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

No doubt.

We had to tailor EVERYTHING to Lequit....... even Wade had to change his game to accomodate him. Let Cavaliers deal with that.

Honestly, I'll be glad that the irrational hatred will be lifted from Miami. That guy brought tons of hate to our city and our team......

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?

Well Granger isn't that bad, but the McBob signing was definitely an appeal move. Seems a bit premature now, but we are probably still going to go with him as a starter alongside Bosh. He will probably receive the brunt of the interior defensive assignments outside of Bosh now though.

Bledsoe available now????

sweet lord do I hope so. But.... Rich ****ing Paul

Oh yeah... I actually prefer Dogan Dragic? (the Euro guy) if he becomes available but I highly doubt it.

Bledsoe is still going to be out of our price range thanks to freaking greedy Richie Paul... we might just have to roll with Cole and Nappie

Dwyane HAS to develop some type of reliable three pointer this off-season.

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.

Yea this is not the same Wade. He can't even beat most single-coverage off the dribble.

I'm just being realistic here. He needs that element in his game to open up the paint for himself.

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

But who could we have gone after though? All the players we're looking at are still on the market.

Yup, Lebron is going to have to do double time on getting Kyrie to learn how to play with him. Dude plays terrible with Waters on the floor, I can imagine Lebron would be an even bigger adjustment.

I don't the Pistons or the Suns would match max money.

I think the Jazz would.

The Bosh/McBob front-court scares me. The only reason we could survive getting annihilated on the boards and not being able to stop post scorers was because we had one of the best offenses in NBA history. We're not going to be nearly as good offensively without LeBron, which means we need to rebound and defend the interior.

Someone poke Emeka Okafor. If he's ambulatory, I'd sign him.

I won't go as far as to insult, he did bring excitement to the city..BUT, PERSONALLY, I'm glad it's over, felt too manufactured after a while....I'm just excited that BOSH decided to stay and we now have a few more bucks to have a playoff teams. We don't need to be stacked like before, we need some adjustments.

Balanced scoring, team play, etc......

scares me too. we could survive being one of the worst rebounding teams in the nba cause of our offensive efficiency. Being that bad on the boards next year will be a death sentence

We seem to be infatuated with Deng. Mixed feelings.

Nah. I don't like him for sayig Miami was just "college" to him, and that Wade gave up the reigns of the team to him while he was still in his prime... just so Lequit can then ditch wade when its convenient.

He quit on a championship dynasty in the middle of it's run. We still had at LEAST 4 more years to compete.

Yeah, Im not excited about Deng. I think I rather have Ariza.

From the great words of "Rosie Perez" of the movie "white men can't jump - "Sometimes when you lose, you really win" - that's how I feel

im not high on deng but i trust riley over me any day of the week. maybe they think he is game for a finals run

a deng/wade/bosh core is not good enough to win a chip but its good enough to compete in the east thats for sure

I'd rather have a lot of players, they FIRST have to want to play for us....Ariza has never discussed Miami, even when we had LBJ....No more leverage players. Bosh set the bar.....He said he wanted to be here and he stayed.....
