Wade needs to retire. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.

Greg Oden was a cheap gamble that didnt pay off.

Allen considering retirement, I think he still has a year left in him though.

FRpilot · 06-18-2014, 03:15 PM

Allen should join the Spurs.

They could always use another 3 point shooter.

babowc · 06-18-2014, 03:17 PM

Allen was playing like shit tbh.. He should be retiring.

According to this thread: everyone on the Heat will be retiring this off season. Next year's final will OKC vs the Raptors. lol

**Phlip** · 06-19-2014, 08:16 AM

Wade needs to retire
Ray Allen needs to retire
Shane Battier needs to retire
Greg Olden needs to retire
LeBron needs to go back to Cleveland in a 3-way trade that brings Carmelo to Miami and sends Norris Cole and Chris Chalmers to NY with Beasley.

Yes, all of that.

ZenkiKid · 06-19-2014, 01:17 PM

Battier did announce his retirement.

If Wade still wants to stick around then he should look towards losing weight and leaning down to help with the issues with his legs.

Thats one thing I never understood about aging athletes, losing weight and going leaner is the best option yet alot of them dont do that.

Tim Duncan learned that and has applied it for profit in his second lifetime here.

Truth is, if Lebron leaves he's most likely going to the Lakers as it's the storied franchise. I also can't imagine anyone wanting to play for Dan Gilbert and it shows (see Irving, Deng, etc.).

Whatever happens, we had 4 consecutive trips to the finals. Feels good meng.

And unlike other sport franchises (some in this very city) who have people running it who cant tell their heads from their asses, the Heat organization is properly structured from Owner to Coach.

Rumors a while back was he might got to the Clippers and the Clippers would trade out Blake Griffin.

Shit, it's still a rumor.

Back in February

I just don't see him going to the Lakers. Not with Kobe still there cashing checks. We all know he'd go to Chicago first.

Yeah, since Dr. Buss got sick and died, the Heat are the best run these days.
I will reserve comment on whether I want him in LA or not, as you all know I was all about making a play for Kevin Love for the past two seasons.

Honestly I really don't think Bulls fans will want him there. Think about the past playoff games we had.

Also I really do not think he would go there himself because of the legacy Jordan had.

LeBron will most likely stay. I think he's really stupid if he leaves Miami, he's been to the finals 4 straight years and won 2 championships. Although if I were Bosh I would leave, just my opinion.

Bosh is not going anywhere until he HAS to.
If he goes anywhere else, he will have to prove he is worth his current pay rate and he will have to do it in the post.

Oh I know and it must burn him up that no matter what he achieves, he'll never be Jordan.

This. He is in Kobe mod - milk it till it's over.

ZenkiKid · 06-23-2014, 01:13 PM

Wade is gonna opt out of his current contract and sign a 4 year 50 mil deal. What. The. Fuck.

Rumor is the deal is dead for Klove to GS and Thompson to LAL.

I really think that Lebron is gonna go back to Cleveland if he does opt out.

IMO, Carmelo will either end up with the Lakers, Houston, or Chicago.

I want to know whats the logic behind this? Is it because it makes it a fairy tale ending? We all know that line of reasoning didn't work during "The Decision".

I remember people saying Lebron would not leave Cleavland because:

1. The Decision was on national TV
2. It was done at the Boys & Girls Club during the broadcast
3. He was in close proximity Cleavland during the broadcast
4. No way he would take less money
5. No way he would want to be seen as joining someone else
6. He wants to be nice to Cleavland
7. He wants to play in his hometown
8. He runs the show in Quicklen Loans Arena

If these are any of your reasons for thinking that he's going to Cleavland, you haven't learned.

History repeats itself. I don't think he will necessarily stay in Miami, and why I wont feel offended if he leaves and wont be shocked if he joins LA, the Clips or the Bulls.

**Phlip** · 06-24-2014, 12:36 PM

I think his BEST bet in the saving of face is to re-sign in Miami with a contract that is conducive to getting some help in there right away, same with Wade, and Bosh should be traded for someone who can make use of his size and position.
I'm not saying that this is what they WILL do, just that it is what they should. He has done too much to semi-rehabilitate his image after that decision debacle (don't get me wrong, I STILL don't like the guy and never have) and would be flatly stupid to go chasing rings, especially when he could be complicit in the moves needed to win a couple of more where he is right now, shitty fans and all (not all of you, but you KNOW who they are).
It'll be astounding and SAD to see what happens with that bandwagon if he does go elsewhere.

acslater9 · 06-24-2014, 02:40 PM

Well Lebron James just opted out of his contract.

This is going to get good.

acslater9 · 06-25-2014, 08:13 PM

Mavericks get Tyson Chandler back in a 6 man trade with the Knicks. Not only do they get Chandler but the Mavs also get point guard Raymond Felton.

On the other hand the Knicks acquire point guard Jose Calderon, Shane Larkin, Wayne Ellington, and Samuel Dalembert.

***enkei2k*** · 06-25-2014, 08:43 PM

While I'm glad Felton is gone, Chandler leaving is a 50/50. He was a good defensive presence, but offered very limited offense aside from the putback or dunk. Dalembert is a downgrade, and it is possible they will waive him to save a few bucks, but then they'll be missing a C. They do have 2 picks in this years draft from it so hopefully they can find some good players that can contribute right away like a Landry Fields

I hope they aren't finished dealing yet.

acslater9 · 06-26-2014, 08:13 AM

Rockets agree to trade Omer Asik to the Pelicans, trying to make room for either Melo or LeBron.

Dreaming.

Lebron goes to LA or stays.

Melo, I'd be shocked if he left, but I can't see him going to the Rockets.

Both of these guys want rings. Melo has to be set financially. While Lebron has complained about money, he still wants 6 championships. He has 2 and he has 5 more good years.

**Phlip** · 06-26-2014, 11:30 AM

I don't believe Melo wants rings. If he did, he would play some damned defense.
LeBron, if he wants rings, would do best to re-sign in Miami. Melo will go to the highest bidder wherein he can pretend he wants to win, so it will likely be Chicago or Houston.
MAYBE the Clippers, lol

acslater9 · 06-26-2014, 12:34 PM

This off season is a tale of "returning to old teams".

Arron Afflalo gets traded to the Denver Nuggets for Evan Fournier and the 56th pick of the draft.

Theyre like $20 + mil in the red.

Be advised that this thread officially becomes old news with the start of the NBA Draft at 7pm tonight...
I will be closing it as soon as I walk in from the gym and have already tagged someone with the responsibility for the new one.
