Official Offseason News and Rumors

[tlance]

Dude ... you don't think we have collapsed already? We are not delusional like your owner was in 2010. No Lebron and no Bosh with even a hurt Wade spells no playoffs in all likelihood and a lottery pick.

Don't the Cavs have the Heat's pick for next year?

 

[DJ Fieri]

David Blatt just went from "never-heard-of-him" to household name.

He's not known to the average fan, but he's a winner. 17 championships in 21 seasons.

I believe so.

 

[The Oldtimer]

My source just told me that the warriors WILL NOT trade klay thompson for Love. And cavs will get him for Tristan thompson and waiters and a pick. They will also sign miller and Ray Allen. Man this sucks ass seriously?? Why would you not trade klay for love... Smfh

I said this a few months ago, IMO no way should GS get rid of Klay Thompson. You don't break up a very good backcourt (Klay and Curry), plus Klay is a very good defensive player. It seems to me, that Love wouldn't resign with GS anyway.

If you can get Bosh back it spices things up a bit. Get Ariza some other guys, they can be a 5 or 6 seed

Bulls
Pacers
Cavs
Wiz
Raptors
Heat

That's ridiculously impressive no matter where or who you're coaching

 

[gordontrue]

I'm calling it now... how about a Cavs @ Spurs season opener?

(Pop would probably rest his starters)

 

[The Oldtimer]

Thing is, he said that he would sign in Cleveland if LeBron was there like 2 weeks ago. This was not speculation.

Yeah, you were right and I was wrong, but it won't be the first time, nor the last time.

 

[DJ Fieri]

No way Minny takes that trade. It's awful.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Yep.

 

[The Oldtimer]

No way Minny takes that trade. It's awful.

I agree!!! IMO, Minny can get a better trade elsewhere.

 

[Shanemansj13]

What?

Waiters
Bennett
1st round

I don't think they will

Love would have resigned, no question. Above ALL, he wants to play in California. He listed GS as a team he'd like to go to earlier. GS offered a VERY good deal......Minny was just getting greedy.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Not 1, Not 2, Not 3, Not 4, Not 5, Not 6, Not 7......Heat wins next year.

 

[starbigd]

What?

Waiters
Bennett
1st round

I don't think they will

waiters - bench role player
Bennett - bust
late first rounder

NOT a good offer in the slightest - that's actually a joke. They'll need to include MUCH more than that or Flip Saunders has lost his mind taking that over 2 1sts, Lee, Barnes and Green

I think it's thompson instead of Bennett. But Waiters started for awhile, averaged 18 off the bench

Heat

Pretty sure you forgot the Hawks who will have Horford back and might be signing Deng to fix their need of a wing player. They are built to be a good defensive team that moves the ball around inside to outside much like the Spurs. They have cap space and attractive trade options to make some moves. I don't expect anything major, but as they showed last offseason the small under the radar deals can add up.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Well, if you're gonna be bad you might as well either A.) Get draft picks by S&T or by tanking(in this case they can't tank with Cle. having their draft pick), or B.)clear a bunch of cap space doing it. I couldn't imagine D-Wade in another jersey though

The Bulls wont give him even close to 40M/2 or sign him for longer...so I expect him back.

I'm sad Bosh is going, I think we could have been decent next year if Riley added 2-3 pieces with James $$$..

I don't think david lee is a very good player...often hurt. barnes and green...waiters better than both of them..2 1st rounders at what pick...26 or lower? lets face it...kevin love is arguably best pf right now. seems to me GS wants to pull off a rip off deal.

 

[trojanfan12]

You think it's funny that a team, any team, other than yours has the means to build a team for now and the future that will prevent your team from winning?

Lakers fans 4 year and running downhill spiral really has made some of you more of a Heat hater then a Lakers fan, apparently.

I believe that he was saying it's funny because the Heat are potentially in the same boat that Heat fans have chided the Lakers for. If your team sucks, another team that's actually pretty good, may benefit from it. In the Lakers case, it's Phoenix that stands to benefit.
