Miami Heat Off-season thread 12.0 Roll over and die? Never!

How much more money are we giving Bosh compared to what Houston could have offered? Just curious, I'm thrilled that we are keeping him.

I'm not a fan of signing Deng. He's 29, but he's an old 29 if that makes sense. Then again, for some odd reason I want Pau Gasol.

Just hope we have some cap space in 2016, and I think Wade will allow for that to occur. Man, I love that guy. We may never get a player of his caliber that is as loyal as him (And UD) for decades.

They seem to want him (Thomas) as a 6th man.

That's a lot of firepower at guard position

... but they wont' sill make it out of the West with that size

Only team to give them a chance

That is nice to see

Nice to see some loyalty towards the Heat too lol

The tweet I saw saying Birdman is still considering returning to Miami said he's very loyal to Riley & Spo

Interesting that Bosh re-signing obviously has to do with the $ but also specifically mentions that he likes playing for Spo

That can't be true. So many of the basketball geniuses here have already estbalished that Spo is a moron with no clue how to use Bosh. :roll:

He averaged 16ppg as a third option soooo hopefully lol

This free agent class is so good, it would've set the team up for a bigger splash in 2016.

Eric Bledsoe

Greg Monroe

Gordon Hayward

Chandler Parsons

But noooooo, gotta pay Bosh a ridiculous amount, he better drop 25 points a game or something.

Just think Bosh, Monroe, Old Man Wade, and maybe somebody else in 2016

Or Bosh Bledsoe, Old Man Wade.

I think no matter what we got good options. Bledsoe, Deng, Monroe. All good options. Suns won't match. But Pistons will most likely.

Your cryptic tweets lol.

LeQuit left us, but who is coming to replace him?

If Riley can land Melo and Gasol, the Heat are back in the FInals.

A source close to the Heat told me the team had a feeling early on LeBron may leave, but he was tight-lipped the entire time until decision.

damn really? then why did we sign mcbob and granger?

Good question

I doubt Melo comes here. Don't think he wants to fill Bron's shoes.

I'm hoping for Gasol and Bledsoe or Gasol and Ariza. We need a scorer too though to pick up the load.

Listen to Pat Riley's Get a Grip speech.

The entire thing is a plea to LeBron James to stay.

Sometimes having a guy like LBJ limits other players real PLAYING opportunities which keeps them from considering us. The fact that DENG may be still interested in our team is very encouraging.

This could have been a very DARK day, I never got disappointed, but now I'm excited again.

It would be HUGE for him and this team.

Let's not forget, he got outplayed by Danny Green in the Finals.

This is a MUST.

not really. it was important before for players around lebron. wade will be more ball dominant this year. he'll be the one kicking out to long range shooters.

All 4 are restricted FAs, so their teams are likely to match .. while taking the full 3 days while Riles has to sit on his hands. Doesn't seem like the best idea.

It's not a must. He shot 33% on real 3s (excluding end of period prayers) and that's OK. At this point he is unlikely to ever be a great 3 pt shooter and I don't particularly want him taking many of them. He's more efficient in his comfort zone. He did get outplayed by Green, but that wasn't because of lack of 3 pt shooting.

I don't think that was to please Bron but just to pick up some solid role players.

lebron hamstrung the heat on purpose then. knew if hed give them time to prepare for his departure they couldve palnned more and made runs at players earlier

i dont think he would necessarily like it if the heat make it farhter than the cavs next season

it truly came down to riley vs lebron

that meeting in vegas mustve been like when pacino met de niro in the cafe during HEAT
