Can't stay on top forever. Now we'll see rileys gm chops eh..

Durant, and many others, are FA in 2016.

Don't be suprised if Riley leaves also. He's not getting any younger and he has nothing to prove anymore.

He's part owner of the team. He's not LEAVING. Retiring? I don't think so…. not after he just gave a press conference saying "You don't quit at the first sign of adversity" Pat Riley is OLD SCHOOL.

Funny thing about that statement, is that's how he got LeBron. I am a fan of rileys, but just saying. Smells like hypocrisy is cooking in the oven. Sounds like LA and Miami have similar gameplans.

Reading lins 15 million salary only counts as 8 mill against Lakers cap for whatever reason

Yeah I'm not sure how that all shakes out but Lakers get an expiring contract that will be at 8 mil. for them and gave up nothing in return (other than cash and forigen player rights). Not a big Lin fan but it is a good move.

Riley has proven himself to be a great manager of basketball teams, both as a coach and GM. His record speaks for itself, and I wouldn't be shocked if we saw Miami as major challengers for the championship in a few years. But he'll need to attract some major talent for that to happen, of course.

I don't see Durant leaving OKC

Funny you heat fans felt the same way about LBJ.




Pat is old, oh and you can still maintain ownership and not be involved day to day.

I think any player who wants to win a title can be persuaded these days. Esp if Durant doesn't win a title in the next year or two.

I think he's got more character and class than that

Somehow somewhere along the way how the **** did a free agent exercising his right to sign anywhere become low class and character-less?!?

The Chicago Bulls are gauging interest with free agent Dwyane Wade, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

I truly don't see wade leaving ala Kobe Bryant..

Ugh...

 

[Wake]

Wade opted out of $42 mil over 2 years… Heat will give that to him. So if he goes, he will never make that back becuz Chi can't pay him that. And wouldn't if they could.

 

[The Mike]

Wow, NBA Store is quick, they're selling it without waiting to find out his proper number.

 

[lukewarm]

Plus that would give chi a backcourt that has trouble crossing the finish line.
