Let Winslow fly.......

They have 20 million....who is left on the market?

What's the cap floor? Who does Riley spend the money on? It will be hilarious if some team offers Dion Waiters a $20 million/year contract simply because they have to make the floor.

Lance Stephenson

Hmmmmmmm......on a 1 yr flyer?

No, Fuck that....

Don't let that Dude near Whiteside...lol

 

[WiggyRuss]

We'll agree to disagree. I'm not sacrificing potential talent just to have nostalgia moments from the past.

Also, good luck to the Bulls. Hoiberg's space and pace system will do wonders with that lineup - especially given that they have to trade Dunleavy.

yah their shooting is just atrocious...especially after letting gasol leave...who on that team can shoot?

choke artist mirotic?

 

[DJ Fieri]

What if Whiteside backed out? Saw this Tweet.














CHAOS!!!!

Byron Scott did say he thought Waiters looked like a young Dwade..... lol....

Basically Mirotic, that's it. Butler, Wade, and Rondo's not going to give you much space. But it's whatever, I'm glad the Heat didn't cave in to Wade.

What if Whiteside backed out?

i actually had that thought....no one can officially sign until tomorrow....wonder if he was having 2nd thoughts......technically he can still do whatever he wants

 

[Heatles84]

Wow. That was it.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

very interested to see what they do. Riley is in his 70's....think he sees them through a rebuild?

If it's the next 3 years.

Look, if Bosh retires, they are in business next year.

Don't you think this is kinda a blessing in disguise for Miami?

They don't have to do the Kobe farewell contract/tour now and can just move on.

 

[purguy12]

weakness cant hit 3's well with those 3 guys.

 

[Heatles84]

All the shit talkers think they are redeemed from that ass whopping legod put on curry, imo it will be worse next year

And if you watch the highlights lebron was the best player by far out there...And it wasn't even close, i don't see that changing next year, durant or not

Yeah, I forgot how much of a blow out that series was.

He won't.

Remember the Mavs were offering him this very thing....

His own Team.

Portland would have been a nice choice.

But, he won't take the bitch route like my guy, Deandre.

 

[purguy12]

yes and under 50 mill and its only 2 years.

 

[Bolts]

I really don't get it.

Lopez, McBuckets, Valentine, Mirotic, Wade, Butler, Rondo....


Who gets traded Taj, Dunleavey?

Dunleavey is going to make space for Wade, Taj might need to stay for depth. They also got that rookie from last year, I think he played at Arkansas.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I agree with Aldridge......Wade leaving Miami is a lot more shocking than KD leaving OKC.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Basically Mirotic, that's it. Butler, Wade, and Rondo's not going to give you much space. But it's whatever, I'm glad the Heat didn't cave in to Wade.

i wish you guys wouldnt have got Dragic and dealt htose picks and would have just rebuilt from the get go--- but in hindsight you couldnt have predicted Bosh's terrible luck.

honestly- this means that Bosh is retiring right? It would be hard for me to believe Wade leaving otherwise....i believe if his buddy Bosh was their he could have ignored his management issues and gotten through it...if Bosh isnt gonna play- i cant blame Wade for leaving...it was time to turn it over.

the one good thing is the one time you guys were in the lotto in the last umteen years you had a very good player fall to you at 10- the caliber that usually goes in the top 5 right after the cant miss guys (if there are any in a draft). That certainly helps....

and- forgive me if i was skeptical on Richardson after a month of playing- but he did prove himself to be at the very least a solid wing shooter off the bench- and has potential to be a little bit more.

 

[trojanfan12]

If I'm the Lakers.....I want Dunleavy as another veteran to mentor the kids.

Not a bad addition. In addition to his veteran presence, he'd make a good stretch 4 off the bench. Problem is, outside of the young guys, I don't know who they have that the Bulls would want for him.

Brooklyn has emerged as a potential trade partner for Chicago to send Jose Calderon, according to league sources


Why? Stockpiling PG's?

 

[bksballer89]

Man the HEAT front office have bungled things over and over the last couple of seasons

What did they do wrong? Offer him money they don't have. Is it their fault nobody wanted McRoberts? Its also their fault Bosh ended with bloodclots right?

PS: does the Wade signing open the door for a Butler/Celtics trade or am I crazy?
