Wut da blood clot??: The Official Miami Heat 2015-16 Offseason Thread

[SadimirPutin]

I was in here a couple days ago talking about the cult of Pat Riley and yall had the machetes out for me, telling me I was crazy.....

Now look at the situation.......

 

[Mirin4rmfar]

What's up with people acting we didn't hit on two draft picks? Wade at his current state was not going to push this team over the edge.

Josh Richardson has shown he can play lock down defense and shoot and drive. He is a better with Dragic than Wade because he can shoot. If Bosh is healthy this a Damn good starting five.

Dragic, Josh Richardson, Winslow, Josh and Whiteside.

Match Tyler Johnson, bring in Deon Waiters (1 year deal), Terrance Jones (1 year deal).

You got coaches like the hawks and Celtics making it work with less talent.

This will be a much more up tempo offense without Wade

In my opinion..he plays for Chicago for a year and then bounces to Cleveland when the caps goes up a few million dollars more.

That's the one thing that I'm excited about....at least Dragic will be used correctly....that couldn't happen with Wade here

I hope we match bumpys contract... Resign Gerald, add jones, Willie reed, and a few other cats that couldn't make other rosters..we gotta keep UD

We knew this was gonna happen eventually

As much as I love wade I can see him starting to fall off anyways

But man this seemed like some petty shyt

But wasn't like this team was really gonna be a title contender next season

 

[Mr. Brown]

I wish they would've been able to work something out with TJ before he signed the offer sheet. Same money and years, just distributed better. I don't know if they can match. Those last 2 years are too high unless he turns into something close to a star, which I don't see happening

It wasn't Wade fault that Dragic wasn't used correctly. Dragic is the pg with elite skills. Nobody should have to tell him to take over the offense.

Quote from Riley

“SADDDDDDD!!!! SO saddddddd! I will never forget the sixth game in Dallas in 2006. DW rebounded the ball, and threw it to the heavens and the Heat universe was perfect for that moment. Our first world championship. Our universe is not perfect today. It will be fraught with anger, judgment, blame instead of THANK YOU!!! Ten years ago. Ten years older. Ten years wiser. Ten years changed. All of us. Dwyane had a choice, and he made it. He went home. Bad, bad summer for us. But there will be another 10 years, and it will be someone or something else in 2026. Move on with no blood or tears. Just thanks. I truly loved Dwyane, but families grow, change and get on with another life. He will always be a part of us. ALWAYS! And no more bruises and enough fighting. Let’s just fly above it if we can and never forget. I feel his pain and pride for what pushed him over the ledge. Been there. Forever, for always, your coach I will be. FOREVER!”

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...

LoL@ Wade gonna fell off. We lost our best scorer and playmaker. He averaged 21.4 points per game in the playoffs. Let's not act like Pat and take Wade for granted. The new team is going to take a while to build up without its best player. With Wade gone, Bosh has the team future in his hands. If he comes back, we will be a decent team. Bosh retire means we will have money but the Heat are going to be in the bottom of its conference. No big time FA isn't going to come here if we don't show that we can be competitive.

Can't believe he gone it just hit me
