2016 NBA Off-Season Thread

At this point I kind of count especially if we're bidding with freaking Denver of all teams

That's just sad. Wade shouldn't even be talking to a team like Denver.

Arent you the guy that always shits on wade constantly?!

Yeah and he wants him to pinch a big loaf all over Riley lol

Wiggy goes in more directions then a broken compass depending on the minute of the hour.

It will be either:
1. Greatest thing ever if he goes to Cavs
2. Terrible signing if he stays in Miami
3. Arison/Riley suck if he goes anywhere else.

Ray Allen? He's 41 and he hasn't played in several seasons....

as a #1 option...if hes the 4th option i can deal with that....i can def deal with that.......give him plenty of rest...he doesnt have to exert himself or carry the team like he has to in miami....maybe even go back to being a little bit of a 2 way player....., make sure he is good to go for the playoffs...i HIGHLY doubt he takes a 7000% pay cut, but ya never know.

If Dwade is your best player right now at age 35 your prob not going anywhere...obviously...

if he is your 4th or 5th guy and wants to try and win a title and takes a big pay cut...yah sure....sign him up.

totally depends on the circumstance and the role you see the guy in and what hte team needs.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Denver is desperate

Wow. I love me some Wade but not sure how he makes them so much better. He's best suited to being the 3rd option at this point in his career.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

In addition to inking Zaza Pachulia, the Dubs have also signed C/F David West.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The only reason I can think that Denver would want Wade is to help mentor Mudiay.

Wow.
I agree. No way he's playing for 4M though.
He's also not going to Denver.
So if you're Riley, what do you do?

Again, Bosh is the X factor, but let's assume he's done.

I'm guessing they meet in the middle dollar wise, but only 2 years.

You gotta admit tho, CLE gives him the best chance at winning and extending his career...His minutes will be way down vs if he stays on the heat

Best chance at winning, yes, but he's already got 3.
Is a chance at a 4th worth 20+M this year?

GTFOH.

It's a 401k contract......paying the man for his many years of service. Kind of like Kobe's 2 year deal worth 50 mill and kind of like when the Cavs throw Fort Knox at LeBron when he's eligible for his HUGE payday.....despite him not being in his prime anymore.

Despite it, the Heat will still be competitive and a playoff team in the East.

Riley offered every nickel of cap space we have.
Nothing more to give him this year.
He was offered a player option after 1.
Only player we've signed is Whiteside.
We do need to field a roster.

 

[Black Adam]

Lebron is pretty humble especially to the city and it's fans, he just has a big ego. [/B]Curry is humble but a little cocky which he never was before. I have nothing bad to say about KD honestly, things could change though

They want us to give Wade money we don't even have lol

That one is a headscratcher? Zaza isnt bad, but West seems to be the wrong pickup.

David West adds a warm body to the depleted depth no doubt.

But, he makes their glaring defensive weakness ever weaker.
He cannot defend the paint or rebound much anymore....and he sucked at it when he was younger.

He is good for keeping it honest offense and leadership....but his defense was really bad at times for SA.
I am still not sure why the Ws keep grabbing offensive players when they need paint defenders.

 

[trojanfan12]

No, it was the opposite. He was dogged for the move in general. And this move IMO is 100x worse, that is what I am saying. Minus The Decision and Lebron still gets more hate for the move than I think even KD (it comes with being The Chosen One though), I guess we will have to see. He is receiving some hate *cough* *cough* Stephen A.

Pretty safe bet that "not 5, not 6, not 7", "it will be easy", his "people" confiscating video of him getting dunked on by a college kid and making fun of Dirk during the finals (among other crap) had a little something to do with it too.

LOL @ any of that other than The Decision being reasons why, it was mainly the decision. KD has said multiple times he is the best player in the world and he says stuff too it just doesnt get blown up like everything Lebron does, it comes with being the greatest though. KD went to a team that is already the best team and for all the years KD said he would never leave and all the crap he talked about the Warriors and he didnt like bandwagoners is bs. The fact is KD will STILL never receive more hate than Lebron and it is probably a good thing. Lebron can handle all the pressure and hate, KD would shrink like a raisin. I mean he already fled OKC bc of the fact he couldnt handle the pressure, cant be a leader, cant deliver even with a great team around him. If ALL OF THIS was Lebron's situation it would have received even more hate for fleeing Cleveland with a legit contending but KD comes off as a more likeable guy even though going by all the things he said, he is basically just a coward. I actually never thought I would say that about the guy bc I like him.

I was thinking something very similar.
