Miami Heat 2015 Offseason thread: Reload, Retool, and most importantly, Recover

[HendriX]

Brehs, am I the only one dreading the idea of Lebron winning in Cleveland? From an unbiased point of view, I still have the Warriors winning but of course the Cavs still have a shot. I can't stomach LeWentBackToHisSlaveMaster winning a 'chip for that owner.

I'd rather him winning that shiit here breh.. but it is what is..I'm not gonna hate on him just for switching teams or winning. Thats just me tho

We would be no different than that cowardly fakkit he went back to..still bothers me that he left tho.
I mean this Cavs team without Love is no better than the Heat with Gawdside, Dragic and a healthy Bosh..

Whats up with these rumours that have Flash going to this shythole city cleveland ?

bullshyt offseason gossip.

 

[WaddupDoe!]

hopefully next season we are talking about Stan the man, Big Shot Bosh, Wade, & the Dragon giving nikkas that work.

I'm not particularly upset that he left Miami. I just feel like he sold himself out going back to that owner.

In the words of Jim Brown, going back to play for and make money for that owner wouldn't have even crossed his mind. It would never have even been considered. There's a lack of real nikkas in today's athletes. Much like how Brown said he wouldn't have called Kobe during Civil Rights meetings between Ali, X, etc, Bron wouldn't of gotten that call either. Very telling of one's character imo.

Simple thing, but just passing out of the double for the shot or repost is really important to Whiteside's growth. Glad to see them work on that. Some shyt you don't have time for during the season.

I know why he didn't rack up that many assists last year. they weren't running any plays for him or hardly throwing the ball into the post even when he had great position. and he's a greedy scorer(which is a good thing) so when he got his hands on the ball, oh he was gonna get a shot up. he shouldn't have to worry about that next season tho, looks like he will be more of a priority on offense.

they need to also have the point guards in there learning how to make a post pass, we weren't very good at that last season.

Interesting notes from LeBatard

▪ It was LeBron James, not Wade, who first made real the possible paradigm shift with three superstars playing together in Miami. James broached the subject during free agency in 2010, at a secret meeting he called in Cleveland with Bosh and Wade. To that point, Wade had been relaying to Heat management that there was no way James would go for the idea of playing in Miami.

▪ It was Wade, not James, who by himself kept Udonis Haslem in Miami. Wade went to James with the idea of taking less money to include Haslem. James refused. The Heat couldn’t figure out a way to make a competitive offer to Haslem within salary-cap constraints until Wade volunteered to take that salary hit alone. It is why Wade was paid millions less than Bosh and James — one of the sacrifices Wade would make on behalf of team that he evidently would now like reimbursed.

Wade could have had a max deal in 2010 if he wanted one, he choose winning instead

And he won now it's time to pay the man. nikka brought us 3 chips

no one person won those championships. every player on those teams from 2010-2014 took pay cuts. every last one of them, including UD twice. and they ALL took pay cuts for selfish reasons...because they wanted to win rings period.


they will "pay him" and they will pay him more than any other "contender" could. but they won't/shouldn't pay him where it puts the immediate future and any chances to win in jeopardy. that would be bad business.

Listening to the Ticket and the whole "I felt uncomfortable being in the same room as Riley" at Wade's wedding now makes sense @TheNig story below

So supposedly LeBron was standing in the room pretty aloof avoiding all the Heat executives, Zo walked over looked him in the eye, asked him if he saw those men over there (Riley and crew), Bron said yea, Zo told him to go over there and pay his respects

I know Battier is on there now, did he say that or was it from Lebatard?

Zo giving Lebron that stern, fatherly tough love that he's desperately needed
