Click More Episodes, 7-7-14 Part 2, my interview starts around 10:00 mark

I tweeted this out last night to random Miami/Cleveland media and used hashtags to catch interest, it got a couple hundred RTs and Favs:

Miami Money Maker
‏@UD40picks
Just left Rusty Pelican on Key Biscayne, saw LeBron eating with Gilbert, Big Z, and 2 older men on upper patio. #heat #cavs #NBAFreeAgency

"He's (Windhorst) got 3 plates of food, he's got double mashed potatoes."

It is. Naw, nothing more than a fan lol.

Who in blue hell is @probballdraft?

[Jinsaryko]

Probasketballdraft ‏@Probballdraft 14s Growing expectation that the purpose of LeBron's meeting with Riley will be to inform Heat of his decision to return to the Cavs.

I hope and pray Cavs fans are buying this load of bullocks. We're going to see that city suffer crushing devastation from a Miami athlete for the 3rd time.

Honestly both fan bases are digging in and setting up some epic crow eating. I just hope they're the ones eating crow in the end.

You just said Wade doesn't have talent. I may have to make that my Sig.

He had talent a couple of years ago, but not so much in the past two years. The injuries have derailed him and his inability to shoot doesn't really help.

I find it pretty stupid to waste about 10+ million dollars for a guy who is not even close to being worth it, just because of what he did 8 years ago. There is a reason why nobody is chasing after this guy.

You're teetering on a thin line now. I'd call it a night if you don't want to be banned.

Call me crazy, but I think the Big 3 are definitely ok with taking bigger pay cuts if it means bringing in another piece.

Those reports of them wanting those numbers don't make much sense and guys around the Heat have talked about how quiet they've been. Hell, we didn't know about McBob until like an hour before they signed him and Granger came out of absolutely no where.

What if LeBron is looking for about $17M starting, Bosh at $15M, and Wade at $12M? That's $44M between the 3. Taking into account the cap holds and the fact that the exceptions can't be used if we're under the cap ($7M for McBob/Granger), that can possibly leave Miami with another $7-9M; which is around the figure guys like Deng, Ariza, and Gasol are looking for.

You're crazy bro!

But I do sincerely hope that you are right

You could get banned on this site for saying the Heat shouldn't re-sign a injury prone has been that was a large reason why this team couldn't win in last season's Finals?

Probasketballdraft ‏@Probballdraft 16s I'm told Danny Granger and Josh McRoberts signing with Miami does not affect LeBron's decision.

Please leave BallBoy

Some poser who couldn't be a source

Yes.

Especially on that player's teams forum. You're baiting other posters.

lol reading through that @probballdraft guys twitter feed he's so biased he even retweeted Skip.

You're not going to make yourself popular by badmouthing a cherished icon of the franchise. Use some common sense. Your opinion of Wade, particularly comments on his shooting, are not just misinformed, but wildly unpopular on a Miami HEAT board. Again, use common sense.

If you retweet skip bayless and don't work for espn

You have no credibility

What Rock Hardy said.....

constructive discussion on what happened with Wade and what to expect going forward? Lets talk all day...."washed up" "broken" "move on" "not resign" stuff is not welcome. Lacks staying power.

I am not baiting anyone. I am telling people my opinion and why it would be a bad idea for the Heat re-sign him for anything over 10 million. I don't see what good is re-signing and paying someone over 10 million a year when that player is not even close to deserving of it. If you guys think Wade is deserving of it then good for you, but is he deserving of it because of his production or is he deserving it because of what he did about 10 years ago?

[Amorphous Blob]

He's deserving of it because of his production when he played last season he averaged 19-5-5 on 53 percent shooting.

[OtW]

So, Shaq_diesel is here again, and this time, he was one of the people who trolled the **** out of the national media . I come home just in time to see his post is quoted.

It makes sense that you have not heard anything. In reality, has anyone heard anything aside from rumors and ****? Both sides have been air tight when it comes to what is leaked. Who is that probball guy on twitter?

Thanks for stopping by.

[BIRDMAN BIRDMAN]

If there will be some news, I expect it within 10-11 otherwise I guess no more bombs for this day

I wont be surprised if the next signing is someone under the radar again......ala Brian Roberts or something

lol considering Kobe Bryant's contract, Wade for $10-15m would be the steal of the century

Dude go lecture the Lakers board they paid Kobe after he missed a year and a half for an achilles injury at least Wade played this season.

That's your prerogative as a poster. Just don't be surprised when you can't log back in because you don't want to practice common sense.

He's been pretty good until like a month ago when our season ended dude. Arguably but constantly top 3 shooting guard all his career.

Take it easy and take off your Bulls-fan glasses and really watch the game
