Official Offseason News and Rumors

[Sportsman]

I'm convinced that Sportsman is either really retarded or one of the biggest trolls.

Lebron's realization that coming back to the Heat without major changes has got this Heat fanbase in a frenzy.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Pacers, Wiz, Nets, and Bulls will all have great chances against a weak Heat team with a crippled wade and overrated Bosh.

The Pacers have absolutely no confidence.

The Wiz are dangerous

The Nets are crippled and old, especially if Pierce leaves

Th Bulls will only contend if they get a scorer or Melo. Not even offense

?
I haven't seen any Heat fan in any frenzy.
Heat fans know and understand what FA means.

I don't think any Heat fans truly think he is leaving, but if he does,
we'll thank him, say fuck him...then move on to whoever replaces him.

I think Hollins will help the Nets out a lot and Rose will finally be healthy for the Bulls.

All of you Heat fans are stressing out, half of this thread are posts from worried heat fans.

Wade is washed up because he had a bad series? And Bosh is still in his prime. I'm convinced you guys doesn't understand the difference in being a #1 option and having everything ran through you and being a #3 option and having nothing ran through you.

Bosh would easily avg 22+ PPG on any team as the #1 or #2 option

He just doesn't look like that guy anymore he needed to get that surgery now it just looks like it's slowly breaking down. Also bosh is not that great a very good role player but not a 22+ scorer on any team

I've seen some posters getting frustrated, but not stressed.
Of course I'd like to see his name on the dotted line ASAP,
but I'm not stressing either way.
To be brutally honest, I am stressed about whether Beasley is brought back.

 

[Heatles84]

You are smarter than Riley, that guy is a boneheaded GM. Lakers and Heat are both boneheaded fanbases, when those 2 fanbases agree it usually is wrong and dumb.

LOL, your fanbase (sorry Mecca) is bragging about how you're the best in LA right now. How many conference title series have ya'll been to? Whether Miami is back in contention or at the bottom of the rung where we're going for the lottery, at least our the Heat can say they've reached the promise land, on multiple occasions. The Clippers are still playing the game - maybe next year.

 

[trojanfan12]

I don't think you realize how bad the heat will be next year if the heat don't get rid of either Wade or Bosh. Those guys aren't going to take big enough salary cuts for the Heat to sign anyone that will make a huge difference. Lebron needs some rest before entering the playoffs for a FIFTH straight title run. Lebron isn't superman, his exhaustion is starting to show up and will come to a head this coming season. Do you think Lebron carrying even more load with Bosh getting worse and Wade being crippled is going to help Lebron remain fresh??? There are many factors at play here that the Heat aren't considering when evaluating their current situation.

Maybe Sportsman is on to something here. After all, if any fanbase knows what a bad team looks like, it's the Clippers fanbase.

 

[trojanfan12]

LOL. The Pacers after the conference finals flat out said they couldn't beat the Heat after a 3rd straight year. There have always been concerns about Wade's health, but he's always delivered.

The Nets???? They're about to lose Pierce and KG is coming back at age 39. Williams and Joe Johnson aren't putting them over the Heat if the big 3 come back with a revamped roster.

The Wizards.......haven't won a home playoff game in the 2nd round in my life time. Let's see what they do this year.

The Heat have beaten the Bulls with Rose before. I don't understand how the Bulls are always a significant threat to the Heat, considering the Heat beat them in the big 3's first year together, with the crappiest bench I could ever imagine.

How about we wait to see what the Heat look like next year before we start saying Miami is no better than the 5th team in the East.

It's shit like this is why I said your opinions were idiotic.

The one thing I will say about this is that a couple of these teams are a player or 2 (or maybe just some maturity) away from being able to beat Miami.

Example, if Rose comes back healthy and 'Melo goes to the Bulls, the Heat are in trouble. If Indy gets or develops a player who can actually be counted on for offense late in games, the Heat are in trouble. These are the only 2 Eastern Conference teams that have shown they have a chance. And "the Heat are in trouble" doesn't mean they lose, just that it will much more difficult for them.

So, while I believe that Miami can bring back the exact same roster and still be the favorites in the east, the gap isn't exactly Grand Canyon size. At least not when it comes to the Bulls and Pacers.

 

[trojanfan12]

I think Hollins will help the Nets out a lot and Rose will finally be healthy for the Bulls.

Unless the Nets bring Pierce back AND Hollins has a hot tub time machine or knows where the Fountain of Youth is, he's not going to help much vs. the Heat.

Teams like the Lakers, Spurs and Heat hang championship banners. The Clippers hang selfie banners.

He just doesn't look like that guy anymore he needed to get that surgery now it just looks like it's slowly breaking down. Also bosh is not that great a very good role player but not a 22+ scorer on any team

If bosh goes to a team that run offense for him & can get 16 shots oer night, he will avg in the low 20s

Wade isn't the same guy but he can still avg in the low 20s and shoot over 50 percent.

If the Heat have or can get a viable 2 guard, then Wade should take a Ginobili role or at least just play Ginobili minutes. I think the Heat sat him too much during the season. I think he'd be better served sitting out of fewer games, but playing fewer minutes per game.


As for Bosh, people who actually understand the game, know what he sacrificed. As I've said before, if the Lakers decided to go after Bosh and offer a max or near max deal, you'd see no complaints from me. I'd love to see how he and Pau worked together at the 4 and 5 and then Randle could come off the bench and play the 3 or the 4.

I'll believe it when I see it. Right before the Finals, Bosh said he'd take a pay cut to stay in Miami. Free agency, got to love it.

 

[Retroram52]

If Bosh goes anywhere, I doubt seriously if he goes to the Lakers. Looks like he may have some interest in Texas but I think he'll return to Miami.

 

[Davis_Mike]

Bosh is probably tired of waiting & likely feels he is being neglected or treated as the third wheel. It's gotta be tough on one's ego knowing you are sacrificing for the overall good of the team while the 1 of the 2 other wheels isn't doing the same.

I don't know if these rumors are true, but if they are I understand Bosh's point of view.

So they are gonna pay a bench player 12-15 mil, seems wasted IMO

 

[Shanemansj13]

If I was Bosh I wouldn't pass up going to a Texas team and especially Houston. How would Dallas work, would he play the 5, bc Dirk is at the 4?
