Puff puff, pass

Real talk though. I hope he retires because the Heat could only replace him with a minimum player, assuming they plan to use the MLE and LLE no matter what (which James will insist on or he walks).
No. 12-13 wasn't over either for Pop. This is now over 2 years running. Now, NOW, now he has it running at the peak of precision. It ain't up to OKC, Clippers, Cuban, Riley (he turned loose of the wheel), it's up to Pop. & he won't turn loose of it. And you know what else? He knew it the moment the '13 Finals tipped.
Det Miami bench would be nuked tbh. Unless Wade pulls a Manu and comes off the bench to find his mojo, all they have is Pedo Man. When Spolmaostra put Allen in the starting lineup in the last game, that was over.
They can bring back Allen, Cole, Andersen, Lewis, James Jones, add Napier, and can use the MLE on someone like Marion or Okafor and the LLE on someone like Carter. They can be much deeper than last year.
I don't think Carter or Marion leave since Melo is a longshot to join Dallas. Okafor is decent but has been on the decline since his rookie season. In any case, I don't think Lebeta wants the same supporting cast back since they sucked when it counted.
Then he's going to have to go to Cleveland or Phoenix, which I really don't see happening.
Who knows. Wherever he goes, that team's ceiling is the conference finals.
If he comes here I'll simply lose my in' mind on a daily basis. I won't be able to take. I'm tellin' you right now before it starts. I'll go crazy. I'll run amok.
more so than the east, Cub. OKC, Clips, Rockets, Blazers, Mavs, Grizzlies, Warriors are tougher than anybody out east
Of course its meaningless IF THEY WIN GOLD. I see them going over the cap anyway to sign some guys and into the tax. But what I was truly getting at is what if this team doesn't win a championship again which is a high possibility. They sure as didn't do it this year.
Per media cliche bull : If they're really "WORN OUT" as the media cried out, then how will they not be "WORN OUT" again..making the finals AGAIN Thus, the argument of them being worn out is a fallacy. I sincerely doubt that Riley isn't thinking "What if I sign all three of these guys and they fail again.....then they get older......fail to make the semis?!.....get older. ME!? What am I paying them for." He's going to have to deal with those bloated contracts. If these players stay together for the next 3 years, we'l see if the Heat organization will try to implement the strategy of the Spurs.
Too much people have unrealistic perceptions of the Heat that they believe this team can up and do it again like magic not realizing players depreciate, e.g., "We got this; Three Peat!".
Then I don't blame you because the NBA and Twitter only says how great LeBron James is 7000 times per day. Now think of the world. Then..you realize you've been progressively brainwashed. Congrats and that...I blame you.
As far that cap space is concerned.....they don't even have a damn team as it is. They're isn't going to be a championship team unless these mother ers sign.

The heat aren't doing until Lebron comes out with the decision part 2.
How about the Lakers Cul? Any chance Kobe redeems himself after giving up 5>4?
The only conversation should focus on one thing and it's this: Duncan>Kobe
Yet the truth still stands: Duncan>Kobe became official last June 14 and you know it. Let us proceed.
None of 'em, not one of them have a clue on how to get what you've got. They're nothing more than countless Chinese fire drills going off every April & May. They're not even close, not even remotely in the neighborhood. You've got the opportunity to trod ground that ain't been trod since the '60s.
Talk about overreactions. Miami runs into a buzzsaw and gets its ass kicked in one series and you're writing their epitath. Who in the East is going to beat them? Brooklyn is done, Derrick Rose is done so Chicago is also, New York doesn't have room to improve, Orlando and Milwaukee have a couple of nice young players, but they're still a few years from being good, Cleveland is a trainwreck, Philly is still in tank mode, Atlanta's big move with all that capspace is signing Thabo Sefalosha. Toronto just doesn't seem to have the talent to be more than a regular season team. Maybe Boston has a chance if they can land Love for cheap and Detroit might become good if Drummond can reach his potential, but those are huge ifs. I know, but the popular thing these days is to parrot ESPN and act like the Heat are in need of an overhaul. I imagine people would have said the same about the Lakers when Houston destroyed them in five games in 1986 if we had Spurstalk and Sportscenter back then.Of course its meaningless IF THEY WIN GOLD. I see them going over the cap anyway to sign some guys and into the tax. But what I was truly getting at is what if this team doesn't win a championship again which is a high possibility.

James is 29 and Bosh is 30, so Miami isn't going away for a few years if they bring all three back. I know the big thing is to hate on Wade, but Ginobili looked way worse in 2013 and came back and had a really strong 2014 season.
Wonder if James thought heat should have lost last year to spurs also
Is it Azria or bust
The Spurs showed LeBron that the heat are just not good enough anymore. even if the the big three come back
they still need help to replace Wade. Wade was rested through the season and was gassed in the finals. He should now
come off the bench. The need more of a bench to keep the starters from playing long season minutes. This is all nothing new
now, will the Heat want to spend the money to keep the Heat the best in the east.
How the would we know, nobody dared to ever ask him. It's like it never happened,,,the ring just fell from the sky while you snuck down to the airport there in Miami. Christ, nobody even mentioned it until May.
I would ask James not afraid of him
Well, when the big shots at ESPN tell "you" not to ask. You don't ask. ESPN did not want him disturbed in the shadow of the '13 Finals. And they were obeyed...to...the...letter.
I wasn't attacking you...although it did seem that way because I'm a smart ass.
You're telling me things I already know. The east is gaping and it will continue to be gaping till a new champion arises. As of now, they need to sign their contracts. To me, there is not a Miami Heat team until they sign those contracts. That's a current fact. Indiana is a mental enigma of "don't worry be happy" players. I don't see them ever winning anything until they get over themselves and shoot the ball with confidence.
Its not only sportscaster or center or whatever though..its the entire world that spreads this. I can't hear any type of broadcast without hearing how much of a deity LeBron is. Its almost like a religious cult. It made the Olympics almost unbearable.
The ultimate thing about my opinion of the Heat is that we've already seen their best. They can only do so many things to put a ball through a rim. I expect them employ the same damn strategy with new players. Its their best strategy.
I don't expect any different from them. Watched them so much to see them lose that I know their damn plays.
