Wade on his decision:
>'This wasn't an easy decision, but I feel that I have made the right choice." Per ESPN
Is the NBA turning into an anime?

This season is so retarded
I mean seriously, who the fuck is going to stop the Rockets? Fuck Stern and that stacked team
>>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
>>69314516
kek its real
>>69314476
Tanking doesn't guarantee shit. Seriously what superstar has come along in the draft lately? Bulls plan is to put together a decent team this year, and Rondo comes off the books next season, and make a run at Westbrook. That is the rumor flying around.
>>69314496
>slow, unathletic and old
Is "getting younger and more athletic" the biggest meme in the NBA? It's always the veteran teams that win the championships

Dwight Howard.
I honestly thought him being in Houston would do wonders for him since he'd be with Hakeem but it's pretty clear that he just stubbornly refuses to adapt the changing climate of the NBA. Hope for the best from in in Atlanta but he's definitely not getting a ring in his career

I still remember when Nuggetfags posted on /sp/ claiming they're gonna be the new Bad Boy Pistons or some shit. Then Gallinari got hurt, Nuggets got bootyblasted by Golden State, Karl was exposed as dogshit, Faried faded back into irrelevance and I haven't seen a single Denver fan on this board in years.
BULLS LETS GOOOO
no Big men or defense but we're scoring
>>69314568
If everyone performs to how it is on paper, hope for another meltdown, injuries, or Donkey Green to go apemode and get himself in trouble during the finals again
>>69314351
Hornets are contenders now. Talk to you guys when we have the ship.
>this off season
>>69314446
Lakers can't keep pick unless they get top 3 in draft.
Good trade for calderon. Can hit 3s, is a back up pg, and is an expiring contract.
>>69314634
I'm surprised they aren't back yet. They have a really good young star in the making in Jokic.
>>69314629
People who actually believe this are fuckin stupid.

He's coming back home
Whole bunch of people who haven't seen Rondo play in a long time because A) he was in Sacramento last year and B) he quit on the Mavs the year before. Yall niggas gonna be pretty surprised to see he's pretty much still the same Boston Rondo. Pros and cons.
Cuz he's a psycho homophobe the media hate him, but he is the best value signing of this FA.
>>69314674

Shop this to warriors with curry and durant. I pray to god it fails. The shitposting will be legendary more so than 3-1, 73-9, no ring.
David West, Ray Allen, KD, all them ring chasing scrubs have their dreams come crashing down. Chemistry is key and I hope it's as fun as the Lakers were with Dwight.

>>69314749
he already signed dumb ass
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2f1nmpY6x7g
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.
>>69314674
"Hahhaa omg RBL meng, we outcheaaa"
>>69314707
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.
>>69314568
>Curry
Shit defender, volume shooter
>Durant

Decent defender, still can't guard Lebron and TT in the paint on his own, decent scorer when he feels like it

