He really should stop talking.

Didn't he join Miami because he couldn't beat Boston?

Guess Paul Pierce can say the same thing.

 

[Heatles84]

Didn't realize this. Says a lot about the scouting department (except for McRoberts, he just sucks).

or the fact that you keep trading your picks...and im ean- im not gonna blame you- but i think you dealt 2 firsts for bron and 2 firsts for bosh- didnt you? - i mean- i know the 2 firsts for lebron...i thought it was 2 more for bosh but i could be mistaken- combine that with the first rounder you dealt dumping joel anthonys contract......how many times have the Heat actually used a first round pick in the last 7-8 years?

richardson does seem to be a good 2nd round get.....tyler johnson i think was a big risk investing all that money- but we shall see.

Bosh and Lebron both wanted that 6th year on the contract that required the Heat to trade the picks because of Bird Rights - made absolutely no sense for them to request that 6th year.

As far as when Miami has used a 1st round pick the last several years:

Norris Cole - 2012
Shabazz Napier - 2014
Justise Winslow - 2015

It's like he has some sort of alarm that goes off after he's gone a set amount of time without saying something stupid.

 

[Bolts]

Just was going through the schedule for next week and these are the best games of the opening week IMO

Warriors vs Spurs 10/25
Atlanta vs Washington 10/27
Chicago vs Boston 10/27
Portland vs Clippers 10/27
Toronto vs Cleveland 10/28
Pelicans vs Warriors 10/28
Chicago vs Indiana 10/29

No Kings at Suns on 10/26?

They're gonna put on a show. Can you imagine if they had a lick of defense?

Yes... which is exactly what he said in the same breath that he said other eastern conf teams make moves in order to try and beat him. (which is absolutely correct)

All the headlines and tweets just have to leave that part out so the quote sounds hypocritical.

It's never just about me, but I always hear them saying, 'We gotta beat LeBron.' It's not just me on the court, but I understand that teams get together in this conference to try to beat me.

I understood at that point in time that in order for me to compete for a championship and get to that next level, I had to figure out and get with some guys that could be on the same level as Paul, Ray, (Rajon) Rondo, KG and those guys.

And then at that time we didn't even have any money to go get anybody. I knew personally that D Wade was a free agent, I knew Bosh was a free agent, so I knew I had to try and get some guys to try and get Boston, man.

 

[Wamu]

Can't believe the season tips off tomorrow. 2016 has moved very fast.

 

[gordontrue]

Are Tristan Thompson and Khloe Kardashian engaged?

"The report also states the two are set to get married on television, and that Kris Jenner would be on board with a new reality show starring Thompson and Kardashian."

 

[gordontrue]

Haha... the power of LeBron...

LeBron was asked last week if there was anything that could make this better. He said: "I don't know, having an ice cream truck outside both arenas at the same time as well -- icing on the cake."

On Monday, Blue Bunny Ice Cream granted King James' wish. It announced it will have a truck outside the arena to hand out free ice cream to fans.

 

[Heatles84]

Good for him.
