will feel confident. If they don't make changes we will be the same team. No chance of winning it.

Also no one has mention dreaming. U keep posting that. Are u dreaming about me or D. Rose. I don't get it.

this guy basically just insults heat fans who disagree with his blatantly biased opinion and talks about the bulls glory days. He has no substance to offer. Even when he tries to make a point it is usually way off base.

No one is making up a Fantasy team. WOW this kid is losing it. U do know every fan thinks about who they would like to add to their team for next season. Melo is a realistic option. Its not like Im saying Bulls should Land Howard, Melo and Love. Melo will be a FA(he has stated he will test the market) and Bulls are an option.

Keep on posting fake Miami and basketball fan.
