July 7, 201412 yr That's how I've seen them going and why I fully have not eliminated the possibility of Melo coming to Miami. It is still tough to imagine Melo leave 30 million on the table by leaving NY. But my rationale is that Bosh's value to the Heat only comes about if he plays as an interior player. He is now exclusively a perimeter player which greatly devalues his worth to the Heat. If they are not going to upgrade on the inside they can upgrade Bosh's position. Would it be $30M? I read that in taxes alone he'd save $15 over the length of the contract if he left NY for a non-tax state. Most of that $30 comes from an extra year he can sign for in NY doesn't it? If so he can still get paid for that season on next contract.
July 7, 201412 yr He even got dogged out by Barkley when he left the Cavs! That Phoenix Sun has his nerve. :lol2:
July 7, 201412 yr Chris Sheridan tweeted out he gives it a 75% chance that LeBron returns home to Cleveland. His entire inner-circle (wife, agent, friends, etc) all want him back with the Cavs.
July 7, 201412 yr Chris Sheridan tweeted out he gives it a 75% chance that LeBron returns home to Cleveland. His entire inner-circle (wife, agent, friends, etc) all want him back with the Cavs. I think the one thing that stands out to me is that he is playing for the Heat but teams are flying in to Cleveland to meet with his agents. If Cleveland can't get him back that has to be one of the biggest fails ever. :lol2: Pat Riley has to fly to Cleveland to talk him into staying in Miami.:eyeonyou:
July 7, 201412 yr Well reports are coming out that the Heat may let Bosh leave and pursue others. That would save a lot of cap room. Houston will be very tough if they can ink Bosh to go with Harden, Parsons, and Howard.
July 7, 201412 yr What will the Heat look like if LBJ leaves? Riley may retire rather than try to rebuild with nothing.
July 7, 201412 yr Chris Sheridan tweeted out he gives it a 75% chance that LeBron returns home to Cleveland. His entire inner-circle (wife, agent, friends, etc) all want him back with the Cavs. I never would have dreamed this would be happening at this point. From Dan Gilbert, fans burning jerseys, and to LeBron openly admitting he does not like the City of Cleveland I just never thought it would happen until later in his career. Then again, I never imagined he would call a one hour special to give the City of Cleveland the middle finger so I am numb to any choice he makes.
July 7, 201412 yr The Cavs just today removed the Dan Gilbert letter to fans from their website. I heard that and am amazed. Gilbert should have taken that down within days of putting it up. It almost becomes a negative that he took it down now. Of course he has to take it down if he wants to seriously consider LeBron, but the fact that it was still up works against Cleveland big time if I am LeBron.

I'd be shocked if he didn't know the letter was still up.
July 7, 201412 yr I think a max contract is what he wants and will go to the place that can pay him properly and put the pieces together to win. Lebron is not the first superstar to leave a team to chase a title somewhere else. Shaq, Pippen, Drexler, Barkley.....they all left teams to chase a title. How come Lebron is always treated as the bad guy when he does it? Fans are fickle. Always have been. Always will be. Just win.... What if his wife is applying the pressure for them to go back to Cleveland? Oh my word, is PP really taking up for Lebron? :sssh: :scared: Finally seeing the light! :thumb: No matter what Lebron does he will always be criticized.
July 7, 201412 yr If the Bosh domino falls before LeBron makes a decision, does it pretty much eliminated Miami as an option? Only way it wouldn't IMO, would be to trade for Love, but they have no assets to offer Minnesota in return.
July 7, 201412 yr Houston will be very tough if they can ink Bosh to go with Harden, Parsons, and Howard. Still have to play defense, Howard can't block everything.
July 7, 201412 yr Disagree. I'd be shocked if he didn't know the letter was still up. Disagree with what? I'm confused. I am not saying Gilbert didn't know the letter was still up. Is that an explanation Gilbert came out with for the letter still being up? I was assuming he knew it was still up.

You must have me confused with someone else. I haven taken up for Lebron quite often. I accused him of quitting on Cleveland in his last year there but other than that I have taken up for him more than most. I think to this day I am still the only person who was in favor of The Decision.
