hate it

Maybe its for collectable purposes but I am a sucker for new uni’s ( Heat uni’s that is) couldnt care less unless it was AS jersey or team USA jerseys worn by any of our guys.

@AlbertRandom1 on twitter, a fan who knows all things cap issues with the Heat has posted a few important tweets:Earliest trade dates for Heat players: Cole and Hamilton anytime; Ennis 8/14/14; Napier 8/17/14; most others 12/15/14; Birdman 1/15/15.
Only Cole, Hamilton, Ennis and/or Napier can be traded before the season starts; combined salary among all four is $4.6M

If the Heat sends out less than $9.8M in salary in any trade, can take back only up to 150% + $100K in salaries.
Dwyane Wade reportedly has a no-trade clause. Luol Deng reportedly has a 15% trade kicker.


Earliest first round pick Heat can trade is a conditional 2017 pick (on condition that Cavs receive Heat’s 2015 pick).

Those jerseys are UGLY

Pacers sign Rodney Stuckey . Realy would have liked for the Heat to go after him. He is a solid player

Yep..was thinking the same thing. We need some solid and experienced players to play when Deng and Wade miss time.

Will loss of LeBron James have Miami Heat players digging deeper? - Sun Sentinel

I really think resigning Michael Beasley should be a priority. We will need another scorer when Deng and Wade sit. Beasley is a flat out scorer. yes, his defense sucks, but that is something that can be coached. Get Alonzo, Juwan, Spo and anyone else they have to actually coach. He is young and can still play, they need to resign him.

This is something I said often this past season - It was sad how we had Beas rot on the bench so much knowing his potential as a score and the excuses that were made about his defense, yet so many times Shane was useless on both ends of the floor and got more chances - I agree bring back Beas should be a priority - I think it would be somewhat of a failure this off-season if he isnt brought back - And even Oden should be brought back for another, real shot.

I seriously hate everytime i look on any sports site or TV I have to see the man child Lebron on it. I am disgusted by that guy. I get giddy just thinking about how excited im going to be watching him fail.

 

[Paolo305613]

I think the word child alone is more accurate - man is too good a word for Queen James.

And no worries - he will fail often and vs the Heat. I hope he fails at everything in life from now on.

Unfortunate news for Rashard Lewis seems to have an injury putting the rest of his career in doubt again. No longer a Heat but one of the good guys who contributed in limited time over the years for our team. Wish him well.

Seriously...those jerseys are horrendous looking

And if first names are shown on the back...what happens with Chris Bosh and Chris Andersen?


The one positive I take from this is this probably means we play on Christmas and most likely against the Cavs in their return to Miami

That's gonna be the most highly anticipated match up of the year

Wow few years ago you wanted him dead and now you hoping we resign him.. Much improvement i would say

Was timing of LeBron James Miami Heat departure perhaps of benefit? - Sun Sentinel

The improvement was made by Beas himself. I am all about second chances. Beas got a second chance with the Heat, and he made nothing but the very best of it on and off the court. I am all for that. You mess up, I will go after you, but if given a second chance and you do right - I will give you your due. Beas has earned it.

 

[avalon2423]

so if Battier wanted a second chance you'd be okay with it?

 

[Paolo305613]

If he got another shot with the Heat and actually made himself useful on BOTH ends of the court and actually contributed to the team more than he hurt them, sure.

Unfortunate news: Dallas Mavericks have voided the contract of Rashard Lewis after finding out of knee issues in his physical of which will require surgery.

 

[avalon2423]

I cant stop laughing at these reports that the reason Lebron is so great is because he might have an Eidetic memory. he remembers everything which gives him a big advantage on the court... that obviously is shit. he didnt remeber how terrible the Cleveland front office is. The guy is a tool.

Blame it on Queen James?