>>69314770
No he isn't silly billy

I don't know what to do anymore.
>>69314768

Today I felt like I just had my heart rip out my fuck chess .... I can't even breathe or think just ... I am literally crying as I am type this .....My favorite player ever is gone .... I just want to thank Wade for so much that he has done for Miami heat & heat fans .... You are a legend in Miami forever and always ... Without you there is no Miami Heat ... There is no team .... I will love you forever and always ... You ever you I will support you forever and always !!!!!! You are a 13 time nba-allstar ... And a 3 time nba championship ......
IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT PAT RILEY FUCK U ... YOU SCREWED EVERYTHING UP .... YOU MESS UP EVERYTHING ... THROUGH EVERYTHING WE HAD ... EVERYTHING WE WORKED FOR AWAY THANKS ALOT ... MIAMI HAS NOTHING TO LOOK FORWARD TOO ... YOU VALUE DRAGIC & MCROBERTS OVER WADE ... ARE YOU KINDING ME .... in Riley we trust (that's a bunch of bullshit)
.... YOU FEED MIAMI FANS A BUNCH OF BULL .... GOOD LUCK TRYING TO MANAGE THE HEAT NOW .... YOU RUN LEBRON AWAY NOW YOU RUN WADE AWAY .... YOU TO GET KD BUT FAILED TO REALIZE WHAT YOU HAD IN FRONT OF YOU ... I DON'T CARE WHO YOU SIGNED THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE ... GOOD LUCK TRYING YOU SELL TICKETS ....
I can't watch basketball anymore .... I just can't I'm done .... Everyone on the Heat I wish you LUCK and anything but the best ... But I can't right now ... I just can't !!!!!!
The Pelicans are literally 76ers tier without AD.
They gave up Noel for a broken down Jrue Holliday.
They counted on a broken down Tyreke Evans.
They unironically believed Eric Gordon was a star.
>>69314691
>Nets significantly worse
Dont know about that, Jack was horrible and they replaced him with Lin whos far better
Losing thad young might hurt but its to be determined. Second option on the nets, 4th on the pacers. He's replaceable.
>>69314801
Klay was always meant to be a 3rd option. He was a highly lethal 3rd option pretending to be a 2nd option over the years. Klay benefits the most from this. Might score less but his percentages will be so fuckin high
rbl stay winning! that brings our rings total to 25
>>69314823
>he thinks durant isn't a shit defender
>>69314768

>>69314804
Thanks Australia.
>>69314823
>he actually thinks otherwise
>>69314836
And the sad part is that Noel and AD could have worked so well together since AD is a natural stretch 4 while Noel prefers to roam the paint.
>>69314768
>They got better, stupid.
Are you absolutely sure
>>69314840
>Raptors have 0 rings to add
Ha.
>>69314772
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.
>>69314842
>>69314852
I don't like Durant but let's not make up lies here for hyperbolic and meme purposes.
>Go after Durant
>Apparently don't have enough money for Wade
Explain this shit /nba/
>>69314836
They saved themselves by drafting buddy though, star in the making
>>69314770
he is still a RFA. Lakers got Jose Calderon. I don't think they think that they need 2 old as fuck Spanish point guards.
>>69314727
>>69314838
Agreed
I should've put Nets in same and or slightly worse and Kings in slightly worse
>>69314861
>Durant
>a top 5 player in the nba
They got better on offense that's for damn sure. Defense they took a step back.
I'm so fucking confused. I thought this was a rebuild, why are we signing Wade?
>>69314823
Even if he was he's 157% cucked by LeBron so it doesn't matter
>>69314377
I wouldn't be surprised if Spurs picked him up
>>69314847
>implying
You're going to have to trade AD or Buddy plus Holiday and some draft picks. No one would approve the trade you posted.
>Durant
>>69314875
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.
Lakers get a 2nd round pick too. It isn't like lakers are trying to compete this year.
>>69314840
Rated,
But
Losing
>>69314839
I don't agree. He's really close to being elite himself if he could just improve his ballhandling
>>69314872
Durant is mediocre at the very best.
why is /nba/ avoiding the Wade issue?
>>69314873
It's mass retardation.
Pat Riley and his gang of mobster managers are fucked.
>>69314496
So how come the slow and unathletic team ended up witha chip and the young and athletic team (Thunder) didn't?
>>69314691
Warriors sign kd and only improve a little?
>>69314873
>paying 50 mil for a 34 year old injury riddled guard
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.
>moving to the team that beat you after they were down 1-3in the WCF
>a team that went 73-9 in the regular season, the best season record of all time

is Kevin "Durantula" Durant the biggest pussy/cuck/ring chaser the NBA has ever seen?
I know i'm late but
>Wade to the Bulls
For what fucking purpose? Who is possibly going to help him win games there? Did the Cavs not offer him any kind of deal? Cleveland needs all the fuel they can get against Darth Kevin and Sith Lord Curry.

