Man I can't wait to watch this team. It's like an all-star team.
Holy . Who are you?

Dear Dallas, All Of North Texas and Dallas Mavericks Supporters Wherever You May Be Today;
As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in Florida, no longer has a chance to be a Dallas Maverick.
This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating without a national TV special of his "decision" unlike anything ever "witnessed" in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.
Clearly, this is bitterly disappointing to all of us.
The good news is that the ownership team and the rest of the hard-working, loyal, and driven staff over here at your hometown Mavericks have not betrayed you nor NEVER will betray you.
There is so much more to tell you about the events of the recent past and our more than exciting future. Over the next several days and weeks, we will be communicating much of that to you.
You simply don't deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal.
You have given so much and deserve so much more.
In the meantime, I want to make one statement to you tonight:
"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE DALLAS MAVERICKS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE HASLEM WINS ANOTHER ONE"
You can take it to the bank.
If you thought we were motivated before tonight to bring the hardware to Dallas, I can tell you that this shameful display of selfishness and betrayal by one of our very own has shifted our "motivation" to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels.
Some people think they should go to heaven but NOT have to die to get there.
Sorry, but that's simply not how it works.
This shocking act of disloyalty from the "coattailer" sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn. And "who" we would want them to grow-up to become.
But the good news is that this heartless and callous action can only serve as the antidote to the so-called "curse" on Dallas, Texas.
The self-declared "role player" will be taking the "curse" with him down south. And until he does "right" by Dallas and Texas, Haslem (and the town where he plays) will unfortunately own this dreaded spell and bad karma.
Just watch.
Sleep well, Dallas.
Tomorrow is a new and much brighter day....
I PROMISE you that our energy, focus, capital, knowledge and experience will be directed at one thing and one thing only:
DELIVERING YOU the championship you have long deserved and is long overdue....

Jefferson/Bonner returning.
Relax.
Good signing for the Heat.. But we all knew the guy wasnt going to go anywhere anyway with him being from MIA and being close to Riles and Wade. Haslem is a pretty good defender and rebounder for his size and can also knock down the mid-range J.
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/m...,1392457.story
Instead of packages from other teams that could have reached $34 million over five seasons, Haslem, 30, is expected to sign off on a four-year Heat package at about a third of that total, although details still are being sorted out.
So about $11mil for 4 years
close to $3mil per year
When will the Sun Sentinel come out with the under-the-table handouts? Because we all know they're there.
The handouts are not money. It's playing with Wade, Lebron, and Bosh. Heck he would almost play free to do that.
So the dude left 20 million on the table to maybe win 2-3 rings???? Props to him I would have taken the $$$
I agree solid move ...
Im not shaking in my boots but that is a good move for the Heat ...
Haslem was born in Miami, Florida.
Went to college for the University of Florida.
Played Pro-ball his entire career for the Miami Heat.
Took a home team discount in 2005 when other teams had bigger offers on the table.
No surprise he takes less. This is history in the making right here.
The money is what's guaranteed. The rings are not. Should have done the smart thing and taken the payday to still play for a good team (Denver).
So MiamiHeat, who do you want them getting at center? You're gonna need someone productive there if you want an elite defense.
5yrs/20million
no state tax rules .....
Fun fact :
Haslem played college ball with Mike Miller for the Gators. Now they will be teammates again 10 years later.
^^^Yeah, Haslem really sets the standard for guys staying loyal to their home-town. Not everyone has that kind of heart.
so would losing. In fact NOT winning would be a bigger story ...Vegas has them as the favorites and they hadnt signed anyone ELSE yet ...
james leaves hometown
and you think it is a suprise this dude does not
copy paste
Joel Anthony is more than good enough. Plays defense, great shot blocker, and can rebound. His offense sucks, but we don't need him for that.
Joel Anthonystarts,
Big Z off the bench.
Magloire 3rd string (if he accepts vet min)
I just checked out his stats on the internet, his rebound rate has consistently been 11 his whole career. Which is super-pitiful, All it looks like he can do is block shots and post defend. Maybe that's enough given the team he is on. But he's a fairly ty player.
You really think Joel Anthony is gonna provide enough size for them? I like him as their back up but he's only 6'9" and isn't extremely thick. I figured they need a lane clogging presence like Kendrick Perkins so Bosh can stick to defending the high post/pick and rolls.
