Official Offseason News and Rumors

[purguy12]

i would be shocked if LBJ left. Melo i understand he might want to play for a winner.

 

[Shanemansj13]

He'll come back for a 2 year deal, with an opt out after 1 year.

I think that's what he wants, to see how Cleveland plays with Wiggins and for free agency next year

 

[avalon2423]

What a terrible agent that persuades you to go where he wants you.

 

[Andresrenee]

Too many people are saying that he's more than likely going back to Cleveland. It also doesn't help his agent ultimate goal is get him back to Cleveland also.

There's no non-basketball sign that favors the Heat. One thing the Heat always felt they couldn't help is what his inner circle will tell him to do.

I would agree with you. Tons of noise in the system. Wade seems despondent, Bosh not knowing what is up and Riley following through on his speech with retooling instead of rebuilding. He - Riley - is right. Basketball wise, Miami is in great shape, but would be easy to sell Cleveland to Lebron in terms of winning back his home state and becoming a legend. Not sure what Riley can say other than why would you leave your brothers and current team who know how to win for a new coach in the NBA, an unproven organization that does not have a history of winning, and the hope that a first round pick this year turns into something special. Not sure a Cavaliers team with Lebron wins the East with a returning Bulls and Pacers teams much less some of the teams out west. These decisions not always made in the head but in the heart. Fascinating.....

I think the only way Riley can win him over tomorrow is to basically not to be a bitch and run to another team after losing the finals. Be a man, stay here and grow from your defeat in the finals. Make it be known that you cannot win the title every year and those years you don't you can't be prepared to jump ship just because of that.

Of course he will say this in a much nicer/motivating way than I put it

He doesn't need to say that and he won't. He probably understands he wants to win his home state a title eventually, who doesn't. He just needs to lay out the team and say we are still a championship team, but if Bosh leaves to Houston (which I think he waits anyway), I don't know what will win James back.

this is very true. it would look really bad if lbj leaves 2 teams that he lost finals on. not a good luck. it would show he really does run away when his team fails outcome: he stays in miami.

bosh leaves miami picks up gasol.

And the Cavs could also promise him a trade. There are multiple moves they can make. Something for KLove, Jack for Marcus Thorton, get Varejeo off the books along with Bennett. The Heat need this free agency, they have no pieces to trade. The punch is they need to sign Bron and Bosh and that's what Riley needs to pitch, the proven success, guys that have been in the moment.

Bosh isn't leaving unless Lebron leaves.

BTW that was a telling sign also that the reason Bosh actually started entertaining talks with Houston is because the last time he spoke to Lebron, he was not convinced that he will be back so he had to set up his plan B options as well.

 

[Shanemansj13]

bosh leaves miami picks up gasol.

Yah and that is their only option IMO if they don't get Bosh or Gasol, it's over

 

[trojanfan12]

Dwight spent nearly 2 years being an ass nonstop with his decisionmaking.


Lebron had his few weeks in 2010...and maybe his few weeks in 2014...


But, it was nothing as drawn out like the asinine antics of Dwightmare.


Lebron is 1/100th the douchebag that is Dwight Howard.

Yeah Dwight dragged that shit out across 2+ years and 2 teams. I still don't like "The Decision" and "The After Party" but those stopped looking so bad after "The Dwightmare".

 

[Hambombs]

Finally say is on lbj not his agent. All of Blatts people wanted him in golden state

Yah, it is always good to have a plan B. I just think they, Bron and Bosh, would be more sure when they talked. None of is know, they could be 100% to Miami. I don't have a clue anymore.

 

[bksballer89]

I have a clue. I would be stunned if he stayed here

I'm not sure I agree that it means that much. As I said in a previous post, a max contract is a max contract. It could be from the Milwaukee Bucks and Bosh would be a fool to not at least give it a look.

The fact that it's from a potential contender just means that he has to give it a little harder look.

If it was all about money bosh would of been on Houston right now

 

[purguy12]

granger was a bad pick for the heat. McRoberts was nice non sexy move

 

[purguy12]

very true. miami wont come close to that money. Bosh is just waiting on lbj
