I thought riley was all about showing "Loyalty". Dude didn't even want to pay Wade, gross

Who was claiming the same things about Chicago that they were about Miami? Straw man.Please name how many rings Chicago won before MJ was there, during his brief retirement, and after he left for good. Don't worry I'll wait.

Wtf? He offered a 34 year old shooting guard all the available cap space that the team had. 20 million plus per season. You want Riley to pay him 30+ and then the Heat will look like Lakers did with Kobe? Sometimes you just have be smart and not let emotions get the best of you.
The biggest issue here is Wade's agent. He cost Wade a lot of money, because he's also represents Bosh. When LBJ left, he got Bosh a max deal and Heat couldn't afford the same for Wade.
I'm just curious about what in the world the Bulls are doing. All they were saying after the season was "we gotta get younger and more athletic". I guess they forgot that part already.
This 34 year old hobbled Wade would still be the best player on the Heat today. He was the best player for the Heat during last year's playoffs. And guess what...WADE PLAYS. Bosh is set to make more than Wade as he sits for 2 years.
Yes, and they still offered him the whole cap space left. And they can't do anything about the Bosh situation today. That contract was done before the health issues.
And yes Wade does play. And in two years he might not. Guards age fast. Giving him a 3 year contract for 20+ million is retarded. For sentimental reasons it would've been the right move, but that's about it.
They have his bird right don't they? Why not go over the cap and retain him if he really only has 2-3 years left? The next 3-4 year belong to Cleveland and Golden State anyways

Signing B-tier players is something any team can do.Oh, so you want superstars? Talk to me when that becomes an actual ability instead of collusion among the stars themselves to get together. I'm talking FA in general and if the money is there, they'll be interested. They always are.
