It's a shame we couldn't have gotten him to the ACC in the 2nd round. The Nets right now look like the just-happy-to-be-here team, there wasn't even a point to them winning our series.

This, and i would have loved to see Corey bosh get booed worse than vince

Well he'd be useful against bigger SF's like JJ, so he would've helped us this year, but what else is he good for?

Plus what if he ruins the chemistry on the team, along with the growth of Ross and DD?

Is his source Butch Carter?.... :nonono: viewtopic.php?f=32&t=1297649

This thread has more credibility than a hoopsworld article.

But, TL is expected to make a run at him, and it would make sense for both sides. But, I highly doubt it happens.

Come on son ;)

If worst comes to worst plant some palm trees downtown, put a lot of blue food coloring into lake ontario and paint the snow green.


so proud of my city, but dam Miami looks gorgeous

Personally I like California better. Both Florida and Cali are gorgeous but Cali has a younger vibe to it, while Florida seems more for retired rich people :P

Reading through this thread, some of you guys must be crazy if you seriously would not want LeBron on this team.

If a player like Lebron or Durant come, you have to choose between Lowry and Derozan, because there is not enough ball for all 3 of them.

The perfect roster around Lebron would be Jonas-Amir-Lebron-Ross-Lowry. There's not enough ball for DD in that starting 5 and it provides a lethal 1-3-5 setup with 2 way role players at the 2-4.

Derozan would be a decent piece going the other way, or to a 3rd team to shore up the roster in other ways.

Al Horford... or Someone off the bench like Ross/Demar.

Serious question lol If Lebron actually came here this summer, do we still go after Vince? I think the main reason MLSE wants to bring back VC is to fix our image and actually have something to celebrate (our past accomplishments) but if a guy like Lebron came, would we really need Vince to come? I personally would like to see him back anyways.

In a world where I was being sarcastic.

it is known that Lebron wants to make money as much as he can in his basketball career. I read somewhere that he has billionaire aspirations. Him winning a championship in Canada and being already a known brand in the United States will surely generate him alot of money. Dude will be a household name in the whole 1st world western countries.

I don't want LeBron - I want this team to grow and add new pieces via draft but to win with this core.

LeBron may not be coming to T.O., but he could switch teams in the near future. It all depends on whether Miami keeps winning, what talent they can add to the team and Wade's health. The big question for the Heat this offseason is how they replace Ray Allen and Shane Battier, both of whom are likely going to retire.

Personally, I think he needs to find a good young up and coming team to join at some point if he wants to keep winning titles. He probably realizes he can't rely on Wade forever.

The only remote possibility of this happening relies on whether or not the Heat don't win a championship, and if LeBron is really worried about the future of D-Wade. They have an old team... if those guys are seriously regressing, he might bolt. I highly doubt it though.
