 Rondo-Butler-Wade-Mirotic-Lopez

Valentine-Moore-McDermott-Portis-Gibson

After losing Gasol Noah and Rose Bulls really salvaged this offseason.. That’s a solid ten man rotation that could potentially challenge CLE if all goes right for them with injuries and chemistry.

 I don’t think it’s going to work out, Wade and Rondo are both ball handlers that can’t space the floor but I do want Wade and Lebron to finally go against eachother in playoffs.

 Heat are  the major losers here if this goes through. The biggest best player in the franchise’s history gone. If Bosh misses the season the Heat are in big trouble already having lost Deng, Joe Johnson and Tyler Johnson

He must’ve been really pissed at the Heat to go through with it!  Wade is going home to Chicago.

I’ll believe this when it happens officially…

PG: Rajon Rondo/Jerian Grant/Spencer Dinwiddie
SG: Dwayne Wade/Denzel Valentine
SF: Jimmy Butler/Doug Mcdermott/Tony Snell
PF: Nikola Mirotic/Taj Gibson/Bobby Portis
C: Robin Lopez/Cristiano Felicio

I think this team definitely needs a veteran shooting guard capable of stepping in for Wade throughout the season. I also think they need another Center. I think they should definitely explore moving Taj Gibson. They are strong enough at the 4 with Mirotic and Portis.

 I’m not sure why, but Riley bugs the heck out of me. He seems just super smug and slimey. Might be the hair. 

Honestly don’t think this is the worst thing for Miami. I’ve never understood this notion that because Wade took less money in his prime, he is entitled to more now. He got all that credit for taking less money, that’s what you get when you take less money, not more money when you aren’t worth it anymore. 

This is good for the Heat too. They can bottom out, force feed Winslow minutes and rebuild again. They had a nice little run and if Wade went back, they might be a playoff team again, but it was unlikely. He’s a shell of himself at this point and while he’s a good player still, Miami wasn’t going anywhere.

 I have a feeling Riles is quite content with this outcome. He kinda forced Wade’s hand really. Wade moves on, they tore the band aid off quickly, drama contained to a few days in the off season, and Riley can build fresh again in Miami.

 Portis is 6’11, (6’10.5), with a 7’2 wing span, he can play back up center in todays NBA.

How did kobe’s contract hurt the lakers? They sold out l near every game both home and road despite sucking and were worth watching for one reason last year, why do you think that was? The 17 wins? Did his contract cost them free agents? Nope they had plenty of $ to offer max contracts each of the last 2 seasons and did offer multiple guys max deals, they just didn’t come. They still aren’t coming without Kobe so I doubt it was him. In fact lakers had to trade for lin’s final year of 15 mil and Hubert’s final year of 15 mil just meet the league minimum salary level each of the last 2 years.

So kobes deal was financially beneficial to the lakers organization in terms of ticket sales and profit and it didn’t cost them 1 single free agent. Plus it showed loyalty and kept the fan base happy and painted the organization in a positive light instead of hard bargaining and potentially losing a guy who brought 5 rings and the backlash that would have come with that. So explain how kobes contract hurt the team?

 And here I thought he’d be one of the few one franchise guys but money and loyalty can make all the difference.

 Calderon going to the Lakers brings a likely end to the Marcelo Huertas era of playing time in LA. It was a legendary time

 Riles really wanted to move on from wade and start new era, not holding off and let the young guys winslow and j rich to start taking the lead and flourish…

After losing 3 key players via trades or FA the Bulls have made some nice moves in FA and now have a very solid roster. D-Wade played off ball with LBJ so I don’t see there being any issue with him doing likewise with Rondo, he’ll get nice floor spacing too and get his share of shots.

Also under new cap regime – Robin Lopez’s contract suddenly looks better value too.
