Well Bosh is in Ghana right now, so that complicates thing further for Morey.
NBA 2014-2015
- Thread starter Eboue
- Start date
Do they have fax machines in Ghana?
Lin on his way to the Lakers, Pau going to OKC.
It was nice while it lasted for the Heat - 3 Championships and 5 finals in a decade. Not too bad.
...Why is Lin getting 15 million dollars next season?
New York structured his contract like that to discourage anyone else from matching their offer/screw with anyone who might actually match it.
So not a Cavs fan at all then?Wow.
Not a Cavs fan per say. Supported Miami mainly because of LeBron and DWade but what a story it would be if he wins with Cavs.
It's very interesting watching the reaction of the media to this. When he left the Cavs he was a "quitter, a p*ssy, a loser, ..." and they were talking strictly from a "basketball point of view".
Now he's suddenly a "hero" and made the "right decision" because he, well basically, again quit on a failing team, and went to a team with a better roster.
It's ironic that the only guy who was consistent in this is Skip Bayless. Which says it all really.

Miami are fighting for Chris Bosh now, reportedly offering him max money. He's expected to make his decision today.
Allen will sign for the Cavs. Miller 50/50.

Surely you understand the difference in the two situations.
From a sentimental point of view, I do, but I'm talking about "experts" who pretended to be talking from a "strictly basketball point of view, and legacy".
Who are you referring to?
Everybody working for ESPN, and the media in general, including the camera guys lol (except Skip Bayless).
One example is Charles Barkley.
Oh, well I don't pay attention to them anyway.
Seems like Bosh is staying.
Indeed. Respect.
Riley doesn't like to build through the draft, he said so many times (although the best player Miami ever got was ironically from the draft), and he will try to go for short term plans. Won't win a title of course, but keep the Heat a playoff team.
Now who's the third main piece? Deng? Ariza? God forbid, Stephenson? (Of course if the Bosh deal is finalized, which is looking likely now).
Maybe he'll go after Gasol again, presumably they can offer him more now.
I don't think Gasol will be interested. Gasol reportedly wants to stay in the West coast. OKC, LA, SA, are the main favorites. If he's heading to the East he would probably rather prefer the Bulls. Also, if he wants the money then he has it in LA.
Also, Miami would probably like to sign a bit younger guys to help them build for the future.
Meanwhile, Houston are finalizing those trades now, without landing Bosh, or Melo. They have max money now (which will disappear in 24 hours) but nobody to offer it to.
Oklahoma City and San Antonio are not on the west coast.
I meant Western conference. Well done grammar nazi.
Geography nazi, thank you very much.
lol
By the way, I have some bad news and good news for you.
The bad news, Miami are reportedly looking at the chance of signing Monroe. The good news (for you), they have zero chance of landing him.

Looks like Deng is leaning towards Miami. Gasol is leaving LA (unlikely to go to Miami).
Riley's statement for Lebron's Decision II.
Well done, Pat.
Nah, Houston were the one that did it to screw New York so they wouldn't match it.
Suns trade for Isiah Thomas, that's 6 point guards on our books right now...
Aw crap. I was hoping we could get him for Josh Smith. Isiah Thomas belongs in Detroit.
I get a feeling that Love is heading to Cleveland, don't think LeBron would have gone to the Cavs are they are.
ESPN reporting that Lin gets traded to Lakers.
He's already traded. Houston has 24 hours now to sign a max player or they're in minor trouble.
Morey tried to be too clever this time and it's biting him back in the ass.
What did he do wrong?
If Melo signs with Chicago, I will explode all over the place. Strange, though, that even with Boozer being amnestied and Rose coming back from yet another knee injury, Chicago was 4th favorite for the title next season. Does Vegas know something we don't or do they just have massive faith in Dougie and D-Rose?
Too many pending deals at once and no actual agreed deals. Even if they match Parsons contract, their squad depth is basically non-existent and no marquee free agent that they wanted.
So it's 'overpay for above-average players or wait till next year' time again.
Heh. Even as I posted that I was thinking something didn't quite sound right.
Don't have any particular affiliation for any specific teams.
I like Spurs for Pop, Timmy and Man Utd and Miami for LeBron and DWade.
Mimai have offered Bosh 23.5 Million a year contract?
I guess Pat Riley doesn't want to lose Bosh along with LeBron and feels its necessary he keeps Bosh.
