laszlo Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 DAAMMMMNNN... Miami better fricken win this year otherwise lebron and bosh will go down as the biggest losers of all time. Should be interesting. Could go either way. Depends on the pieces they put around those players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marko Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 I am glad the circus is over. It will be interesting to see how many shots each will get and how they`ll share the ball around. I think thats one too many superstars on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookinforwalleye Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Well thank the baby Jesus that that spectacle is over with, with a few exceptions todays professional athlete make me sick!!! If you think cry baby Vince gets rough treatment from the fans wait till Bosh comes to town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected] Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Bosh deserves all the booing he gets....could have worked on a sign and trade, like he said he would, and then just bails....it's his right, but c'mon. Another "star" screws over Toronto sports team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 I think those 3 have made a mockery of NBA over last week or two, with LeBron going to Larry King to announce that he will become a free agent and then having ESPN broadcast his decision for about an hour. Now Miami is going to have to sign some high school kids to play along those 3, i am surprised they had enough money to sign all 3 of them.

[email protected] Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 they had something like $56 million available for signings, they were gearing up for this offseason over the course of the last couple years, clearing out contracts, making room. Seems to have worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perchslayer666 Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Cleveland will fold and be relocated to Vancouver. Miami will be the biggest flop to happen in NBA history - 3 heads are better than 1 but what happens when they all want the ball at the same time?

timmeh Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Well I guess he decided that he couldn't lead a team to a championship so he decided to go join a stacked team. It's the same way baseball players join the yankees or red sox. If you can't beat them join'em. Seems like kinda of a cowardly thing to do, but that's just my opinion.

JohnF Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 That's a lot of ego to be on the floor at the same moment. We saw how much of a team player James was in the playoffs. I guess the strategy is to have 3 individual attacks happening concurrently to confuse and overwhelm the opposition. Should be interesting to see how expensive it is to keep #6 on the King's back. I might have to start watching bball again just to see how this strategy works. I'm also curious to see how the refs deal with Bosh's videographer following him around the floor during play.

anders Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 So happy this circus is over...however i do think it will work, it worked in Boston and worked in LA so i dont doubt that it will work with Miami. They way LA and Boston did it was with class and not making a mockery of the process and the game...the way Lebron and Bosh acted was sickening...i hope this doesnt work.

Headhunter Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Well I'm hoping that Bosh leaving will be the beginning of the demise of the Raptors which would mean that they will no longer be in a position to ruin the ice for the Leafs and therefore the Leafs will win the cup this year!

bassmasta Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Lebron's decision just screwed over Clevland and Miami. Now Miami can't afford anyone decent to play with these 3. They may have the best 3some in the league but possibly the worst depth/bench in the league. One of these guys will get Lamar Odom'd and get shifted to the 2nd unit, and will most likely be Bosh. Bosh won't get the time in the world to make his own shots playing with these 2 as he did in Toronto. He'll have to settle for 2nd unit and/or 2nd chance points ala offensive boards.

I keep wondering how long the common folk will continue to abide the celebrity multi-million dollar a year athletes. The ticket prices seem to balloon at about the same rate as the players' personal belief that they're far more than just walking tattoo billboards blessed with a big body and extraordinary talent. The thing is that the talent is for one thing only. They blunder thru life generally shooting holes in their heroic image, sometimes literally, and expect the hero worship to never end. At the end of the day does it really matter to the unwashed masses if that big round ball goes thru the hoop a bunch of times while they struggle to deal with mortgage payments of less than these guys spend for a night on the town & driving 15 year old junkers while their heroes drive custom Bentleys with 21" wheels individually worth more than the junker in it's entirety. One day the world will come to it's senses and say "enuf's enuf" to the misguided heroes. But that's just my opinion, and in all fairness it can also be said about hockey and every other sport we hold dear. We complain that corporate presidents and board chairmen of huge multinationals are overpaid making often just hundreds of thousands of dollars but occasionally they get to the salaries of the upper echelon of professional sports. At least they're a part of a productive enterprise whether we like 'em or not. It would be interesting to compare the job creation reality of GM and it's peripheral industries compared to the NBA. I may be surprised at how many jobs the NBA creates. I wouldn't be surprised if many of them are off-shore related to souvenirs and logowear etc. At least GM creates jobs in North America. End of rant. JF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 In the words of Hedo Turkaglu - "Ball" haha too funny. If this works and they are winning, "ball" shouldn't be an issue. If it doesn't work....gonna have some expensive whiners. Sadly I think it will work, just look at Boston. When they signed their "big 3" everyone pointed to the lack of depth and how it won't work - seems to have worked pretty well to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock34 Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 The NBA just got stupid. Think about the old days of the NBA. What makes victories so good is beating other teams with great players. Imagine if Bird, Magic and Jordan would have teamed up.....there would be no heated rivalries. Today is a sad day for basketball and a guarantee that the Raptors dont have even a small chance for at least 6+ years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today is a sad day for basketball and a guarantee that the Raptors dont have even a small chance for at least 6+ years Umm, Lakers : Magic, Kareem, Worthy Celtics : Bird, McHale, Parish Bulls : Jordan, Pippen, Rodman/Grant Pretty sure this new group isn't the first great trio that has gotten together. And yes, the raps are definately hosed for a few years. Edited July 9, 2010 by frenchriverkid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not LeBron, it's David Stern and the NBA that wanted this, marketing their biggest star. So? when Gretzky was traded and gave his "emotional" speech, did that turn you off of hockey ??

Lebron and Wade and Bosch went on a "Look At Me" tour. I hope Miami doesn't sign any other players because these 3 can obviously do it all themselves.
