[AP21]

i wonder which team is gonna take Reke off the pelicans hands

I saw a scenario that said Dealer Demps was attaching Asik to the deal and he had to keep picking up the phones to make sure they were working

Nobody wants Asik and that damn contract. They are stuck with him.

c'mon my La brethren lol

but you right

If the Bulls don't sit this out, we just got rid of a broken down player

 

[bless the child]

At 41 years old, I don't know how much Ray Ray can give a team outside of an occasional 3 and being a major liability on defense.

I don't think Wade is going to leave. I think he values his place in the organization and in the city too much.

Wade is Miami. He just trying to get paid but stranger things have happened.

I agree.

I also believe in players getting their money but Wade needs to understand at the same time he could be helping with tarnishing the Heat's image with perspective FAs (now and future).

Riley is supposed to be Miami's closer like Jerry West is for Golden State but right now he's looking kind of bad out here.

I mean if you are really trying to win, then this matters. If you're just trying to get back-pay from years past and not really trying to win, then I'm sure he wouldn't care about Heat/Riley's image.

However, I do believe it was DUMB for Miami to lowball Wade while going after KD. Durant was never going to Miami to replace Wade, if anything it would've been to play with Wade. So they were going to have to take care of Wade regardless. There was no need to lowball him or put him on the back burner.

 

[R.D.]

Thats one of the reasons this why this looks so bad for KD because its not like his teammates or front office failed him, everybody did what they were supposed to do except him and Westbrook

Anybody who says this didn't watch Thunder games or saltY

KD/Westbrook play street ball and been good enough to get away with it...they play terrible team basketball because there's no system. They go out there and mostly improvise so when shit breaks down, there's no system for them to rely on

Thunder got a bunch of random pieces that don't fit

People going really see how good KD is this year, it's being underrated how he probably frustrated with not having a good coach

It's funny because people wouldn't say anything if he went to the Spurs and they would be just as nasty

 

[NoCanadiansEH]

If wade leaves I'm crying

bron gon be like..

 

[ghost!]

Last few pages got me in fucking tears..you all nigs are str8 comedy!! lol!!

They been lowballing Wade his whole career

Who's going to be his bench?

 

[CJ]

Wade should bounce because of the disrespeck

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

Lance about to return to the pacers.

 

[CJ]

Pacers are having a great offseason

 

[wizeoner2]

Dirk must be happy with that one ring. Keep cashin out!

Money>>Rings

Money the reason these dudes in the league in the first place. If you happen to get a ring then cool if not you'll still be living comfortably

Hes already set for life tho

 

[lord nemesis]

Pat ain't got the juice no more. Whiteside put the pistol to his head and got the max deal and I think he'll blink before Wade does with that $50 mill.

 

[bless the child]

I think the Heat just don't wanna give a 35 year old Wade 25 mill a year. I don't see why not because it ain't like they are serious contenders. Pat Riley must be looking toward next summer and thinks the chances of getting Westbrook has increased.
