Wade just watches people blow past him now, he can no longer play D, and his knees are shot. The team is still too new, and won't have elite level teamwork and passing to make up for the old legs out there. Then we have our mediocre coach who won't ever win us a series through superior strategic thinking. Then we got a bunch of slow limping old vets out there.

It's another wasted season. Riley might even just retire after this year cause this team is going nowhere. Wade's done, and Bosh is out there with a possible career ending blot clot that could pop up again at any moment, like it did again this year.

It's time to blow it up. Once upon a time I would say Wade retires in a Heat uni, no matter what, but after what he pulled this past summer, I don't even care anymore. Start over. Riley will retire, but it is what it is. We're holding on to a bad situation.

Spoiler:

### Pat Riley hasn't spoken to South Florida media in the past couple of weeks, but his comments to the team's web site Tuesday made it clear that he doesn't want to pay a luxury tax this season, with the tax far more onerous for repeater teams -- which Miami was positioned to be this season before dropping below the tax threshold.

“You’ve got to really see the big picture in where you are,” Riley said. “From 2014 to this point, once LeBron [James] left, we had some decisions to make. We had always been looking at 2016 and 2017. Just like back in 2006 we looked at 2010. That’s where our mind is. We want tremendous flexibility. We don’t want to be constrained by any repeater tax. 2016 and 2017 have become the new 2010.

“What happens in ’16 and ’17, are the next two years of being able to build this team back to a championship contender. That’s our goal. That’s my goal.”

Reading this quote especially the red part, I just can't stop smiling. You know if anyone would go out with a bang, it would be Pat **** Riley, bruh.

Quiz, can we sticky a thread so all the whining goes in one place? Something like "Entitled Fans Whine Here Please"?

I'm 100% serious. I pray and hope that I am wrong, and it's not what I am thinking. But pneumonia in Bosh's situation is a big sign that he might have got the bug. There isn't a more suspect player in the whole of the NBA than Chris Bosh. Look at how skinny he has gotten.

And I say this as a big Bosh supporter, I hope I am wrong. But I think his career is done.
