THE OFFICIAL MIAMI HEAT SUMMER of 2010 Thread.

Like Section, I'm confident in Wade/Bosh.... Don't see LeBron coming here.... definitely see the remaining $12 million being split between with multiple players (likely two), i.e. Brendan Haywood, Mike Miller, Josh Howard, Ray Allen, Ray Felton, Jermaine O'Neal, Udonis Haslem, Kyle Korver, Tony Allen.

Tons of minimum options out there that CAN PLAY.... Keyon Dooling, Raja Bell, Eddie House, Ben Wallace, Carlos Arroyo, Earl Watson, Roger Mason, Kurt Thomas.... maybe Dorell Wright, Quentin Richardson.

Getting Wade & Bosh in the loop with $12 million left to play with would make for a very easy building of the roster.

 

I hope you're right section. If wade leaves I wouldnt be able to watch basketball again for a long long time, the pain would just be too much

 

All Chicago needs is Bosh and Wade or Bosh and LeBron, they already have a good nucleus of talent. Honestly if Wade wants to win more titles he should get with Bosh and sign in Chicago. I don't think theres any way LeBron, Wade and Bosh wind up together, its a nice fantasy but I can't see it happening especially since Bosh seems like he wants to do a S/T.

 

Quite honestly,

Wade/LBJ/Bosh = Speechless
Wade/Bosh = Thrilled
Wade/Amare = Fine (very unlikely now)
Wade/Boozer = DO NOT CARE
Wade/Lee = DO NOT CARE
Wade Solo = DO NOT CARE

That is truly how I feel. If we can't make a deal with Toronto for Bosh (he's clearly going that direction and that direction only) then I really, really don't give a damn what Dwyane Wade decides to do. Although it'd pain me to see him play elsewhere much less win elsewhere, I also don't want to see the poor guy rot. I'll just try my hardest to either fall in love with Michael Beasley (HA!) or stop watching basketball.

That era before Caron Butler was outrageously ugly. I don't ever want to experience that again. There was literally no hope. I am a true fan but I won't bring myself down to depression following such garbage, so instead of hopping a bandwagon I'd just fall back altogether.

 

Forget about LBJ/Wade/Bosh in Chicago. That CANNOT and WILL NOT happen under ANY circumstances.

If those three play together for a full season, which THEY WON'T, it'll be in Miami.... they'll likely play together in the All Star game though as they should all remain in the East barring any drastic late entry into the sweepstakes (LAC is a joke).

If Wade leaves I won't become a fan, but I'd definitely become a full time Lakers supporter.... until the young Thunder emerge. I don't want to see him win a title with another team's uniform under any circumstances.

 

So why isn't everyone trying to play for the Heat? We've seen it with the Dolphins as well, the no state taxes doesn't mean everyone will sign there. Would be nice if that were the case.

 

Would you have that much left if Bosh got his max available through Toronto and Wade got his from Miami?

 

dude no I dont, nor do I care what people/sources or whatever u know either bro. If you are a bonifide reporter Section, I apoligize, and stand corrected...

I am just saying I am going upon what I am hearing and seeing from the people involved themselves.......I get ur number crunch game, and I always think about the business aspect, go look up my numerous thread saying it isnt worth having so and so cost he costs too, much......but is it all about the money bro?? these guys are all set finicially, even if they never play another game....the bottom line, is if they all give up a little, they could all (and I agree with everybody that it probably wont happen, and it is probably a fanatsy ok) play on the same team, that already has a star PG on it, they would all be better off on the Bulls than the Heat......and could win more titles....plus there would be ridiculous endorsements with these 3 together to make up most of the difference....

that coupled with these freaking guys are hanging out together, openly calling for the "last piece" to come join them......pretty much as they are making decisions on who they are playing for.....together...

 

I agree that theres no way LeBron/Wade and Bosh sign in Chicago thats just idiotic reporting no player is going to leave that kind of cash on the table and Chicago really just can't afford it. Even with those 3 guys it would dip so much into their profits its not worth it. Chicago might be able to wing Bosh/Wade or Lebron by himself though.

 

I think Wade is staying but I'm just trying to think of the dark side in case.....

Would any of you have an ounce of respect left for Dwyane Wade if he leaves Miami for Chicago after all of that "loyalty" BS?

I'd say his ex-wife was right and he can rot in hell for all I care.... that STD should help the process.

 

Just a mere 6 more days to go until a FA can sign anywhere in the NBA.

By Monday, Bron will be in Toronto and Wade will sign with the Clippers.

ESPN's so called "experts" are slinging crap on the wall just hoping something, anything will stick, that way they can claim it later on..

BTW, Ric Bucher annoys the hell out of me, I just do not care for that man's views..whatsoever.

 

Has there been any confirmation on a Wade / Riley meeting tomorrow? Heard about it but don't see it anywhere.

 

Wade has said numerous times during this that, the Heat are class, all really glowing things about Miami, I would be pretty shocked if he left....they are talking fanatsy, the one and only times in the lives they can, they probably are just doing it to cause a stir amonsgt the media, cuz they can u know?

 

I floated the same thing to Sect, that sometimes the dollar amount of the contract isn't the be all end all...Sect then called me stupid and kicked my puppy.

 

dude chill out....I was simply giving a scenrio that albeit isnt going to happen but could with major sacrifices from all parties.....take a walk...breathe...

If I won the lottery I would buy you anything you wanted Scetion cuz thats the type of dude I am, and I hold you in high regard, no BS either bro....however if you are going stick me with some smart *** question like you did, expect something back....

 

You Pads are pretty much the last person on here I would call stupid....

 

we win.

 

Chad Ford on ESPN1000

-Wade came back for a second meeting because he had some questions before commiting

- Wanted to know what the Bulls plan on doing

- Do they have any trades in the works

Not sure if that was posted before or not, but it seems like Wade is doing a little snoopage..

 

Too kind FY.

For these Mercedes FA's to wind up at the same place would require a huge committment to that idea that not a single one has offered as of yet, and more than likely never will.

Artest took less money to sign in LA, Jason Taylor took less to sign in Miami in 09, but those are exceptions to the rule, and in the NBA the original team has more cash to throw at their own FA's.

The Knicks were telling Bron that he would top 1 Billion dollars in income if he signed in NYC...1 Billion dollars in 5yrs...250 million dollars is nearly impossible to deplete, 4x that amount in NYC?

Screw all that happy slappy stuff, that is a mountain of cash for 5yrs labor, Bron would be 30 when the contract expired, why wouldn't he pull the trigger on that deal when he has 1 more MAX contract in his future?

 

and the talent is surely there.....

Miami Heat=New York Yankees

Welcome to my world gentlemen, isnt it great to spend....buying championships is genius...

 

I read your reply outloud and my puppy acted like he had been kicked.

More money than just the contract Sect, one has yet to really grasp that , for example James would make 3 bucks for every pair of "LJ Shoes' sold, where would he sell more of them?

Miami, Cleveland, NYC or China if he wins a title? 300 million Chinese play B-Ball..

As wade said, he saw both sides with Riles, a NBA title and a 15 win season.
