what?

[WiseOwlWins]

I told u guys, he's gone. Wades decline, miller amnesty, dumb and dumber (Cole chalmers) and the ring leader spobot, are the reasons why he is headed to Cleveland,

Taking Allen with him and miller I see.

What do we get? Hopefully wiggins but I doubt it lol. Cavs have the space to sign him outright.

4 straight finals completely destroys anything you just said in this posts.

Many newer fans are acting like sophomore girls. You have no control over what LeBron, Bosh, Wade, Melo do.
Fan up, and act like the Miami organization existed before James arrived. Riley has plans: Lebron comes back with better team support or Riley is retooling. One or the other and we have no control. Just accept it for what it is, buckle in and ride the roller coaster.

All of this come's down to Dwyane Wade.

He is a shell of himself from 2009.

No Dwyane means Lebron, Bosh, and Melo

Unfortunately, Lebron can't tell Riles to not sign Wade because A. They're very good friends B. Miami wouldn't betray dwyane

It's frustrating.

there's no point to a S&T, the contract is the same regardless. at the very least, that part of that report is incorrect

Well, there's the difference in the raises (4.5% vs. 7.5%) and the extra year (although on a short deal, which LeBron supposedly wants, that doesn't matter).

nope, not anymore. that was the old CBA. those differences no longer exist in the new CBA. it was an anti-Heat change they made

Not true. the % changed from 10.5 to 7.5% for Bird contracts, but you can still give bigger raises on a Bird rights contract.

...but not in a sign-and-trade

92. Why would teams or players want to do a sign-and-trade?

Teams benefit because they can get something in return for players they would otherwise lose to free agency. For players the benefits are limited. Under previous CBAs a player who qualified could receive a full Bird contract and go to the team of his choice, which encouraged the player to seek a sign-and-trade once he decided to play elsewhere. Under the current CBA a player receives the same contract via sign-and-trade (four years, 4.5% raises) that he could get by signing with his new team directly, and can receive a larger Bird contract only if he stays with his previous team. In addition, it is much simpler for the player to sign directly with his new team, as a sign-and-trade has to be agreed to by three parties rather than two. A player is really only forced to seek a sign-and-trade if he wants to go to a team that is capped-out (or doesn't have enough cap room to give the player his full starting salary) and can't sign him directly.

I've already made up mind in the unlikely event of LeBron leaving..

I'm going to blame Spo. Defensive system attributed to Wade breaking down. Tired LeBron out over the years. Mismanagement of Bosh. etc etc.

The fact that our HC hasnt been a strong enough reason to stay should be an indication to all of us.

I STILL think he STAYS. But its a damn shame our HC isnt being mentioned as one of the reasons. Its all Wade, Riley, Bosh, Miami, Arison, etc etc

LMFAO@ the response!!!
