QUOTE (T R U @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 03:04 AM) the Heat are my new favorite team, and im gonna go ahead and say what everyone else is thinking.. 82-0 I hope you're being sarcastic.

QUOTE (IamtheHBOMB @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 01:39 AM) I would love to see some highlight reel DRose-Richardson alley-oops this coming season. I've been trying to find contract info on JRich, but haven't found anything so far. Just go to www.hoopshype.com

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 01:37 AM) As long as Redd is healthy, either of those two would be absolutely perfect fits. Michael Redd makes Ben Gordon look like prime Gary Payton defensively. No thanks.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 01:33 AM) Also, of SG's possibly available for trade, Jason Richardson or Michael Redd make the most sense. Redd also has 1 yr left at 18.3 million or so. Also, I don't see Shaq going to Miami. All bets are off after last night's debacle.

QUOTE (IamtheHBOMB @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 01:32 AM) J4L, do Mike Miller, an old fatass Shaq and 7 minimum salary guys scare you? Mike Miller is the sniper they need. And all they really need from Shaq is solid defense and rebounding for about 20 minutes a night.

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 01:26 AM) Mat Latos had another very nice start tonight. It seems like he never gets any love. Other than Josh Johnson (who's my NL CY right now), there hasn't been a better pitcher in baseball the last 6 weeks or so.

QUOTE (IamtheHBOMB @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 01:22 AM) They won't be unbeatable. At least for this year, I have hope. Come playoff time, Bosh, Wade and James will have a s***load of wear on them because of the heavy minutes they will have to play during the regular season. Their roster is going to be pretty sucky outside of them. By the way, I love Noah's reaction to the news of LBJ going to Miami. Joakim is the antithesis of LeBron -- he digs in with his guys and f***ing battles. I love that. Well Shaq is a lock to join and it looks like they're gonna sign Mike Miller. At this point, it's safe to assume Miami's got all their I's dotted and T's crossed.

I can respect all the Bulls enthusiasm. But I just can't get excited knowing that ultimately there's a team in our conference that will be as close to unbeatable as any team in the modern era.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 12:44 AM) I'm still only on page 384, but I COULD NOT let this get by. http://www.nba.com/playoffs2007/news/lebro...oric_night.html And that's only one of many. It is? How many "signature" games did he really have in the postseason?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 12:16 AM) If Kobe's team meets that team in the NBA finals and he somehow beats them... you know he will be heavily thrown around with Jordan as the GOAT alot with this crazy media. And he would deserve all that praise and then some.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 10:06 PM) Kobe was doing everything he could to get out of town after Shaq left because his supporting cast wasn't good enough for him to win a title. Maybe he doesn't go play with Wade but if they hadn't improved their roster he would have left. Honestly, I think that was Kobe's way of putting the fear of god into the front office to make some moves. I don't think he was ever going to leave.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 10:02 PM) I say this with all respect to Wade, I think he is a great and dynamic player, but IMO and others opinions he is either going to have to change his game in 3-4 years or he will fall off the table quickly I don't think so. He'll be able to coast for weeks at a time without the team missing a beat. 38 MPG will be totally different than 38 MPG three years ago.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 09:59 PM) Really, no he can't. Even if he's averaging 35/10/10 the next 3 years, he's doing that with 2 of the other best players in the NBA clearing the way for him. Lebron might never see a double team for the rest of his career.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 09:58 PM) Kevin McHale is in the NBA Hall of Fame. ok? So is Worthy and Pippen. But they were who they were. Great #2 men. Lebron is teaming up with a legitimate #1. To say Magic/Bird or Jordan did something similar is not accurate at all.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 09:53 PM) I'm arguing perception here, and it's already started... to call my arguments "absurd" like palehouse chose to doesn't make sense when there's a lot of pundits and the public out there already writing/saying similar things... perception is reality and a lot of people are going to see him bolting to a team with two other names to try and win a championship. And were McHale or Worthy ever considered top 5 players in the league at any point in their careers? lol. Kareem averaged like 12 ppg when the Lakers won in '88. Terrible comparison.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 09:52 PM) Magic and Bird didn't fail elsewhere because they were surrounded by great players their whole careers. I don't get why that should hurt LeBron's legacy because he got stuck on a team with a bunch of bums. If Cleveland had given Lebron a good supporting cast he almost certainly would have never left. Or maybe if Lebron hadn't shot 30% in the 2007 finals or quit in game 5 against Boston they could've won?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 09:45 PM) I agree, but you have to remember you're talking with a lot of Bulls fans right now. Other than the 5 Heat fans in the world, who would disagree with the notion that Lebron is piggybacking? He got swept in 2007. He couldn't even get to the finals despite the top record and homecourt the last two years. Who cares if he wins a ring with Dwayne f***ing Wade and Chris Bosh as his three man?

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 09:44 PM) You do realize that Magic played with 2 other HOF players pretty much his entire career don't you? Didn't hurt Magic or Larry Bird playing with a ton of other HOF players. They were clearly the best players on the floor. Some nights Kareem would take over, or McHale, or Parrish or Worthy etc etc. These arguments are absurd. Michael wouldn't have won s*** without Scottie. There's no reason LeBron won't be the best player on the floor most nights. Magic and Bird didn't have to bolt to another city with multiple stars (one who already has a ring). No comparison.

"The Decision." lol. I still can't get over that. This was one of the most pathetic spectacles in sports history.

Y'all should listen to Cleveland radio. Wow. They're are cucumber f***ing LePiggyback. http://radiotime.com/station/s_30315/WKNR_850.aspx

Funny thing is Lebron could win the next 10 rings but only like 5 finals MVPs. As there will be countless games/series in which he's not even the best player on his team.

QUOTE (hitlesswonder @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 09:26 PM) That's not true. If Bron wins 10 titles he will be regarded as the greatest player of all-time. Coming straight from HS, his numbers will likely trump Jordan. And you can bet that going to Miami will be spun as Lebron wanting to win more than anything, being unselfish. ESPN will want the greatest player ever to be playing now, so they can cover him. You need to get ready for it happen -- and honestly Lebron might be more talented than Jordan. I happen to like Jordan more, but who knows. Get the f*** outta here. Do you really believe any of the garbage you just posted?

So wait a f***ing minute, this means the Heat can't sign Mike Miller now, right?

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 09:21 PM) Also, i'm convinced the nba needs to do away with a max salary. It's f***ing dumb that an expiring contract is worth so much more than a player now. a cap is enough. A small amount of players make a s*** ton of revenue for the teams, make a high cap, let big salaries exist, but within a teams cap. This is too much. System is stupid. Man, there was a good article a year or so ago talking about how expiring contracts are taking over the game. I'll post it if I can find it.

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 09:18 PM) Enjoy that , and Da Bears, bron will be winning titles seriously, stop living in the past I'm not. But Lebron has undoubtedly taken himself out of the discussion. He could win the next 10 rings and it won't mean s*** to anybody outside of the true 27 Heat fans there are in the country.
