Miami Heat-wagon thread

[Lockyer24]

Jeez with LeBron going to Cavs and Bosh to Rockets we sure are chasing the other big FAs hard!!

 

[fidstar]

He's on 2yrs/4.2mil with a player option.

He's 31 and injury prone.

He averaged 3pts on 27% fg and 27% 3pt in the post season.

I'd say he's done a fine job.

though he did get votes in DPY award...

Big Day today with the meeting between Lebron and Riley! I am still quietly confident that Riley can pull it all togethor.

If it all does go pear shaped I hope we get out the tank wagon for a season to help the rebuild process, no point in signing more mid range players and finishing 8th in the East

So did James Harden...........................

Congratulations for becoming an uncle in 9 months. I hope she likes her $250k a year support package that comes standard with any NBA pregnancy.

Sheridanhoops any good? They're saying LeBron has made his decision and will head back to Cleveland to team up with Kyrie Irving.

 

[peternorth]

Might need to find a new team guys.

He's the only person who didn't vote LBJ first team all NBA. Find it hard to believe he'd have the Lebron scoop after that.

Are you guys prepped and ready? I got myself one just to join in on the festivities

I was almost convinced yesterday that LeBron would jump to Cleveland, just a couple things have tilted in Miamis favour in my opinion. He didn't even meet with the Cavs, you'd think if you were jumping to a new team you'd at least face to face meet with the coach, GM and owner, right? And two Wades been dagging around him the last couple days, hopping on planes with him and being at LeBrons basketball camp and such, I think he's staying

 

[Lockyer24]

Correct

To be honest if he had done that it would probably be an even higher chance that he'd be staying with the Heat

Seeing him in person would bring all those memories flooding back.

 

[SuperCats9]

I reckon he's off to Cleveland. He would create a great partnership with Irving,

 

[Freo Shark]

He must be off to the Cavs.
Surely he cant troll the Cavs a second time
They will need the National Guard to watch his house.

 

[Lockyer24]

Wow. Did not see that coming...

Thread needs new name.

 

[Lockyer24]

It was a privilege. But **** I'm looking forward to being a normal organization again.

Chris Bosh is reported to be finalising an agreement to stay in Miami on a 5 year, $118 million deal.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Ouch. Oh well, 2 championships.

Would have thought

 

[Bobber]

Rapt Bosh is staying, means we won't be Tanking next season!


I am abit surprised about Lebron, obviously totally under estimated the go home factor, ah well, good on him, he deserves to be happy and enjoy his basketball

 

[SuperCats9]

I think he wants to win a championship for his home town, probably felt guilty for leaving in search of NBA rings, he now has 2 so thought it was the right time to go home, can't blame him and the Heat shouldn't really be that upset, he delivered you guys 4 consecutive NBA finals appearances, he's always been a cavs man deep down.

Spot on. We got 4 of his prime years. Never could have imagined that would happen. His 2 rings will always have a Heat logo too

 

[Lockyer24]

Hopefully we can pick up Deng now...not that I've ever been much of a fan. Need strengthening at the two spot to cover Wade during his spells too. I'd still also love to see better rebounders on the team...Humphries?
