    The thought of Pat Riley texting Lebby a picture of Bill SImmons crying makes my heart smile.

    In Riley I trust. Lebron decides to go..all that does is mean Riley will break himself putting together a team to insure Cleveland never sees a finals.

    Assuming it was actually from Riley, I don't know how subliminal he would be, but Simmons was crying over people continually helping the Heat.

    So maybe it's a chalmers S&T or something like that, or maybe it's the big 4.

    FWIW, Mannix (who actually seems to be somewhat plugged in with Miami) tweeted that Heat have not been advised anything and don't know when decision is coming

    We are. ..but the new age "Heat fan" is as ridiculous as any Jet, or Patriot fan ive ever known. Its an arrogance that will be no more.

    Iam a die hard too 3 pro teams that suck ***....but never will I become pompous and snobby when/if one of these teams ever win anything.

    "When will other teams stop helping the Miami Heat?!"

    That's exactly what I saw and heard on draft night.

    I came.

    All this time going by...there's gotta be something big coming. Some kind of curveball that's making it take longer. Like Melo to Miami, some unforeseen sign-and-trade, something like that.

    I'd love a S&T, Wade and Chalmers for Isaiah Thomas and Jason Thompson. The numbers could be made to add up.

    I realize this is a Heat thread so everyone is going to mock them anyway - but can I point out there were no fans in front of LeBron's house until all of the announcements that "TV CAMERAS AND POLICE CARS ARE GOING TO LEBRON'S HOUSE."

    We're surprised crazies showed up after that?

    Affects my life how? I'm here regardless on TP because my job is slow and boring as hell. I'll be here if Lebron goes to Cleveland or if he stays, and I'll still care about my team the same amount regardless as well. Sports are sports, something fun to talk and speculate about. I won't be crying in my cheerios if he leaves.

    If he is teetering towards either team having idiots outside of his house isnt going to increase his likelyhood of wanting to play for the Cavs...

    Idiots are probably convincing him Miami still looks good.

    That doesn't excuse the crazies showing up to the man's house and camping out. He's not even there.

    He hasn't even MET with any team other than the Heat. And the reporters say he doesn't plan to do that before announcing his decision.

    You can re-sign with the organization you've been a part of, even if you haven't met them. You know where they stand. You know what they've got planned for you. You don't sign up with some new team (including a team you haven't played for in 5 years) completely sight-unseen.

    I mean, come on. How obvious can it get.

    Seriously. Most of us have been fans since either early childhood or since the team entered the league.

    Any chance some in Brons circle are purposely throwing gas on him going home..just to get the City crazy and maybe guilt Lebron into choosing Cleveland. The more I read..the more I see its his posse that most benefits him going back..not so much Lebron.

    Why would anyone close to him want him playing for an owner that called him a coward..and a poor role model for kids.

    I lol at the comparison to jets and pats fans. That screams nothing but pure jealousy and umadbro. Ironic that the 2 biggest heat haters that regularly post on this thread are fans of the trashknicks. I take the Heat with only wade, bosh and lebrons cap space over the Knicks WITH Melo any day of the week and twice on sundays. You have to love how just because youre a fan of a successful team, all the fans of the first and second round exit teams crawl out of their holes and cry "bandwagon" at the sign of any support the team gets. You dont know how long anyone has been a fan. I never called pats fans bandwagon fans, Even in the early 2000s. Just sit down and enjoy staying in the back seat where you belong. ..... PS. If the phins won a superbowl this season, wed all be "bandwagon fans" to most of the world.

    Can you believe LeBron would troll the city of Cleveland like that? I mean, meeting with ONLY Pat Riley, saying absolutely nothing to anyone about this whole process. What kind of a horrible human being would lead a city on like that only to not go there? Horrible.

    That LeBron signing with the Cavs line at 5dimes was actually -530 at one point.

    My god I wish I had a 5dimes account.

    Jason Lieser of the Palm Beach Post, who is in Vegas posted a picture of the banners outside of the gym where LBJ's camp is being held. Every one of them shows him in a Heat jersey

    I can't believe Melo is coming to Miami BUT

    Is anyone else finding his waiting on Lebron for his decision curious?

    All I know is...Melo aint signed nothing yet. And..I wouldnt put it past Riley to figure out how to bring Melo to Miami to join the other 3. If your a Knicks fan..I wouldnt be cheering the demise of the Heat .

    True dat. I consider Rich Paul (or Rick, or whatever the **** his name is) to be acting out of pure ego and little actual interest in LeBron's well-being, his public image, and his career.

    He is the proverbial fly in the ointment.

    Hey...Jalen Rose did call it months ago and he has been accurate in the past. He's the one guy who if he said "I hear Lebron is going to Cleveland" I'd believe it.

    Yes...very. Something else is going on, imo. I think it's more likely to be a S&T or two, or maybe a FA whose name hasn't been spread around.

    It seems like LeBron is buying time or stretching this out for some reason. There was a Cleveland radio guy (with 47k Twitter followers) who reported that Riley asked LeBron to give him one more night before LBJ made his decision. It has to be something, right? Some other roster move? What other reason is there for him to drag this out?

    Lebron, Wade and Bosh all sign vet minimum one year contracts. We sign Melo, Drew Bledsoe and Deng. I can dream...


    Edit: Eric Bledsoe, leaving that typo because Drew Bledsoe on the Heat would be epic hilarity.
