I think Lebron is leaving

[bksballer89]

Don't think we're not going to get beat again so get a grip- Pat Riley

 

[bksballer89]

"We need to retool. We don't need to rebuild"

 

[bksballer89]

"This storm will pass"

 

[bksballer89]

" I guarantee you other players will want to come down"

Lmao this press conference is amazing.

The mavs didn't do anything special to him. They put Stevenson, kidd, or marion on him and he couldn't do anything. It's not like they were sending doubles at him. The guy couldn't even do shit in the post with kidd guarding him 1 on 1. All I know is you can't keep running from team to team searching for titles and common sense should tell him to stay in the east with miami. You rather play in the west where you have to go thru paul/blake, durant/Westbrook, and the spurs?

If i were him i wouldn't leave, but its understandable that he be irritated with dwade right now.

Riley on heat being mentally fatigued " welcome to the nba and championship bball"

I'll be watching how Riley handles the draft and what moves he makes before, during, and after. Yahoo is floating an article indicating LeBron is miffed with Arison and is definitely now considering leaving. Freakin Yahoo Sports! Most of the time their liberal, leftwing bullshit just stirs the shitpot and this I believe is more of the same. Like I stated on another thread: I'll believe it when I see it.

Riley will have a championship team next year, that is without a doubt. This guy just has "it".

Lebron and Bosh will sign a short contracts, they will retool and get another elite or legit player.

 

[Retroram52]

I agree Shaneman. If not next year, the following year because Riley has a successful template backed by 9 championships dating back to his Lakers days that he has been using to assemble and develop a team into that level.

LeBron is staying. Wade will opt out and resign for more overall money but more years... like 6 years 60 million or something. Bosh may be similar. Not sure LeBron even opts out this year. I think he gives Riley a year to re-tool. If the team blows it, he can bolt and next year's free agency is better than this years. LeBron isn't tipping his hat. It's a negotiation.. He has leveraged. LeBron is a lot of things, but stupid isn't one of them.

my favorite quote from Riley press conference:
"This stuff is hard, stay together if you got the guts. And you don't find the first door and run out of it." Hard to say who he might be directing this at

 

[Retroram52]

Riley is not the master motivator for nothing. He knows how to light a fire under guys and I am fairly certain that Lebron isn't leaving Miami as I have stated numerous times.

One of the few upsides of LBJ leaving at some point, is that all the bandwagoners will also leave - Should LBJ be back with the Heat - Wade will give it one last go and they will probably end up retiring at the same time, which would make all the bandwagoners disappear since most of them came around when these guys did.

what do we have to do to get Paolo to stop being a fan? I rather have the bandwagon fans then Paolo.

Ain’t a damn thing you can do that will stop me from being a fan. Been a fan since this franchise came about - Will be here for them no matter what

 

[avalon2423]

Ok fine, you can stay a fan, but what do we have to do to get you to leave the boards or at least to stop posting?

 

[Paolo305613]

There aint a damn thing you or anyone can do to get me to stop or leave. Wishful thinking. I will be here until the end of times.
