All Things LeBron James..Over 20 different LeBron threads merged into one.

Not if DWade and Bosh take a "paycut." DWade stated on record that he and Bosh don't need the "max" deals. They will take "less" in order to land other high profile FAs. Their words, not mine.

DWade and Bosh were sincere when they said "this isn't about the money." It's about creating a legacy. Multiple championships.

Again, don't ever underestimate Pat Riley. :thumbsup:

dude. they arent taking that BIG of pay cuts to pay Miller 30 million and Lebron max.....theyd be giving up a TON of their salaries.

I don't think they lied but it just sounds like Pat Reily's kind way of saying they'll get rid of Spoelstra if they sign James.

 

[NyMets609]

believe it or not this offer is really big news and could be a huge tell...

Riley blatantly lied when he said he wasnt going to fire Van Gundy and than 2 days later did. lol but anyhow back to the issue at hand...being reported heat offered 5 year deal to Mike Miller....does this mean they have given up on Lebron? they certainly dont have enough money to pay both..

I agree with you on that past scenario. That was horrible. Perhaps Shaq gave Riley the ultimatum, and he (Riley) had no choice.

I just think Spoelstra is a different cat. Younger, agressive. DWade really likes him. I've seen him numerous times, and he's the perfect fit for this new Heat.

Pat Riley is just like the Big Tuna now with the Fins. Watching from afar, but orchestrating killer deals.

If Riley boots Spoelstra, I will be very pissed off.

I commented on the Miller matter in another post.

if he wants to win miami, if he wants money then cavs

If he Wanted Money, it would be the Nets :grandmais

 

[Betallsports]

I'm going with Heat also. The only thing is Lebron built that huge home in Ohio. However; the cost of that place is probably peanuts to him.

He could Build the same House on Star Island. :drink:

 

[NyMets609]

or wow what this could mean they found a trade for Beasley and Lebron is def coming...fuck..

You're assuming that LeBron will also not take a paycut. Hmmm ....... money vs. chance to win multiple championships. Tough decision for the King.

Plus, Miller is not a done deal, correct? That figure the Heat allegedly offered is "set in stone?" :think2:

Yup.

Sorry to be redundant, but never ever underestimate PAT RILEY!

Anything is possible with that guy at the helm!

yes and they have given him a dead line to respond by mid night....which you could also read into alot of ways..

 

[NyMets609]

Yup.

even with pay cuts and a Beasley trade I still dont see how they would have enough money to pay all 4. and to answer your question Incubus...Lebron has been waiting his whole life for this...he is NOT taking a pay cut for anyone lol.

 

[gynecologist]

Via — that’s right — US Magazine:

LeBron James has rented six cabanas at the W Hotel South Beach this weekend to celebrate his team decision, two sources confirm to UsMagazine.com.
That adds more fuel to the fire that James, 25, will announce he’s joining the Miami Heat Thursday night, as several insiders told ESPN this morning.
​

 

[coloradobuff]

yep..9pm ET..espn says he will make announcement in first 10 minutes

 

[KingofNicotine]

At this point anyone can call these news sources and say "I just saw Lebron James in South Beach."

These places don't check their sources too well and at a time like this they are vulnerable.
