THE OFFICIAL MIAMI HEAT SUMMER of 2010 Thread.

Why are you guys wasting your time in that pathetic forum? It is not worth it if you ask me.

 

**** cleveland **** chicago **** new york **** orlando **** the east **** the west!

Heat run the nba! Good luck to everyone fighting dor second place!

 

Feels good man.

 

The rest of NBA is gonna get raped.

 

can someone explain to me how this cap stuff works?

how does the sign and trade help them? are draft picks built into the cap number? i dont get it

 

lol. this isnt the VIP sect, sect

 

ok, so wait. the original team can offer their free agent more money than any other team and then trade that contract?

also the heat sort of have to give away their picks right?

 

Kill me now.

 

so for bosh, the heat made up the difference between what they could have signed bosh for vs. what he signed with the raptors for?

or did they not have to do that?

or are they allowed to go over because they can project that they wont exceed the number?

idk, i still dont quite get it

 

Just said this somewhere else; Riley could have bent the Cavs and Raps over, no lubricant...but instead he got them to take something for their players.

This way, everybody wins at least a little.

 

This.

What's the standing record for victories in one season? It's about to get shattered.

 

lol. the nfl is easier to understand. this is probably why nba salaries are so outrageous

 

You got the full-sized pic of your av? I want to make a sig or something down the line.

 

ahhh. i see. so essentially, the heat became the raptors with respect to bosh. its as if bosh was always a heat.

and there is no day of reckoning for type of thing? or does that number over the max always be exempted

the picks wouldnt bother me tbh. you dont really need that player or want his contract

 

seems like an interesting process that helps teams and ensure that player salaries always increase. but there are too many guys that are overpaid

 

Never one to miss out on a good opportunity to complain, noted basketball genius Mike Florio has chimed in.

I ate a nice block of cheese while consuming this whine. Fantastic.

 

He nailed it tho.

 

I'm happy the Cavs got something at least potentially useful. I was concerned they'd take a bad contract in any S&T they did.

 

I disagree with him on several points, especially his contention that the Triple Crown don't know what they're doing by signing up to play together. He also made no mention of how announcing a departure on TV in prime time is a 180 from the way Art Modell left Cleveland and was likely done in recognition of how Modell is hated.

Basically, he needs to stick to speculating about football.

 

Sorry, just to clarify, I didn't read the whole thing just the part you quoted.

 

I thought Florio was his usual self, lots of complaining, not much substance. I think the super friends have a very good idea about how the grind of a 82 game season works and they are more than capable of understanding what parts of their olympic experience will translate and which parts won't. I certainly think that they have a better understanding of that than Florio does.

And I think that Lebron's decision to hold that 1-hour show was intended to be the opposite of Modell. He wanted to be the guy that told the city he was leaving rather than be the guy who left in the middle of the night. Reality is that no matter what he did Lebron was going to be criticized. I fully believe that if Lebron had stayed in Cleveland, Florio would have put out a similar piece complaining about how once again an athlete proves it's all about the money and how Lebron took the easy choice, like some kid who's not man enough to leave the safety of his hometown, yadda yadda.

 

As usual, we're in total agreement.

The LeBatard clip is classic and I urge everyone to listen to it.

 

Do you pull a LeBatard and waffle on whether or not LeBron is the best player on the team?

 

I think it was James who made a good point when he said that Noah wouldn't have said that if they had signed with Chicago, then said that he liked Hollywood.

That event was the foundation of the new Evil Empire. This is going to be a great ride, guys.

 

Is there any place online I can watch the whole thing?