Read her Twitter feed. Her and ESPN are basically running Blacked: The Show right now. Every day she has some NBA show where it's just her and a bunch of black guys hanging out. Every day. That is the entire show. Rachel Nichols giving sex eyes and having "fun" with a bunch of black dudes.
Who buys The Body Issue? Why does ESPN insist on promoting this shit?
>Pat Riley wants cap space for the next year FA

Is this the weirdest offseason in a long time?
>>69314691

>>69314966
How does that have anything to do with Richard Jefferson, the Warrior destroyer, resigning with the Cavs? You sexist pig, it's current year stay woke
>>69314962
Wade's family is still in Chicago and he never sold his house there, it might be a case of just wanting to get paid and be somewhere comfortable.

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.
He's definitely above mediocre.

Rondo when motivated is also solid.
Lopez, Gibson, Mirotic are all also decent.

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.
looks like the Thunder are holding off on making moves and will just let the salary floor bump increase their contracts.
which would mean every Thunder player would get an instant 600k raise

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.
>>69315390
Lol I used to have a lebron Durant one, classic /sp/ meme
>>69315276
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.
So how do we fix the Heat, lads?

And in regards to those 3, Jackson is 6'8" two-way wing with a mean streak, but only a 6'10" wingspan.
Tatum is 6'8" with 6'11" wingspan, but is inconsistent around the rim and settles for contested mid-range J's.
Harry Giles is a 6'10" F with a 7'3" wingspan. Is an excellent defender & rebounder, high motor, potential to add post moves. Lost senior year to ACL though.
>>69315429
Well my opinion is completely different since Durant isn't an old veteran and he is still a young gunslinger in his prime.
I think Durant doing it was a pussy move and pathetic for a "superstar".

>>69315505
>healthy Bosh
I heard he was never going to play again
>>69315415
as a heat lifer here, never been heart broken like this. feel like a girl ripped my heart out.
Best scenario if bosh retires, we can sign big fa's next season(pipe dreams westbrook or curry) we dont have draft picks.
Bet that winslow, richardson and briante show growth. Last but not least, we need to hit cap floor, so signing lance stephenson to a 1-2 17mill a year deal, fill the rest with undrafted or vets. Summer league Jankovic looks, typical big euro. Can shoot from far.
>>69315431
It's been predicted since Cavs won the chip. Unless Spurs go into god mode or Clippers stop choking, its gonna be the same next year and the year after that
Basically the entire Heat organization's plan comes down to whether Chris Bosh can continue to play basketball or not.
If he can they're in a very good place right now with Richardson and Winslow getting experience this year, and making a run at Westbrook next year. And if this happens, the Heat are very much a threat to win it all.
But if Bosh is done they can't even look at Westbrook next year and need to think about a 3-4 year rebuild where you'd still get a lot of Whiteside's good years.
>>69315505
>healthy bosh
>>69315497
Have you seen the rosters that have made the playoffs in the East the last, say, 25 years?
Did Lebron single handedly destroy the Heat by leaving?
>>69314772
>Why not completely overpay an old injury prone has been and guarantee your team will go nowhere for the next 2 years?
Worked great for the Lelkers
>>69315459
>Bosh
He's never ever getting cleared to play again, ever.
Good luck in China.
You guys know that Bosh isn't gonna be healthy next season right?
>>69315476
Jackson must be great but knowing Adam Silver he'll gift the Thunder or the Magic the 1st overall against all odds.
>>69315572
Bosh has never been soft. So it's not like he has probs staying healthy. His only issue is whether his condition will allow him to play or not.
It's a yes or no kinda deal.
But I hope he doesn't go belly up on the floor or something.
>>69315541
>we can sign big fa's next season
no big time FA in their right mind will want to go there after they see how the Heat organization has treated D-Wade
>>69315583
it would have been a two year contract with one of those years possibly lost to a lockout anyway, not the bloated Kobe contract.
Riley fucked up.
Let's be honest here, Wade wasn't worth that kind of money. So the Heat basically passed on the option to have half the cap tied in two players, one of them aging.
>>69315578
Franchises Lebron has destroyed:
Cavs
Bulls
Heat
Pacers

