I will wager anyone right now 1000 betpoints that AT LEAST 1 out of the 3 (James, Bosh, Wade) will not return to the Miami Heat during the 2014-2015 season.

Ok, I'll take that bet. I say LeBron, Bosh, and Wade are all with the Heat for 2014-15 season for 1000 betpoints. You have at least 1 of the 3 not returning to Miami for upcoming season.

No one has ever won a championship without another superstar on the team, maybe Dirk. Lebron is the next closest to doing so. People cannot think for themselves anymore. Everyone thinks there is three superstars on this team because the media has dubbed them the "big 3". Bosh was never a superstar, he was simply the best player on the Raptors and thus had inflated numbers. Wade hasn't been in his prime in years. There is no "Big 3" in Miami. There's Lebron and some really nice supporting players. There's not even a second superstar on this team. There's no Pippen for Jordan, No Kobe for Shaq, No Magic for Kareem, No McHale for Bird, No Parker for Duncan.

Pippen is one of the most overrated players ever. Jordan made Pippen. I'll never forget that joke of a top 50 NBA players of all time list that they stupidly included Pippen in.

Yes I agree Pippen was one of the most overrated players ever

Jordan would've won with anyone

Greatest player of all-time not even a close second

Why would Wade opt out of a guaranteed contract worth so much if he wasn't 100% sure he'd be getting a contract worth at least that much?
Wade isn't worth near what Miami is paying him.

More evidence of what I said in Post #57. He won't get what he was due this season from any other team (probably), he opted out to take a cut so they can have a Big 4. And even "cut" is a tricky word for everyone involved because there are ways to circumvent salary cap with bonuses and such, so Heat may get very creative with the contracts.

Mass exodus?

Clearly that was stated in the ESPN SportsCenter 11PM Edition last night. That one reporter was 99% sure they would stay. Not risking the points though. I would of if ESPN didn't make that statement conclusively last night. Sorry.

I'm still crossing my fingers that one player leaves for more money. So, many teams need any of those 3 players. Leave for the damn money... what a bunch of pansies. Heat will never win another championship.

More like NO exodus, read the thread. Heat will have a Big 4 next year. And not a "mess" at all, stars doing Heat a favor.

nobody is going anywhere

lebron just needs more help so they don't get beat up by san antonio again

Jordan will always be the best ever

6-0 in finals

game over

Mac4Lyfe · 06-30-14, 01:00 PM

How many more times am I going to read... "Lebron needs more help"?

I think all 3 stay but I'm hoping somebody in the East wakes the Fup and become a worthy challenger. Indiana sucks and is the best you got which is pathetic. Maybe some young teams can step up. Like Toronto, Washington, Cleveland. Someone, anyone but this mess we have now.

Lebron wants max money. No way all 3 stay if that happens.

No one in the east will challenge next year except for Chicago. Maybe Wiz in a couple years.

Mac4Lyfe · 06-30-14, 01:14 PM

Unfortunately, I agree.

heat are not winning another championship with those three together, no matter who else they get. heat need to just let bosh and wade leave, especially wade, cause dudes are not stars anymore. you can't make up a 20 pt margin with those wade and bosh playing major minutes on your team.

That's a stupid statement. So even if they all took less money and got Kevin Love or some other big name, you don't think they'd win? Wrong.

no they won't. Bosh and Wade sucked pretty bad in the finals and honestly will be worst next year. Love or Melo or whoever, that will not make up the disparity from this year's margin. They've got to overhaul the roster. Those two have to leave.

lebron just needs more help

Big Bear · 06-30-14, 03:35 PM

Funny how free agency in the NBA gets more press coverage than the NBA Finals lol

olamide · 06-30-14, 04:19 PM

I seriously don't understand the hate when it comes to Lebron. I don't hate him cos i don't regard or think he is the best ever. I just love his game as he's damn good.

Cross · 06-30-14, 09:39 PM

Any new developments here?

He has never been the highest paid player on his team. Heat have 55 million in cap space, so he can get max money and still have all 3 stay. They may not be able to get anyone else. I think the Heat owner should be willing to pay some luxury tax, even by getting Anthony. His franchise is worth billions, and he could get it back in jersey sales.
