So because the Lakers were stupid enough to do it, you think it is a good idea for the Heat to do it too with Wade? How exactly are the Lakers doing now and how did they do last season since giving Kobe that contract?

Kobe would probably be an example of why you shouldn't pay guys by loyalty because it all it does is hold you back from paying players and getting players that are good now and for the future.

He also played like 50 games last season consistently missing it due to injuries and rest. He is putting up numbers that a player like Joe Johnson in his prime was able to put up. Joe Johnson was constantly touted as one of the worst contracts in the NBA, but at least he played all 80 games usually.

Sounds like a good signing to me, especially when we just saw Frye get paid 2 mil more per year and Meeks get around the same amount of money.

You're not going to make yourself popular by badmouthing a cherished icon of the franchise. Use some common sense. Your opinion of Wade, particularly comments on his shooting, are not just misinformed, but wildly unpopular on a Miami HEAT board. Again, use common sense.

What Rock Hardy said.....

constructive discussion on what happened with Wade and what to expect going forward? Lets talk all day...."washed up" "broken" "move on" "not resign" stuff is not welcome. Lacks staying power.

You guys have been too generous to an obvious Bulls/Knicks fan who just signed up to troll :wink:

I wasn't aware that Wade signed a max contract extension like Kobe...

We don't write or sign the player's contracts. If you're that much against the Heat writing a contract for Wade, write a letter to Riley about it.

@ESPNSteinLine: As part of Thunder's continuing pursuit of Pau Gasol, I'm told OKC coach Scotty Brooks met today with Gasol to add his pitch to the pile

Melo is in LA and that is clearly photoshopped.

Guys, that Twitter account called "ProBasketballDraft" is a Cleveland homer too. According to the RealCavsFans forums, it's run by a guy named Joe Kotoch.

A quick Google reveals this :

Joe Kotoch is a Cleveland-based sports agent who operates probasketballdraft.com.

So another "Lebron to cavs" source exposed as a Cavs homer. Cannot believe we allowed all of these "sources" to rile us up a few days ago.

Yeh I didn't see anybody really talk about that in any forum except for this. Then again I am blocked from Realcavsfans but I was pretty sure it was out there butt.

As far as Colin Coherds tweet. He tweeted that right before he went to bed. No response it was perfect, I would do it too. Ratings will kick up a notch tomorrow for his show and it will be the same old stuff. His feelings on the situation and where things are at.
