Wow

568497066453942274

[D-Wade]

YES!!!!

Rumor has it we had to give up Cole, McBob and Birdman to do it however.

[apalisoc_9]

As I predicted with my sources..

[BatManu20]

Pat Riley is wheelin' and dealin'.


Unfortunately, it won't make much difference as the Cavs already have the East locked up.

[Stalin]

We staaaacked bitches!!

[Kamnik]

FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[baseline bum]

YES!!!!

Wow, that's a steal. LeBron must feel fucking retarded to have left now.

Hawks tbh. But I agree. Still, makes us much more respectable. Our PG rotation was arguably the worst in the league. Cole and Chalmers fell off a cliff.

[Jeremy]

Are the two first-round picks still in the deal? If they are lottery-protected, might as well wait for a sign-and-trade in summer!

[apalisoc_9]

I said he was going to Miami weeks ago

[Raven]

two firsts though.. phoenix got what they wanted, will see their protection

[spurraider21]

2 firsts and Dragic could easily bolt :lol

[baseline bum]

2 firsts and Dragic could easily bolt :lol

Miami was on Dragic's three team list, and probably #1 on it.

[spurraider21]

Miami was on Dragic's three team list, and probably #1 on it.
he was on the list, and they could offer a 5 year deal. but still, shit could go sour

[Killakobe81]

Thank goodness. Not happy about Brandon Knight I actually preferred him due to age over Dragic. ah, well. At least tank is alive and well.

[lefty]

Good fit TBH

[Malik Hairston]

Great move for Miami in the short-term, tbh..too bad they have Deng, he's so awful, but this should put them in a position to be able to compete with most of the top teams in the East, as long as Wade and Bosh are healthy..

Riley is such a terrible GM from a long-term perspective, though:lol..

[BatManu20]

Whoa. That's a haul.

Riles dont give a shit about tomorrow. he going all in while Wade is still relevant. Cubes doing the same in Dallas and Lakers did the same a few years back so far none have won, but I applaud the effort and short-sightedness ...

Nice..

[mavsfan1000]

Lebron back to Miami this summer. Lol

Whoa. That's a haul.

Well I guess it's time to try and make a run.

[D-Wade]

Well I guess it's time to try and make a run.

If only we had a bench and Wade was at least in 2011 form. :lol

Oh well, at least this makes things interesting

[RsxPiimp]

With Tragic and Reggie out, this only means, Rondo will be the FO biggest move this offseason. SMH

gonna help you out because apparently nobody gives a fuck

:lmao

[Thread]

Those picks are "way in the future...like 5 years from now, 2019, 2021."

[-21-]

Riley doing work. Getting Dragic for a bunch of scrubs. :lol

Chalmers may not be as terrible now that he's on the bench, but other than him we don't have much. Where do you think we go next year if we resign dragic? We will probably be near the salary cap if not over it, making it tough to bring back whiteside when his contract is up.

[illmatic]

That trade fell into his lap, calm down.

It's Top-7 protected 2017 pick plus unprotected 2021 pick.

Pissed away that Lakers pick for Brandon Knight, yay. Traded away IT for a late round first pick..today has been one big nut punch.

Not sure Cavs make ECF

[timtonymanu]

Great pickup. I hope Wade can stay healthy.

[Koolaid_Man]

I'm happy for the Heat. Anybody except Cleveland or San Antonia....keep in mind Riles gave up shit so if he walks they didn't lose either way. He's no where close to max though....

[hater]

Well I guess it's time to try and make a run.

Out of the building like in 2014? :lmao

[midnightpulp]

Why is Phoenix blowing it up? Just saw Thomas got traded.

[024]

Why is everyone so excited? The Heat still look pretty bad. Wade looks average and Bosh isn't even close to his pre-Lebron days. Throw in the injuries and their only upside is Whiteside. They still have no bench and Deng and Wade still suck.

Well they do have one of the worst PG rotations in the NBA, Cole/Napier/Chalmers. Dragic is a huge upgrade over them, may be that franchises' best true PG in years.

[Raven]

Awesome. Lakers avoid dat shit

just checked the free agency list, and after the trades, i'd say there is no good or great player the lakers can realistically target without a massive overpay like maxing enes kanter or similar.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Trading Norris Cole for a bag of cow manure would of been an upgrade for the Heat. Norris Cole along with Ramon Session are without a doubt 2 of the worst rotation point guards in the NBA.

