Oh my god.
Unless, Lebron is leaving that bastard is dead to me.
So with Granger signed, Pat Riley must be making an All-NBA Fuck LeBron Team if he does leave.
PG: Delonte West
SG: Lance Stephenson
SF: Danny Granger
PF: Josh McRoberts
C: Greg Oden
Granger is a shock. McRob was a GREAT pickup though. He’s a fat free Pau Gasol without the scoring, rebounding and blocks. He’s got the athleticism, 3p range and he’s only 27.
The McBoberts pick and rolls are money.
Danny Granger vs the pacers are gonna be interesting now
They barely passed them the ball because of what he transmutated his role into. Spo LIKED when he was more aggresive offensively instead of parking himself out by the three-point line. I don’t see it being ANY different in Houston, and frankly - that role under utilizes Bosh. Would he fit - yeah, but he’d fit almost anywhere. But for a MAX PLAYER? F#ck fit, the team should mold around YOU…and that’s my problem. Bosh will act as though Dwight is clogging the lane, and he’ll get tired of the constant banging, it’s part of why he became “Big Smooth 2.0”.
Truth dotcom, of the teams who can throw max dollars? He needs to stick to MIA. PHX might work assuming they resign Bledsoe. Boston is an intriguing option though super duper unlikely. ATL don’t need him. TOR is doing fine without him. Orl doesn’t need him. Dallas he actually might prosper playing of Dirk for a couple years while rebuilding the roster. But with them getting Chandler, he does become redundant. LAL? I’m not sure how well Kobe and him would co-exist.
I mean it just reaks of a mistake for all parties for the Big 3 to split. Wade can’t carry even MORE of a load. LBJ won’t find a better organization. Bosh has become too passive in general to warrant what he wants elsewhere.
And KLove is a MUCH better fit in Houston than Bosh, infintely better. If I’m going to have someone to play off an always slashing Beard and a post presence, it would be the best 3 point shooter I could get. Add in HArden going cold sometimes and you’d want them to be someone who could get their’s on a whim to keep the team afloat. KLove is EXACTLY what Hou needs. He should want to play there too. Better situation than say LAL or NYK, can get his money, play with two stars who have both made the NBA finals, be in a major city, no state taxes, he looks like he likes the black girls too, more reason to hit up Houston.

Seem Riley is setting the Heat up with firepower in case the worse happens. Good for him. Granger can play SG while Wade takes games off during regular season.
Still think Lebron stays in Miami so Granger becomes an expensive bench player imo.
If I was Bosh tho? I would totally go to Houston, the Spurs resigned Tim Duncan, Diaw AND Mills so they’ll still be a better team than this current Miami team. Leonard and Green are getting better while Wade is only going to get worse.
Carmelo is bullshitting right now tho, this nigga don’t wanna win no rings if he’s thinking of going to the fucking Lakers or Knicks are his choices. Either join the Bulls or stop ever talking about Chips nigga.
SMH this free agency bullshit disgusts me can’t wait till this dust settles.
Shabazz dropped 17-7-4 and 2 steals yesterday. He adjusted after that bad first game, just like he said he would.
Finally, some excitement.
Granger to heat 2 years 4.2 mill…

orlando summer league suck tho. vegas is where it really matters.
i’ve watched way too much summer league over the last few years.
I actually stil lthink NY is still his best bet. I don’t like him in Chicago and I don’t trust Chicago. I’d feel different if Rose had been playing for the past two years, but two years off for an athlete? Who knows how he comes back, not just physically, but how will he adjust his game, its not like he had range before.
Also, you can already see the magic Phil is trying to work, he’ll have the roster undone and built the right way within a year. It wouldn’t shock me if somehow he unloads Barganni or Stoudemire. Not sure what he’ll do about JR Smith though.
- :bluu:
I don’t think even Phil Jackson can get rid of all those shitty contracts cuz, I love Phil but the nigga can do so much.
Chicago wins tons of games every year even without Derrick Rose because the roster is so stacked with talent and possibly the best defensive team in the league. The only thing Chicago misses is points and Carmelo can provide that while letting the rest of the team do what it’s best at: stopping the other team from scoring points.
I don’t get that logic, the bulls have a smart GM who always keeps the team competitive even without Rose, an Owner who’s willing to spend money on talent, and then possibility that Rose comes back, blows fools backs out and is still the best athlete at PG outside maybe Westbrook.
But James fucking Dolan and the Knicks are gonna help you win a ring because what? Because of the triangle? A formation that relies of it’s players constantly passing the ball…
we talking about Carmelo here. This nigga ain’t trying to pass to nobody lmao. I don’t buy it.
LeBron was at the University of Miami today, filming a commercial.
Between this and the fact he linked up with investors last week to open up 10 restaurants across South Florida… yeah, you can take that as you will.
Like I said before, he’s deeply invested in Miami. He ain’t going anywhere.
Neither is Bosh. He’s been the most vocal about staying. He said he wants to retire here. No idea where all this Houston bullshit has been coming from.
The problem is the longer these guys remain unsigned, the more fuckery the media can throw out there.
Still don’t know how to feel about this shit.
This mofo has been an alpha Heat hater for the past 4 years.
I don’t even know why people fall for that shit the Rockets can’t even offer 4yrs/96M they don’t have the space without their roster to Harden, Howard and Parsons cap hold the team isn’t even that deep as is.
Besides that why would the Rockets offer a full max to Bosh and not Melo who they originally coveted if they actually had it, people getting sucked into this bullshit without paying attention, ESPN is a key reason for this nonsense.
The most the Rockets can offer realistically right now even with a Lin trade is about 4yrs/70 unless they get a S&T which Miami won’t do. In order to get a full max they need to dump Motiejunas, Jones, Capella and Beverly.
Riley is a genius.
They used MLE for McBob and bi-annual exception for Granger. Heat still has $2.2 million trade exception to use on another budget player. They still have plenty cap for Big 3 and other key free agents after all is said and done.
dear james dolan,
LOOK AT WHAT RILEY JUST DID! REPLICATE THAT SHIT
sincerely,
pissed of NY fans who want a championship.
Bosh better take this deal. Too much money to pass up plus may possibly have a better team. Bosh, Dwight, and harden. Sounds dangerous.
Bosh isn’t close to worth this much so he should take advantage of this offer. Heat are washed up and done. Assuming heat don’t ha email the most money. Either way Bosh is Considering now.
Lebron would be good over there to even though he might go to cavs. They have promising future.
Star players job hunting is the norm these days. Lebron is the head highlight of this.
Here a new interesting article on Lebron James and free agency. Lebron and seven dwarfs.
