Wade would have to take a paycut down to $12 million if the Heat renounced everyone, including Haslem. If Riley doesn't want to do Haslem dirty Wade would have to take something in the range of $9 million.

Makes the Clippers' Hawes signing look even better, too, since Hawes is a similar type of player but better....

I think Bosh/Rox interest is real. Rox advanced stats gurus love 3's and Bosh has basically become a stretch 4 with 3pt range added to his mid-range arsenal. He is a solid pnr defender though weak on the block. Having Dwight and BOsh as a frontcourt works really well together and the added spacing should help Harden and Dwight ... which I did not think always worked well last year despite the hype. if they could solidify their PG situation ROX would really be legit contenders and maybe leap CLips as the #3 threat in the West.

Melo isn't taking less than max. The only possible way to make it work is a Bosh sign and trade to New York for Melo. Then Wade plays for about $8 million or so to allow them to still pay out that MLE to McRoberts.

Broussard is a moron. A max offer for Bosh would be 4 years, 35% of the cap starting salary, with 5% non-compounded raises. It would be 4 years, $95 million, just like the max offer repeatedly reported for Carmelo.

People would just say he is too scared to compete with the best if his era. And Chris bosh getting offered a max deal with the Rockets?? Do any of these general managers even watch basketball? He is basically a $10 million a year player at the most. I can't even fathom people being dumb enough to give that clown a max contract.

I was going to say that agreeing to terms with McRoberts screws MIA even if Bosh leaves probably. If Bosh leaves, McRoberts no longer gets the "MLE". He would get the cap space. If that is the case, 2 things happen:

1) They renege on McRoberts allowing them to offer a max deal to Bron/Melo and Wade takes his normal paycut he was going to take.

2) They keep McRoberts, but now have 5M less in cap space and how does that impact their ability to sign Melo?

If Bosh doesn't leave (or Wade), then their entire means of improving is gone with McRoberts/Granger signing for the MLE/BAE

It's difficult to switch gears 3/4 of the way thru the playoffs. It's what you've done for 100 games and you're consciously and subconsciously a willing slave to the protocol. You do not want to give the recipe up, the regimen because it has not failed you (in this case over almost 2 Junes). It's what happened to us in '91 against the Bulls. We needed to switch it out and have Scott bring it up, but, there was no way Magic was giving that ball up no matter what.

Djohn now you thinking like a boss. I agree money is too much but unlike Melo I think this is a perfect fit even if Melo is the better player ... not a 2k14 move but a really smart fit and power play. you can weaken the Heat at the same time. Besides for Rox though they have not made it out of first round ... the title window is now. Everyone is talking how young the core is but look how quick Wade fell off a cliff.

I agree. I like that by Morey offering that deal, it forces Riley to either sign Bosh now or tell him they don't want him. It forces Bosh's hand as well, as Melo is just sitting there waiting for him to leave. I can't believe Bosh doesn't see that. Also, it does weaken the Heat as well since Wade is the biggest problem, not Bosh.

BRoussard reporting Bosh has told Rox that he plans to stay in Miami and and plans to play with Lebron. Classy if potentially financially stupid by Bosh. At least Rox if they know Melo is not an option can re-sign Parsons before Mavs swoop in. if true (it's Broussard) then my guess no way Bosh takes much less than $20 million, maybe 18 gets it done? But no way he should take much less. When Rox offered max.

I dont get why he would want Melo over Bosh. Yes, Bosh can be soft at times but he was not being featured enough tbh. I dont think he has hit the point of no return like Pau after 2011 but like Gasol I think the coach not utilizing Him properly is part of the issue, and I like Spo. I think they spent so much time making sure Wade/Bron could mesh ...Bosh's game suffered for it. I just hope his comments about not banging in the post anymore is not because a lack of heart now that he has won. But he should have at least 2 highly productive seasons left. James should sign a two year extension same as Bosh and see if Wade is continues to decline. in 2016 many team will have cap space praying for durant. and lebron will probably still be the best player and choose whatever team he wants.

Dumbasses over at CF calling Love a top 5 player. I'm just about over this Free Agency bull.

If you look at just offense you can make a case for Love as top 5. And harden not too far off that ...Problem is other end. Dwight if he continues to play like he did at end of Blazers series is easily better than both and can defend...but can he do that?

Dwight has 2-3 more prime years where he can play like that. So they have to go for it all now. Plus, they won't have max space next year anyways.

How Fatmelo isn't getting LeBron-level hate for actively dragging this shit out and even lying about when he was supposed to decide is beyond me....

