Why are you guys saying the Heat are going to suck next year? They play in the East, Wade/Bosh can easily make the ECF.

Rockets gave up a 1st rounder for nothing. Bosh screwing them so bad :lol

Wow, just wow. Bosh took the money. Wow.

Lin is actually a serviceable PG. Lakers also got a 1st round pick. If you're the Lakers, you walk away from this bloodbath of a day fairly happy.

[Nathan89]

The West is tough enough. Great news.

Was kinda liking the idea of watching James Harden and crew beat OKC though. That would burn OKC fans so bad.

[hsxvvd]

This day just keeps getting better...


Gasol next please.

[Pelicans78]

shit at least we got a top 12 PG out of it and a 1st rd pick

Seriously? He may not even be top 20.

Now if the Rockets match Parsons, that will weaken the Mavs as well unless they get Ariza on a decent contract.

Rox would have won the West with Bosh had they kept Parsons...Parson and Lin are studs to me....it's them niggas( Harden and Dwight) in Houston that are fuck-ups tbh

[Thread]

not everybody :lol

Among the 3 principles involved. Houston loses obviously. Bosh loses because he can't ring thru Florida. And Riley loses obviously.

[Banzai]

Now really all that remains is Gasol and Carmelos decisions. I wonder where both end up.

I don't know about winning the West, but, they would have been upright and clean with Bosh & Parson. Now, it's once again muddled & pedestrian.

Hate to see people sad.

Bosh just showing loyalty to the team he won rings for. What an admirable player.

Damn, why does Miami even want to keep Bosh? :lol Throwing the max at him is plain crazy. Unless they just really wanted to fuck the rockets over for some reason.

I don't understand this at all. Obviously great from the spurfan perspective though in that the Rockets remain middle-tier in the WC.

Bosh just showing loyalty to the team he won rings for. What admirable player.

Then what was he doing in bed with Houston?

Loyalty not involved, but, I'd certainly like to know what he's thinking. Doesn't make a lick of sense. And Riley once again turns loose of the wheel. Incredible.

[Pelicans78]

Lin is a top 12 PG Rox just didn't respect or nurture his talents / abilities. Kobe will turn him into a beast...mark my words

He needs the ball in his hands. Doesn't play well off the ball. That's why he struggled next to Harden.

But I can think of 12 more talented PGs.

[ElNono]

So are the LOLckets going for Carmelo/Pau now?

[DPG21920]

Wow. I wonder if HOU will renege on Lin and keep the pick/player now? If not, they still have the ability to offer Melo money (or Pau but that is doubtful), but man, they have very little time to do everything and must decide with that offer sheet for Parsons looming.

[Robz4000]

Bosh doesn't need anymore rings. He's not chasing rings.

[Thread]

Damn, why does Miami even want to keep Bosh? :lol Throwing the max at him is plain crazy. Unless they just really wanted to fuck the rockets over for some reason.

I don't understand this at all.

Exactly. They bled him out. Now was the opportunity to let somebody else buy it. I just can't believe Riley here. What a disappointment on a certain level.

[DPG21920]

Thank goodness! Bosh (even if he went the gutted roster route) would be a little scary with HOU. If he took a nice paycut with HOU it would have been really scary. Now the Heat aren't scary and Rockets while good are worse than they were and have little cap flexibility if they match Parsons.

This has worked out fantastic for the Spurs so far.

[Thread]

Bosh and Wade in the east do not equal ECF.
Sorry they don't.

Exactly. They're common now, all the warts will surface and it's going to be unsightly.

He´s trying to save the boat, everyone is drowning but since Brosh is staying we wont see how good is Sporkstra coaching a crippled team.

[DPG21920]

People saying Bosh/Wade are a lock for the ECF are crazy. They have no one else right now :lol? No Bron means no rest for Wade and can he hold up/produce with normal minutes? They have no bench and no starters right now. They have room to make more moves obviously (Ariza/Deng/ect..) but they are not in a good spot. Fringe playoff team depending on their moves. Even in the East.

That's because Harden is not a Champion not a winner...he can't do what Kobe can do with people....Harden is a loser....and no there are not 12 PG's better than Lin right now....Lin is a baller people genuinely discriminate because he Asain...Kobe will teach him a lot...

[RD2191]

Bosh and Wade in the east do not equal ECF.
Sorry they don't.
Sorry, but they do. Who's gonna take em out? The Hawks? The Wizards? Bobcats? Raptors? Nets? Pacers and Bulls are their only threats out East. And the Cavs of course.

You have to know when to get up and walk away. I thought Riley had learned that when they got up and walked away from him in California.

He fell in "love" with these 3 and it's killing him.

Harden is not a (loser) yet. He's loitering that section, but, he has a chance to escape. The clock though is running down.

This tbh. Wiz are head and shoulders better, while the Raptors and Bobcats are roughly even. Nyets are garbage tho.

But, why?

I bet he has about 31 million reasons.

[Nathan89]

Wait till the Heat actually get some more players before declaring them ECF contenders.

[mudyez]

Maybe keeping his AllStarGame streak going (in the East its way easier) + money trumps ships.

[Thread]

I bet he has about 31 million reasons.

No. It's not the money. He knew the money was always there. Something happened to queer the Houston aspect. But, we're no privy so we'll never know. Hell, it won't even be asked.

[SupremeGuy]

But, why?Gave up Lin and a first for nothing? Not to mention, they got strung along for days. Morey isn't feeling too good right now, I'll tell you that much.

Bosh doesn't give a hang about losing Lin, or, that draft choice. This is out of left field. Something queered it. I'd give my left nut to know the reason.

Riles already knew Wade is on the decline, Dwhistle should be the one taking less money to sign some big shot that was the beginning of the end...
Dude is loaded but done as a player and pretends to make 14 million a year because if he wanted to be greedy would be asking for 20 mil what a fucking pig.

then u can go target guys like stephenson, deng or even bring both in....

No Bron means no rest for Wade and can he hold up/produce with normal minutes?

We already have the answer to that unfortunately after he was sent in when Lebron started cramping and didn't look like himself for the rest of the series. The dropoff from his ECF play and the 1st half of game 1 against you guys was something I've never seen.

[D-Wade]

That said, I do think Miami will be in the playoffs next year. It's the east. We just have to avoid Cleveland or Indy in rd 1 lol.

^How's the morning after, -?

[DPG21920]

I think as currently (logically constructed) with Bosh/Wade/Napier/Haslem/Cole they are fringe playoff team. Depending on if they can add other pieces they might cement themselves. As of now they have no starters and no bench and Bosh/Wade are not nearly good enough to win with that at this point.

Pretty much. Their only competition will be the Cavs with Bron.

In fact, I see a great new rivalry of the Heat vs. Cavs blooming. Should be a pretty exciting year in the NBA.

[Biernutz]

Looks like the Heat are putting together a good 6 seed in the east...let's see how many Heat "fans" show for
the game in San Antonio with their Bosh gear on.....

[Nathan89]

Bulls will crush this Heat team. Butler will take Wade out of the game and Bosh will have difficulties scoring with Noah anchoring.

[Franklin]

Does it mean the Lockets are bound to match our offer for Parsons? 15m/yr for a 2nd round drafted white schoolboy :lmao

[Thread]

And I love how Media is now pro-Bosh. Yeah, he was DOA last June even after Allen hit. Beneath contempt, THE REASON why the Heat didn't repeat, had to be run off, not worth a tinker's dam. They get thoroughly destroyed this June and he's feted during the whole fucking commotion and now beyond and a max contract. Yeah, it's supported by the rank & file.

Fuckin' phony bastards.
