Honestly there is <0% chance that Lebron comes to Miami. I'm sure he thinks he doesn't even really need Wade, and he certainly wouldn't want to share the spotlight (albeit he would have more of it than Wade)

I just get sick of the fact that everything on this board is always dumbed down to "play Beasley more". Even in the last damn game of the season.
Forget this game, just look at the numbers the 2nd half of the year. Beasley shot 41% from the field for like the last 40 games of the season, and STILL kept his starters spot and played more minutes than Haslem.
How much do we have to baby him?
Come on we draft him for his scoring ability yet hes what our 3/4 option?
Option 1 Wade
Option 2 JO
Option 3 honestly UD with the way he is Wades first option on the pass
Option 4 Beasley or Q

WTH? I don't get these type of posts. Riley's job is to get players around Wade, he knows that even if Wade is hinting him or not.

For all I get on Beasley, there is no doubt Wade doesn't REALLY like the kid, and has not done the best job of embracing him.
Should have traded him at the deadline, its all on Pat now. Time to deliver

To me he was definitely sending a message. Obviously Riley knows it's his job to get it done. But just like he tried to put the onus on Wade last summer, it's Wade's turn now

Just get Bosh, and some other good pieces, and I'll be happy.
I feel the same way, I dislike LeBron too much to ever have to force myself to root for him.

The last couple matchups, I've gotten the impression things are a little testy between the two. I mean its probably me just looking into it too deeply, but it seems like neither guy could ever accept a lesser role, which one would have to do if they teamed up. Especially LeBron.
Hell, look at what happened when Wade got the ASG MVP.

I understand what the original poster was saying about Wade's emphasis, but I don't think Riley is watching thinking "Oh **** Dwyane really wants me to surround him with better players this summer or he's leaving", if he doesn't already know that, we're in a **** ton of trouble.

Same here in noticing that tension. Maybe if they were heading toward the ends of their careers ala the old men Celtics. But both are hitting or in the middle of their primes right now. There is definitely not enough spotlight to share

If Lebron came here can you imagine how many bandwagon fans we'd get?

Wade just tweeted:
If U're feeln discourage try 2 redirect ur thoughts away frm the troubles that plague u n focus upon the opportunities that surround u. Man of purpose!
"We've proven that we can do it and we'll do it again."

I guess possible trade talks start now. Hello warriors lets talk Monte Ellis. Hello Chicago lets talk Kirk Hinrich.

Best thing to ever happen to this franchise. Hope he retires in Miami.

Re: Game 5 - Heat at Celtics - Tues 7PM EST
I have narrowed down what happened to JO to two options
1) He has been promised a contract for Boston next year
2) voodoo
On another note free agency here we come, name free agent number 1 has entered the court.

Beasley benched in 2nd half is the other WT headline