Thunders
Anyone else? The man is a destroyed of worlds.

i know it's the favorite but i seriously think it's like 90% plus

He killed more than we realize.
>>69315541
Money talks bullshit walks as you saw what Wade did. Offer max money, people will sign. Westbrook if he signs with the Heat next season, has a potential 35mill contract.
>>69314772
Wade is a gigantic faggot that was refballed to his first title. He also cheated on Gabrielle Union and got a banana boat inserted into his ass by LeBron.
Also, if you're a Heat fan, you'd know Rilez calls the shots, not Arison.
>>69315624
Draymond is the foundation, his versatility is the only thing that makes a lot of their potential lineups work.
right now he is far more important to that Warriors than Curry/Klay/KD
>>69315615
Wade is literally one of the best 3 SGs in the entire NBA so he is worth the money.
The problem is he's like Kobe a few years ago. You know he's good, you know he's legendary, but you also know he's about to fall off the cliff.
:Manu did it right. He took a step back to be a 6th man and that lowered his minutes big time. It extended his career and let him play at a high level for many years longer than he would have as a starter.
Wade has too much pride I think...like Kobe.
How much do Jerseys go for after a player leaves a team?
Now I can cop a mint D3 jersey
>>69315601
It's a no doctor would be dumb enough to approve him to play because if he dies on the court they're going to jail deal
Bosh is dead, it sucks but there's literally nothing that can be done that isn't illegal or shady.

I knew I was right to get my hopes up about DWade coming to Denver. No free agent ever does.
That doesn't stop me from still being incredibly upset about it though. He would have been a god here, but I guess it's hard to compete with the hometown.
>>69315635
Are you mad? He literally ruined a ton of potential contenders existence in the East.

>>69315660
Kobr literally had a career ending type of injury before he got the contract.

Not going to happen.
Not a fan of the Warriors but still so happy that this team is being rewarded. Every draft pick in the last 7 years besides Ekpe Udoh has been the perfect pick. It's really like they could see the future. It only makes sense that a team that impossibly made the right decision every time gets a team that seems like it shouldn't be possible. And they'll be rewarded again when they sign another near max player next offseason.
>tfw cavs bullyball lineup is going to dominate the league next season when cedi osman comes back

Man how selfish is LeBron for not taking a paycut though? Dude is on a billion dollar Nike deal and will get the biggest contract in NBA history next offseason anyway. He really couldn't let go of $20M to improve his team? Pathetic.

>>69315740
>Look what giving Kobe a lifetime achievement contract did to the Lakers.
The Lakers knew that they weren't gonna compete in the near future because no superstar would go to them, so they just gave their superstar a fuckton of money to (1) stay with them and (2) not make a stink out of the situation.
And as I've pointed out, there's one less bullet point for Pat Riley when he starts doing presentations to FAs. He can't say anything about loyalty now, 'cause he let his franchise player go.

The NBA player's association forbade LeBron from taking a pay-cut. It sets a really bad precedent if a top 5 league player starts taking less money. Be glad they do this, unless you truly want more super-teams destroying the league.

I don't see how you can say that Kobe fucked the Lakers hard when the reality of the situation is that they couldn't get any superstars to sign with them after the Dwight Howard debacle.
Their only choice was to tank and rebuild through the draft so they can get some assets and entice superstars to go to LA.

For all you fucks thinking warriors didn't improve greatly, kd and Barnes aren't even close to comparison don't look at numbers.. Barnes shots are all open from the corner kd doesn't get that luxury until now... And in regards to depth they will have solid vets fill in the holes quickly for cheap. Already signed David West for vet minimum. Zaza is a good defender and healthy he will fill in nicely. Jesus shuttlesworth reaching out to them and wants to sign.. No way u sign the a top 3 player in the world and u don't improve

Any one of those guys go down and they're stuck finding vet min guys to hold the fort. Damian Jones, their 1st rounder, maybe good for 5-10 minutes.
>>69316227
They can't do that because then they wouldn't be able to re-sign KD next offseason.

