Damn, didn't think you of all people would be so emotional about it. I wanna be competitive again and definitely wanna reload and think we can do it, but I don't have any hard feelings.

Nothing irrational and emotional about wanting to beat the guy's new team. That's just natural competition.

let the fans know that one man is not above a franchise and that they have plans for the future

imo lebron tried riley made him fly all the way to vegas while he had already made up this big marketing plan that is sure to take place now that he is back in cleveland

that was a weak move by riley to make that last ditch effort

Lol at your avatar.

We have to throw money at people

Wade has to be vengeful, but I don't think he is mad either

yeah its not like we are wishing injury

it would just be great as heat fans to see us beat the cavs

thats how you tell apart heat fans not lebron fans that masqueraded as heat fans for 4 years

this board is going to be much better now

Only once while I've been on board. I got this. 8-)

LeBron totally screwed us by waiting this long.

Earlier in free agency, we could've gotten in on the Melo chase, thrown serious money at Lowry, convinced Bosh to stay, etc.

At this point, the dominos have all fallen. We're stuck holding $50 million in cap room with Lance Stephenson as the best unrestricted on the market.

Riley needs to be working overtime to convince Bosh to stay and try to get in on the Melo chase, but it's way too late now.

I'm kind of relieved. No more hearing about the ever-present threat of him leaving to Cleveland or wanting to play with Chris Paul or wanting to team up with Melo. No more having to coddle his merry band of sycophants to ensure they feel loved and at home and in control.

Sad to see LeBron go, but thrilled that he's taking his hoes with him. Good riddance.

Those two players were probably Allen/Miller/JJ.

That's why I think the roster pull is as big or bigger than the home pull because had we won I don't think he would have left.

thats what i said. especially if they lose a bunch of assets due to the love trade.

a trio of love/lebron/kyrie while good is worse defensively than what he had in miami

not to mention kyrie is fragile. again wade was too but kyrie is much younger and has a wade like play style where he wrecklessly drives to the rim sometimes

lebron is risking a lot here

im over it already. i want to know what we do with mcbob and granger

LeBron flat our said his goal now is to bring just ONE ring to CLE. Looks like he knows he's risking it but is fine with choosing the saviour road. He also says they are not ready now and will be a long wait.

At least he's not deluding himself, but I hope he never fulfills that promise because the city of Cleveland and that POS owner do not ever deserve to taste victory. I appreciate everything he did for the team and wish him and his family personally well, but I thought Lebron had more pride than to go back to people who said and did the things they did in the wake of his leaving. I guess I was wrong.

Oh no, I wanna beat them for the sake of winning. But I don't wanna specifically beat them because I'm bitter about LeBron leaving or anything. I won't give them that satisfaction. We'll be fine either way.

Good luck, King - and good riddance.

Yup. But he's fine with that as long as people like him now. People never like you when you're trying to do something great or you're a threat to their favorite players legacy

Now is the time, as Heat fans, for us to be better fans than ever. We have the opportunity to easily repair the bandwagon image by not abandoning ship, staying classy, and being thankful.

Post #917 » by **KingDavid** » Fri Jul 11, 2014 5:45 pm

Melo will not come here. Lance will not come here.

If we want free agents, we're going to have to throw money at restricted free agents. I'm not a fan of that either...Just tank.

No burning jerseys we got more out of the guy in fours than the cavs did in seven.

Why is anyone surprised at the classiness of Heat fans? Most of you Heat fans aren't even real fans anyhow. Now you'll just go back to smuggling in cocaine and such.

I feel bad for you true Heat fans, but for the millions of other bandwagon losers, SUCK IT

Thanks for four great seasons, LeBron! Your jersey will someday hang in the rafters! Good luck in, Cleveland!
