Lowry looks like he will end up at Miami for Cole and cash not to bad

Bulls Rockets and Mavs leading the charge for Anthony would be stoked to get him but can't see it happening

You realise that the Lowry to Heat thing was all crap from Bucher who has retracted it and apologized because he's a f***wit right?

His apology made or great reading.

I lol'd at the part about how he can't explain the lengths his source would go to set him up, just go find a mirror and ask the dickhead you see why?

I really hope Gordon doesn't keep that 00. It shits me when players use that.

Less than 30 minutes later... (bigger) surprise!

Smart move/s if they wanted to keep competing for titles... Miami bending over backwards for LeBron it would seem.

Willing to bet Wade has a lucrative lifetime ambassadorial role for the Heat awaiting him the minute he retires.

 

[stewie griffen]

Is there a cap on organisational spending?
Anything stopping them from signing all three for the minimum (OK that's ridiculous), and then mysteriously LBJ and wade turn up as assistant gm and assistant scout after retiring, on 10 mill a year..... If it wasn't on paper.... Lol

Ha! Wouldn't put anything past Pat Riley.

It'll be interesting to see who they pursue with that cap space, whatever it ends up being. Assuming the 'Big 3' stay, one would think they'll look at 2/3 solid signings rather than swinging for another 'Heatle' (would Lowry count?).

Guess Wade will receive something in the range 2/20, perhaps LBJ and Bosh will take shorter deals too... gives them another shot at a good contract in 2016.

 

[Bobber]

Great move by Wade and Bosh, helped the franchise set them up for the next few years to keep competing!

he could work for visy

 

[peternorth]

you guys forgot to mention haslem has also opted out.

[peternorth]

number 12

Fair point, however he is a depth player and only opted out of 4 mill instead of the huge amounts of the big 3

Still a great sign by Haslem, I am sure Riley will do the right thing and sign him to a 3 year 6 mill deal or something

 

[Dez!]

That 55 million in cap space isn't that clear and doesn't include the cap holds of the Big 3 which is 59 million.

 

[Dez!]

Also according to Woj, LeBron looking for the max.

and he deserves it

 

[Dez!]

and he deserves it

Definitely but it impacts the Bosh deal who's apparently looking for 15-16M in his next deal, Wade's deal who isn't worth more than a turd sandwich anymore and the FA's they can get.

 

[Scully2Folau]

Wot?

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

That was my reaction aswell.

 

[Messenger]

Wot?

He figured if Flip Saunders could do it....

Oh, and a big hi to soon to be ex coach Larry Drew

 

[Dez!]

Had to LOL that they only give Drew one season, useless franchise.

Just come to Chicago Jabari.

 

[Scully2Folau]

So now Twitter says one of the new Bucks owners is friends with Kidd and was once his financial advisor.

 

[peternorth]
