So no more either one of Gasol, Ariza and Deng?
Do you think we can convince LeBron to stay with our recent signings?
btw i watched first take, stephen a smith is making a lot of sense about the BOSH situation.

Re: 2014 Miami Heat Offseason Thread (Rumors/Reports) 5.0
So up till now I've been 100% certain the Big 3 were coming back, probably with Pau and Jameer. The McBob and Danny **** Granger signings have now scared the **** out of me. McBob solves none of our problems and is a lot of money to commit considering our constrained situation. Danny Granger is absolute trash and a shocking waste of money and a roster spot. For the first time, my confidence in Riles' glorious master plan has been shaken to the core and the weird possibility of Lebron not returning has struck home.

Carter is like a blood brother to Bron so hopefully he can convince Bron to stay.... Basically Rich Paul is the devil on LeBron shoulder and Mavrick Carter is the angle on his side......

Now while that may not do it for you, James’ long time childhood friend and marketing manager, Maverick Carter has always wanted what was best for James and what could make him the most money. After signing with Miami in 2010, at the time they thought it was the right decision for them and looking back on it, James won two titles in four years and had great success.
However, Carter and his marketing team had and have zero power in Miami and they don’t like that. The show is run by Pat Riley and Pat Riley only. And according to several sources Riley’s aggressive control for power and his way or the highway approach of everything has seriously destroyed any chance of James re-signing with the Heat
something is not adding up bro..
Either they are lying (probably so) or your source is off..

I can't believe they fell for it! Everyone knows Rusty Pelican is on Virgina Key and not technically pat of Key Biscayne!
I'm like Global Warming, you can't ignore me.

Re: 2014 Miami Heat Offseason Thread (Rumors/Reports) 5.0
I got nothing right now ....Bosh & Zo are out of the country, LeBron traveling all over, Wade silent. I haven't heard a thing.
I think most is already decided, all the panic is created by ESPN.
If I hear anything, per the usual, I will re-appear!

I would be surprised if the Heat were able to retain all 3, but truth be told I am not sure why the Heat would want to retain Wade. Wade was a Heat legend, the problem is that I used the word "was" because he currently is not special anymore.
I think Bosh will go to Houston and Lebron returns to Cleveland. Wade is probably the most likely player to return.

Dawg, you're the second one today to bring up getting rid of Wade. Its about loyalty. Wade is Miami. He's not going anywhere.

Loyalty doesn't win games or championships. Talent does and Wade doesn't really have it anymore.

I think that would explain how weak the SG position is rather than how good Wade is.
