Doc Rivers is now President of Basketball operations, if you didn't already know he's basically in charge since he came in.

Cigar Aficionado posted:Birdman and Battier are gone, Haslem is useless, Oden and Beasley aren't worth keeping around, and Wade is shot. I can't see how the Heat are viable next season. By still having Lebron James.

grapesmoker posted:It seems like this depends heavily on who they can attract. The big 3 plus Haslem and Cole are on the books for $70 mil for next season, so any significant maneuvers will have to depend on getting at least two of them to opt out and take less. The vibe I get is that Wade is not willing to do so, which may undermine the whole operation, and LeBron may not be satisfied to tread water for a year. It's certainly far from a foregone conclusion that the whole thing will just fall apart, but I don't think there's any guarantee that Miami is going to be either good or together next season. Lebron is on record on saying he'd rather miss the playoffs than not win a title.

I mean Wade could still be a 20 PPG, you should be asking what his FG% is and how many games he can play.

I think the Heat should just go the old Celtics method of basically ignoring the regular season to just get the minimum wins needed for the playoffs. Lebron playing maybe 25 minutes a game and cruising to 38 wins or whatever for the 8th seed.

So how much bitching will the owners do again when Bosh takes that reported 15 million annual contract? Or is this going to be some media backlash on any other superstar taking a max deal instead of a discount for the team?

Lockback posted:haha, what the gently caress is wrong with Jason Kidd. He wanted a loving raise? He made more than Vogel, Joerger or Hornacek. Jesus christ. Coach contract inflation when Kerr, Fisher, and a guy from Europe are all in the top 5 salaries for a coach before even taking a clipboard.

attackmole posted:I'm incredibly stoked that John Salmons is gone. That's addition by subtraction right there. Now, the Raptors also could have solved the problem by you know, not giving him loving minutes, but it's good having that contract off the book and it saves Casey from himself. They actually gained salary by trading Salmons because his contract was only guaranteed for 1 million.

On the other hand, Billy King and if you somehow forgot traded 7th overall for expiring Gerald Wallace, who was then given a 40 million extension who then was traded along with more picks for old people

Let's hope this means Boozer gets the amnesty with all this "talk" about them landing a free agent, especially a big like Pau. You can also never have too many excellent passing bigs on a roster.

Someone isn't going to pay him again after the last contract, are they? What do you mean by that? Ariza is a top b-tier free agent after Melo and Lebron are off the table.