You're right. Presti has to figure out around Christmas time whether or not to trade Westbrook.
>Durant is a top 3 player! No way the Warriors can be worse next year
>>69316115
Dubs don't care about defense. They want rebounds. They did fairly well on the defensive end, but it was the rebounds that were killing them, especially during the OKC series. Zaza and David west can fix that

Did you even watch the Finals, or maybe you forgot that LeBron James dropped 41 on Draymond Green's ass?
Also

>Good
Last I checked, there's no good quantifier of a player's defensive skill.
But keep deluding yourself into thinking that Golden State has good interior defense.

Jesus Christ you people are literal retards. Atlanta is literally the Paul Millsap show with special retard guest DUHwite. Also the Bulls couldn't make the playoffs last year so they'll make it this year?? HOw??? They ditch DRose for Wade? they have literally no paint scoring big men and cannot shoot to save their lives, you fucking idiot. As for the Knicks thats just a little bit of homerism but I can assure you they will make it into the 7th or 8th seed, possibly the 4th or 5th is PORZINGOD manages to improve on his rookie season. Also, OKC won't make the playoffs, Minnesota wont either, and UTAH will be the 6th seed, CAP THIS.
What are the chances Whiteside reverse Deandre Jordan's the Heat and signs with the Mavs?
>People standing behind Wade when he wanted 25 million for his old ass when Pat Riley knew what he was doing
I'm a big wade fan but basketball fans are fucking stupid
>>69316227
They waived almost all of them just to get KD. The only guy they can sign now with early bird rights is James Michael McAdoo. The current known bench guys are Livingston and Iggy. They're gonna have some unproven players behind that starting 5.

no player should ever be expected to accept less money
that's why Durant is getting shit on, he accepted less money than he was worth because he wanted an easy road. He made one of those rare decisions that actually makes players AND owners mad.
ill just leave this here

>Gained Dwight fucking Howard

If they actually do trade Paul Millsap then yea, but don't be surprised if ATL has the #1 defense next year
What the fuck are my Pels doing senpai. Like I mean, I wanna get on board with some plan but do we even have one? Everyone is building for the now or the future and what the fuck are we doing. Jesus Christ man. Fuck.
CP3, Wade, LeBron, and Melo really have this brotherhood thing down huh
>>69316320
Team/FO reputation is very important to a free agent. Regardless of whether or not Wade deserves that increase, Pat Riley will have to change his presentations now.
Also, I thought Wade wanted more years instead of a higher pay?
>>69316320
every ring wade has was because of his "pay cuts." Boo hoo nigger. You got like 5 mil less and ended up with 3 rings and 200 million dollars in the bank with sponsors. When is enough enough?

>>69316357
Wade literaly went to Chicago for 7.5 million more
>>69316303
and gave one up every game too
rolo might not get the same stats but the team will win more games with him
The Cavs should rest LeBron and Kyrie for most of the regular season, and let Love run the team until the playoffs. This allows Kyrie and LeBron to be fully ready to go god mode against the Warriors, and it allows Love to stop being beta. His performance in game 7 showed he's still a superstar when he wants to be. Now that the Warriors have absolutely no good big men, Love is going to be super important to the Cavs' success. He needs to get back to his old self and become a monster in the paint again, and I think him running the team as the #1 option over the course of the regular season might help him do that.
>>69316424

