[Conclusion]

Gotta agree 100%. I feel for the Cavs, but hatin' on LeBron like this is insane in the brain. If Wade left for Chicago, I would probably be more mad at the Chicago Bulls franchise than Wade, since I can understand why (family problems).

WIth Bosh taking 14.5 Mill
Wade taking 14.2 Mill
Bron taking say 14.5 mill
Miller Taking 4 mill
Chalmers taking 800k

[Dezmondballins3]

I say 5 mill to haslem the rest to t mac or if you don't want to be risky q rich

[Heat11114]

Fisher is half the player he used to be and he was never a great player to begin with. The funny thing is the critics would LOVE the pickup.

14x3=42+1.2=43.2+.85=44.05+(8x.5 on holds)=48.05
58.05-48.05=10mil to spend before we even sign Miller or Haslem.

Consider this though, Miami still hasn't officially signed Wade so we are probably still holding Haslem's bird rights and thus can give him 10.5% increases. He could probably get a 6 year contract that starts under $5mil this year and still end up with a yearly average of just over $6mil. That's not too bad, unless someone offers him like 40+ (NETS DONT SCREW THIS UP FOR US).

I think Fisher would be a great addition. He's completely selfless and knows when to hit the big shot. I'm behind it.

[heatwillbeback]

I like Fisher, but please dont give him Miller or Haslems money. Those guys are more important to get

[HIF]

I don't want Fisher.

If he doesn't need to be in LA anymore then he should go back to the team that let him go there so kindly.

Chalmers>Fisher

[Roll Tide Baaby]

I want T-Mac, Shaq, and Rafer Alston next. T-Mac being the most important. The Laker fans want T-Mac bad right now, I say we need to grab him for cheap. Doesn't he live in Florida anyway?

[Heat11114]

Laker fans want Tmac? Haven't heard a thing about him down here. Why do we need washed up superstars? It makes a lot more sense to get guys who know the role player role and can play D like Raja.

[HIF]

Tmac wouldn't be abad signing.

Yea. We already got three superstars. What we need is deadly shooters and defenders to surround them. I would love to have Raja on the squad. His clothesline abilities will come in handy.

[shanedude]

Guys what about Center? Are we seriously gona start fatman Pittman? He isn't in Nba shape.

[5ickwithitxx]

We will get a C in FA. WE need at least a guard and a starting center and a backup PG and we are good to go.

T-Mac was AWFUL for the last few seasons, and cannot stay healthy or be relied upon. He doesn't have the ego of a Shaq or Iverson, but he's just as washed up as those two. We have more than enough scoring, and he doesn't do much to address our defensive needs (Considering he's lost his quickness) The way I see it playing out:

SG: Wade/Raja Bell?
SF: LeBron/Mike Miller?

OR if LeBron is playing PG -

SG: Wade/Raja Bell?
SF: Mike Miller/Q-Rich? Dorell?

Something like that. ^ Trust me, I was a McGrady stan back in the day, and watched 70-75% of Knicks games this year just to see how he does. It was not pretty, he's not even 25% of what he used to be IMO.

I would like to see raja bell and Qrich for theie Defense and shooting. Plus Qrich got a pretty good friendship with Wade.

Wow! I'm pleasantly surprised. This deserves it's own thread. If somebody would have told us that the new 3kings would going in one team w/paycut, nobody would have believed it.

This is truly honorable on their part, to leave something for others.

Agreed. Both guys are solid defenders. I know Bell is coming off an injury, but it was to his wrist, that won't stop him from being a pesky defender/moving his feet.

Q-Rich and Wade have good chemistry. Wade wasn't afraid of letting him take big shots in clutch situations. He's obviously undersized at the SF position, but he's got some bulk and gave Paul Pierce a tough time.

I'd take a look at either/both of those two, Dorell (And I don't even think he's good), and Matt Barnes all before T-Mac.

They are truly here to win and not for the money, how can we not respect that as human beings?? People complain all the time that players are in it for the money and that takes away the respect for the game. So now we have a scenario where three players ACTUALLY are here to win and people still hate them?? RIDICULOUS
