I agree with you. This is a star League. 2016 is all about stars but were going to blow our load on Deng? Its a little narrow minded. We should be able to compete and still make 2016 the goal.

all we would be doing is setting up for a playoff series without homecourt

and another first roun loss in wade legacy

The ideal thing would be to tank this year but i dont think thats what Pat wants. He wants vengeance and wants to get us into the playoff at all costs. The draft class is suppose to be weak next year thats why im ok with competing but on a team built for 2016 FA.

Deng for anything more than 6-7 and I'm already disappointed. Do not want.

Bruh he turned down 3/30mil to extend with bulls

We are going to throw 12-14mil at him

I get what you are saying, but come on .. the dude rejected a 3/30mil extension from the Bulls last year. No way he settles for anything less than 10.

I'd love if Granger backed out, but I'd like to keep McBob. He's nice 27 year niche role player.

Once again... He turned down 3/30mil from bulls and he has no reason to take a pay cut and wanted 12mil or more. Ariza wants the same thing too

Unless you are in the news and making noise in the playoffs, you are forgotten. Riley for sure does not want that for this team.

This is why I think Pau for two years is perfect. It keeps us in the playoffs and he comes off the books for 2016.

Rondo a free agent next year. You guys think he would play for us?

Mugiwara · Post #695 » by **Mugiwara** » Sat Jul 12, 2014 12:20 am

Deng for more than 2 years and I'm pissed. But he's probably looking to cash-in.

So.. I think we'll make a big mistake. :noway:

We didn't have Plan B after all.

Lequit is short sighted for not seeing the following :

http://espn.go.com/dallas/nba/story/_/i ... poll-shows

the Heat, in 2014, became America's Favorite NBA team. There were more fans of the Heat than haters.

We were building up a dynasty, and lequit's image was being restored and many people were becoming heat fans....

It's a new era, I disagree that we should've tanked blatantly. Right now we haven't accumulated enough draft picks to capitalize on. Over the next 2-3 that's exactly what we will do. Accumulate draft picks and wait it out till we can pull a coup a again, while still remaining a respectable team and letting Wade and Bosh ride into the sunset gracefully.

It was hard to watch LeBron go. Almost surreal, but I guess the pull of 'HOME' is very strong for some people. I can respect that. Thanks for the great times LeBron.

Anyway... Go HEAT!!!

I dunno since Lebron is gone and he had a rivalry with him

But he can't shoot and I heard he would only look for assists, not even care for hockey assists

That wouldn't fly with our system
