The heat org likes that he is a hard worker ( Thibs used him to over up all the flaws), a defensive minded player and well he is an SF and we just lost our SF

His assignment with the bulls was to also guard Lebron

That's how I feel too. Don't get me wrong, losing LBJ is no joke and he's the best player in the world. I am still a fan of his game but I am even a bigger fan of Riley (if that makes sense). We are not going to be title contenders but we will be competitive. Hopefully Riley builds one more championship team before he retires. I don't even feel the sting of LeBron leaving. Hearing more about the reasons why he left and the home factor + Cavs young roster was simply too much for Riley to overcome.

Lebron did say that coming to miami was like college as in it made him a better player and person.

Not sure why people feel that's bad.. He was never at home here because this was/is wade county.

Nothing wrong with that and that is why I don't blame him.
However if he does end up being the goat, we can say that we trained him. ;)

I just feel, If we can put a big body down there to defend and grab rebounds, we'd be better off than trying to get a SF to fill LeBron's shoes. Mcbob and Bosh C/PF is a pretty weak combo in all honesty.

Deng plus Wade will create problematic spacing especially if we are going to feature Bosh more and not use him as a floor spacer/3 point shooter.

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


If y'all fill out the roster correctly around those three, then you could still be almost guaranteed to be a top 4 team in the East and competitive enough to make a run at the Finals IMO.

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......


Dude the Hate will never go away, the Media will keep us as the enemy. They will always treat as going to Miami is like making a deal with the devil.

I'm with WD.
Also I felt that we had to game plan exclusively for Lebron spreading the floor and the clock was shortened due to this.
Also the constant hate, plus the stress of failure was too much at times.
Hey, we won 2 chips and were 4 times Finalists.
Let's just put a competitive product on the court and target 2016. But we still need commitments and what Better than Bosh, who still a virtually young player.

Guys.. Pls let's not act like Cleveland circa 2010.

Let's keep it classy. Should be interesting to see wade now by himself without having to defer.

Bosh/McBob is pretty bad rebounding wise


They averaged 10 Rebs combined together


Lol I know Bosh's will go up cause he played with Lebron who rebounds well
And McBob did play with al Jefferson

But still not rebounding machines

Well off season not done yet

Return to Miami Heat
