2014 Miami Heat Offseason Thread (Rumors/Reports/Lies) 7.0

JC, This kills me, lol. Where does this "Cleveland Sucks" stuff come from? Really? Certainly not a 1:00 comedic video. Please enlighten me? Sits on a large freshwater lake with amazing fishing and any other water related activity. RNR HOF, NFL HOF, Cedar Point, Surrounded by National Forests, world class, literally works class Orchestra, Museum of Art, Heavy rail, light rail, 4.5 million in the vicinity. Unless you've been to a certain place, it makes zero sense to say "it sucks". What does that even mean?

Don't bother replying about people who talk trash about your city. I live in Miami and someone posted a tweet that had a clevelander saying Miami is a dump and is the detroit of the south. That's laughable at best seeing as how I live down here. But don't quantify what they're saying with a response.

--- ---------
Anyone who says Miami sucks, is just ignorant. I've never been to Miami, and obviously it's a World Class city.

Right but seeing how we've been targets of the bball nation's ire, a lot of our fans are defensive. Especially the residents. So ignorance is expected. Just report or ignore and move on is all I would do.

Btw, some ballboy may try and troll you. Pay no mind.

quick question, does Kickstarter let people raise money for tuition?

Nope. I believe there is another crowd funding site that does though. If I remember it I'll PM you.

cool cool thanks. They scower the site to see what the funds are being raised for though?

I'm in product design and only looked into it seriously one time and that was a long time ago, so the terms are pretty fuzzy to me. What I do remember was that they don't accept people asking for donations or sponsorships which is what you're asking about. The rules keep getting stricter due to failed projects, for example CAD models no longer suffice for any product pitch, I believe people need to present working prototypes.

Think Heat do S&T for Crawford? Problem is Warriors dont need anymore guards.

We'll make ..

[batterybro42]

Wade being at the meeting might not be a good idea.

Him and Haslem should both be there. Hell bring the entire organization. Lebron in my opinion is very easily swayed. He has a lot of Cleveland people in his ear no doubt, and I am sure that has has some effect, and perhaps produced some leaning.

Chase Budinger will be a nice addition. Minnesota can use a big guard like Rio. It's win-win!

[OsuCavsfan103]

I think it's pretty clear that one of two things will happen tomorrow.

The most likely is LeBron is not sold yet, wants to hash out what Riley has in store still, wants to talk about the Bosh situation etc and what Miami is doing going forward.

Less likely scenario is he talking to Riley to face to face tell him he is leaving and thank him etc.

I really doubt he agrees to re-sign tomorrow unless Riley really wows him seeing as if he was sure right now he wouldn't need to meet him in Vegas he could just call and say he is in lol.

Why did you choose the name Heat3Peat when you signed up after the Finals and Miami's hope for a 3peat had already ended?

Because Riley started buying up trademarks for it with the impending Finals hoping we would win and I found that funny and smart... and I also still believe the Heat will 3 Peat like Jordan and the Bulls did twice.

Something that is Clearly going under the radar... If Spo is present for meeting...

No way Spo hasn't created a spreadsheet with an exact timeline of how the meeting will go, with times of who is speaking and what they are saying. The meeting will close with Lebron signing a contract!!

No way anyone is adjusting a Spo plan! No way!

Once SpoBot makes his spreadsheet, nothing changes! Ever!

More likely it's how he will use these new players and future candidates in our new system. What kind of plays they will run. And probably who they are looking to get in the next year to two years.

Lol, I knew this would come up. You know he was REALLY REALLY mad, right? Hated LeBron, couldn't stand the thought of losing to a "small market" team.

All we need is Wade, Riley, UD and Ray telling Bron to stay in Miami and it's a done deal

Spoiler:

[Mugiwara]

A source told FOX Sports Ohio that Wade and Chris Bosh, who's also a free agent after four years in Miami, will not attend the James-Riley meeting.

This one says no Wade, proballdraft says with Wade.

SAUCES. DON'T BELIEVE IN DEM

[DefenseWins]

When people talk about Bosh and Houston, people say how he will be back in his home state


But he never ever has even talked about Dallas and where he is from

Not like Wade and Lebron. I think that is so overstated

LeBron : "...and I think that it would be good if you..."

SpoBot : "Excuse me Mr. James, sorry to interrupt you. But the time is now 2:35 PM pacific time. We have a 4 minute timeslot to sign the Contract, followed by 46 minutes of Leisure and Recreation time. I rounded up the time to let you relax a bit more. So here's the Contract and the pen."

LeBron: Will rotations not involve the spread..

Spo: Yea we'll rotate around the perimeter and spread the floor.

LeBron: I think its time to be more creative on off..

Spo: Offering help on defense? Yea we'll ratchet it up more this year.

LeBron: I'm talking strat..

Spo: Oh yea, we're going to be in another stratosphere with it.

LeBron: Umm..are we going to adjus..

Spo: Yea, we can go to the Justin Timeberlake concert.

The Congo has beautiful lush rainforest, the most pristine great lakes in Africa, active volcanoes, lava lakes, rich soil for agriculture, and is home to the most diverse eco-system on the planet.


You see, you can make any **** hole sound beautiful.

Windhorst of all people has been shooting down rumors, says nothing of Lebron to Cavs unlike everyone else.

This kind of changes my opinion of him lol
