Lakers get Jose Calderon.

**The Bad Guy** · 07-06-2016, 08:46 PM

Riley has sold a family atmosphere where he emphasizes taking care of their own as his pitch for years.

That won't work anymore. He sold Dragic on taking less last year so he could pay Wade this year. Dragic has to be furious.

That roster is an absolute mess. Whiteside could go off the rails at any time. Bosh is a huge ?

Riley really showed his ass here.

I guess if you're unable to field a competitive American team, might as well build an international one.

WOW. He must have been really really pissed off. I never thought he would leave Miami.

Tough call. I remember when the Yankees did the same dance with Jeter. Even though it was a nice story and feeling to watch Jeter retire a Yankee, they obscenely overpaid for that warm and fuzzy. I don't know that 25m is obscene overpayment. But it's an interesting debate about whether Miami should have let emotion get in the way of a business decision.

Assume they also got some pick out of taking Calderon to help the Bulls sign Wade.

Looks like he got 2/47MM which isn't far off what Miami was offering.

KC_Connection · 07-06-2016, 09:14 PM

So Riley talking shit about Wade's friend LeBron didn't pay off for him after all. Might be time to retire.

With Wade and Rajon Rondo in their back court, the Bulls might have one of the worst-shooting back courts in the NBA pic.twitter.com/qZtpXctrXe

There is no question in my mind they should have paid him. He took alot of pay cuts over the years to help the team and then when he says it is time to pay the max they give all their money to Whiteside and others. I would be pissed to. He won 3 Championships for them they owed him as far as I am concerned.

I believe he deserved as much too and that it really hurts Rileys rep. But it would definitely be a courtesy contract.

OldSchool · 07-06-2016, 09:25 PM

I wonder what other solid veteran will be joining the Warriors for a ring?

**Buehler445** · 07-06-2016, 09:27 PM

This offseason is cray-cray. Durant dumped a lot of money to go to a team that they had down 3-1 in the finals.

Wade dumps Miami because he's pissed at Riley.

And Delavahobo got $10M per

Did you watch the Heat in the playoffs last year? Wade was ALL they had.
