Not related to Bucher, like I said last night, we meet up for lunch, usually at Pollo Tropical, sometimes we hit up Tootsies for some late night fun, and just casually talk basketball. No big deal.

That's pretty cool, i guess it's nice to know an ESPN analyst. Pollo Tropical is a nice place to eat according to my cousin.

Gables Estates for example (Probably the most expensive neighborhood in Dade with a house worth more than 100 million) is on the water. Riley's house is there on the water.

The first two paragraphs sum up James completely so so selfish, there is absolutely 0% chance of him being the man at Miami. This is Wade County for god sake and forever will be until the real king is no longer wearing a Heat jersey. But having said that do we still want LeBron..... of course we do.

It's just his and persona and attitude reeks so whether they'll take to him as a hero in Wade County remains to be seen.

The cap is gonna be HIGHER than 56.1 million!!!!

Talked to an NBA team executive who confirmed something I heard: that the NBA salary cap will be higher than $56.1M projection.

This has huge implications on possibly getting LeBron, along with just filling out the roster.

Just to add to that, you know straight away that Bosh is going to be HUGELY liked at the AAA. I'm feelin Bosh in a Heat jersey already and i think we'll see something special from that man.

As for James well the more i think of it the harder i find a way for him to swallow his pride and ego for instant rings with Wade and Bosh. If he does take the hit then i'll give him alot more respect.

I'm not trying to get on you, but your sig is still way too big.

Someone said it earlier, the limit is 400x90.

Very important, but at the same time wouldn't Wade and Bosh's contract go up if the cap goes up?

call me sadistic but if we land lebron tomorrow i will just revel in the disappointment with knick and bulls fans. especially knicks fans who almost are taking it for granted that he goes to nyc. that board would be acidic with bitterness and i would love every moment of it

Someone did the calculations before, it would have to go over like 60 million or something for it to affect their max amounts. But beyond that, they've already gone out of their way to say they will take less money to make it work, so I doubt that is an issue.

Return to Miami Heat
