    He's not interested in winning titles, he would rather be the main guy in NY and get paid a shit ton of money. No way he signs with Miami and takes a massive pay cut, not happening.

Only way I see this working is if they get rid of Wade which actually would make sense considering his knees and the fact that his not gonna be playing more than 50 games a season at this point in his career. However they have too much respect for him and this is still his team and they will stick it out with him.

    You nailed it. It only makes sense for Melo to go to Miami if they dump Wade.

    The big three would all have to opt out of their contracts, then all re-sign with Miami at around 14 Mill per year. Meaning the big three would all have to take even bigger pay cuts than they did when they first teamed up, and Melo would have to take a massive cut in pay to sign with them. I'm not positive, but for Melo to sign with Miami, I believe he would be leaving about 40 Mill on the table, that's a lot of money to walk away from.

    The reason why Howard took less money to play in Houston is because he didn't want to play with Kobe, one year of playing with Kobe was enough for him. A lot of Kobe's teammates don't like playing with him, but you'll never hear them say so publicly.

    i hate to say it since I've always been a fan, but you're right. At the very least a big pay cut since he doesn't play as many games anymore and his production is declining.

    His legs looked dead out there, no lift at all to finish around the basket. He never added a reliable 3pt shot to his game that was needed.

    San Fran dumped Joe Montana, Colts dumped Manning and the Lakers dumped Shaq. I can see the Heat dumping Wade if there is an option to get Melo.

    Melo may be a loser, but he's better than anyone on the Heat other than LeBron. As much of a loser he is, he is a top 10 NBA player. I'll take the talent over a diminishing DWade a any day.

    melo is a lot like pau gasol. when pau was the top dog with memphis, they never won anything... 0-12 in playoffs. then he goes to the lakers and kobe turns him to a back 2 back world champion.

    if melo goes to the heat or lakers, he can help them win cause he will play second fiddle to the real stars.

    They won't win if they pick some crappy coach like D'Antoni. Zen Master days are over.
