2019 Offseason Thread

Other than one blip with Wade on the roster, the Heat has been at the bar since inception.

FIFY

 

[dtgold88]

Discussing the Heat with you is not me caring if you like the way they do things, is it?

And answered the decade post?
How? There is no post that I recall.
Find it.
You search everything else.

you asked me to find your post. Seems fair you'd need to find mine. Happened more recently.

 

[dtgold88]

Please take that shit somewhere else.
He said that as of today, he is more qualified to run the Heat then Riley.

As far as your nonsensical rambling, he , @WiggyRuss , said Josh Jackson was a franchise changing player for at least 7 years, amongst tons of other missed predictions.

I’ll teach you something today, most people in life have a job to match their qualifications.

Riley is the NBA.
Wiggy is an office boy.

Then he was wrong about Josh Jackson. Not like wiggy signed a bunch of middling players to bloated contracts so his team could be average.

wiggy at least knows something about the cap. You implied you do not.

Are you saying we can never question a coach or FO because they are in the NBA?

 

[dtgold88]

As far as the Lakers chances of coming out of the West, I'm actually a little more worried by the Jazz than even the Clips.

I think the Clips are better, but not an unrealistic comment at all.

 

[dtgold88]

You seriously believe that? Through 5 of those 6 seasons for the Heat, they are 209-201 and made the playoffs twice, getting to the second round once. The Cavs in their first season were 19-63, already 18 games behind the Heat in their first non-Lebron season. The Cavs would have to average 47.5 wins for the next 4 years to catch up to the Heat.

NOT A CHANCE IN HELL, lol.

But the Cavs tried to rebuild to hopefully matter in 3-4 years. The Heat tried to be good and still don't matter going into year 6.

Disagree?

 

[dtgold88]

Disagree completely. That new court is a money-printing machine and people will always prefer living in the Bay Area over the mistake by the lake. The only lucky occurrence that changed the path for the Cavs was a hometown kid becoming an era-defining star and actually falling into their hands in the draft. Odds against that happening again?

OK, but before those occurrences since I've paid attention going back to mid-late 70s (so 40 years) GS hasn't had any more success than the Cavs.

There's that cap thing so not sure the money printing machine matters in this comparison and if it did, the Cavs have an owner who has shown he wont let money get in the way of winning.

 

[dtgold88]

Yeah, far as i can see there was no call for it...

that kinda arrogance won't win you any friends...

I don't disagree, but the idea he lacks self confidence is absurd. The guy transferred to Oklahoma without even talking to their HC.

Im saying you’re a fucking head case.

Questioning a decision is far different then saying you are more qualified to make it then the NBA legend HOF who runs the Heat.

 

[dtgold88]

I posted similar and challenged him to bet.
After this year they’ll need to average winning 55+/- per and 9 playoffs games over next 3 seasons.

As usual, he rambled with his dick in his mouth.

why would he accept such a bet when we all know (and most seem to agree with the plan) they were not trying to win right away.

Tell you a bet I'll make. within year 6 of the rebuild there will be a preseason over-under with the Cavs higher than 43.

 

[dtgold88]

Let’s not forget original stint failed.
Needed Riley to get him over the hump.
The 1.7% Wiggins pick is what brought him back.
Worked out, but as you stated, happen again?
I’m not thinking so.

This again? Repeating it wont ever make you right.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

you asked me to find your post. Seems fair you'd need to find mine. Happened more recently.

Find your post saying I made a post that I never did?

You really are a whack job!

Cue the meltdown coming soon...

He's not questioning 1 decision it is a number of them. And he's not wrong. But I will say While Riley has been a disaster with the cap he's been solid where he picked. Too bad he never got the chance to swing with a high pick.

wow..more reading comp issues. No find my post replying to your question.

Care to make a wager as you always want to do? If I find it I get 1000 vcash....if I can't I'll give it to you?

Maybe he should take it because he guaranteed numerous times the Cavs would be better over the first 6 seasons LeBron was gone then the Heat have been.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Repeating it wont, being accurate will.
Cavs had one chance that draft, and won it with a 1.7% chance.

Saying Im wrong, won’t make you right.
Prove me wrong.

You’re all over the road.
Slow down,
What exactly are you proposing the bet is?

to be fair, i said a monkey with an abicus would be more qualified than riley at this point.

And you need look no further than the results for proof.

 

[WiggyRuss]

He said he could have done a better job than Riley the last half decade. If you were told 5 years ago in 6 years you'd be projected to go 43-39 would you have said, "sure sign me up"

FYI - your answer should have nothing to do with the Cavs so try and stay focused.

i never said i would have done a better job--- i said a monkey with an abicus would have done a better job.

my point is that Riley has done an awful job the last few years.

I sincerely do not understand how anyone could possibly dispute that. The proof is in the results. His team is capped out, mortgaged future draft picks, and hasnt won anything of consequence.

i sincerely do not understand what the big deal is. none of this is groundbreaking stuff. its obvious.

Are you more qualified then a monkey with an abicus?

Are we betting the 5-6 year thing?
Seems like Cavs have easy path to outdo Heat!
