well we were fans before this happened lol, we are not gonna just forget what others offered us the past few years

I don't even see what the problem really is anymore. It's three guys that are very close friends that are all taking less money in order for a bigger shot at winning the title. People complain that NBA players only care about the money. Now that Wade, James, and Bosh are all on the same team everyone is mad? They're just having fun right now. Wade never said the best big three ever, he said arguably, so don't mix that up. Unless they start acting like the Celtics by setting illegal screens, having an idiot like KG, or complaining to be the best player in the league like Pierce did (although Wade or LeBron could be one day), they are not as bad as you guys are making it seem. Notice how the only fans that are butthurt are the ones that were in the LeBron race and didn't get him and majority of the Laker fans. Everyone needs to relax until they play a good amount of basketball, then judge.

I hope he does. Do it Fish, I dare you. His D will be their problem and they will run into Rondo and Jameer eventually and Fish will get abused.

Actually, it doesn't. All this really does is give Bosh and James the 6 year deal with the 10.5% increases. The Heat only owned Bird Rights on Dwyane Wade and Joel Anthony (I think, not 100% sure). They still have to absorb James and Bosh's salaries (ie, they have to renounce to all of their free agents). They can't exceed the cap to sign Haslem and won't have the MLE to use. Since everybody is taking a paycut, it doesn open up more salary for the Heat to give to Haslem though, but they still don't have his Bird Rights because they need to be far enough under the cap to absorb the incoming salaries from Bosh and James. Haslem is going to have to still take a decent paycut in order to stay in Miami though, unless James, Wade and Bosh all sign for like $13-14M a season or something, which would give them around $6M to use on Haslem (I think, not 100% sure). Also, the Miller signing is possible because of the Beasley trade. They basically used the salary that Beasley would've made plus a bit of left over cap (from all three taking around a $800K paycut) and gave it to Miller. Again, I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think that is what happened with that signing. I could obviously be wrong, but I am fairly certain that the Heat still won't have Bird Rights on anybody and won't have the MLE to use just because of these S&T's as it basically the exact same as a signing except for the formality of getting the players the 6 years. There is now salary being outputted and is basically a glorified signing for the Heat.

Make the thread and wel see about that.

Gilbert has EVERY right to be pissed. Lebron didn't even tell them he was leaving until like 20 mins before the show. Seriously, if he made up his mind up in the morning, why couldn't he call the teams and tell them he's going to the heat? Lerbon is a fricken prick, and I hope the Heat don't make the playoffs. Awesome job Gilbert.

Owners should be fans. And easy for you to say. Look what happened to our team and yours.

you beat us by 4 points in game 7 of the nba finals...sorry if its a touchy subject to us.
