2013-2014 NBA Finals - Spurs SMASH Heat 4-1 - San Antonio Spurs NBA Champions [RIP Dwyane Wade]

[tr1ll]

​

All the "Lebron is gonna leave" talk is purely emotional.

Then again, the people saying that is probably in the same generation as Lebron.

Eh.

I dont think he would leave but the chance of him leaving is far from being "purely" emotional

I could see how one could come to that conclusion, but this ain't 5 years ago and this ain't Cleveland.

You're right..this isnt 5 years ago and it isnt Cleveland.

But Im not sure what thats supposed to mean with his situation now and the position he will want to put himself going forward for his own sake.

1. It's not a good look for his so-called brand to just skip out whenever something goes wrong. That's not what great players do.

2. It's ******* Miami, Florida. If that's not a selling point to get people to come, I don't know what else is.

The only way I see him leaving is if someone just throw a stupid number at him. Which isn't impossible at all.

No reason for Lebron to leave Miami. Going somewhere else is just pointless. Hopefully they'll take a little less money to build a better team, but who knows. But they have still better pieces than a lot of teams out there and can definitely build around that to be in the finals again next year.

anyone know who convinced bosh to just be a 3pt specialist this post season? he wasn't that bad in the post when he played for toronto, but ever since he joined miami all he does is jump shots.

so much after-the-fact analysis going on in here lol...

The only benefit of the doubt I'll give Lebron is that this Spurs team is arguably better than any team Jordan or Kobe faced in the Finals. Granted their roads to the Finals were alot harder.

it's very rare that you see someone skip out on their last big payday, ESP one who's knees are made of silly putty

Wow Kevin Durant...... I need an explanation for that comment.

What did he say?

Discrediting Kiwi. Saying he is only good because of the Spurs system

 

[shoeking2101]

Heat have no talent outside of Bosh and Bron.

i fail to see what some of you claim to see in this team next year. they arent winning against the west next season even if they make the finals.

Bron should know that, Spurs could reach finals again if not you got Clippers and OKC.

GOOD LUCK!

Here's the thing. Everything you said is right.

But again...where is he going to go where that team can not only afford him, but become serious title contenders with him? You can't win it all every year, but you can be a serious contender and play for a championship more often than not. If Bosh and Bron are with Miami, they'll still get to the finals out of the east. Now are they better than the Clips, Thunder, or Spurs? You would think not, but if Bron and Bosh stay put they'll probably be in the finals again, which is really all you can ask for in the grand scheme of things.

The lebron slander should be very minimal and I'm glad to see that it somewhat is. Though coming into the finals I wanted to see the prematurely coronated "king" fall flat on his face. Him leaving his heart and soul on the floor time and time again while bum *** Wade, begging for change chalmers and other bums just stand on the wing and watch lebron over exert himself into a tarnished legacy was just sad

Here what it is: Lebron should and needs to stay. Wade HAS to go. There is no way around it. Lebron needs a viable second option that can create shots and score since lebron is so adept at deferring the ball (Melo coming is now making sense right?) but Wade needs to go! Save face and retire, become some type of player consultant to stay on the payroll. You and Juwan Howard can become really best buds but wade should be absolutely disgusted at himself for his display this season. Especially after sitting out 20 something odd games and the little rumblings of lebron being unhappy with having to carry the load all season. That's not what he signed up for. Keep bosh, get Oden in the rotation, get chalmers the **** outta there and get a real PG and clean your hands of Wade because he is fresh out the cleaners washed.

I'm glad the Heat lost and to an incredible spurs team but I can't take pride in Lebron finally showing heart and his "bask in the glory" teammates couldn't even give 50% of what he brought to the table. Disgusting.

That's thing about lebron...
Why do you have to go to a contender
You make your team a contender

 

[a-friend]

Staying in Mia doesn't mean jack unless someone big comes to help.

Shane is done, no more mike miller 3's, oden was a bust, Beasley was a bust.

Google James Ennis

y'all ( & media types) have been comparing KL to PG for the last 3 games, what's the big deal about what KD said

Y'all have turned on KD?

KD is a *****

 

[tr1ll]

Y'all do realize Wade dropped 20+ 4 straight games THIS playoffs. He just ran out of gas in the finals. His minutes should've been managed better and the need a second string 2 guard that's under 30.

Y'all talk like Wade is Shaq on the Celtics.

 

[shoeking2101]

That's thing about lebron...
Why do you have to go to a contender
You make your team a contender

Why do you have to go to a contender?

Umm...how about the fact that he's a 2 time champ, 2 time finals MVP and is 29 going on 30. Why does he have to waste his prime "making a team" a contender. He already did that with the cavs.

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Great analysis, I've always loved your similar work on Grantland

He shouldn't be running out of gas when he sat out a quarter of the year.  Fool should have the freshest legs out there.

I hear ya fam

His "brand" was "tarnished" the first go round, why should he care now? He's already a "villain", his buddy Windhorst wrote an article last week about how as far as legacies go, he will never be beloved..ppl will never let that first move go, how much does another move really hurt?

and I believe Riley will do whatever it takes to build a better team for Bron and no doubt people would love to come to South Beach, but if Wade and Bosh choose to opt in, it'll be hard to add shiny new pieces when your core is old or getting old and taking up your cap space.

I dont think he leaves but him taking a legit look of heading somewhere else wouldnt surprise me
