    Wow can't believe he actually left the Heat, I thought it was all posturing for more money.

    Bulls got a lot better, that Rose trade was a win big time.

    Yes, but considering how his time in HOU ended, he straight up despises upper "management" (Morey and Le$)

    Nice team. Is anyone else at all worried about spacing? Not the greatest 3 point shooting starting 5. I wonder if this will work or if the skill sets will overlap too much.

    it's not just that they aren't 3 point shooters, but wade and rondo are literally "back way off of them and beg them to shoot" type shooters. one of those guys is hard to fit into an offense. 2 of them would make me just pack the paint like crazy. gibson can shoot but has never gotten his range out to the 3 point line and lopez can't shoot. butler has alternated good and terrible 3 point shooting seasons so he better be on or there just won't be any spacing and none of them can just get to the basket at will either.


    of course now that i've said that, they'll score 110 per game, but that looks like an offense that will struggle or will have to bench rondo a lot now (can't see wade accepting more bench time).

    I hate this move for Chicago. Instead of being smart and rebuilding with complementary pieces around Butler, they acquired two ball dominant guards who don't shoot 3-pointers and are about 4-5 years past their prime. Not only will that team not come close to competing for a title, but they'll be lucky to win 50 games this year and they're going to regret this in a few years when Butler walks and they're left with nothing.

    Say what you will about Miami, but at least they were smart enough to know when it was time to end it and rebuild around a guy who could feasibly be the future of the franchise.

    True, but I'm loving the idea of Wade vs. Lebron in the East playoffs, a treat the NBA didn't get last year.

    This is idiotic. No real Heat fan would be upset at Wade. I feel like some of these people are just posting these videos to get some retweets.

    Unfortunately, I think that means they match Tyler Johnson's ridiculous contract.

    If the Bulls knew they were going to get Wade, they wouldnt have gotten Rondo.

    I think the Heat secretly wanted Wade to leave, now that they got whiteside. If Bosh doesnt come back, yhey can pretty much retire him and out of his salary froma cap perspective with an injury exception I think. They would be rebuilding and Riley can lure younger stars and they will be a desirable location with the weather, beach and a center in place. They can form a new big 3.

    Lol at idiots burning jerseys, Miami basically ****ed him, they should be thanking him for those paycuts to try and keep them relevant after the big 3. If non-stars are getting paid, he deserves to get paid. Miami should have just paid him, not like they were winning. Reminds me of Hakeem crap at the end... they should have just paid him too (so he could finish as a 1 team player).

    I personally think they win over 50 games. Better than Miami at least.


    You mean like how the Rockets will be stuck with 2 more years of Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon at about 66 mil AFTER Harden leaves the Rockets in 2018?
