You seriously believe that teams snatching up guys like Danny Granger and Channing Frye and yet haven't figured out what they want to do with LeBron after more than a week of free agency? Lebron is the top priority of every team that can get him. Everything else is on Lebron's Decsision. Granted, some GMs are dumb. But I doubt that they are THAT dumb.
BOOM @WojYahooNBA: LeBron James reached out to two vet free agents last week about joining him, IF he left Miami, sources tell Yahoo. Mike Miller was one.
I think Lebron is going to Cleveland now. If he doesn't, he's going to get destroyed in the media again. He can't be that stupid, or he possible could be lol.
Gotta feel bad for Wiggins though. First he had Irving and Waiters to stunt his development and now Lebron if he comes. Actually, I take that back. Lebron will help Wiggins' game and he can learn under him.

To be fair, the entire Heat roster outside of Lebron was terrible in the Spurs series. Some of that is certainly on Wade's aging, but some of the credit has to go to the Spurs. The odds of 12 players on a roster suddenly looking terrible is much smaller than the odds that the Spurs just made a most of Heat players and entire coaching staff look terrible. They didn't just beat the Heat, they took the Heat out to the woodshed in front of the entire world and made them look like they didn't even belong in the NBA. Win or lose, if the series was even remotely close, would the Heat even be facing this situation?
I think we underestimated how bad the east had become. I remember a friend asking me who would win, and all i could think was "I have no idea if Miami will compete for lose 4-0 because they haven't played anything better than a 10th seed in the west"

I know bashing Bosh is a pastime around here, but he's actually in India or something, right? For all you know, he was invited but was all like "Nah, Ima be in India, browsing on Trulia looking for those big Sugarland houses, lulz."
Lebron deleted 'heat forward' from his twitter and has 'La Familia' as his location. Kyrie Irving among other Cavaliers have 'La Familia' on their twitter descriptions. https://twitter.com/KingJames https://twitter.com/KyrieIrving
unless LeBron just has a crazy flare for the dramatic, this means he is done in Miami. You don't delete that if you are planning to come back.
