This is such petty **** from the Cavs. First Love signed a long term deal there after Lebron leaves you high and dry then he suffers injurie and goes through severe depression. Cleveland at this point are in full tank mode and frustrated Love essentially requests to be traded but due to his injuries and contract Cavs refuse to move him because it would cost them. He finally comes back accepts a bench role behind rookies and helps mentor the young guys to where the team is now and giving them what some around the league were considering him the 6moty and now they refuse to play him nearly at all and they refuse to buy him out because he might come here.

I hope any player looking at that never sign a contract with that organization.

Also if they don't let him go solely because he wanted to play here, I hope we get them in the first round and send them packing regardless.

Also hope we end up taking Donovan off them.


Taking Donovan in free agency will be an amazing day Heat fans will have waited years for. Not if, but when.


What year are we talking about, in ten years when he is the ripe young age of 36, younger than Lowry this year? :wink:

I hope we're not bidding against ourselves again in some cloud of self-destructive delusion. Hoodwinked perhaps?

Can't overbid for no reason...

It's senseless that Wade isn't apart of Mia's front office.

Many of the mid 20's stars grew up idolizing him.

Is it worth shipping Herro and all our picks for Beal? :oops:


No. I'd do that for dame to pair with Jimmy's time-line. Forget Beal. What has be done or won to make people want him so bad. Just a Stat collector with tons of opportunities on bad teams.

:lol: portland isnt taking anything less than bam, herro and 4 unprotected firsts for Liliard. You guys are delusional if you think herro and whatever trash picks we got is enough. Dame is in his prime, has a contract that is virtually untradeable. He is stuck with portland, for life

It’s a damn shame, I was sick when he joined the Jazz. Hopefully we can fix that in the near future

If they finally end up deciding it’s time to part ways they’ll 100% give Dame his choice of team. He grew up a Heat fan and his contract is possibly considered a bad contract one day. We could get something done with Herro picks Jovic etc

I refuse to believe Caleb Martin is a better 4 than a 34-35 year old Kevin Love.

Does this count as a superstar we didn't get because of Wade?

Well the way the the Jazz owner was talking about the city/team in this vid, sounds like he's gearing up to sell the team. Whole thing sounded like a sales pitch.

Maybe Dwyane's in it for the short term get the team a bunch of draft assets have the team set up for the next decade and then flip it for a huge profit.

If he does, Miami better do the right thing and get him in the ownership group.

Good to see the respect given. Both these guys really put the team on their back to secure the championship.

Aside from Butler, there hasn't been a star who has forced themselves to Miami. Miami is always on their list, but it's not their only preferred destination. It's probably gonna be the same again with Dame if he ever asked out.. We'll be on the list, but there's also gonna be a team in there who will destroy us in a bidding war

I keep repeating this, but I think only Lebron is the realistic target that can save the Jimmy Butler timeline. He's 38-39 years old with an expiring contract, who can handpick his next destination if he requests a trade. Don't think teams are willing to go far for an old Bron. Pat can finally go all in and offer an expiring Lowry - Caleb - Jovic - 2023 first round player we draft - picks/swaps package. If he wants to save the picks, then he can offer Herro

Ha. Another LeBron fleecing? You guys are too much. That's a no from me, dawg. Lebron plays like Meyers Leonard now.

That's an overpay.

Yeah I must admit Lebron and his current averages of 30/8/7 really reminds me of Meyers Leonard as well...
