Bittersweet, yes. The last part of your statement is true though, we start winning and everything is forgotten. Sometimes money is the only reason a player goes to X team (best example is Shaq in LA, first interview after leaving Orlando he said the only reason was that they offered more money) but no one in LA complained about Shaq choosing them because of the money. Only thing that matters is/was the three peat.
Oh ok...gotcha. I wonder why he targeted me on twitter... Maybe cause I am a big doc rocket supporter lol
"I'm actually an Actor. I got this role because they said I had a good look. I watched Hoosiers, Blue Chips and Hoop Dreams to prep for the role. I just sit in time outs and look like I am coaching but LeBron really coaches. It's the best gig I could have gotten." - Spoelstra Rocket River
It really depends on how much Miami value their stuff. Basically their roster would look like this following the LeBron signing. LeBron 20 Irving 7 Varejao 10 Wiggins 5 Bennet 6 Thompson 5 Waiters 4 Bosh will start at around 20mil. Meaning the Cavs must trade Thompson, Bennet, Waiters to Miami. Cleveland/LeBron may not want this, especially if likes depth and youth of Waiters/Thompson. Not to mention Pat Riley has to like that exact package. If he believes he can get more from Houston, which will include draft picks if we S&T for him, then he probably would just reject that deal.
hes the guy who created the "happy times" thead with what sounded like insider info. who knows these days though
So basically they are trying to build the Cleveland Heat? I bet they have contacted Lewis and Anderson as well. Too bad Battier retired.
Here's how to get sources: Look at what the BBS is talking about and offer vague rumors that will fit what they are talking about and say "sources" somewhere in the post. Boom. Profit.
Cavs targeting Allen and Mike Miller. Now only if they took Shabazz Napier in the draft it would have been a done deal! :grin:

Well I can help you with this. Let me show you how it works: You wake up one day feeling like player X might go to team Y because of all the rumors you have been hearing. So you login to clutchfans and post this: "My sources told me it is 90% confirmed player X is going to team Y". And thats how you get sources.
Don't know for sure about that from the player's side. I just know a similar comment was made to me about Bosh not really caring for Dwight. It wasn't said in a sense that Bosh wouldn't come here because of Dwight. It was said in the sense that it was one negative consideration of Bosh wanting to come here. Personally..I would assume it's the attitude thing. You do remember just a few weeks ago Dwight talking about becoming more serious minded, don't you? He's hearing those things...coming from other players back to him. On the coach's side, the comment was made that Dwight frustrates some coaches because they feel that he is not fulfilling half of his basketball potential because he won't work on the right aspects of his game. All the stuff with Hakeem....smoke and mirrors. The accusation is Dwight won't practice that stuff and work on it diligently day after day. He'll go to the gym and work the weights to keep his body in condition but he won't work diligently on basketball stuff. Don't ask me to name the coaches that said that stuff. But suffice to say it's coaches that should know.
This dude seems like a fraud considering he made his "happy times" announce right after the Melo meetings. If ANYTHING good happens for the Rockets, he is going to claim he knew it all along, when clearly his "source" told him Melo was in the bag.
