>>69314347

He was playing for the fucking Kings. They were awful. The entire team OPENLY hated their coach. It was a massive trainwreck.

All of them were padding their stats. But Rondo still has game and idk what you're talking about with defense. When he's engaged he's one of the more versatile defenders in the NBA.

If the Bulls are good they'll get the Celtics version of Rondo that gives a fuck. If they're shit he'll keep padding his stats and piling up Ts.

Because with today's soft as fuck NBA it doesn't matter what you are as long as you're a good shooter. With Allen if the opponent even breathes on him he'll press his life alert necklace and the game will stop so he can find his dentures after being juked out of his replacement hip and get to shoot two/three or gain possession. Plus you know he wants that crazy as fuck money

This is an anonymous image board so my opinion doesn't matter much but I'm hurt seeing Wade leave but it's the Heat Organization's fault. They disrespected Wade and what he wanted and deserved so he actually left. I'm still kind of in shock.

I watched my first Heat game ever in 1999 with my dad. Before Wade showed up my first favorite player was Eddie Jones. Even though we weren't good it was fun to watch him play. Didn't take long in 2003 for me to be amazed at watching the way Wade played, By the 2004 playoffs he was already my favorite player and lead me to play basketball myself and get into the sport so much more. I was a faggot who would always argue the Kobe vs Wade and LeBron vs Wade so much back then. After 2006 I knew he would be my favorite player of all time. I even remembering hating the fuck out of Lebron for choking like a faggot in 2011 because if the Heat would have won that would have been another finals mvp for Wade.

I'm hurt lads. Why wouldn't this faggot billionaire Mickey Arison just pay him the 50mil for 2 years? Fuck..

I don't even know if I want to root for this team because of how lousy of a job the organization did to keep Wade. I don't even want to watch the NBA next season. Done with my shitty ass blog.. I'll miss you Wade.

He played most of last season with a torn labrum. On a team that had like 5-9 guys die, even one literally when he broke into the wrong apartment.

AD is a god tier NBA player and the Pels do not deserve him. I'd rather he fake injuries and get the fuck outta there with a lotta miles left on the tires than burn himself out on a team that will at best be a 8-7 seed.

I hear you. Cavs fan reporting in, never hated Wade.

The Heat should have realized that Lebron came exclusively because of Wade's efforts. That's four years of dominance, two championships, all because of Wade.

They are going fucking nowhere for the next five years easy, so why not just pay Wade for two or three years and let him ride out into the sunset as a legend for him, the fans, and a franchise?

The Heat organization is full of complete scumbags. And Lebron thought Gilbert was two faced.

Maybe.

I'm convinced that one of the two between Hield and Murray are going to be superstars, but doubt both will be. If the Pels get it then they'll be alright.

I'm just sad that we're like several years into AD's career and the best player he's played with is like Tyreke Evans.
>>
>>69314539
Not sure what is funny about calderon. He's a better backup than huertas, can shoot 3, and is an expiring contract. He'll help get a few wins and provide some veteran experience.

Is Pat Riley a genius? I bet he kills Bosh to clear up more cap and goes out and gets two big guys next year to make a super team to take down memeball 2.0

jesus fucking christ i cant believe the bulls took the bait.

next year melo chris paul lebron and wade will all be FAs with the new cap. All the teams they are on will likely have enough fucking space to sign them all or with some small trades

The banana boat team is coming, this is why they signed a fucking 1+1 with wade
>>
I want fucking Kentucky bandwagoners to get the fuck off of /nba/ and kill themselves

Cousins is not a top player, he is a diva that is not interested in playing defense.

Rondo is not underappreciated or underrated or any other bullshit excuse you want to throw out there.

AD is not a top player that is getting underutilized or screwed out of anything.

oh and Wall is fucking shit.

>>69314896
Bulls had a chance to land a team leader, a proven champion and a guy still good for 18 ppg. They also are aiming for Westbrook next off season. If the Bulls go out and have a good season, they look more appealing then a team that is tanking and rebuilding. Main reason the Lakers can't fucking land anyone.
>>
>>69314865
Thanks cavsbro. If it means anything I was hoping that if he left he'd go to Cleveland to win one more with his bro LeBron. Then in the eventual finals I could have rooted for Wade one last time as he wins another ship with Bron at the very least. I mean I still would have rooted for the Heat but I know they wouldn't have gone far. And the Bulls make sense because his hometown but he won't be able to accomplish much there. Pay Riley and Mickey disappointed me as a Heat fan.

He's almost 7 feet, is a shot block rim protector as a PF, and is rated highly, but not elite as a defender by all accounts.

why did Durant have his worst playoff performance since his first playoff season?

Did he quit on the team?

Was he exhausted?

Was he sabotaging the team because he already planned to join the Warriors?

Is he regressing?

Was the pressure just finally too much for him?

It's already been confirmed Draymond was still trying to recruit him during the WCF even when they were down 3-1 and Durant was still listening to him instead of telling him to fuck off.

It's also been confirmed that Draymond and Curry have been trying to get him on their team for years now, they even had some dinner out of the country and it's suspected there was some collusion there.

Durant shot 1/7 in the 4th quarter of Game 6 and only scored 4 points.

Just a friendly reminder that Pat Riley is alpha as fuck. He wasn't gonna let the Heat fall into the Kobe trap and overpay an aging franchise legend.

Truth be told I respect Riley being the alpha dog. It ran Lebron outta town cuz Lebron couldn't control him and it's now ran Wade off. But Riley will build another winner in the next 5 years because he's Pat Riley and he's a basketball mastermind.

Sucks cuz "Heat fans" don't deserve a man like Pat.

You can't really fault older veterans from ring chasing man. It's the end of their career, they are old and can't carry anymore, some of them don't want/need the extra money and would rather sign somewhere to get a ring.

it's not like some young superstar ringchasing at all. I think it's fair game.

Dan Gilbert is essentially the EXACT opposite of Pat Riley.

Lebron keeps spending up Gilbert's money, but Lebron had very little hand in Miami.

I do like that the Heat kept Whiteside tho. A lot of their rebuild depends on whether Bosh can play again. If he can, they're honestly not that bad next year. If he can't then they gotta tank a year or two.
