If they are going to bring in Love they need to get rid of Irving.

Wiggins has shown me more in this game than any game in his 1 year at KU.

Parker reminds me alot of Pierce

Those will be empty stats. Miami needed his rebounding the last four years and he couldn't give it to them.

What stops you from jamming him up from 15+ feet out and making him beat you off the dribble? He's not a strong finisher.

Sure, but that's not what was at issue, and Luck wasn't all that as a rookie. Record-wise, Manning was improved upon by a rookie in the year following the Painter debacle.

The Heat's third option appears to be Ariza or Deng. Should be good enough for the 8th playoff spot.

He played 54 games last year, never had to play back-to-backs, had at least one day off in between every playoff game (and often much longer stretches) and was completely ineffective. He can't consistently create his own shot, can't shoot from outside, his legs don't have lift, and his lateral quickness is gone.

He couldn't do anything when LeBron sat during the playoffs.

Not only is he not a top 20 player, he's not a top 50 player. He will get a big contract, but he's not worth much more than the mid-level exception.

His quickness off the dribble is a strength. With Bron it wasn't utilized as his role was to be a spot up shooter and to provide spacing. He'll be expected to do more and go back to his Toronto skillset as the #1, max guy on the team. We'll have to see if he can.

I can't believe Bosh got a $118 million deal. I mean I can... but I have never been a huge fan of the guy. He's always seemed soft to me, even when the Heat signed him. He's certainly not a 10-12 rebound/game guy anymore. If he was... where has it been the last two years? LeBron wouldn't be loading up the trucks for Cleveland now if he still was.

Yep. My suggestion after the Finals was for him to try to be 6th man of the year. He would be pretty good in the Manu role for the Heat but alas he is going to have to play alot more minutes now than he should.

Riley was just given a gut punch and reacted in the worst possible fashion. This was an opportunity to get out from under a really bad contract in Wade and an overpay with Bosh, but he's going to soak up cap space and sacrifice draft position while winning 40 games a year

Riley said he would never agree to do it. I believe the exact quote was "I'd have to take a bat to the meeting."

Wade's solution this offseason is to lose weight. He's delusional about what and where he is at this point in his career.

Yep. He could have been in a great position cap wise for next years free agent class

With Bron-Bron gone...

Bosh
Gasol
Wade
Deng
Napier
Granger
McRoberts
Haslem

Anyone buying that group?
