The second one was probably either Ray or Jones.

This is exactly what I just said

HeatDaChamps wrote:Logically, it wouldve been better to NOT sign McBob yet, keep the MLE. Try to get someone better, then if we strike out, give the MLE to McBob. Now we have to bank on chalmers taking a sign and trade.

We didn't sign McBob yet because we can't actually pay him the MLE because we don't know if we'll have the MLE. That's why we've only verbally committed to paying him the ~5 Million range. We'd like to pay through a S&T, but if we can't, no biggie because he's the best player we can get with the actual MLE and if we lose the MLE because we go under the cap then we get a better player anyways with more cap space even after we pay McRoberts. So what you want Riley to do is exactly what he is doing. It's just that the free agency for teams with cap holds isn't exactly streamlined so everything seems a little backwards

Damnit, please don't trade Wiggins, Cleveland. If that's the case, please LeBron stay in Miami. Wiggins is the future, I truly believe that.

IF he left Miami, sources tell Yahoo.

Mike Miller was one.

BlueHeat wrote:I just think the media narrative is hilarious.

How is CLEVELAND a better basketball situation than Miami?

They just lost the backup to an injury plagued PG, they lost a backup center in Zeller, they lost Hawes, they're likely losing Deng, they lost Karasev. They have Varejao, who himself is injury prone; they have Anthony Bennett and it remains to be seen if he's a bust. They have Wiggins, and it remains to be seen how good of a basketball player he is. Meanwhile, they Heat have nothing on their books, and have basically already IMPROVED their roster.

This is utterly ridiculous. ESPN acts like LeBron going back to Cleveland is redemption, like its a GREAT thing for all the fans he left four years ago. What are we, **** on toast? Does our fandom not matter because the HEAT have NO REAL FANS? Give me a break. This is utter nonsense. If LeBron leaves, that team will be struggling for a while. For all the supposed "talent' they have, they couldn't even make the EC playoffs last year. Hell, even Charlotte did that.

It's more than just basketball. I think his family (most importantly his wife) wants to live and raise their kids in their home town. From a pure basketball perspective, it's 50-50, imo. But everything I'm hearing (and I'm no carl mind you) is saying his wife and inner circle would love to go back home.

@EthanJSkolnick now
... (2/2) That player's belief is Miami would have been better off holding cap space to sell LeBron on prospect of something bigger.

**** MCBOB!

If we didn't amnesty Miller we would have less room to work with

But this really affected Lebron, that wasn't overstated
