If Woj isn't credible, who is?? lol

How about Michael Wallace who's an ESPN beat writer for the Heat who says this shit is false.

Get the fuck out of here with that weak shit.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Woj reported it - but turnup says its not true--- so turnup must be right.... choppedown like a cherry tree MF'ER!! LOL

Carry on....You're doing greeaattttt!!

Not only that, he explained it in detail, which actually MAKES SENSE.

 

[gordontrue]

The Cavs were able to pull off a sign-and-trade with the Bucks for Delly.

Got back a $5m TPE.

Great news.

 

[Heatles84]

From the Wallace report:

"Reports that the Heat offered Wade only $10 million for next season have been overblown, sources said, with the sides actually being $10 million apart on the total amount of the contract".


So there you go, they offered 40, he wanted 50.

Does that not seem much more logical and believable?

"Please reference post #7382" is going to be a regular thing for me for a while on this thread.

#7414 is closer ....

"Please reference post #7382" is going to be a regular thing for me for a while on this thread.

It's crazy.....

Wade is a icon.

I have always been a fan.

But, the 49ers chose keeping Young over JOE FRICKING MONTANA.....

So, Whiteside over Wade is not outrageous.

Lakers essentially did the same thing with Kobe and Shaq. Not the same situation, but this isn't the first time this has happened.

 

[anotheridiot]

Lower cap means lower maxes, right? Maybe the lesser amounts that they would have to pay Durant and Curry will be just enough to keep Iguodala. Not sure if they can keep Livingston, though.

Lower than expected cap. It went up to 94 this year, they were expecting it to go to 107 next year, but now they are saying 100-102, so its still going up.

I also heard Luxury threshold is 122 this year and 127 next year.

Its outrageous because Whiteside is not a scorer. Paying a guy max to hope he becomes a scorer is the same fate the bulls have with Jimmy Butler. He earned the max doing his defense and adequate scoring, scoring heavy to earn max does not include what got him to max.

really? wow.....that kinda came out of no where. nicely done.....Gilbert will never look past an opportunity to better the shape of his franchise...

This is business.

Riley had to put the Beats interests ahead of his affinity towards Wade.

If you have to choose between two players, for whatever reason, the younger guy will usually win.

 

[gordontrue]

Yep... and McMenamin just said the Delly TPE will be used to acquire Dunleavy.

meaning.... the $10m Varejoa TPE is still available.

That's awesome!

Who says they hope that?

Do you think the Clippers gave Jordan a max hoping he would turn into Patrick Ewing?

Cuban tried selling him that bull. But, Doc didn't.

You think Orlando is expecting 20ppg from Biyombo?

 

[WiggyRuss]

wow.....thats pretty awesome...i was nervous we used the varejao tpe because i figured we would save it till the trade deadline and add someone from a team that is out of contention and trying to unload a salary in preperation for the offseason- just like the magic and frye last year....except getting a defensive type player

after cutting it in half i was nervous that would hurt us down the line.....preserving the full 10M tpe is a job well done...

imagine if they fill THAT though, and bring JR back.....once again dan is gonna have to shell out some SERIOUS cash! LOL.

 

[anotheridiot]

Do you think the Clippers gave Jordan a max hoping he would turn into Patrick Ewing?

That was the response to saying it was a no brainer to keep whiteside. I cant see how you give up a 20+ ppg scorer and call it a no brainer. Even if they hold teams to 85 points, they still have to score 86 to win.

They still had scorers with Jordan

This happened.

So, Wade going to another franchise is upsetting. But, not unprecedented.
