I do not know where is this coming from.

There is no point in me suggesting names now because I will be accused of using the power of hindsight.

FAIL!

He said put up or shut up;

I guess you chose shut up.

You moron, you literally did accuse me of using hindsight.

That's why there is no point naming names to him (which is what I said)

You don't matter at all so I can throw out names to you because you don't know anything about anything.

If he asked for the whole MLE I would have said no.

because you would already have signed Carmelo with the money we saved by not signing Brian Grant in 1868.

That makes no sense as usual. And no I would have tried to sign someone else.

The Nets just signed Gerald Green for nothing

and they were able to because of his history in the NBA. He can in originally with high hopes and failed.

Ummm yeah that's the point. They go him for nothing. We couldn't have done that too? If we amnestied Miller we could have taken a lot of chances on several guys. Some would work and some wouldn't.

Knicks got JR Smith for LESS than half the MLE and got Lin and Novak for the minimum earlier in the year.

JR Smith was playing in china and not able to join us when we were looking. When he became available we didn't have the money he wanted. We did enquire.

Again that's the point. Some teams saved money for the guys who would be able to sign later in the year. We could have done that too. He got less than half the MLE

Lin was cut after an uninspiring year last year.

Miller was pretty uninspiring too, what's your point? (Unlike Smith or Green I wasn't really interested in Lin to be honest, he did prove pretty much everyone wrong)

Novak - is just JJ or MM without the rest of MM's fine game. He's jason Kapono or the like. I think you'll find him ineffective in the playoffs as we'll just cover his 3 point shot.

See this is where if you actually watched basketball it would help. The difference is that Novak can play the 4 instead of 2/3

If Miller or Jones was a 4 that would fit our team a lot better. That's my point. Our two players play the 2/3 and are gonna play close to 40 mins a game in the playoffs. That leaves very few minutes for Miller, Battier and Jones.

That is part of what makes it an inefficient use of resources. Why do we need 3 backups for Lebron and Wade when they play the whole game?

And again Novak makes the minimum.

Interesting how you use hindsight all the time to justify yourself. You haven't mentioned any of the hundreds of players picked up by teams that have done nothing just 3 or 4 who have. It's like quoting an undrafted player who made it big and saying how poor the Heat are at drafting because they didn't pick him (which you've also done).

I could keep going but why?

I ask myself the same question when I see your wall to wall drivel.[/quote]

That's literally why I told Bballfreak I didn't want to name names to him. I could have gone team by team and picked out several more players. The Knicks just happened to be on TV so I mentioned 3 guys on their team (all who make less than the MLE combined)

I'm not saying I would have signed a bunch of all-stars (and certainly not Lin). I'm just saying that I have faith that our front office could have done better with the MLE than Miller/Battier. They could have gotten some combination of guys (specifically who didn't all backup our two best players who are going to play most of the game)

I pointed out that those articles came out before the new CBA was agreed upon but then it was changed.

again You misunderstand English. The CBA wasn't agreed at the time you were talking about - it was being negotiated. Therefore it wasn't changed. You just cherry picked a suggestion to suit your Miller hate.

What I hate? I like Miller, I hate his contract. Please get that through your head.

And once again I'm not cherry picking anything. The other poster brought up those articles. I was reminding him that those articles were based on a CBA that ended up not matching the final CBA.

You literally could not be more wrong in your comprehension. I'm the one saying the CBA wasn't agreed on. You're agreeing with me but you're too dumb to realize that you are.

the CBA was thought to be much harsher on tax teams then it ended up being.

The CBA wasn't out again you're using something that never existed apart from in your head as a fact. You can only talk about the previous CBA and the new one. Miller NEVER HAD TO BE amnestied as you stated several times.

No please get someone to read for you. You can't read.

I am the one saying that those articles were based on a CBA that never existed. That is MY point. You are agreeing with me.

I was saying those articles (which the other poster brought up) were based on the harsher CBA that people thought was going to be agreed to. That's what those articles were about. I did NOT write those articles. Do you want me to draw you a picture?

Hmmm I wonder why you would cut that part out?

The bit where you were comparing yourself to the whole Heat administration and you being MORE perfect than them but not perfect.

Yeah the part that proves you completely wrong. You're trying to mislead people like you always do (such as you're "WAAAAH Greenhat is working with others to get me banned! I'm not gonna post anymore WAAAAA!")

You cut the part out where I go completely against how you characterize me.

And again you misunderstand a basic sentence. I have NEVER said I was more perfect of even better than the Heat front office. All I said is that they aren't perfect and have made mistakes. I say that only because simple minded people like you make the logical fallacy of appealing to an authority.

Chalmers would have signed for 3 yrs 12m.

Again you state fact when it's just supposition. I don't think that Rio would have signed at that for any other team it was to stay with the Heat that he did that and he did it in a way that the Heat COULD sign other players - the ones you wouldn't have signed even though you wouldn't have had the money to do it.

It IS A FACT. Chalmers DID sign for 3yrs 12m. That's not supposition. It is literally a FACT

I gave him the EXACT SAME amount, I just structured it differently.

You say he did that in a way so that the HEAT could sign other players. You're COMPLETELY WRONG (as usual)

Who are these other players we signed because of Chalmers signing for 3 yrs 12m? And again that is EXACTLY THE SAME contract I said he would sign for.

You were the person who said "why would he sign for a measly 3yr 12m?". But that IS WHAT HE SIGNED FOR. You are wrong again.
