Flauge
Still a Heat fan
Bosh is unreliable. Dragic is overpaid. Wade is in clear decline. Whiteside isn't a max deal guy to me. Winslow is an amazing you talent. A Kwhahi Leonard in the making. Keep him. Start over.
riley is 70- no way he tries to rebuild...he will try and max it out for another year or two somehow, and ride off into the sunset with someone else holding the bagBosh is unreliable.

If they can somehow lure Durant and another FA... and get out of a few of these contracts through trades or whatever... I can see something working. But short of landing a Durant/Westbrook combo, this team is looking old, slow, and is a walking mash unit.

flush with what? besides cap space?The problem is the Bosh cap space for next season.
There's just nothing Riley can do until 1 year from retirement, if Bosh can't play.
We'd be pretty flush in '17 the way I see it, IF Bosh retires.

Since Riley came to Miami in the mid 90s, Miami has been an elite franchise, almost always in the playoffs, 3 titles,5 NBA finals and 7 ECFs. Miami has been the best team in the East over that period. Only the Lakers and Spurs can claim better in the NBA. I would love Riley around for a rebuild.. but as was said he turns 71 next month, if he doesnt want to stay around for it, then he certainly has earned the right to step aside. I just don't think Riley has it in him to do that. Not yet anyway.
He's definitely made a few good moves ... Shaq, Whiteside, ... some key FA signings. (#23, Bosh, Ray)
But I thought he could have done better filling in the spots around their Big 3. I think Cavs have done a better job in the last year adding depth and pieces which fit together.
But -- obviously the Heat won twice so it is hard to argue with final results. (and Cavs may not win it even with these moves) I just found it painful to watch Anthony & Chalmers start ... Birdman, Haslem, Coles, Lewis, ...
Those two first rounders are in 2017,18, 0r 19.. and then in 2021. The 1st rounder in 2017/18 is a protected pick that would have to be given in 2019 if Miami didnt have it over before. I believe Riley can rebuild this thing in 3 years.. definitely 5.
flush with titles that they won with Lebron... something Cleveland isn't flush with...flush with what? besides cap space?
lol... cool.. so cleveland can have both of the guys that got miami 2 titles in their post prime years when they don't win shit! LOL... Can your city please win something, anything, before its fans run their mouths please.
2017&2018 top 7 protected, 2019/2021 unprotected.
Either way we end up with two extra 1st rounders. I'll take it.
No.. you were losing Dragic regardless. The deal made total sense for Phoenix. Looking back on it, it looks like Phoenix got the better end of that deal.. but it does matter at what spot those picks are in the draft. Not that I dont like Dragic, I just think Miami over paid him with that 90 million dollar contract.
