I'm very shocked. Even with all the rumors, I didn't see any real good reason to leave Miami as it was a team that could stay a championship contender.Cleveland is surely a playoff team now, but I wouldn't say a legit championship contender yet. The whole team isn't at the level Miami had been the last three seasons. But if the Kevin Love trade goes through, they will be. But still some concern for the bench.

Now for Miami, If they don't sign any big name then they will likely return to their pre big three era where they couldn't get passed the first round, and 5-6th seed. They can wait but I'd say offer Gasol and Deng short term 10m deals, and convince Bosh to stick around. All in all Heat can still make moves and get this look.
Starters: Gasol, Bosh, Deng, Wade, Chalmers
Bench: Granger, Anderson, Allen, Cole, McRobberts, Oden, Beasley, Napier.


They way Chalmers performed during the playoffs its probably a good move to get rid of him ASAP.  Actually I just check he is not under contract for next season I wouldn't resign him.

He definitely was underwhelming. But I'd keep him around at least to back up the guards.

The drafted another point guard and Noris Cole is a better backup and under contract for next season.

Sources: Bulls show interest in Dwyane Wade

The Chicago Bulls are interested in discussing a deal with free-agent guard Dwyane Wade, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

The crumbling of the Miami Heat's Big Three on Friday leaves Wade facing a future without LeBron James and possibly Chris Bosh in Miami, and a Heat franchise facing a rebuilding situation again. The Heat, however, are trying to re-sign Bosh and Wade.

Wade, 32, opted out of the $42 million left on his contract so the Heat could restructure deals with James and Bosh – only to have James leave him for Cleveland. Miami's loyalty to Wade would likely compel it to give him a contract extension because of his team-first decision to opt out of the deal. Nevertheless, Wade makes little sense for the Heat moving forward, except that he's a franchise icon who's been part of three championships.

Wade grew up in Chicago, and took a meeting in 2010 free agency with the Bulls. Knee problems have limited him the past two years, and the uncertainty about his future may have played some part in James' decision to join a younger core in Cleveland.

The Bulls are discussing a deal with free-agent guard Kirk Hinrich too, trying to hold off Charlotte, sources said.

Can't really blame him if he leaves.  Would have thought he would be one of those rare players that stays with the same team his entire career.

Looks like Bosh is staying in Miami. I think this is good because it keeps some of the talent spread in the East.

I guess the Heat are not going to be a total train wreck after all.  Still should be a lot worse then they where this season.  Bad news for the Mavs looks like Parsons will stay in Houston.

Nick Young just resigned with the Lakers i love that guy the Lakers should sign Ariza and go after Lance.

Magnitude 6.3 earthquake said to be felt in the Miami area earlier today. Likely due to the collapse of the Heat bandwagon.

The mindless hate Lebron gets is funny. And haha @ comparing him to situations like Tim Duncan, who was drafted onto an elite team, or Jordan, who by the time he was on the Bulls as long as Lebron was on the Cavs, had Phil and Scottie. Or Kobe, who not only bitched and whined to the media wanting a trade when his front office was slacking, but he actually manipulated his draft to go to a better team. And yeah Kobe is still a Laker. Probably because... you know, theyre the only team that would pay him 20+ million a year still. Kobe would be dumb to turn that down.


This is why people hate when it comes to Lecramp.

Lost in the NBA finals 1-4.

 

He should NOT be getting the hype he gets based on his play. He's a good player, but that's it.

Oh ok, so because cherry picked stats from one playoff series dont match cherry picked stats from the GOAT on a different team with a different opponent in a different system in a different era, he can't be a great player. Thanks.

So bosh Re-signs and it looks like Wade is coming back the Heat. The Rockets should spend that cap space to Improve their bench.



Chris Hu on 11 July 2014

The NBA is a TEAM sport its 5 versus 5 not 1 on 1.  There is no GOAT you can only go by postion as of now LeBron is not the greatest small forward of all time.
