2014 Heat Offseason Thread 11.0 - Thundercats!

[Altered_Beast]

Why do people think the Cavs are going to be contenders next year?

Also why do people suddenly think Miami is not a top FA destination?

We have a top organization, Sunshine, no tax, and Wade is still here. And Bosh hasn't left yet. The infrastructure to build a contender is right there. Even if Bosh goes, if Riley goes and gets Melo and Monroe, we're going to be a nasty team next year.

Wade will be a lot better not having to share the ball with Lebron. And Melo is more of an off the ball scorer than Lebron, so that duo might work better than Lebron/Wade did.

If the Heat are aggressive in free agency, they can build a contender for next year pretty easily.

Everyone writing Pat Riley off is doing so at their own risk.

bosh is gone man dont set yourself up for disappointment again

It's been a fun 10 days with you guys. Lot's of ups and downs on both sides.

Good luck to you guys.

bye bye bosh

That was a very classless Heat fan, a real epitome of a sore loser. ESPN knows exactly what they're doing.

In the end, family won!

LBJ ended the season and was surrounded by his inner circle who wanted him to return....He was leaning and was thinking about Cav's. He met with Cav's and HEAT and was leaning toward Cav's...Reports came out...as we saw..

Then before he would make the hardest decision of his life, he opened up to others and it wasn't so clear. But in the end, the ability to go back home and the fact talent level wasn't that MUCH different, he thought, it was time.

I've said it all along, I can deal with it. He brought us 4 years of great basketball and something we should all remember!

Can't handle the ticket right now..

What the f*** is up with the depression of some people here?!? "Let's tank" , "Wade should retire"... there's quality on the free agent market out there, we can sign plenty of guys and be more than competitive and have a deep run. Man, no competitive spirit with some of y'all in here.

For real man, some of the people in here need to stop with the bull they are spewing. It's not the end of the damn world for the Heat. The team has been around for a while and he was only here for 4 of those years. Did we give up because he wasn't here those years? **** all of you nonbelievers! You can all STFU and GTFO! The door is right behind each and every one of you. I personally don't give a **** if it hits you on the way out.

Both Wade, with and without his injury, and Bosh are better than they were playing because they both got less touches because of Lebron being here. Run plays for Bosh and get him the ball more and he starts putting up numbers closer to his Toronto days then get a couple of decent guys to help make us a balanced team and we are right back into contention.

We should follow the Spurs model or 2008 Celtics. But this is going to take time(years) and I wonder if Spo can coach such a team.Beating teams like OKC without Lebron is going to be really hard. Tanking is useless for now because we don't have our pick.

I'd rather tank but if that isn't the direction we go, so be it.

[Nobymoby]

Lol you knew that was coming. Fake heat fan.

[Umbooki]

Time for a shower and a sandwich. Keep the positivity going, y'all.

[fsuizzy]

Looks like the Heat don't want to retain, Bosh...not sure why? But I am pretty sure they are playing for next years draft class.

[NYs Finest]

Sorry guys, not here to troll or anything, but I'm glad you guys are shedding the bandwagon fans... Real Heat fans I know are real, loyal fans, and the bandwagoners hurt your fanbase's image.

Good luck, here's to the renewal of a NY/MIA rivalry in a few years

What do you think about the Bosh situation?

[SWadeUP]

Lebron showed that winning isnt what he wants.

Legacy means more.

Im not knocking him for it.

[Vertical Limit]

Early is going to be a good player in this league but so will Napier, don't write off Napier, I am confident that now the pressure is off his shoulders, he will start to show his potential.

[heatlespeatles]

I liked ESPN way more when Lebron was a Heat player

[Grumpy Heat Fan]

bosh is gone manX forget about him. hes no loyalty to wade

[carbine23]

Finally this thing is over lol. Time to move on some real heat basketball stuff. Bye lebron. And I'm a firm believer in if you not with us then you against us. I've been a fan of heat fan since wade got drafted, despite my joined date here, I was in the Miami heat forum in nba lol. One thing I can assure my fellow heat fans, as long as Pat Riley is the one making the decisions, then we will stay relevant. GO HEAT!!!
