Dragic and Whiteside don't have the reputation required to lure in great players.

We won't be attracting any big name FA's until we get a player with that kind of reputation.

Ay man whatever. We didnt get the sexy free agent name this year, that's ok. We already have something special down here. We got guys that still have a crap ton to prove. We got a center who gets no respect. We got a wing prospect whose been written off because his jumper is broken. We got a bunch of dudes no one else wanted who went on a crazy run last season. We got a point guard who loses teeth and still wants to go to the paint. I LOVE THIS TEAM. We don't need those expensive free agents. We got spo and the boys. We'll be right there in the standings with Boston and whoever if we stay healthy. MIAMI HEAT BASKETBALL THEY AINT READY

Strange. I thought i'd be really mad that he didn't choose Miami. But, this whole mess has amused me honestly. I really feel that if Pat signs Waiters & JJ to smart short-term contracts and add a few more pieces (Jamychal Green/Nick Young, etc) and the team pick up where they left off from last season, that the HEAT can make some noise and potentially take out Boston. I'm optimistic as of now, patiently awaiting Riley's next move.

Yep. That's why i wanted Hayward to add with Dragic and Whiteside. It would've been a step in the right direction.

Well, the Heat franchise sure has taken some lumps the past few years. Curse of Dan Gilbert indeed.

Bottom line is, in this conference we can still push for a 4-5 seed with our returning core. Just depends on which Heat team was the real one, the 11-30 or 30-11 one.

Gonna need one of Winslow or JRich to take the next step.

Can we get in on the Crowder action already??

Not really. Why you guys so down? Would be another story if he didn't even consider us. We got a meeting where other teams did not. We'll get more meetings in the future. I remember losing out on Odom some years aback. Turned out for the better.

Celtics got better but still not better than Cleveland.

Define lumps. I mean we made the playoffs two years ago and lost in the conference semis and last year had something to be excited for after posting a league best record post all star game. Are we that spoiled that fans get mad if we aren't in the finals every year or heaven forbid somewhat struggle for a year or two. Try being a fan of any other team minus the spurs

This makes no sense. Any team has to go through the motions if it wants to sign a top free agent.

let me ask you a question which one you would respect most. the one that forms circus atmosphere around you or the one who will sit with you in a proper business environment while talking to you in a serious manner?

we had the hassan tweets and videos,the banners on along or near the stadium and 9 hrs of meetings while the other dude probably went to the point in a shorter time without so much tweeting and clowning going on. its a business not a festival or a family affair

The real issue for Boston will be next offseason.

They'll have Horford earning $29m
Hayward earning $32m
They'll need to extend Thomas for like $35m

There goes like 80%+ of your cap. Yes they'll have 3x lotto picks on rookie scale deals, but they're gonna lose some talent.

The Heat overachieved last year at the end. So somewhere in between. The EAST SUCKS this year. So we'll be a playoff team. We'll be lucky to make it to the 2nd round. Hopefully, Riley dumps contracts, trades players, signs players at 1 year deals. I don't want to see this team that starts the season by the end of the season. And I don't want to see 80 percent of those players back.

NOPE and NOPE. Only 1 year deals.