>>69316483
Horford
And this is sad for Hornets fans but Biyombo
>>69316484
that is completely fucking backwards, if anything the Heat owe him gratitude for repeated sacrifices that he should have never made in the first place.
It's funny how people defend corporations in sports so much but slander them anywhere else
>>69316319
Dumb motherfucker should have just signed with the lakers to entice westbrook to play with a young core that will keep improving.
Yeah you most likely won't win shit the first two years, but the young core can potentially break out in year 3.
Better than being on teams that are obviously better now, but are aging fast and won't win shit against the warriors and LeBron.
What is the wolves cap space next year?
>>69316483
Horford
>>69316410
Probably to prove a point, 'cause with state taxes, he's probably earning somewhere close to $40 million.
But that's not the point. The Heat are not gonna compete in the near-future anyway, so why not give Wade a 3-year contract?
>>69316504
well, you never know
>>69314552
>What superstar has come along in the draft lately?
Ben Simmons. Great all rounder and all around meme lord
>>69316543
Because Pat Riley is insane?
>>69316458
Being a huge fan of a team doesn't make me blind enough to create delusions like you faggots. The Knicks have improved enough to fight for a playoff spot. They improved their roster and their head coaching position. When you look at the competition the Knicks could easily make the lower 4 spots. Magic, Heat, Bulls, Pistons, Hornets are all teams they can realistically beat (they beat them last year). The only difference between now and last year is that they'll be able to win against better teams.
>>69316518
Same with vidya.
>>69314552
>Seriously what superstar has come along in the draft lately?
Towns last year. He's already a top 5 center.
>>69316564

>>69316056
>>69314552
Porzingod
>>69314938
Because the Warriors were already efficient in scoring, and one of their main weaknesses is interior defense, which is a lot worse now without Bogut. Zaza gets like 10 blocks an entire season, and David West won't be helpful either

riley isnt happy with just being a playoff team. he wants to be a finals contender. it was a half hearted offer to wade, because riley probably didnt think he could build a finals team around aging wade anymore, after this years loss to the raptors.
if you look at that series, it exposes how either wade can do good, or the current roster can do good. but wade has a tendency to slow down the offense and drive at his own unique tempo, and the young roster just cant seem to adapt to wade at all. and wade doesnt have the energy to match the younger rosters high energy aggressive playstyle.
i think riley sees that whatever is going on isnt working, and wants to change things. he just probably doesnt have a solution on what to change. its obvious he wants whiteside, as he is a defensive minded person, and miami has been missing a dominant true big for a long time. but beyond that all he can do is start creating room for backup plans and look for opportunities in the future.
its not unreasonable. it just happened at a shitty time where wade undeniably deserved at least ONE year where he is paid the most on the team, since he will be remembered by the heat as their number one franchise player of all time.
it was kind of inevitable given the two personalities this would happen. if bosh wasnt injured, it probably would not have happend, though. bosh would have been the lynch pin between wade, and the rest of the team.
>>69316623
thanks for your reply
>>69314634
I'm a Denver fan, we just know our place. I am a little bummed D.Wade didn't come to Denver, but he was never going to anyway. I think we will see the makings of a nice team with Mudiay, Murray, Jokic, Gallo and maybe Faried. I am expecting he may get traded soon. He's not quite on the way out so if they were to trade, they should do so sooner rather than later.

I honestly can't comprehend Riley's thought process. Wade is not like the other players he offered comfy FO jobs. He is a bonafide superstar, and I don't think he wants to stick around unless he is offered part-ownership of the Heat.
>>69316612
How I wish that were the case, but as someone who owns all three current-gen consoles, Sony and MS fans are honestly worse than Nintendo fans, with the Sony fans justifying every single stupid thing that Sony does (e.g. paid online with the justification being that server maintenance is expensive plus yoi get "free" games anyway, horrible customer service).
Not to mention, there's a fuckton of other companies people defend. These companies remove options such as dual audio, and fans lap up that shit and defend them for denying consumers more options.

Because Durant is in his prime, but the Chuckster was old when he asked to be traded.
And we all know Chuck doesn't like jumpshooting teams, and honestly, why would he? He was never a good three-point shooter, and the Warriors are a relatively boring interior team.
>>69316623
He probably made those posts to begin with.

Those players didn't do shit on the offensive end and Green doesn't guard any specific player during a game, he guards everyone.

I'm absolutely positive you think that blocks per game is the only thing that equates to good defense for big men.

That wasn't the question. The question who was the big man that the warriors have. That's a different question, and the answer is probably no one.
