Wild stuff. I thought the big 3 was going to have a fairy tale ending. Nope, not in the slightest.
It's been so ugly that when we look back at those years, it's tough to be happy and enjoy that time.
It begins and ends with Lebron in my mind. Such an enigma. Who goes back to the **** show he left? Nobody. No. Body.
I guess he saw the writing on the wall and realized how difficult it would be to contend while paying huge contracts to a select few, one of which was an injury concern. Very self preserving. Goes back to a clean slate in Cleveland with every possible advantage given and still feels the need to string Miami along in free agency.
At that point I suppose Miami was supposed to curl up and die, but they didn't. They found a bunch of players and rebuilt their team almost instantly. Pretty awesome actually. Too quick to pay Wade his Kobe contract though. We needed him to continue to sacrifice. Now the cap goes up and everyone gets paid and Wade is left to wonder how much more he will have to sacrifice in order to build a Cleveland opposing contender in his twilight. I'm sure Lebron has been whispering in his ear telling him to get paid, tearing down the last remaining piece of what could have been his chief rival for East supremacy. Take him on a banana boat while a whale is visiting Miami. /conspiracy theory.
