Miami should offer Jordan Hill 3 years but the third year the player option for 16 mill ... 4 mill per year... Is this a realistic deal he can take ???

I wonder what would happen if LeBron told Miami "I'll re-sign but only if you sign Bosh and Melo" but I'd rather not play with Wade any more. They'd HAVE to let Wade go right?

If you know anything about Lebron and Wade's relationship, you know he would never do that. Believe it or not, these two are legit friends, not just hanging together at the club friends. They along with Melo used to hang out in each other's rooms late night games of cards during the 2004 Olympics. They've been through too much for Lebrn to do Wade like that.

If anything, he would leave himself, but not without consulting Wade, and making his intentions known.

I think on those occasions, no matter who you are, Riley would tell you to go f' yourself. You can talk to Riley, make suggestions and depending on your importance even slight demands. But I could not see anybody pushing Riley around like that.

Aside of the fact that this wouldn't happen and despite Wade's downfall, Wade has too much of a status for us to just dump him like that.

Interesting. I think the only way he wouldn't do it is if they assured Wade they would give him the same guaranteed money he was going to make but over a longer number of years. He is already going to take a major paycut, most likely close to 50% or so.

50% would put him in the 9.5 million range, although Wade is a team player, he won't let it drop that far and could still possibly receive more in the open market.

Like I said though, Riley is not a push-over in the management department like 90% of the GMs and/or presidents in the league are.

I can't believe players who already got paid big time and who earn a ton of money off the court could actually consider whether to take 10 or 15 mil per year if former considerably increased their title chances. It's a no brainer. F*ck those 20 mil per 4 years, seriously.

Yeah, but with what, $61 million in cap space, if LeBron wants the max, that leaves $39 million or so for Bosh, Wade and Haslem. Assuming Bosh gets close to 15, and Haslem gets close to 2, Wade can't get TOO much more if they want to get a couple of decent free agents and then use the MLE. Wade certainly doesn't deserve Bosh money at this point does he?

Our defenders are stupid and weak as f***. We're lucky Howard is saving our a**, we should've lost 3-0 in regulation with the chances we gave them.

Lmao this team was really bad offensively and defensively


Atleast we made it further than Spain, Italy and England


But man in every game the other team always has possession the most... Things like 60-40


We would have gotten embarrassed by Argentina if we advanced anyway lol

They need to shape up though.... Badly

Well, Altidore's injury was a big part of that. If Dempsey is playing behind Altidore and Bradley is playing behind him, possession probably would've been a lot different, no?
