2014 NBA Offseason/Free Agency Thread

[RipCity32]

I don't think they are going to let Wade leave for the likes of Jeff Green. Though IDK what the cap-situation would be like. 

 

[CameronCrazy06]

My bold, somewhat realistic prediction:
 
Nothing huge in 2014 for Miami (Big 3 opt in), but 2015...
 
Rajon Rondo and Jeff Green sign with the Heat, because of Lebron.
 
 
One of the main reasons the Heat aren't doing well is because Lebron has to do everything himself. Wade cant at this point in his career. Rondo is a guy that can bring the ball up with Lebron, find the open shooters easily, and if he isn't being guarded intensely, pull up or drive to the hoop. He also provides defensive intensity at the point.
 
 
I'd be very upset, as a Celtics fan, but I can see this happening unfortunately.

What on earth...

my bold statement: lebron retires a heat

 

[buzzy]

Even bolder: he retires this year.

 

[RipCity32]

The boldest: He retires within the next 5 minutes.

Blatche is a very poor starter

 
 

I think he's a very good 1st or 2nd big off the bench, but he really shouldnt be starting.

People get too caught up in starting and coming off the bench, imo. If the Pels were to acquire Blatche then he may "start," but he wouldn't play more than 20-24 minutes a night on average. That's a good number for him, maybe not enough. Ryan Anderson and Anthony Davis will still close games.

Not to mention he has played well the last two seasons when he has gotten the start for the Nets.

i think Wade takes less money so he can win more.

 

[buzzy]

I think Wade's gonna opt out and get one last big contract. Like 4 for 50.
 
It's not a smart move but the Heat won't not give it to him. He's been too important for them over his career.

It won't happen, but if Melo were to join the Heat, and they kept the other three, do yall realize how long the next lockout would last?

 

[Mexi]

Bold is what I said the other day

Wade opts out
Riley says thanks,signs melo
Keeps.bosh one way or another

Wade goes to Chicago

Now that's.bold

 

[buzzy]

[Mexi]

That's the move though. Melo over D

 

[Mexi]

Ifb the rockets get melo you all have to do something for me

 

[Pugz]

theyre better off with melo and without bosh.

 

[Mexi]

They'd be replacing shard with melo

But the.no bosh thing is interesting. Haven't.actually.thought of it

But I know I love.chris

 

[RipCity32]

I could see Bosh opting out and going somewhere he can be featured more. 

 

[Mexi]

I really dont think he cares
Hes comfortable there

And im pretty sure he said already he doesmt care about being a top option

 

[elcheato]

Every time I think LeBron is coming to Clevaland, I remember that I had snorted coke 5 minutes earlier

 

[Mobruler]

Josh Smith, Brandon Jennings, Lance Stephenson.  
 
Did someone say big 3?
