Funny, I thought that as well...

Could you imagine? My goodness, that would be ugly.

But I have LeBron going to the Lakers!

Just kidding... I see him staying with Miami and them rebuilding the team around him. Wade will stay and retire there as well.

Bosh? I think he might move on and be an excellent player someplace else. Ray? Retirement will be nice for him.

next year, Wade is 33, bosh is inconsistent, no PG, No center, No bench, No coach, lebron seriously need to rethink everything.

Even if carmelo joins, he is not a good defender and he shoots 45%. they need a center badly.

in the end defense and teamwork wins games. Lebron shot 60% from the field with monster stats and it didnt mean anything in these finals.

Yeah, Lebron was a beast....this finals loss wasn't because of any short comings on his part.

I kept seeing Wade do things that frankly are just not him this series. Posting Danny Green and getting stripped, missing lay-ups but in particular the old "ball hawk" that would steal a few passes a game and go coast to coast was just not there.

Birdman, Allen, Wade all looked old and slow compared to the Spurs players.

It would be interesting if LeBron left Miami and went back to Cleveland. I think most Cleveland fans would welcome him back with open arms.

would you go back to a place of employment where your boss cursed you? i dont believe the cavs will be anywhere near championship basketball with lebron, kyrie, and embiid/parker/wiggins.


Lebron has quite some thinking to do as the big 2.5 in south beach just became a big 2 since wade is not "flash" anymore. I dont see the "fall down 7, stand up 8" in him anymore and it shows in every aspect of his game. Wade is declining like Tmac in his early 30's and its time to move on.

Well, Riley came out guns-blazing to the media yesterday, but as of now it's all hot air. The players' performances speak for themselves, and the current contracts don't allow for the kind of "retooling" which will remake them into a champion.

Miami does need to retool as Riley said. Get a center and move Bosh to PF to toughen up the front court. Wade may need to come off the bench, he doesn't have the knees anymore. No need for Melo, he's not going to help them.

What exactly are the heat going to
Use to "retool"?
They are commuted to 68milif nobody opts out. And only 8.5 of that isn't the "big 3."

4.6 going to haslem which is toooo damnnnnn muchhh.

Big slick is praying they all opt out so he can try to get them to resign for less.

Could they have Wade opt out and then give him something like a 5yr. 40mil thus freeing cap now for future payments. (aka The Alan Houston contract )

The other thing is that you can always go over the cap for certain things and one of them is the veterans minimum. Could they bring a couple guys in kinda like they did with Ray Allen to take a crack at a ring?

Who would be out there?

They can't play Ray Allen over 30 minutes a game and expect him to be effective. Ginobli is 3 years younger and he's playing about 4-5min a game less. I mean for crying out loud try to get a Paddy Mills or three....he only cost the Spurs about 1mil.
