Heat wouldnt mind losing Bosh to get Melo. LeBron was tired both mentally and physically than he ever was before. LeBron didnt come to Miami for that. Melo would make a new Big 3 (makes sense because we dont know how to use Bosh..)


It doesn't make sense to me.

If we thought that Wade Lebron had problems lebron Melo is worse. Melo plays the same position as Lebron but not as well. Bosh is crucial to the Heat and the big 3. He IS what makes it work. You think Bron is going to play the 4 with Melo at 3.

Ouch.

Please no!

I really don't see the point of Melo WITH the big 3 but Melo instead of Bosh is just crazy.
I remember when the Dolphins were perennial contenders

I never understood the tired angle. He plays basketball for 40 minutes a game, is pampered by a medical staff and trainers, retires to confines of his mansion on the water and is overextended because he played an extra 5 minutes a game to carry a heavier load?

So any updates since o 4am?

I was on twitter, facebook and instagram just a little while ago. One of my facebook friends made a status about LeBron. Then someone else commented on his status saying that he knows for sure that LeBron is coming back to Miami. I asked him, "how do you know?". He said just follow the signs... they're everywhere its just hidden. Start with instagram and it will lead you to where you need to go.

I went on instagram and found something strange. Another friend who has close ties to LeBron said "Dont believe the hype" with a LeBron Heat jersey. I commented on the pic, "How do you know?". He said its all media BS...just do the research and you'll see LeBron is staying. He told me to look for the small clues on twitter.

I go on Twitter and I see someone saying "LeBron's not leaving, lol...Got it from the same sources as most". So I tweeted him "How do you know? He then sent me a link. I went to the link and it was my original friend's facebook status of "People can make up anything now days and others will take it as a fact" I saw the comment "LeBron's coming back to Miami"

Look either way we'll be fine. If the Spurs and especially Dallas can beat with Lebron with can beat Lebron if it comes down to that. He is beatable on that CAVs team.

He should take 10 mill a year and only play 29 minutes a game and shut up if that's what he wants.

He's close to 30. They've been to 4 straight finals. Wade missing more games/time was more taxing on LeBron. As evidence of DWade's health breakdown...the Heat exert a lot of energy with the style of defense they play. LeBron 's played more mins than anyone the last 4 years and yet he still does the most for his team than anyone.

So you dont understand the greatness of LeBron James !

If it was lets say Kobe Bryant, he would have loved because he could take every single shot without anyone complaining but LeBron is a teamplayer who likes to pass first ! He was tired because he has to do almost everything, we were short on offense last year, the spot was promised to B-Easy but Spo didnt trust him enough to put on the field.

That "poor baby" being tired of carrying a team all regular season and playoffs is what enabled the HEAT to sign him four years ago.

Lebron is ALWAYS going to be the player with the most minutes on ANY team. It's just a fact, Kyrie won't see the ball as much with Lebron there unless he becomes a spot up three point shooter. This whole thought of him getting more rest is impossible with his style of play and how much a team changes it's offense and defense because of him.

Tim Reynolds has basically conceded that Lebron is going to Cleveland unless Riley pulls off a miracle.

This dude had this planned out from the start. So slimey.

So it seems even the Heat organization might be admitting that Spo might be the issue?

I don't get why everyone is panicking. If he leaves, then thanks for the rings. We rebuild.

Quite frankly, if he leaves, he's worse than Martin.
For a long time it gave me nightmares,witnessing an injustice like that.It’s a constant reminder of just how unfair this world can be.I can still hear them taunting him, Silly Rabbit tricks are for kids.I mean why couldn’t they just give him some cereal?

It was Bob McAdoo. They met to discuss the looming Miami HEAT head coaching vacancy.


What are you guys talking about?

It starts to seem that way.

You would've thought he'd have much more consideration for the teammates, franchise and fans he went to 4 straight Finals with.

Not mad at him leaving, got 2 rings out of it.
Could've been 3 hadn't he choked.
