[HEYMANQueHoraEs]

Gasol to Bulls for 6.5 mil?????? We couldn't have given him that??? What makes the Bulls a better situation than Miami for someone like Gasol? We badly need a center.

And Ariza for 8 mil per year? And we're going after Deng for 14 mil?

If Lebron came here and recruited him, he comes here


We don't look as appetizing as we use to


We could have gotten Gasol and Ariza


Lol god damn it

We're still a better situation than the Bulls though...

D-Rose is a question mark

If Reinsdorf would have amnestied boozer for that 16m cap space they would be a whole hell of a lot more terrifying.

[GreenHat]

well, watch the cavs suck bad...and him return to us lol....

lebron is a joke as competitor.. i supported him here..but seriously imagine jordan/magic/kobe/duncan/wade/bird touring from team to team to win titles...

If any of those guys were drafted to Cleveland they would have left as well. I don't see anything wrong with choosing your job based on which situation you prefer.

[HeatDaChamps]

Its still crazy that we're targeting deng and nobody else. I mean, I know we need a SF, but is he the only option?

[DefenseWins]

spinal tap?

He underwent that procedure when we faced them in 2013 2nd Round.

wow, remember hiim being hurt but dont remember it being his spine... thas not a good sign

Thibs ran this dude to this ground


We won't do that... Spo better not do that, spo actually didn't even do that to Lebron in the regular season

[Grumpy Heat Fan]

Lebron doesn't have the balls to leave Cleveland again, it won't happen.

If E and Turtle want LeBron in a different city they will move him again.

Genius. I wonder if their inner circle actually fleshed out "who is who" among themselves. We know who Vince is... I wouldn't be surprised if they modeled themselves after that life style.

Loved that show btw.

Woj said we were in talks with Ariza yesterday. I'm guessing he just picked what he saw as a better situation.

[DefenseWins]

Its still crazy that we're targeting deng and nobody else. I mean, I know we need a SF, but is he the only option?

The only option that would pick us


I really want to know what offer we have Ariza because we weren't in the running anymore...


I guess he likes Houston's situation better

[HeatDaChamps]

@ByTimReynolds 13s

If he comes back motivated wanting to kick brons butt in the playoffs... Maybe

But... eh

I think it was the system. Gasol was looking for a contender that played a system that was conducive to his game. I think that was the reason why Gasol did not give Miami a real look. Miami offensive system and D'Antoni system are very similar.

[heatlespeatles]

I understand being mad at Lebron for leaving. But the guy left his hometown on a national television show, was part of a rally in MIA right after where he danced around on stage and predicted multiple championships. I could never be more mad at him than a Cleveland fan. He gave us 4 great years and carried this team on his back to 2 straight chips. How are you calling him LebUm, LeQUit, Lewhateverelse? For what?

The question is, why do you care? I don't agree with it as I don't hold a grudge against LeBron and am glad we had those four years we did, but I'm more pissed off about the morons coming in here, basically telling us our organization wouldn't be s*** without LeBron. If people wanna trash LeBron, I don't care, because he's no longer a Heater. It ain't my thing because I'm not attached to any players, knowing we'll be successful either way. But the motherf***ers coming in here and trashing our organization and the people in it, that's the s*** that doesn't fly with me.

I don't see people taunting us. I saw more hate for us when he came here. Why do I care? Because I'm grateful. Im mad but i cant be more mad at the dude, Cleveland dealt with a more demoralizing loss when he chose to come to Miami. Why will i act like he wasn't the reason we did the great things we did the last 4 years. Should i unremember him carrying us on his back in the Boston series in 2012? in the chicago series in 2011, in practically every series this year? Forget that?

Few things to also remember though and i've thought of this and cooler heads have prevailed. Lebron looks at Miami and he sees Wade's legacy, wade county, wade's city, wade's organization. Yes we embraced him but Wade is beloved here.

LeBron wants his own legacy, his own city, his own organization. Cleveland is his, he is Cleveland's (technically). He wants to write his own story, without people saying he needed to team up to do it. Thats probably something he also learned here. As great as those years were, he came to Wade's team and when you grow up and you start to reflect on your place in history, you want to build your own path. SO he went home, and he was always going home, it was a matter of time.

Stop being so spiteful and move on.

I knew Rio was coming back the moment Lebron bolted. This deserves it's own Le Batard rant.

[Rock Hardy]

Rio is better than Cole and Napier right now. I don't think this is debatable. Plus, of the 3, he's the only one that's not a midget. Livingston would look like even more of an all-star against us if we roll out just Cole and Shabazz. I'm fine with this.

Damn. We played this small ball because that is how we had to play. Should have sold him on the first 3 years of Spo ball.

Bulls got a good deal.
