Miami Heat Off-Season Thread

You can't sign back with the team that amnesty you until your contract which they amnesty is up.

In an attempt to try and convince LBJ to go back to Cleveland, the Cavs are rumored to be interested in adding Mike Miller after being amenstied by the Heat.

I wish these rumor people who keep talking about LBJ leaving for Cleveland or Lakers would just shut it, Lebron isnt leaving Miami.. why would he? He won 2 rings and went to 3 finals, lives in an awesome city where there is everything to do and gets to play alongside his close friend...doesnt make sense for him to leave and try and start all over and even further damage his image.

Dalembert is signing with the Mavs.. there goes another big man... I hope Riley has something up his sleeve. We havent added any size, we need a center. Bosh gets manhandled down low. As of now we lost a nice piece in Miller and havent added anything in return.. Im hoping Riley can pull off the Oden deal.. That could be huge.

Dalembert keeps making the same decisions and from my perspective regrets his decision immensely wishing he wished he signed with the Heat to win a ring. If Oden doesn't come through then I'm really curious on who we bring in. We need to add someone to the front court. I've liked Varnado in the summer league, but he's still a work in progress and will likely at some point fulfill the UD role on this team at some point.

We need a real big guy. I'm talking about someone who is 7'0 and 270+ pounds and is actually physical unlike Bosh.

Lebron is not the brightest guy and one thing I never try to do is read a players mind. I think it is far from a lock that he returns to Miami especially if we don't win the title this year. Right now I have it at around 65-70%.

I don't think he goes to LA w/Kobe still being there but I can easily see him leaving us for Cleveland or NY (if Melo leaves).

We need to do the right thing next offseason. Get rid of Bosh and replace him with a big man who actually plays like a big aka Demarcus Cousins.

An old member of the CBS Spors Heat message board would probably jump with joy if they saw this.

In other news, Samuel Dalembert has signed with the Mavs

I guess it is because of who COULD be available in next years draft, but there has been a lot of talk about teams already tanking since this years draft night. This having been said, barring any devastating injuries - no reason why we should not win 60 + games and win another title with some ease.

hey guys check out the phins board. Some new poster there are looking to talk football with other phins fans

 

[Heatles84]

So portions of the schedule have come out. It looks like we open at home against the Bulls. I love the fact that Noah will have to watch the Heat raise another banner.

Meanwhile, we're set to play at LA against the Lakers on Xmas. I still don't understand how we have to go on the road for that game. But hey, anything to rip the Lakers a new hole on the holidays in their very own home.

Houston Rockets get Camby.

Camby to Houston...another big off the board. Seems like Oden or bust. We will find out more tomorrow.

Rumor on Hoopshype that it's down to the Pelicans or the Heat for Oden. If he goes to the Pelicans........seriously....the Pelicans........

 

[bksballer89]

I actually prefer Oden anyway. He is better, bigger, younger. In addition to this he also have a true C body while Camby has more of a PF body. He is basically built like Birdman but a little skinnier.

 

[Andresrenee]

Oden goes to the Pelicans if he wants the guaranteed money....pretty simple.....dollars versus opportunity to be brought back slowly in a winning organization and chance to be part of a dynasty.

 

[Flauge]

if oden is smart.. he goes pelicans. at this point in his career guaranteed money is huge. he hurts a knee again, he wont see any cash.

but i do hope he comes to miami.
