So if LBJ and Bosh re-sign with Miami... and Lowry signs with Miami... and Melo signs with Chicago... and Love gets traded to GS... what are we left with? Rondo????
I would probably say we'd go for two of Gasol, Deng and Stephenson as our second tier free agents Ariza, Frye and Collison as our 3rd tier Then resign Parsons with bird rights.
This is probably what's more likely to happen, only GS may not be the ones that get Love, it just definitely won't be us; and rondo isn't coming here either, he's staying in Boston for now.
The fact that McHale will remain head coach already discourages free agents that are knowledgeable and know what kind of coach he really is. Get rid of McHale!!!!!
I am assuming that Lebron, Wade and Bosh would also want to a sit-down with Pat Riley to hear his plan before committing.
The only way James was gonna leave was if Wade and Bosh opted in. Also, had Bosh opted in he could have been traded. B y opting out he can resign for less and stay with the Heat. Same with Wade. No way he makes more money somewhere else so the only logical explanation is that James is returning to the Heat with an agreement that all 3 take a pay cut to sign some other quality players.
there is a 0% chance he leaves Miami. Its just not there. All the people talking about him leaving in the GARM are just deluding themselves. The dude is guaranteed a finals trip every year and despite the west being as competitive as it is, the spurs are the only team that can take them out. Dude would be an idiot to leave.
Jeff Zillgitt: As of this very moment, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh have not made decisions on their contract options, I've been told. Twitter @JeffZillgitt
These superstars have a responsibility beyond their level of play. If they only take $10 million then that wouldn't be fair to the likes of Parsons etc.
