Dick Allen Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Pat Riley is complaining about Lebron leaving Miami and "contemporary free agency". He said the stars of the past would never leave. IIRC, Riley signed Lebron as a free agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldnt sign them all this time. Lebron wasnt interested in playing for a discount again. And If Riley was smart he would have saddled himself with Bosh and Lebron instead of Wade and Bosh. Wade has spent a lot of time injured in the last 5 years. I understand he was the face of the Heat, but it was time to let that guy test out FA for real Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that have actually gotten them under the cap far enough to make a difference with 2 other max deals on the books? I'm skeptical. Otherwise that's the difference between the MLE and the mini-MLE. Maybe they could have traded him for something as an expiring but teams aren't doing that as much these days, they already moved most of their draft picks, and they wouldn't have been drafting highly in any of the picks they have remaining. How exactly would they retool that roster with something better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wanted to win more rings and that was very unlikely to happen in Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulls heir apparent just got ousted in the first round of the NCAA tourney as the #3 seed. Twitter is making a mockery of the Bulls egotistical front office. Nice collection of tweets in the link. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baske...-htmlstory.html The next Bulls coach just lost in Round One to a 14-seed.
