Free Agency/Off Season Thread

The one guy that I have not heard much about is Rashard Lewis. Does he come back? Are we even asking Ray Allen to come back? Just curious. Also, have not heard much about James Jones. Guess we are working the priorities first.

Nothing on those fronts yet but hopefully soon

Not expecting Ennis to be a superstar but Kawhi Leonard and more so Jimmy Butler come to mind when I think of the possibilities.

Miami Radio guy, Jon Linder makes this comparison/expectation of Ennis. Your thoughts?

Some more tweets from Ira:Heat making it clear that 2016 could be their next big thing wih two-year deal for Chalmers. Now he can show how complete his game is.

With Chalmers back, keep an eye on what Heat might do with Cole’s $2 million salary, considering Napier will be on books at only $1 million.

It’s looking like a Heat starting five of Chris Bosh, Josh McRoberts, Luol Deng, Dwyane Wade, Mario Chalmers.
With Birdman, Bosh, McRoberts and Haslem in power rotation, will be interesting to see if Oden project continues with Heat.

This would be a pretty damn good lineup with the Dwyane Wade of old. Hopefully, hooopefully D-Wade will be a little better than he was this season. That'd be pretty fucking sweet.

 

[bksballer89]

I think he will be better. He and CB will have a point to prove. I expect both to play with a chip on their shoulder

Wade was pretty darn efficient last year and had his highest shooting percentage. Grant it, much of that is thanks to Lebron, but the reports of Wade's demise are greatly exaggerated. Bosh will likely be the number one option, but Wade will score as well.

I've hitched my wagon to the Ennis train. He's not going to be an all-time talent, but he has alot of potential.

Kind of a slap in the face. Lebron probably told Wade in Vegas. But couldn't even call him to tell him? Wow.

Like the president said, its Lebron's world and we are all just living in it...

 

[Triplexxx23]

I believe wade will get better and be close to the old wade from before. His mind set for 4 years was that lebron was best player and it was him to lead the team. I think this will motivate him to play like he did before. Miamj will whoop the cavs ass... And not just for one game. But for the season and next... Lets go heat!

Chris Bosh was in Africa on NBA Africa/family vacation. Who knows if LeBron tried to call and couldn't get through. Not defending the guy.. just saying it is a possibility. it's also a possibility LeBron just texted him because that's all he thought it was worth.

I actually dont like some of these signing. I like that Riley is keeping the team competitve, but now is the time to try and get younger, we need fresh young guys who can be the future of Miami. Chalmers should have been let go. No way he should have resigned, especially at 4 mil a season. Thats too much for him. He hit his ceiling years ago and that ceiling wasnt very high. We need to keep Cole and Napier. I would have been ok with Chalmers if he was just coming off the bench, but not as a starter. Guys like Lewis need to walk. Dont bring him back. I can understand Allen and JJ, we still need a knock down 3 pt shooter. Id bring back Beasley. Oden, only if your going to actually play him, otherwise go after a real Center or bring in Hamilton. I wouldnt have resigned Haslem. i know he is Mr. Miami, but his playing days are done. He has nothing left to offer us on the court. Pick up Ennis and see what he can do.
