    My deepest and sincere apologies. My report on Lowry and a S&T between the Raptors-Heat is wrong. I should've known better. I could not be more embarrassed. I can't explain why someone would go the lengths "my source" did to set me up, but that's irrelevant. I allowed my zeal to break a story take too much for granted. I'd like to think I'm better than that.

    The Idea of Bosh going BACK to Toronto was enough to make me pause.
    This would mean Bosh gets a MAX Contract but he will never win another championship but will facilitate Miami winning more championships

    Basically Bosh would be taking one for the team . . and that team being Miami

    I just could not imagine him being that stupid and under LeBron/Wade's Thumb

    Nope.

    And this is the reason.

    Am I missing something here?

    The projected tax threshold is $77M.

    The combined capholds of their big 3 is $59,648,400.

    The Heat can absolutely do a S&T for Lowry?

    Provided Toronto are willing to take on expiring contracts with Shabazz Napier as the centerpiece. Unfortunately for the Heat, Haslem opted out. This makes it harder now. I guess Haslem doesn't want to live in Toronto for a season.

    Because the east is so bad. Indiana struggled and were terrible at times and still were the #1 seed

    This probably was a legitimate trade, or at least parts of it were from Miami's perspective.

    There is always some truth to rumors and there have been rumors of Kyle Lowry going to Miami for a while.

    Ric Bucher probably released what was told to him before he was supposed to publish it, and then had to recant his statement for Miami to avoid tampering charges since Toronto wants to resign Kyle.

    If the Rockets end up signing Kyle, and I hope they do, we can all thank Ric Bucher for his lack of judgement and put in a wrench in the Kyle Lowry to Miami trade.

    Imagine Bosh opting in with heat because he heard he is going back to Toronto.

    Some weird **** coming out of Toronto. How could they be already "locking up" Lowry when they can't even negotiate with him yet?? No on is "locked up" until the 10th anyway.

    wow...that sounds enough to lock him up. Good for him. He deserves it.
