why would he accept a one year deal?
So we can resign Whiteside and he can sign a bigger deal when the TV money starts coming in
#chessnotcheckers
Bosh could be on the move.
I love Chris but you guys know damn well I've alway loved LMA's game better.
I could see them offering CB4 (CB1) and fillers for sign-and-Trade for LMA. That way
Everyone's happy.
- LMA gets his 5th year as we get his bird rights
- LMA gets to hang out on South Beach since he complains Portland is boring
- Blazers get SOMETHING in return
- Wade gets his money now and doesnt have to wait for help
Again this is a slingshot guys but who know
WaddupDoe!
Steez.
Wade is Byke!
Red OctoberDGawd is back
Ready for October brehs
per Albert Random, the salary cap guru, the 1 year deal gives heat flexibility to resign Whiteside(close to max), Wade, and another FA

Wonder who that other FA is. Does this take us out of the LA sweepstakes too?

Miami appears to be close to signing free agent combo guard J.J. Barea, which probably means the team is close to making a trade.
The Heat also might be making a move on former Lakers forward Carlos Boozer, according to an ESPN report.

TNT reported Wednesday that Barea is “leaning toward” signing with the Heat, who already have Shabazz Napier and Mario Chalmers as possible back-ups to Goran Dragic. Not only would one of them have few minutes available, but Miami already is at roster capacity unless it makes some cuts or trades.
Moving Chalmers’ $4.3 million salary would help alleviate the luxury tax burden on the Heat.
In the same way, Boozer signing cheaply could make the team more inclined to deal Chris Andersen and his $5 million salary. Chalmers and Andersen each have one year left on their contracts.
Barea, 31, is a nine-year veteran who averaged 7.5 points and 3.4 assists in 17.7 minutes per game for Dallas last season. He shot just 42 percent, including 32.3 percent on 3-pointers.
Boozer turns 34 early next season, but is younger than Andersen at 37. He would be a downgrade defensively, but averaged 17.8 points per 36 minutes with the Lakers last year.
@ both those names.

no, but it makes it a harder. I don't think the LA shyt is anything. don't worry about that.
as far as the FA next season, they would have enough to almost afford anyone, but I think Durant is a pipe dream. and frankly, there aren't any game changers in 2016 after him. thats why I didn't understand Riley wanting to wait until then to do something

I'd prefer we go after LMA right NOW rather than wait and hope Durant comeMight be why Riley wants LA.
If Riley get KD here next season tho.
