The disappointment stems from expectation that having won the chips he would retire in Miami and become lifetime family member. Basically he turned the Heat down and opted to finish up his career in Cleveland. But, disregarding that expectation, we are left with the 4-year ride of the lifetime, and Miami is stil in Wade County, and Wade brouight him here for that ride. Can't be mad, only disappointed.
And now American Airlines can go back to being empty again with it overrated maxed out wade leading them for 5yrs.
Will Miami need to do an S&T? At least we'd get something out of it. Maybe we can do the same for Bosh if he leaves and have infinite picks and cash for 2016. If LeBron signs anything that allows him an out in any form before 2017, then I'll know exactly what to think. He made the decision to go back to Cleveland just before a new TV deal and a great FA class. He could have gone back to Cleveland in two years with more money and more pieces. If he's in it long term, you have to respect that aspect of it. If the rumors about spiting the Heat are true, then unless he has a good story, he hasn't really grown up.
My feeling based on what I do know, admittedly nowhere near what Sec does, is that he was too scared to tell us face to face he was leaving anf played it off.
extensive post coming up. I am drowning under calls. I guess I lost my own show. Hope I keep the current one. LOL. Unless Riley can pull something off. Of course.
i would be happy from a FO standpoint, you don't have to pay 42 million for 2 years, he is damaged goods and not worth that money, i hope for you guys miami is not making the same mistake as the lakers did with kobe
Again? The AA was one of the best attended arenas in the league BEFORE Lebron got here. If you want to troll at least get your crap together
Maybe this thread will return to the NBA thread now, not just Miami Heat related Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
He is worth it, he is a vet, all star, with rings, a leader in a sense that he is a winner, and he had a good year as far as efficiency. The knees are a concern, but players like Wade get paid max. That is the reality.
Noone in Miami knew this happened. That is at least one lie there, can't blame that on change of heart.
Rumor was that it happened this past Sunday, but Heat media people shrugged that off and didn't believe it.
Miami should insist on Wiggens back in a S and T. I don't like Wiggens as I've stated but he is all they can give us worth much.
Who told the lie, then? Sports media? Shocking. You weren't lied to, Alex...aside from your job telling you to get ready to work hard, I guess.
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA · 3m · LeBron James, Dan Gilbert, Rich Paul and Maverick Carter met for 4 hours in Miami last week and talked through it all, Gilbert tells Yahoo.
I'm not mad that he left, he exercised his right as a free agent and obviously made this decision with pressure from his family. We won't burn his jersey or write open letters calling him a coward and poor role model, we have class. But I am EXTREMELY disappointed in LeBron for putting money in Dan Gilbert's pocket without even the courtesy of a public apology from him. Extremely disappointed.
Job didn't tell me this, Heat and Adidas did. Same people that told us a day in advance Lebron chose Miami in 2010. I don't hate Lebron or anything. He just handled this poorly with our organization.
As a non-any team fan, a big congrats to Pete and PhiNomina I hope you guys see that ring you so richly deserve..... To my Heat/Phins brethren I feel for ya'll, say what you want on how you aren't this or that, but it sucks it is only human, the only reason you could say that is because you already have 4 straight appearances and 2 rings in 4 years to lean on....it is like people feeling bad for a Yankee fan, **** just doesn't happen... I don't fault LBJ if you read that letter on SI and it doesn't make you the least bit feel good for him, then you have some hate built up for the man..... Man I can only hope one day soon we all can go buck wild on the real reason this forum exist.....it has been way to long fellas and ladies...
That letter was made to make the public okay with his decision. Its not how he handled it behind closed doors. Wait for the Sec Bomb if you don't want to trust me on it. No idea what he will say but I know it will be along the same lines with more detail.
Well you do have to wonder about the opting out of contracts by guys who thought he would return. Especially by a guy like UD who isn't pulling down the big big $$$$$
Just wait for the Sec bomb. I can only say generalized things because its confidential, not asking you to believe me but Sec will fill in more detail than I ever could I'm assuming.
