I hated Lance. But **** it. I kinda want another "LeBron goon" on our squad.

If we want to stomp the Cavs. I want guys that HATE LeBron. Dont get me wrong, respect what he did. Best in the league. Still a favorite player of mines. But when it comes to Miami.....we need guys that are going to lay his *** out. McBob, Granger, Lance.

I'm already looking forward to what UD will do..

Dwyane Wade gave me no indication yesterday that he would look anywhere else. Then again, things have changed a tad in Miami since then.

It is going to be so fun joining in with the rest of the world and rooting against LeBron next season and beyond. Although, many of them probably root for him now.

The day he wins a title is the day I take a break from the NBA.

Nobody is going to root against Lebron... This is what everyone wanted

People now hate Miami not Lebron


They saw him as a villain teaming up but now he just goes back to his original team

Everyone wanted him back there. He is going to be liked again big time

[marson]

This can happen. LOL Dwade gotta be emotional until now and wants to rival James.

Bulls with Dwade is competitive enough to rival the Cavs LOL

Fck. i hope i'm wrong!

Wade is Heat for life. FOH.

[Myam333]

I just can't believe the fitness idiot was right

I don't even gaf that LeBron left.

I'm furious that he was right.

[Grumpy Heat Fan]

wade 3 rings
lebron 2 rings


wade should start pulling a shaq on kobe... " you cant win without me" lol

LeBron is trying to paint this "nice guy" image now to get more likes, but I am positive that LeBron actually believes his own hype now. He probably thinks he is a "new player" now and that he is mostly responsible for our 2 rings.

"I'll just go to Cavs and win there and also get the Return marketing campaign on top of it"

Wake up call. LEBRON BOUT TO BE EXPOSED AGAIN. Watch. He took Wade and Bosh for granted.

LeBron is such a **** beta. Followed Wade to Miami, then got pulled back to Cleveland by Rich Paul and Maverick Carter.

Makes you appreciate a guy like Kobe who, for better or worse, has always made his own decisions.

This is total bs. I'm so tired of the hero worshipping of "alpha dogs" in basketball. What is with the obsession with **** who try to posture all the time and flex their "masculinity". Why do people have such hard ons for people who treat everyone around them like **** in order to get ahead? Why is it better to be ruthlessly competitive rather than cooperative and collaborative? Every "alpha" I've ever met in my life was secretly deeply insecure and borderline paranoid often with something hidden in their closet. I don't hate a guy like LeBron he doesn't try to step on others to get ahead and I find that admirable.

What are you talking about? I don't think you understand the alpha/beta distinction. Being an alpha has nothing to do with stepping on people or being a dick. It's just about being your own man and leading others, not being led. Kobe isn't an alpha because he's ruthless. He's an alpha because he doesn't have a posse pulling the strings of his life.

LeBron got led to Miami by Wade, then steered back to Cleveland by Maverick Carter and Rich Paul. He's weak-minded. If LeBron wanted to go back to Cleveland, fine. But hearing that it's been Paul and Carter pushing him that way for 3 years? That's weak. This is the second-biggest decision of his career. He needs to own it, not let other people influence him.

When Kobe was demanding the Lakers upgrade, demanding more from his teammates, feuding with Shaq, do you think it was because someone he knew from his AAU years was whispering in his ear? Hell no. Kobe does what Kobe does because it's what Kobe wants to do.

[Vertical Limit]

meh... isn't there a minimum we have to spend salary wise? who the hell are we going to pay if Wade leaves... all of a sudden you start to feel really bad for Haslem.

[DWadeno3]

Wouldn't be surprised if Wade is gone as well. At least that'd allow us to go into full tank mode.

[DeeDub]

We signed McBob and Granger thinking that he was coming back, now what do we do? 7 mil to two role players.

I don't think they've actually signed yet. I'd give them a chance to back out if they agreed to terms based on the assumption LeBron would be here. If they don't want to back out, I'd try to re-work the McBob deal to have it be a 2 yr deal. I'd rather give him $17-18M over 2 and have him come off the books in 2016 than 23 over 4, even though it would be ridiculously overpaying him for those two years. WE don't have anyone else to give the cap space to now anyhow and it would be a no-brainer for him to jump at a 2/17 deal.

[Bourne85]

Can't even act like I didn't call Wade to bulls. Wow

[Jinsaryko]

But...people here told me no one wanted Wade but us.....

He ain't leaving though.

If Wade leaves us.... I am taking a break from the NBA for a few months until the season starts. I'm going to flip out.

[DWadeno3]

Nah Rio is gonna leave too.

[BFRESH44]
