I was kidding. I got u, but at the same time. IF you were to ask me who I would expect to be able to keep something completely quiet, it would be Pat Riley. I mean the beasley signing was known by nobody EXCEPT for woj. And woj is the best of the best. It doesnt completely surprise me that NOTHING has come out about Bynum. I mean nobody has reported anything about him since he cleared waivers. Dont u find that odd?

What I'm trying to figure out is where I said it was definitive that Bynum was signing. Nothing was set in stone, and I never said anything resembling the words "book it" as though my word were law. I don't have a reputation around here for spewing nonsensical breaking news reports or anything of the sort.
Hopefully this is true.Iceburg Slim wrote:Spoke to a buddy of mine down here in Miami that's well-connected to the team a few hours ago. He says that the Bynum signing is only a matter of time. What's being hammered home right now is concerns relating to Bynum's attitude. Pat, as we all know, won't be having any of that, especially during a season like this one. Once that is settled and established, the HEAT are going to have a new starting center to place alongside Chris Bosh.
Greg Oden is fine. Because of one of his legs being longer than the other, officials are working on a special shoe for him to play with that will provide balance for him. Miami is really pulling out all of the stops to ensure that The Oden Project is a success. The feeling is that there's no doubt about Miami's desire to keep rebuilding Greg Oden long-term, and they want him to have as much potential for success with us as possible.
If he gets hurt, he gets hurt. If not, Miami will have a starting-caliber center going forward. Either way, regardless of a Bynum signing or not, Miami is fully committed to Greg Oden, and he knows that. The only frustration he has is about getting his body ready to play and completing his rehabilitation. This is the exciting thing about this franchise. We care about our players.
SHAQ, for all of his complaining about Miami, actually lost some credibility when he tried to claim Pat Riley ended his career. Everything SHAQ used to resurrect his career in Phoenix was being offered to him here in Miami, but because he didn't like how he was being treated by Riley, he decided to loaf around and get himself hurt some more, similarly to his contract dispute with the Lakers before forcing his way out of there.
In Riley We Trust. Big time.

Better this than wishing for a 30-something year old center with a **** up neck that's out for the season every other goddamned post.
If this happens, I wonder who we let go. I kind of don't want to replace anyone even though it's an obvious need.
I don't care. I just ride with what we got. Honestly, I run my mouth at times about who we play, who we sit, coaching and all that ****. At the end of the day, I'm just a fan. We're not going to win every year and this isn't going to last forever. So I really just enjoy the ride.Altered_Beast wrote:KingDavid wrote:Hopefully this is true.Iceburg Slim wrote:Spoke to a buddy of mine down here in Miami that's well-connected to the team a few hours ago.

So you won't replace mason who has done nothing up to this point?

I don't think there's a player worse than Mason.
