Are you saying you showed us the story so we knew you did not agree with it?

Don’t really care what you think.
Point is/was that for the most part, most people in the business think that Riley is a bit sharper then your tool bfb @WiggyRuss.

Also, fun fact.
Whiteside is current league leader in blocks and 3rd in rebounding.

Riley messes up, and messed up really badly with waiters and Johnson, but he also brilliantly fixed it. Both can be true.

nice deflection, but the question was did you show us a story - and the chess/checkers comment - so we knew you did not agree with it?

yes or no?

I mean, if its a yes or no only question, then yes , he messed up.

But, to be fair, JJ was always decent when healthy and Dion had his good moments. He also had plenty of bad moments and just isn’t a Heat type player.

Allegedly all about The Heat Way yet signed someone to a long deal "who isn't a Heat type player?"

I agree that Riley is always playing chess. Totally agree with that.
As with anything, not every move works.
Bottom line is that he found a way to rid of every bad piece people here were ripping him for, as well as saying it couldn’t be done.

Plus, he did it while currently improving the team as well as increasing their chance for success in the future.

Live and learn.
Dion got a bit lazy after he got paid.
He played his ass of to position himself to get paid.
Thats Rileys fault?

Yeah, paying Waiters and the Johnsons was brutal. But deftly dumped all of them without killing his future assets.

Pretty sure one person said "it couldn't be done". The chess/checkers comment a bit out there as who knows how a 36-year-old fits in who as not played in 8 months and has played with pretty much the same core of teammates for the last 6 seasons. Not saying a bad deal, especially if Winslow would not be helping them this year, but chess/checkers?

Riley signed him and don't kid yourself others questioned that deal (as well as Johnson and Olynyk).

Yeah. All those deals were questioned at the time.

T Johnson one was a poison pill and the least criticized

My guess is they go with Drummond and Love down low with TT coming off the bench. And you're right, this is shaping up to be an absolutely horrible draft. I think Wiseman could be good, but he's far from a sure thing.

I think Carey is being undervalued. Duke isn't using him like he played in high school; apparently he has legitimate 3 pt range and his pro game could resemble KAT's (for better or worse I guess, given his recent losing streak).

Honestly I don't know much about that guy, but it wouldn't be a shock. There are no sure things in this upcoming draft like we've seen in recent years.

Do you think maybe, possibly its ok to move on?

Every move was made for a reason.
Not every move or reason works out.

In totality, Riley has brought about more fun and entertainment to the Heat fan base then anyone ever could have hoped for.

6 years into the rebuild. Props to him. He's decent. Never said otherwise. But checkers to chess?

Maybe you should email the writer of the article and tell him how butt hurt you are with his analogy?

In 4 more seasons Cavs will still be a bottom feeder ( guaranteed), and nice try with 6 year spin on Heat.

And, no, not explaining it to you again.
Run with whatever you want.

Butt hurt?

It's a comment I disagreed with. Happens a lot in sport forums. Guess this means you are butt hurt by my opinions. Feel free to send a message to my inbox telling me how butt hurt you are to talk through your issues.

Ya gotta love this forum.
