chunkles posted:I'm kind of leaning towards the Heat's window being closed but: LeBron James, who is basically like a free ticket to the ECF. They just rattled off 4 straight Finals appearances. I think the window is now an archway. And it is open for as long as cyborg LeBron sticks around because the East is easy pickings. I'm probably wrong, but I think Wade might actually retire. At least I hope he doesn't Allen Iverson himself. I want Miami to go all in on a combination of Kyle Lowery, Marcin Gortat and that kid Napier in the 1st round.

LeBron loves Wade and Bosh like family. Probably Ray Allen too. I put the chances of him leaving at maybe 3%. I'm interested in seeing what Birdman gets on the market. He looked like poo poo in the Finals so I'm guessing that thigh contusion never fully healed.

I never once heard that LeBron loved Mo Williams. And he brought Big Z to Miami. I'm not saying LeBron loves Mario loving Chalmers. He could leave. But it isn't like leaving Cleveland. At all. But he and Wade are actually like brothers.

Shane Battier just gave his final press conference as an NBA player. I know this makes many of you happy, but I'm going to miss that dude.quote:I got better looking and wittier as my career went on and I got slower and couldn't jump as high. Also, Bosh was sounding pretty sure the Big 3 era isn't over. He all but said "I'm staying."

No. We don't want Chalmers back godamnit. The Heat should bring in Patty Mills for the MLE and an all you can eat pass to Tootsies.

Eltoasto posted:Cleveland doesn't need to court Lebron or trade for Love, they just need to get the best player with this #1 pick and hire a solid coach. Then they will start winning in a weak east and have a ton of cap flexibility to bring in guys. But those guys won't want to come there until they can get things straight. You lost me when you said that Cleveland just needed to not screw up the pick and get the right coach.

Icy Penguigo posted:At least it's a hard pick to screw up this time, and their coaching search has made me cautiously optimistic so far. Blatt, Tyronn Lue Alvin Gentry, and Mark Price are the leading candidates right now. They haven't interviewed Jackson and it sounds like Del Negro is not in the running. True. I mean, they have to take Embiid or Wiggins right? Right?!?

Tas Melas of the Starters just mentioned that Jonas Valanciunas is on the list of big men to work with Hakeem this offseason. JV with a dream shake is what basketball wet dreams aspire towards. Icy Penguigo posted:All I was saying is Irving + Love is probably a better duo to team up with than Wade and Bosh right now This is not true.

Neither Love nor Irving plays any defense. Neither shoots as efficiently as Bosh nor Wade. And that isn't even considering the ramifications of chemistry after playing together for 4 years, all ending in the Finals.

Sheriff posted:No offense but you are delusional if you think the Cavs are the best long-term fit for Lebron. Best case scenario is what, they take Embiid and in a few years look like a slightly better version of this year's Rockets (and that's assuming they can get some good roleplayers on cheap contracts)? I'm sure Lebron can't wait to waste the remaining years of his athletic prime waiting on that. Why not just sign with Houston this offseason if that's the team he wants to play with? I know what you are saying, but LeBron, Harden, Dwight, Handsome Parsons and the flotsam of the Rockets bench would probably win the next 2 or 3 titles. And, even as a Miami fan, I would love to see that team destroy the West while conquering Texas.

Chicago has missed out on every big free agent they've targeted since Tracy McGrady spurned them for Orlando and Grant Hill. I have no doubt they will wind up doing so again this year.

Strawberry Panda posted:Most owners are great at making money but not great at being relatable human beings. There are different forms of intelligence and your bank account statement does not validate a person's real worth. Like we're probably all broke paying off student loans here but we're also pretty cool and talk about sports in a calm and intelligent manner and probably are good people. I'm definitely broke.

Melo is going to re-sign in NY. LeBron is going to re-sign or opt-in with Miami. The Bulls will get a crappy, bottom of the bargain bin PG and turn him into a regular season useful player, the Pacers will continue to miss shots, water is wet, sky is blue.
