I think the Heat's fault was first saying they would keep Mike, then letting him go. And Lebron saw Wade's rapid decline. Those 2 things together I think ultimately will push Lebron to leave the Heat (if he does).

a lot of posters here try to brush that off(arison cutting miller) but it obviously was a BIG deal to lebron


I think the bigger deal was Wade's decline. He came to play with 2 other stars. But him seeing the Heat accomodating Wade and rested him for 1/4 o f the season and he still bombed in the Finals must have pissed Lebron off. Numerous reports said he was extremely frustrated.

And he was basically a one man show for most of the season. He didn't come to Miami to be a one man show.

IF Wade was healthy (at least 20+/5/5 every game), Lebron would have signed ASAP.



Begone Knick.

You can only wish you had an SG shooting 55%+ let alone all the assists, steals, blocks, rebounds etc...

No question.

At this point, Wade can't grind it out with him for an 82 game season OR the Finals.

Still not sold on Lebron leaving though, maybe something short term?

Of course it was a big deal.

Arison and Riley sold LeBron, Wade, Bosh, Miller, Haslem, Battier, Ray Allen, Birdman, Rashard, James Jones, etc. on coming to Miami for lesser pay and smaller roles than they could have elsewhere. They asked all of these guys to sacrifice money to win.

Then when it was time for Arison (net worth of $6 billion) to sacrifice relative chump change to keep non-producing players, he overruled Riley (who repeatedly said he didn't want to amnesty Miller) and counted his money. He cut a great teammate, a clutch performer, a guy who took less to come to Miami, and a guy LeBron personally recruited to the team for no reason other than to save himself less money than the Big 3 sacrificed. That **** doesn't fly. I think any trust and loyalty LeBron may have felt toward Arison and the Heat went out the window with that move.

Lets see if Riley has the "guts" to tell Lebron and Rich Paul they need to give the team an answer by a certain date or Miami is moving on w/o him.

Quite ironic to call them out for complaining about the same things (successful team, not recruiting, etc) that this subforum is currently having a meltdown over lol

Our front office and sometimes even fans try to build a team with analytics, and that has always been wrong. I remember some fans here said Miller barely made an impact on the first three rounds of the playoffs his last time here and that it doesn't matter if he's here or not, blah blah blah.

Well, Lebron James likes him, and wants him on his team. so it certainly does matter.

Indiana Pacers screwed themselves with analytics by replacing Tyler and Granger with Scola and Turner, and now we screwed ourselves with analytics.

Because we lost the NBA FINALS.

Amazing huh?

Lebron wants it to be easy. He claims to be a competitor, but he wants an ez pass to the title every year.

It's what we signed up for when we got LeBron and his band of sycophants.
