TradeTheBeal! Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Ah, the ball-hog who somehow averaged 10.4 assists last year and averaged 11 in the playoffs.Career average is 7.5. Kinda low for someone who's spent his entire career playing next to Kevin Durant... Edited July 6, 2016 by TryTheBeal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonArtest15 Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 They already have Rose. Not sure how that works. Plus the Knicks love Porzingis. Minnesota makes more sense. Lavine and Rubio should do it. That too. Basically, it is/isn't like work until it is/isn't like work Totally forgot they traded for Rose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Totally forgot they traded for Rose. Yeah, not sayi g he's comparable at this point to Westbrook, but he at least thinks he's forming some elite squad with Melo. You bring in Russ and now you have a mess.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 He's have to want to go and sign longterm for Minneosta befor they trade. Rumors have been that he wanted to go to LA or NY eventually. I would be stunned if he isn't a laker by this time next year. Either they trade Deangelo, Randle and a bunch of picks for him or just sign him outright and then trade Deangelo for other pieces And that makes more sense for OKC than Levine and Rubio. I wouldn't trade Porzingus either so I dont think the Knicks have the firepower without him. They'd need him to pair with Russ longterm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozo the kKklown Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Knicks need to keep Porzingis. He is one of the futures of the NBA. A stretch 5. If you were doing one of those Simmons trade assets lists, Porzingis and Towns would be top 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 You know who should try to trade for Westbrook? The Houston Rockets. A Westbrook/Harden backcourt would be a joy to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 It would be funnier if blood started welling up and eventually pouring from Lebrons eyes after every shot. Or he somehow got free, drove the lane, and a bunch of whispers start and Curry dematerializes, running through him and taking the ball and his heart, and lobbing both to Durant, who dunks with both hands... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinInsite Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Wade probably wants to be rewarded for all the money he left on the table to build a better team. Miami doesn't want to kill their cap for an over the hill player. Always take the money kids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want him to go, but I also want him to get what he deserves. Very mixed feelings these last few days.This is the part of Pat Riley that I have never really liked. All those horrible losses to the Bulls and Knicks and Pistons and 3 is the one to single handedly get us something we spent a decade chasing, and you basically box him into a corner, faced with basketball exile and getting his money, or playing there for less than he's. Its smart business, but sometimes you have to do what's right, and put your pettiness aside. Wade probably wants to be rewarded for all the money he left on the table to build a better team. Miami doesn't want to kill their cap for an over the hill player. Over the hill? He was effective as ever last season, and played nearly every game.

SkinInsite Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Maybe not this year but two year from now that 20 mil cap number will be hard to swallow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Wade was awesome last year. I think Miami just needs to bite the bullet and pay him, if for no other reason than to cement that "Heat Family" thing they push so hard for the future. There are no game-changing free agents on the horizon for them. I mean, they sell this "We take care of our own" thing so hard. And that dies if Wade walks away angry.

Bozo the kKklown Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Miami needs to pay Wade what they owe him. Best player in that franchise's history and he left a lot of money on the table. Arison should override Riley here, even if Riley gets pissy about it. Its Riley's fault for chasing this pipe dream, and Wade is the reason why they won those rings.

Mr. Sinister Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Maybe not this year but two year from now that 20 mil cap number will be hard to swallow.So be it. He deserves it, and always deferred to whoever else came through here. He is the franchise, and Riles didn't win jack in Miami until he got here.This team isn't winning a title anytime soon. No one besides GS and maybe Cleveland is for the next 2 years at least. At this point, its about finally rewarding the man that climbed on top of what Riles Zo, and Mick built and made their vision become reality. Gotta do it. I don't want to see him finish his career anywhere else. Edited July 6, 2016 by Mr. Sinister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taco Bell Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 based on what I saw Westbrook actually did Durant a favor and enabled Durant to do the right thing and leave given that Westbrook showed he had no intention of staying himself.. I'm sure Durant and Westbrook are still on close terms even if the ride was frustrating and tough at certain junctures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Yay, now we get another round of narcissistic jersey burning and filming. Well I can maybe understand it now. Imagine going into a season thinking "finals here we come!" and then in a two weak span realizing that yours is a lottery team. A fall that sudden is sure to generate emotional outbursts.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 He will stay in Miami. And he should. Like Sinister said...kinda sad but they aren't winning a title the next two years. Take care of that guy, resolve the Bosh situation and then in a couple years you'll still have Whiteside with Winslow and the other guy coming into their own and likely metric tons of cap space once Wade and Bosh are clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
