Miami continues to try and find a proven veteran PG. Even thou Riley is holding out hope for Lebron he is moving on trying to build this team around Bosh and Wade.

Andre Miller
Dwayne Wade/ Fernandez
Mike Miller/ Fernandez
Chris Bosh/ Haslem
Brandon Haywood/ Pittman

I know I'm about 10 pages too late for the discussion, but like someone else said, things can obviously change. We, as Heat fans, should know that from the T-Mac fiasco where he changes his mind in the middle of the night and went to Orlando. Let's just hope that's not the case this time.

No, I'm NOT backpeddling from my original statement, and I haven't heard anything to make me believe he isnt' coming, but I'm just making a point. I know that if he doesn't come, there will be people who point fingers at me for being wrong, that's fine. If he comes, I won't be in here screaming my name and proclaiming myself the greatest Heat fan alive. Just understand that.

At the end of the day, no matter what happens tomorrow night, you have gotta be excited to be a Heat fan. 2 huge pieces + Riley's magic = a great chance to win titles.

I really hope it doesn't come out through lebatard. just let james do his thing. I don't like the way he goes about his business i actually see the way Wade and Bosh did the deals as more subtle, less attention seeking and more dignity. LeBron is gonna put himself out like that but that's his decision and hopefully he joins the Heat project because he's a phenomenal player (but not as good as Flash :wink: )

Passing judgment when they don't even know who we are gonna get as back up yet.


What a BS report, love how they say its Allen and Garnett as the pairing, leaving out Pierce and then using the Kobe Artest pairing and then also Wade and Toine Walker?
Lets jut make things up however.

You guys think LeBatard would be the only writer breaking news that they know where LeBron is going? There will be all kinds of reports tomorrow saying LeBron is going here or there.

I know that but let's say lebatard is 100% right and Lebron knows of the source but asked specifically to keep it on the hush hush only to find out he blabbed it to lebatard then i don't think the king will be very happy at someone committing treason do you?

another good point just made........while we hear contract details moneywise of all these other FA signings including Boozer, we hear nothing about bosh and wade. i mean we might assume wade got the max but we dont know if bosh was a s and t or signed straight up. we havent heard any contract details at all which leads the the possibility that they are taking a little less to get lebron

I know right, but he played with him before, I'm he likes how Jason handles the ball, and he can still hit the open 3, I wouldn't mind him coming back to South Beach.

Hoopshype had a rumor about JWill yesterday...
JWill for the minimum as a backup PG, come on in!
#HEATLifer #VFL

You're welcome LeBron.

Tyler Herro is a TURD.
Bam is NOT elite but is getting better.
Fire Spoelstra!
Josh Heupel is coming for you.

I’m a proud admirer and lover of BBWs!
