We're going to be getting these types of rumors until this summer If you ask me what's LeBron going to do, I say he opts out with Wade and Bosh and all three pull a Spurs Big 3 type deals to add role players. I wonder who's the "source"...

[Ratchet_Rio]

I'll play along. Say things fall apart an LeBron opts to team up with his bff in LA. Blake Griffin + picks wouldnt be a bad consolation prize

[Mourning_Heat_33]

Windhorst is the master of panic when it comes to Lebron on the heat. Not sure if he was like this during the cavs years but his default story is always negative about the heat. If you went by his accounts of the heat over the last few seasons you would never think the heat could win a title in '12 or '13.

How about Chris Paul comes to the heat? Or kyrie Irving? All the heat high paid players have to do is take deeper pay cuts. Windhorst doesn't think of those scenarios.

Windhorst article = nothing to see.

[RJM]

Too bad we're not playing them soo--oh, wait. Here's a story!

[NBADraft2003]

I just don't like that guy...




Who told him to come cover Miami anyway?

[RexBoyWonder]

There is no "source". There only this fatfu@k




Do you see Riley agreeing to a sign and trade that send Lebron to LA? me neither.

============================================


Now just for fun, purely imaginary speculation (never happens) :

Lebron + Haslem + James Jones + Toney Douglas + Lewis

For

Blake Griffin + Deandre Jordan + J.J. Redick + Reggie Bullock


New Heat team :

Rio/Cole
Wade/JJ Redick/Bullock
Trevor Ariza/J.Ennis
B.Griffin(32 minutes)/Bosh(16 minutes)
Bosh(16 minutes)/Deandre Jordan(32 minutes)

I say we're still going to the finals.

ESPN did because they thought he was Lebron's Howard Cosell . What they didn't realize is that this guy is nothing but a creep that has been stalking Lebron since middle school and Lebron doesn't even like him.

Anyways, I agree with what was previously posted, what ever happens in the offseason, we'll get a nice package in return via S&T if they leave.. so we won't be in trouble for too long IF it happens. I don't think any of the three leaves but Bosh is most likely.

[BFRESH44]

The Cavaliers are sucking ass, so Windhorst had to conjure up another free agency narrative lol.

[LoveMyHeat]

Can't spell Windhorst without WORST.

Highly suggest for everyone to just ignore Windbag articles.

And yet on the same day, David Beckham publicly says this about Lebron, one of the rumored investors in the new MLS team.

"He wants this to succeed. He loves the city. He loves being here; you know how proud he is of being part of the Heat. He's very interested in this," Beckham said.

No need to fix anything :

Jordan + Blake + Bosh = best power rotation in the NBA. Perfect fit, defense, rebounding, spacing, creating.
Wade is still Wade, and with Redick and Bullock we could keep him fresh all year long.
Ariza is a perfect fit, great defender that will hit a lot of 3's on a high %.
Best team in east, Better then Indy.

I am the type of guy that would watch any channel with sports. For the most part I like ESPN. But then you wonder why ESPN has the reputation they have by some of their viewers and Brian Windhorst is a prime example of it. This guy, literally has shown you the blueprint and lack of qualifications required to be a journalist for a big time network - stalk the best child athlete you know and hope he becomes a star, and then proclaim him an "NBA EXPERT" when making picks. That is some bar set by ESPN. What would Brian's career be like if Lebron turned out to be a bust..

There are beat writers in Miami like Salguero and Omar Kelly who are both complete **** at their jobs but still far more qualified to report sports than Brian.

I dont think lac does this deal if blake griffin keeps putting up these big numbers and they make noise in the playoffs I E Tough out in wcsf 6 or 7 CLOSE GAMES or make a WCF. They are basically pairing two 30 year albeit superstars with role players and itd be a huge risk. Also those throw ins mean nothing to lac.

Those 2009 kobe/lebron commercials should have had windhorst as the "wont shut up yammering puppet"

Okay let me get this straight, lebron to the clippers is what this guy is saying could happen?
The clippers have a bunch of players under contract
Paul is making around 20 mil
Blake around 20 mil
Deandre around 10
Jj reddick around 7
Jamal crawford and also jared dudley, idk if how much or if theyre under contract next year.

So basically this needs a sign and trade to work. Which means blake or paul are coming back.
So ask yourself this, do you honestly believe lebron would leave Bosh (who is a perfect fit to stretch the defense and open the paint for lebron, and wade who has health issues but when healthy can cut to the rim like no other, play great defense, handle the ball, make plays? You think he would leave that for a team without either blake/paul and deandre jordan, jamal crawford, jj reddick?

People are forgetting if we sign the big 3 to decent deals we can add role players that can keep this team winning for the next couple of years. Miami is a proven franchise that has won 3 championships in the last 8 years. We all know pat riley always finds a way to make the team better. Im not worried about the clippers taking lebron at all.

[El Alonzo scowl]

I'm sure every single team is doing their due diligence to acquire LeBron in some way, they're professional sports franchises and it's their job. But having this "news" come out today and the sources being espn just reeks of a ratings ploy for tonight's game.
