So he just might have lost his meal ticket due to his pride? Not sure that's a good thing.

A team led by Bosh/Wade obviously won't be going much of anywhere, although I admit I am interested to see if Bosh is still capable of what he used to do 5 years ago.

5 years/118M? Bosh would have been crazy not to take that money.

Pat Riley Statement

While I am disappointed by LeBron's decision to leave Miami, no one can fault another person for wanting to return home. The last four years have been an incredible run for South Florida, HEAT fans, our organization and for all of the players who were a part of it. LeBron is a fantastic leader, athlete, teammate and person, and we are all sorry to see him go.

Over the last 19yrs, since Micky and I teamed together, The Miami HEAT has always been a championship organization; we’ve won multiple championships and competed for many others. Micky, Erik and I remain committed to doing whatever it takes to win and compete for championships for many years to come. We’ve proven that we can do it and we’ll do it again.

Once I get over the fact that Bill Simmons is such a ridiculous fan boy of Boston (at least he admits it...), I realize what a brilliant writer he is. This is about the best summation of Lebron I've seen. Says almost everything I've always wanted to say but much better about his place in history, while acknowledging his greatness, and throwing in some real smart commentary about why he made the decisions he made.

If you're Cleveland, isn't Gasol + Wiggins better than Love?

Didnt Gasol have more win shares than Kobe during their titles runs?

This. Although you know that Cavs fans like him would have never wanted to take him back if it wasn't for what he could do for them (i.e., championships for Cleveland).

I would think absolutely. Wiggins' potential is more than worth it.

Not sure, but it wouldn't surprise me. Gasol was a fantastic player during those seasons, one of the best in the NBA.

Absolutely. But only because Love is going to cost you some serious trade bait and a shitload of cash, whereas Gasol + Wiggins cost you no players or picks and can play on the cheap. I also think they fill in gaps the Cavs badly need. Wiggins brings defense, Gasol brings a more stable post presence. Gasol + Wiggins + Lebron + Allen and/or James Jones makes this team really dangerous.

If Wiggins does play tonight they have to sign him first and then he can't be traded for 30 days. They also risk an injury ruining any trade. I would think if Wiggins plays then he won't be involved in any trade talks.

I've always thought Wiggins had Durant-ish like potential.


What team wouldn't want a Durant/LeBron combo on their team.

Why do people seem to think Dwayne Wade sucks? He's had productive as shit years the last two years. He's banged up, not what he used to be, but he's easily a Top 20 player.
