2014 Miami Heat Offseason Thread (Rumors/Reports/Lies) 7.0

It doesn't look good for him staying. These rumors of him recruiting players to Cleveland....this is what happened before he came to Miami.

That said, if he leaves, sign and trade him, get what you can (PICKS!), do the same with Bosh, re-up Wade (because he's the face of the franchise), and target the hell out of Isaiah Thomas and Greg Monroe...

WHAT?

Would he really announce his decision without meeting with the Cavs? If so, good luck over there Lebron, thanks for the memories lol

Pretty sure when Riley was recruiting McGrady back in the day, he momentarily had T-Mac thinking about coming to Miami. As I remember it, somebody asked T-Mac what he said that was so persuasive and McGrady said something like, "Riley told me if I didn't head down there, he was just going to put together a team that beats mine every year anyway."

I don't think that guy gets Riles

Some of you guys are starting to sound like Cle fans lol. Really going to turn on him? The past 4 years we had a legendary team.. one for the history books. 4 straight finals, 2 chips, 27 win streak, legendary eFG%, etc.. honestly couldn't ask for more. One of my greatest (and worst - 2011) moments as a heat fan.

Do I want him to stay? Hell yeah. But I don't hold anything against him if he leaves. He just has his own priorities. Just thankful for the past 4 years and then move on..

Why are people taking pics of his kids ? Are people taking pics of other free agents children.

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 can see it from a business view. Bron and Riley are men. Men usually are logical and the logical choice is Miami for at least 2 more years. I never thought Bron would retire as a Heat player anyway.

Cavs told Rich Paul about the Kevin Love trade and I'm sure that was relayed to Lebron

It will happen too if Lebron commits to Cavs

Ray would go to Cleveland with Lebron and possibly Miller

Yeah this don't look good lol

RIley>Lebron I am sorry. Hell
Phil Jackson>Lebron

Those two guys will build a powerhouse that will take down Lebron. Look at our franchise since Pat RIley has been here.

I'm ready to sign Greg Monroe to an offer sheet.

Riley tends to do quite well with Georgetown guys.

Followed immediately up with a press conference to announce that Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade will be returning next season, along with Lance Stephenson, Pau Gasol, Carmelo Anthony and Isaiah Thomas. ALL DISCOUNTED!!!!!

...I can dream

Dunno who the original poster of the pic is tho. I call BS but just wanted to know what y'all think

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.

Yep. There is no free agent transaction so important that basic human decency should go by the wayside. There are enough psycho fans out there that pinpointing the location and destination of children who's parent is about to make an incredibly emotionally charged decision (either way) is hugely irresponsible.