[MarioSpeedwagon]

A haul of shit. CROFL Danny fucking Granger.

I know right? Four scrubs and a couple of mid to maybe even late first round picks

[Franklin]

Lebron :lmao

[Chillen]

It makes them better but Goran Dragic is not LeBron James.

& they're going to give him the 5 years, huh?

They'll live to regret that.

[Jeremy]

Barkley thinks they can get to the Finals.

[Sean Cagney]

Great pickup. I hope Wade can stay healthy.

Thats rare nowadays honestly. I like the pickup for Miami though.

[Phillip]

Barkley thinks they can get to the Finals.

They can. Not likely, Cleveland looks really good. But Miami should definitely be much improved.

[Thebesteva]

Did I not get the memo about Gordan Dragic? Last time I checked he was a solid starting player, nothing to lose your tits over

[D-Wade]

The same Barkley who said Wade was done in 2011 and has been hating on him ever since? Interesting.

You did. He was all-nba last year.

@ $20 mill a year.

we were talking about what is likely to happen, not what would be wise to do. It's pretty much a given that the lakers will sign an undeserving max free agent and overpay for a role player.. Wouldn't shock me if it was demonkey jordan and danny green for around 32per year

[mojorizen7]

Those picks are "way in the future...like 5 years from now, 2019, 2021."

Those picks are in the years 0-52 and 0-54. Pay attention.

[Chillen]

I don't think Miami can make the finals after this trade, sure it could happen but I doubt it. It's unlikely they can get past either Chicago or Cleveland, and perhaps the Wizards, Hawks. This is a trade made so they have enough juice to make the playoffs. Still think when the smoke clears it will be Bulls/Cavs ECF if all teams stay healthy.

[Killakobe81]

You might be right tbh ...and that wont get us a title. but if they do then what I said to you was right they wont be as bad as they were the past few years.

This with ATL and Wiz as darkhorses.

Doesn't change anything.

[z0sa]

Great trade for Miami.

Phoenix just looks lost out there.

[DAF86]

Could have Miami pulled this one even with Lebron on the roster? Dragic, Wade, Lebron, Bosh, that Whitesomething kid. It would have been something else.

[Thread]

McDonough & Sarver had their press conference this morning pushing another hour of Cowherd out of the way. Shoveling shit with 4 hands.

[RsxPiimp]

What could've been

Goatside
Bosh
Lebron
Wade
Dragic

vs

Mozgov
Love :lol
Lebron
Mike Miller
Irving

[ducks]

with no bosh???????????????????????????

[ducks]

Gordon would have wanted ball more then james and would not have wanted to go to heat with james

[AlexJones]

Those picks are "way in the future...like 5 years from now, 2019, 2021."

Vegas has your death date O/U at September 2019

[Chinook]

Miami's best hope is that they get a top-10 who's ready to play now. Then, they can use the MLE to add a wing. Then have Bosh and McRoberts come back healthy.

A Dragic/Wade/Deng/Bosh/Whiteside SL with Chalmers/MLE wing/draft pick wing/McRoberts/Anderson bench wouldn't be all that bad.

[tmtcsc]

Don't get me wrong, Goran Dragic is an upgrade for Miami at the PG position, but people are going waaaaay overboard on the impact he will have. This isn't a stroke of genius on Riley's part, this isn't a game changer for the Heat. This was nothing more than a good deal. By no means does this make them a contender. Analysts, like that Skinny black brother (Muhammad El Asim, Alluah Akbar) from ESPN, talking heads from Sirius NBA Channel, are going nuts and saying this move puts Miami right in the mix. How about we see what dude can do in Miami first before making this out to be the coup of the century?

Dragic didn't last in Phoenix, Houston, Phoenix, Houston and Phoenix again. There's no reason to believe he'll deserve max money, much less have staying power with the Heat. Is he their answer to Lebron leaving? Good Gawd.

Oh yeah, and Phoenix is a dogshit organization that just gave up on their team and fans. What a joke.

None of those squads played in the East. Im not saying what youre predicting wont come to pass, but he's probably gonna be licking his chops right now with the change of scenery. Not just on the court, either. Miami compared to Phoenix or Houston? Lol there is no comparison.
