Larry Drew II back with Heat summer roster. Justin Hamilton on roster, but may have to be cut/re-signed to maximize cap space.

The more this drags on the more I think Lebron will leave, but again, he is a diva and is an attention whore so he is probably prolonging this for that reason - Still think Wade and Bosh return without much drama despite reports.

I find it odd that if he wants to leave, that he isnt going to any meetings. Hes waiting for every team just to move on. Im not liking this tho. Lebron wants us to upgrade the roster, but then he and bosh want to kill us with their contracts. Makes no sense.

At this point I could careless if he leaves to be honest with you.

No telling what is going on. The Riley press conference after the end of the year made me think Lebron was having second thoughts. No telling what happens..

 

[Andresrenee]

Lowry no longer available. I never thought he was our first choice. To me, that is Ariza and Deng. Gortat's early signing may help. Caron Butler could be could along with some veterans.

Lebron is going to screw us so bad. He's going to make a decision so late in the game when all the top free agents will be gone already

I agree with you once again. He's done alot for this franchise, yet he's about to send us being stuck as an average team.

Everyone relax...without him, we do nothing the last 3 years. Look, I think Wade and Bosh sign regardless. If Lebron goes elsewhere, it will likely be in a sign and trade where we get some assets back. Let's see what happens. We are still fine. We were not going to pay 48 million for Lowry or 50 million for Gortat. That is not what we need. We need many more pieces. Many options still out there.

Lebrons going to leave. I think he is going to do exactly what everyone thought and jump ship to chase another ring.

Why would anyone need to do a sign & trade for Lebron? That is wishful thinking. He is a FA & they are more than a few teams that have cap space to sign him without have to move assets.

It concerns me that you don't hear a damn thing about any free agents and the heat.

That we are not even mentioned in the Pau Gasol conversation when he should be THE primary target at this point is scary.

We are listed among the teams. Before okc came out of the blue, the heat & spurs were listed as 2 of his 3 possible destination. But no way can we get him if he's demanding 10-12 million yearly

If he wants a max deal with more years, then any team that wants him will do that..
