    LOL

    It's a refrigerator. I clicked on the link in Whiteside's post and it's literally just a refrigerator for sodas and beer.

    The website says "all the vending machine fun for your home"

    Were people really looking for the vending machine experience at home?

    Hassan, you're going to be very rich, very soon. Don't waste it bro, lol

    I hope we do.

    What are your and Boik's thoughts on taking Cauley-Stein at 4? I've read that they really like him. He could be an absolute elite defender, but is he worth passing on higher scoring upside guys?

    This cocky attitude is consistent with the last 15 years of Knicks' irrelevance. With or without Wade, you can bank on this, we will make the playoffs next season, the Knicks won't.

    Hold up - you think the Heat would be penciled into the Finals? That starting 5 would be very good - but Atlanta, Indiana, Cleveland, Chicago are all going to be very good. Hell - Milwaukee is on the up. The East was awful this year but Paul George returning, Jabari Parker and that young core maturing, Hoiberg and Rose in Chicago - hell, the Cavs had a better NetRtg than the Warriors after their trades before Kevin Love got hurt.

    Just don't see how you can say they are penciled into the Finals at all. Even if you disagree with all of those other teams - "penciled in" over Cleveland seems extreme.

    What exactly are the Heat going to do this off season that will make then odds on favorites in the EC? Do you really expect Wade to gamble $10+ million on the hope they can land KD in 2016?

    I don't want him at 4...I don't even want him at 15. His skillset is not a match for a triangle. He can't shoot. Spacing will be a disaster with him. Luckily I know it is misinformation season. He's not going to be a serious consideration unless we move down to like 8-10. Trey Lyles would be more of a consideration and I don't think that's real either
    You do realize he's saying that just to get that reaction from you, right? I don't think he was actually serious.

    There will be nobody that will be an odds on favorite to win anything next year. If the Heat return their five, make a couple of smart additions, and you never know if they hit on that 10th pick....YES..they will be a CLEAR favorite to meet Cleveland in the ECF's.

    I can almost guarantee that they will be the second favorite in the East to reach the Finals. You meet in a series...many factors can tip a series one way or another.

    Nobody. How many guys are taking less money? My point is that unless you are on a team that is good enough to be penciled in, you're not likely going to give up money.

    Im fully aware but I have to remind him how much the Knicks suck and will continue to suck. Even the Nets have been more relevant the past fifteen years.

    No. Two sides of the court. Wade proved this year he is still very good on both. Melo proved he liked doughnuts.

    No. By constantly having to have his old *** knees managed in order to make it through a season.

    Gabby says shes not giving up Wade that easily.

    Crack is bad.

    If constantly having to manage Wade's knees to make it through a season means he needs a rocking chair, what does a player who had to be shut down in February because of his knee need, a hospital bed? :tongue2:

    True. However to be fair, some of his hamstring issues are probably related to the knee.

    no, that's called a tank. Melo played through it for as long as it was worth it. May as well be healthy for next year. :)

    Ok let's pretend Wades knees haven't been babysat by the Heat for the last 4 years. He's a fantastic player, especially in his prime but really?

    Seriously not trolling, I know this is a Miami-related site, but I seriously don't think the Heat are going anywhere without a decent rebuild. If you look at Miami's history since 2000 the only times Miami have won titles is when they've had at least two super-star players. Wade and Shaq, Wade and Lebron. Lebron's gone and Wade's aging (which means he'll have to adjust his game or play fewer minutes). Bosh is good but he can't carry a team to a championship, nor can anyone else on the squad. The Wade era is ending and unless a super-star player is added I truly believe the remaining window for a Wade lead/assisted victory is going to close without another title. It's difficult, but the game's changing. The 3-point shot is now vital and any team that wants to contend need to be able to hit the 3 consistently, and guard against it, without sacrificing the ability to get to the rim. The whole court is now being used and so it needs to be used and covered. Miami need to rebuild, as do a lot of teams. Wade and Bosh still have some fight left in them and can provide a solid base for a squad, but as they are, I don't see the Heat going far at all.

    That's exactly what they have done since Lebron left. You are aware of who Goran Dragic and Hassan Whiteside are? You do know they have the 10th pick in the draft?

    This isn't the NFL, and this is Pat Riley. He rebuilds quickly. As in...from one year to the next.

    This is what happens, when a Narrative is allowed to grab a hold and it just becomes "fact" because it gets repeated over and over.

    Dwyane Wade was put on a "Maintenance" program for the 13'-14' season after he had "Maintenance" surgery. That was it. Where did you get 4 years?

    I want Cleveland to lose, if Lebron was on any other team then I would root for him bit I hate Cleveland for the **** they did to Lebron when he left. Cleveland fans don't deserve a championship.
