I think it's ugly to stalk kids for photos and it's despicable that their whereabouts become a "newsworthy" thing because of this. Some "reporters" have no limits.

"The King"

I guess we all should have seen this coming.

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.


Made a mistake on your username?



not at all. I'm just speaking the truth here. He can't last a full season, he was outplayed by Danny Green in the finals, and he has become a liability defensively.

He is one of my all-time favorite heat players, but if you're Lebron, it's not a very attractive aspect to this miami organization like it was 4 years ago.

Agreed. It's shameful. These kids have nothing to do with it, let them be. Ppl stalking them and taking pics is ridiculous.

Hindsight is always 20/20. The fact remained that we were paying a guy 10 million to be a cheerleader for the majority of the year. Yes he did make and impact in the Finals and yes he did play 82 games this year, but going into summer last year just about everyone agreed Miller wasn't trending in the right direction. I think many were justified in thinking that Miller would decline much the way Battier did this year. We also believed that with Battier/Lewis/Beasley our wing rotation would be more than good enough. Things didn't turn out as planned obviously.

I didn't support the Mike Miller amnesty, but there were plenty of reasons to justify doing it.


No, there was only 1 reason to do it, and it was to save Arison money. I'm sure Lebron knows it too as we've heard people say how frustrated he was with that move. You don't need Mike? Cool, trade him. Find something better. But he didn't, he decided to line his own pockets at the expense of the team.

How much money do you think Lebron has made Arison (and he Heat) due to his name recognition alone? How many times have the Heat preached sacrifice? How many players have given up money and bought into that? Kinda hard to not be upset at an owner who becomes cheap when the going gets tough, even though he's made much more off of you than the Miller amnesty save him.


I don't think you were around here when this went down. Pretty much no one, including Lebron said a word about it except we would miss him. He was brought here to be the 4th best player and at a salary that resembled it. I seriously doubt this bothered him that much as they laid out plenty of cash to bring in Allen.

Arison is not nearly as rich as some owners in the NBA, and he is under no obligation to throw away money to keep Lebron happy. You don't pay millions for a cheerleader locker room guy. If Lebron truly feels that entitled then he can go back to the Cavs. They sacrificed money to play together and win titles, not because they were super nice, hated money, or wanted Micky to spend less. In fact Lebron wants his payday now, and justifiably so. Heat are not complaining about it. Neither side has done anything wrong IMO.

chill, we Heat fans have no control. If Riley cannot talk him into signing, no one can. I still think it depends on his pregnant wife's emotions, and Riley will bring that up in their meeting.

The most **** thing about this whole situation is that the Heat still owe the Cavs two first round picks....this is **** up.

Oh, dear god no....

I can't think of a single way that Riley suggesting that LeBron is being manipulated by his wife's hormones is gonna go over well.

I want this to all be over


1. Were unsure of what date the photo was taken
2. Why are they traveling alone? Shouldn't they be with the mother?
3. They could be going to Ohio to see the family
4. I doubt during this point in FA, that LeBron's kids are alone at an airport heading to Ohio, they would be flying private on something Dan Gilbert sent down under someone elses name.


And WHY ARE WE FOLLOWING KIDS! That's the line that I think media tends to cross way to often.
