Lolckets could've traded CITA for a bar of soap and still come out on top. It's amazing that slope is getting paid for playing average ball for a couple weeks against the tiest teams with horrible PGs in the east a couple years ago.
More mind games from the 3 Kings. They are all staying. This "drama" is all scripted. The haters are getting their hopes up for nothing, tbh.

give me the same heat team with n
pi
r back again in the finals tbh
Thinking we're hoping the Heat would blow up, Spurs fan don't give a right now
I hope so. That means if they crawl to the Finals again, they're gonna get swept.
You're supposed to kill yourself after the Finals. Why are you still alive?
The Philadelphia 76ers have expressed a willingness to trade for Houston Rockets guard Jeremy Lin depending on what sort of assets Houston is willing to attach to the deal, according to sources close to the process.
Sources told ESPN.com that the Sixers, who have ample room on their payroll to absorb Lin's contract, have emerged as a leading contender to take on Lin in a trade that sends no salary back to the Rockets, which would enable the Rockets to extend a rich offer in free agency to either Carmelo Anthony or Chris Bosh.
Sources say that the Milwaukee Bucks are another team that would consider trading for Lin if the Rockets add a sweetener or two to the deal for the privilege of shedding Lin's contract to a team that can comfortable absorb it.
It's believed that the Rockets would have to send Philadelphia at least one future first-round pick to convince the Sixers to go through with the deal, given that Lin is owed $15 million next season despite the fact that his contract will only count for $8.4 million for salary cap purposes.
Sources say that the Sixers, though, are happy to take on Lin -- despite the presence of reigning NBA Rookie of the Year Michael Carter-Williams as their starting point guard -- provided that the extra asset or two they get from Houston is sufficiently attractive.
Sixers general manager Sam Hinkie is close with Rockets GM Daryl Morey after working alongside Morey before Hinkie's move to Philadelphia.
The Rockets have maintained for months that they could find trades for center Omer Asik and Lin if necessary to create the needed salary-cap space to bring in a star player this summer.
Houston has already agreed to trade Asik to New Orleans for a first-round pick after July 10, but Rockets officials have privately maintained that they would only trade Lin if they are sure that they are getting a player of Anthony's or Bosh's caliber.
Still, Charlie did all over Capt 48.5 though.
Yup. Rin always did have a knack for defecating one pathetic players who are overpaid.
That video never gets old. "Get a grip!". Everyone needs to get a grip huh, Pat? Get off your back and don't criticize you for whats about to happen to your team. Don't hold you accountable for dropping the ball and taking away assets from the team to save a few bucks - Mike Miller. Or hold you accountable for not seeing that Wade is far from the player he used to be.
This team as cons uted cannot compete with the Spurs and other teams in the West for the le. It's too late to avoid the iceberg when the ship is already sinking.
Seems like alot of leverage plays going on.
pretty much..I don't know why people think any of them are actually going to leave, tbh, this is all nonsense and media hype..
None of them, including Lebron, have even set up a meeting with another team..
That ugly-ass geek Woj is the best breaking news reporter, but his Heat coverage has been pretty terrible in the 3 Kings era, he's extremely biased and sensitive regarding Miami and Lebron..
Yeah, you just keep convincing yourself of that. What good can come of Bosh or Lebron talking to other teams? Is it supposed to get Riles really in gear? The truth is, no one gives a about Miami or playing with Lebron. Contenders are being built elsewhere, not bought.
It's better than crawlin' before them.
Just like D-Wade just said, we gonna challenge each other in practice. The way we gonna challenge each other to get better is in practice. Once the game starts, I mean it's gonna be easy. I mean with me and D-Wade running the wing, I mean Pat could come back and play like he was back in his Kentucky days; just throw it up there, we'll go get it.
As Riley pursues Luol Deng, Anthony Morrow and others in an attempt to deliver the roster upgrades that James is seeking, James' agent, Rich Paul, has spoken with the Rockets, Mavs, Suns, Cavs and Lakers. Teams have been told that if the Heat aren't successful in making roster additions soon, James would choose finalists and meet with them in person as early as next week.

It just seems like James is trying to make the Heat scared as as payback for Arison going Jew with Mike Miller. But just can't see him walking back to Cleveland.
There's just no way they can pay anyone without Bosh leaving or Wade accepting the damn minimum. There is no way Riley didn't see this coming.
They're trying to convince guys like Gasol and Deng to take the MLE.
That's their only hope. But those guys are going to want one last payday.
Heat wouldnt even be favorite in East. Why guys would take less for not even winning ring ?
who is the favorite in the East?..
Any team that pays double-digit millions for Luol Deng is ing embarrassing, tbh..he hasn't been a good player in like 4 years..
