At least Cleveland management had a reason to be salty, Miami got tons of revenue, relevance and two championships over the last 4 years and we're supposed to feel sorry for some cac billionaire who bragged about him taking a paycut?
I don't even give a fukk about Cleveland either breh. Unless he cheated the process some way he don't owe them shyt. nikka is a free agent he don't even have to play basketball at that point he could just retire

And you LeBron apologists fakkits swear up and down you don't understand why he gets hate. The nikka is a bytch point blank and this is just the latest example.


Oh well. This couldn't have happened to a better guy and organizat
:Flabbynsickriles:
The man exercised his right as a free agent. No reason to hate him.

Like i said many times before, as a long time heat fan if Alonzo Mourning could leave us for the Nets after we paid him all this money while he was sick i dont put it past any player to leave when they are a free agent, PERIOD.

You're really going to sit up here, as a Heat fan nonetheless, and attempt to make the parallel of someone who came to Wade County to ride coattails, literally cramped up when shyt got too hot in a pivotal game, to someone like ZO who left it all out there for your team :smh:?

AGAIN, just like with the decision, people don't have a problem that he exercise his right to leave as a free agent, but it's the manner in which he left. Not returning calls, texts, and emails, and secretly telling another team to clear the necessary cap space for you. All he had to do is tell the Heat brass that he was leaving and they wouldn't have been left scrambling and fighting for leftovers in the free agent market. It's always some colluding & shady bullshyt going on with him, and it's no surprise that the bytchassness rears its ugly head often when the lights are the brightest.

But again, Riley knew what he was dealing with in the first place hence why he was in MIA in the first place, so he got what he had coming to him..

But dude what if he didnt know what he wanted to do yet and wanted to clear his mind without getting influenced by others?

Do teams tell players when they are shopping them or about to cut them? It's a cut throat business and it's about time players do some of the throat cutting too. Dont get me wrong I'm mad he left but i understand that the man dont owe us sh!t.
My approach is "thanks for the great times but here on out you're just another opponent. Best of luck but you are now one of THEM" :salute:
Zo is one of my favorite players of all time. You all in here laugh when i say this but i'll take Zo in his prime over Shaq in his prime all day but thats another discussion so we wont waste time on it. But say what you want about ZO but when it was time to do what is best for him or the franchise that took care of him, ZO decided to take the money and go to New Jersey and try to catch a championship with Jason Kidd and the Nets. We dont know if Zo would have came back had we not gotten Shaq and Wade. YOU cannot deny this.

I love Zo like a brother for all his done for the franchise, for the community in south Florida (he does a LOT for the inner city) and even things he done for my home country (Haiti). But i'm not blind nor stupid, doggy. Dude bolted and went to the Nets, then the Raptors. He sees us get Shaq and Wade and we're knocking on the Finals door and all the sudden he wants back in. Again, YOU CANNOT DENY THIS because that is the exact sequence it happened in.

Thats just a winners mentality/killer instincts. He's not interested in making friends or being polite. Truly great players are all a$$holes. They will step on anyone to get what they want. If you can't relate to that then you just don't have champion genetics... :troll: :mjpls:

Well there's two types of a$$holes, those who are upfront about it and those who are passive-aggressive. No one likes a passive-aggressive a$$hole because they're fake, and Bron was looking real passive aggressive in this situation :sas2:
