Lol

smith seems like he should fit on paper, but i think it'd be a negative in reality

Marion may be 10M but he expires next summer

You can spend 10M this summer on a better player but that player will still be on roster for 10M+ next summer

If they want Lebron, then they do this to stockpile more young talent (#13)

the heat should never trade chris bosh , his gif value is way too high

Spoiler Alert:

Taking Assani post from season thread and replying in offseason thread since it's now offseason:

I'm not saying there wasn't an adjustment period or that his numbers weren't obviously going to take a hit no matter what. Obviously, your PER falls when your USG falls, and yes that was a main factor in his numbers declining. However, his rebounding also took a huge drop when he came to Miami on both sides of the ball, and there's really no reason whatsoever he should rebound less in Miami. If anything, his role should be to rebound more there while he focuses less on scoring. It's happening on both sides of the ball equally too so you can't blame his role at all. Basically, if Bosh was back some place like Toronto next year, there's no way in hell he'd touch a 25 PER because he just doesn't rebound on remotely the same level any more. This isn't that unusual for someone in their late 20s. Rebounding's definitely a young man's game and is an area where people tend to decline quicker than they do in a lot of other stats. Meanwhile, even if he's shooting a little less, the fact that Bosh tied a career-high in TS% this year tells me he's figured out his role in the offense pretty well. If anything, he'd probably be an even better fit if they shipped Wade out of town so he could take over the primary scoring role every time LeBron's on the bench.

Realistically though, I think they're just gonna stand pat. They've won two titles in a row, they're heavy favorites next year, and they know if they still have the nucleus intact after a 3-peat that LeBron's not going anywhere. Also, if there was ever a superstar to be loyal to, it's Wade. No other superstar in history has ever single-handedly recruited a better player to take over the team which is pretty monstrous. Keeping Wade is about 100x more reasonable than keeping Kobe IMO (which is the most obvious snap-amnesty imaginable).

iggy is right.

I'm pretty sure I've dropped all the Bosh truth that needs to be said.

Maybe the biggest bummer about the Spurs not closing out game 6 and then losing in 7 is it probably locked up Bosh as a HoFer. If they fall in 6 and he's the one they end up shipping out, AND he never returns to TOR beast status (he wouldn't), his supposed HoF career is in serious doubt.

Of course this is the same HoF that will likely include Christian Laettner one day so whatever.

Offseason predictions: Howard to Rox. CP3 clips. Iggy to Hawks. Smoov to Bucks. Monta to kings.

cp3 has to see that the donald will never care about the quality of his teams and gtfo, right?

If cp3/d12 stay put then the best move of the offseason was already made: Hawks hiring Bud for their coach

This would be some pretty egregious LOL Clippers

Looking more and more like CP3 and Dwight are going to end up in the same place.

Anyone care to link/embed the new Dan Lebatard rant?

S&T Ty Lawson/Jordan Hamilton + 2016 NYK 1st for CP3
S&T Javale / Wilson / Dre Miller + 2014 NYK 1st for D12

CP3
Iggy
Gallo
Faried
Duwight

Stone
Fournier
Korver (he's signing with Denver sorry boys)
Randolph
Koufos

This will happen trust me.

Welcome to Atlanta where the playas play

boring for woyas since I don't imagine a d.lee trade, and they got no spending money/draft picks. only possible changes are landry and jack that would get more usage/$ on a worse team, making our bench significantly worse.

Lol. Would immediately change to Kroenk avatar.

Ty ty. So awesome.

If the clippers get kg/pp/doc they become so disgusting the next 2 years.

Their major weakness which was late game decision making/defense was basically completely reversed into a strength.

Offseason predictions:

1) KANGZ are forced to trade boogie, sign Monta to a near max, and go after smoove for the max; all while marketing their lotto pick. Worlds implode.

2) Knicks trade Tyson chandler

3) Celtics sign Lionel Hollins to retain minority status

4) Birdman is arrested in an outhouse having sex with an unidentifiable animal, while doing krokidil. Heat then sign him to the MLE after intense consultation with THAKID

lolefatard, surprised he didn't keel over like galdonfini after that

I'm terrified that Dallas is going to go after Dwight again. Please fail.

Lol intense consultation with THAKID.

What makes you think the Knicks will trade Tyson Chandler?