GMs are getting restless are are leaking to media the motive for this. The reason he isn't getting any hate is because the media is going with the story of him to Miami.

This fat shit is pissing me off, too.

On the other hand, I really think Lebron wants him in Miami and they're seeing what Bosh does.


Another theory is that Anthony is waiting to see what happens with free agent Chris Bosh. Houston has offered Bosh a max contract. If Bosh were to sign with the Rockets, it would open up significant cap space for the Heat, who could then make a run at Anthony.

LeBron James and Anthony have long expressed a desire to play together. So Anthony could be waiting to find out what James will do as well.

I think James might want Bosh out of town. I know it's makes zero sense from a basketball standpoint, since Miami loses their only center and Bosh is better fit, but James really wants Melo, especially now that Melo has become something of a stretch 4.

Or it could be Melo wants to force an S&T to Chicago.

Who fuckin knows anymore. These faggots are holding everything up.

They have to do a salary dump for the first max slot. Plus Rich Paul is going to get Tristan Thompson paid if he can deliver James to Cleveland.

Nice when we are on the same page DJ. Dont get me wrong ... I still hate Dwight. But I can take the emotion out of it. He played WELL in that Blazers series Parsons and Harden shit the bed tbh ...cuz you dont blame role players or scrubs like Beverly and Lin.

I don't even understand how he is still thinking about this. Assuming he stayed with Lebron and won another championship, is it really worth $10million per year just for a ring?

Bosh isn't worth that. This deal reeks of desperation from the Rockets.

I heard on the local ESPN affiliate this morning that there is problems twixt Howard and (the guard, fuckin' mental block on the name) and that Bosh will not go back to that bickering again. And that is a shame because he would fit there like a glove.

I saw he reported something about that, he would only stay if LeBron stays. However, LeBron needs to make a decision too. It's clear he doesn't want Bosh there. No one wants to look like the bad guy forcing him out for Melo.

http://ir0.mobify.com/project-mobifyme/216/http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/borowitzreport/450445822-580.jpg

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—N.B.A. superstar LeBron James said Tuesday morning that he would announce the name of the team that he is signing with on Thursday at a special session of the United Nations General Assembly to be convened especially for that purpose.

“This decision affects everyone on the planet,” James said. “I want to let all the nations on Earth know at the same time.”

An emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday was deadlocked on the issue, with seven members wanting James to remain in Miami, seven others hoping for a return to Cleveland, and Lithuania abstaining.

The Miami Heat president, Pat Riley, and the Cleveland Cavaliers owner, Dan Gilbert, both confirmed that they would be in the audience at the United Nations to hear James announce his decision. “I’m not going to lie: I wish he’d tell me in advance,” Riley said. “But I guess I’ll have to wait to hear along with Russia, China, Ecuador, and everybody else. That’s the way LeBron wants it.”

To help him with his decision, the N.B.A. star has assembled an esteemed circle of advisers, including Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and the scientist Stephen Hawking, all of whom are expected to be in attendance for the United Nations announcement.

The U.N. General Secretary, Ban Ki-moon, acknowledged on Tuesday that the world body had many other issues on its plate, including conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, but added, “It’s really hard to focus on anything until we know where LeBron is going.”

Even if Bosh leaves, MIA wouldn't have max offer for Melo if Lebron takes the max. Assuming Wade takes a big paycut and gets around 12M, they still don't have a max offer for Melo (including if they renege on Granger & McRoberts).

Well, I guess technically that is not true. If Wade takes 12M and the Heat renege on Granger/McRoberts/Haslem they could fit in Melo.

This really makes Bosh look like a fag. I'm almost scared to see him accept the offer from Houston. If he can't play with his daddy in Miami the bitch could have a Lamar Odom episode.

What's the holdup? Bosh is never going to get a contract like this ever again. This is the biggest amount of money he will get for a contract. He would be an idiot to turn it down.

Wow Bosh is a gigantic faggot.

Why would he turn down max money? He's a third banana wherever he decides - his legacy won't grow with more rings. I can't believe he's even thinking about this - max money to play in his hometown.

If he was chasing rings, he'd actually do that tbh. Sadly he's too caught up in the legacy talk and to make matter worse, he has to take care of all his YES men along with the faggot that he calls his agent. He needs to realize that the sooner he cuts off the baggage, the better he'll be financially when he retires. I could seem them (especially Paul) suing him in the future.

BTW players like Duncan & Dirk don't even have agents.
