Riley needs to retire so someone can fire Spolestra then the franchise can officially start a new era.

fukk no, why trade one of your lone assets for a rental? Russ is a great player but I don't trust his game past 30.
Exactly how I feel. His game is basically entirely reliant on athleticism. Don't know what's there when that starts to go. Dwyane was similar but he was a lot craftier.

I'll always be disappointed Wade never really worked on his 3 point shot enough for it to be a reliable weapon as he got older. Would've made his pairings with Lebron and Dragic even better

Well if that's how you guys feel about Westbrook (and not saying I disagree). Don't be surprised when we go whale hunting in a canoe again next Summer for Westbrook

This will sound weird but I respect Riley for not giving in and letting him walk...and I don't agree that the Heat owed Wade...

He chose to take less for 2 rings cuz that's the only way it would have happened that's not Rileys fault.

Wade could have said no and took the max..I don't blame em for wade being underpaid...that's as much wades fault as there's....I think he's gonna fall off sooner than later might as well reload now instead of delaying the inevitable...

That's my point. We weren't even in title contention so he should have just gotten his money for his last hurrah while he teaches our young future.

This season is pretty much shot to hell. No pick, no attractive free agents, we've just taken a huge blow to how we're perceived by other FA, we lost our mentor to our young bucks, and our franchise center is looking at this buffoonery like :what:

I don't mind sucking but it's not even for a reason.



Really? Did you hear how Winslow revered Wade? We lost our best player and the guy who was taking our two young perimeter players under his wing.

And again, people keep sleeping on this but Whiteside has had a HOST OF NAGGING INJURIES FOR THE TWO YEARS HE'S PLAYED WITH US. LOWER BODY INJURIES AND MINIMAL CONTACT INJURIES FOR A JUMP-HAPPY 7 FOOTER WHO LOVES TO JUMP ON BOTH OFFENSE AND DEFENSE.

Are you dudes really ready to watch Reed start? :jbhmm:
I just don't understand how folks can downplay all of this...

NBA free agent tracker: Follow all the signings

:mjlol:

Look at what's left out there, brehs. I hope we just go for the fukkery route and sign dudes who will either suck but do funny stuff or who will suck and make an exciting play or two :yeshrug:

I'm hoping for 30 or so wins
James Michael Mcadoo and Terrence Jones are a couple young athletic front court guys I'd be interested in. It would be nice to bring Ian Clark back, especially if TJ doesn't come back

Not to mention Wade was the only guy who would actually pass Whiteside the ball at all. When he was off the floor, Whiteside never saw the ball. He was the 5th least passed to player in the league last year, and with no good playmakers out here, how is that gonna get better?

We can sign players from the D-League in a one year deal. We are going to be in a rebuilding mode for years to come. That's what Pat may have to do to build up a max contract for a top FA. I have said earlier the team doesn't need to sign any NBA players. Go cheap and build the team through the draft.
