Wade's. That's the way we feel down here. This is Wade's House. He brought us our first championship. This is Miami-Wade County. We don't care what the rest of the country thinks, that's how we feel.

All Imma say is they better fucking re-sign Haslem!!! Guy is a fucking work horse!!!

Players will come over for the minimum. Your allowed to exceed the cap in that manner. I think our draft picks Pittmann and Butler can be placed in there, lets see how they do in the Summer League.

Definitely. Haslem is the heart of our team. I feel he encompasses the city since he is from down here. He's special to me in the same way that Fischer is to the Lakers fan. Maybe you can get someone better for the money, but for everything's he's done you don't want to get rid of him, that's how most fans feel. I know he's gonna sacrifice his pay for another season. Beasley can GTFO though.

In Riley We Trust. Every step of the off season we've been doubted. Riley assembled a championship team with less. There was doubt we could clear the cap. There was doubt we could resign Wade. There was doubt we could get a top tier FA. There was doubt we could get LeBron.

Now there is doubt he can fill the roster, that the big 3 can play together and win a championship. The way I feel is that I trust Riley and I have to feel comfortable knowing he is running the Heat organization.

I should add the three are friends, and played on Team USA, and the All Star team. Them playing together is not going to be something alien to them.

I saw that too. He was holding it back big time.

Wade/LeBron/Bosh - $48m combined
James Jones buyout - $1.5m
Mario Chalmers - $847k
8 cap holds - $3.8m

= 1 x $3.9m player

Now, if the big 3 each took $15m, that would be 1 x $6.9m player. You can play around with the cap holds. You can sign any player for their respective minimum and exceed the cap.

No, just Beasley. Mario Chalmers is on the book for $847k. Beasley at $5M.

Thanks to all the well wishers!

I cant wait to see them not win a championship.


It seems like such a joke how they can do this. I loved how lebron tried to compare pippen and rodman to bosh and wade. This dude is such a joke. Having a hour long special to tell where hes going.

[onepuff]

I can't wait for the #1 Heat vs. #8 Cavs first round playoff series next year. Gonna be a riot in Cleveland!!! This is almost as bad as Art Modell taking the Browns to Baltimore. LeGone better stay his ass in the hotel room when he comes to Cleveland. I don't hate him for leaving but he's got no respect anymore. Took the easy route. Nothing worth winning is easy.

[Gnnr]

Bring on the Haters! We're used to it with The Canes.

So which one is it? Is it too easy and unfair and this is an automatic championship or is it impossible for these three to play together and we are gonna fail. Please, haters, come to a decision and stay consistent here.

[ALTRNTV]

Beasley was traded to the Wolves for 2011 draft picks.

with the West. The Heat team will win a title, just not next season.

AkademikONE, let me warn you we have some ignant MoFos down here (yes IGnant). You know who the regular, pre-bandwagon fans are from the past like 4 years of NBA threads we've had. You know who the regulars are. The true and knowledgeable NBA fans that are also Heat fans, we aren't claiming shit. We know that if it comes down to going up against LA it wouldn't be a walk in the park. So I aint even going to act like this is an instant ring or whatever.

Game recognize game.

haha at dan gilbert - he guarantees an nba championship? has the cavs ever won a championship? this makes me think lebron actually made a good move to leave the cavs having a douchebag like that as a part owner..

Douchebag are you serious? Do you know what LeBron James actually did to that team. First and foremost, last year he just gave up on them in the playoffs. Secondly, Cavs management catered to this guys ever whim to the point were people criticized them for doing that. Most importantly, he never informed the Cavs his decision until they heard it on his special leaving them screwed to sign other players with basically no time left. Yes, the owner who let Lebron run the team for 4 years is the total douche.

[Gnnr]

People, lets just make fun of the situation and enjoy it. That's what I'm doing. Humor is the way I deal with most things, so I'm gonna post up the funny images I find about this. The sigs and avatars on RealGM are hilarious.

[implayaz9]

Report is coming from KSFY TV in Sioux Falls, SD. No one else has confirmed it.



Think he can shoot?

[articdragon192]

I'm really curious as to what Cleveland is going to do now with all the money it was willing to pay Lebron.

[BOROSUN]

i hate to see this guy retire...


i hope he recovers 100% or even 90% this summer. he's always welcomed back to the knicks..

Oh, and here I was getting excited...

let me give 5 reasons why Boston took us to game 7?
1. Kobe wasn't 100%
2. Bynum was in leg pain
3. Vujacic was injured
4. Lakers were frustrated because of game 4 and 5 lose
5. And Artest wasn't in his D game........

Oh and another thing, the ref were calling stupid calls not on just the Lakers, But for the Celtics as well and you know that's the true

I agreed with you 100% Rondo is way to damn quick for the heat??????????

Don't forget about Orlando.

Shaq, What the hell. I'm pretty sure the Lakers and Lakers fans don't want Shaq on the team, especially when he left us for Miami.

He's a big time Bandwagon and team Hooper!!!

[fliprayzin240sx]

WTF is Dan Gilbert smoking?!?! Did he have a fucking aneurysm after seeing Lebron jump ship? How the fuck are you gonna guarantee the Cavs are gonna win a ring before Lebron? Money in the bank?!?! As much as I fucking LOATHE Lebron, I dont see them making the playoffs at all without him. I'd be fucking surprised if they fill that void and make .500.

This times infinity.

I find it hilarious how the media and A LOT of people have pretty much written off the idea of the defending champ Lakers, the Celtics, or the Magic winning the championship next year. What a joke...

Guys, unless you guys know something that I don't know or some changes were made this offseason I don't think Miami could sign Mike Miller, J.J Reddick, Jason Kapono or any other exceptionally good veteran shooter in the league. The Heat will not have the midlevel exception available to them this offseason so they are screwed. They will likely have to offer minimum salary deals to other free agents to fill out their roster unless Mike Miller is willing to take a major pay cut to chase a ring and I'm talking veteran minimum but hey stranger things have happened this offseason.

[ALTRNTV]

Mike Miller will be a Miami Heat.
