derozan cut by kings
hachimura to clips.no moving expense needed for the hachimuras.
NBA player Norman Powell has an estimated net worth of approximately $45 million. This wealth has been primarily accumulated through his lucrative basketball contracts (which have earned him over $123 million to date) how much fn $$ do u need to live jeez norm had a chance for jewelry ..but instead of coming to greeks and hfls warm weathered jamaican loaded beaches he chose a team that i dont think will even be a playin team.i mean like jim mora would say u play the game to win .just a sign of the times how these guys rock.for me that ring means more than $$ especially when u got 45mil already.good riddance norm enjoy your $$ while i get my 5th ring and try to pay my mortgage this month
I wouldn’t ask Powell to give up part of his salary to get Giannis and Bam a ring unless I see them both giving up a chunk of their lucrative contracts like Brunson did.
It’s not Powell’s fault Riley didn’t have any money left to reward him for an all-star year. You expect him to sacrifice while the Arisons, Riley, Spo, Bam and Giannis get the gold mine and he gets the shaft? How stupid do you think he is? FTS!
the 2g is the missing piece between jewelry and no jewelry.i believe with powell we would be the favs for #5.hes got to take that into consideration i would think.hfl not happy with norm gotta be honest im hfl not nfl.lgh.jamaicans beaches warm weather jewelry aint enough for norm then good riddance.ill get me a derozan then whos better anyway
Your anger is misdirected. Powell deserves every dollar he gets. He’s 33. How many more multiple year contracts do you think he’s going to get. I don’t see Arisons, Riley, Spo, Bam or Giannis giving up jack s**t! Hell, they are all raking it in big time.
im not angry lets start there.im a heat lifer.i want the best for the heat .we are one good 2g away from jewelry correct?norm is a good 2 g.put 2 g and 2 g together and i wish norm would have given us a discount for my 4th ring.dam i gotta sell one of these champ rings
Norm’s job is not to make hfl happy. That’s hfl’s. With better planning, there would have been enough money available to pay Powell. Did Riley just ASSume he was going to take peanuts? If so, that’s his problem.
Wiggins could have given Miami a $10m+ discount this year ($20M) and spread the balance ($44M) out over the next 2 years. Why aren’t you ragging on him?
You can’t be serious….
are u a heat fan or norm powell fan?we’re a good 2g away from jewelry.derozan would fit the bill for my 5th ring anything less might have to wait for #5.a combo of beal middleton might give me #5.
When did Heat get the 4th ring? I must have missed that one.
harden fking up ring dwade went crazy on dallas ring.didnt big 3 get 2?
Big 3 got 2 and Shaq got 1. Where did the 4th one come from?
Yup, we’re back to the silly good riddance comment. For a while, Jupiter was aligned with Mars and it was the dawning of the age of Aquarius. ☮️
age of aquarius let the sunshine in rc.great times those 60s 70s what has happened
That alignment is scheduled to appear again in the year 2525, if man is still alive.
hair hair 2525 how many heat rings i will have by 2525 gonna need lots heat hands for those babies
Sounds like the Nuggets are opened to trading Payton Watson in a sign and trade.
Maybe they’re interested in Andrew Wiggins?
Sure they are. He’s expected to get a new $25M-$30M+ contract for 3-4 years and his stats aren’t as good as Andrew’s.
Wiggins has agreed to a 3 year $64M contract that pays him $30.2M in year one and $17M in years 2 and 3.
Sounds like a perfect trade. Nuggets get a vet with Championship experience to ply with Jokic, and save ten million bucks next season. The Heat got younger and more atheletic, and add a long armed defender to play SF next to Bam and Giannis
?
look at josh harts stats ,stats can be misleading at times.impact on winning most important stat.wigg impact on winning not very high for 30 mil.hes a soft player like my players with a rougher edge than thin andrew
So you think Watson is another Josh Hart?
not sure i do think the gardner could be
Sounds more like a lateral move, at best.
wiggins is an ok player nothing special at 30 mil bit overpaid.like my forwards little more rugged.i think they should trade wigg get more impactful rugged player or two.hes never crashing the boards getting extra josh hart extra shots.we can get two good ones with that 30 mil
In that case, Riley should have had a plan in place to trade him if he opted in. He didn’t. B***h at him.
g/l to your blazers theyre gonna be good.lots of talent
they added some talent with Ja, but the roster construction makes no sense. They’re either going to make one more trade, or they’re going to be a play-in team again
israeli guy klingen the giant williams dame jrue ja scoot off top of my head get right coach thats as much talent as has been there since bill walton days?
I hope Riley is staying on top of this. The sooner he gets a yes or no answer from Lebron’s agent, the faster Miami can get on with bringing in the best players available who meet the team’s needs. Right now, I get the strong feeling that Miami and a few other NBA teams are being played. LeBron’s decision should be a no brainer…either Cleveland or Miami. I wonder if the thought of living in cold weather excites him after living in L.A. for 8 years.
Following are excerpts of an article I just read.
Miami Heat Get Bad News After New LeBron James Photo Emerges(from Heavy on Heat)
Just days after Rich Paul identified Cavaliers assistant general manager Brandon Weems as one of Cleveland’s greatest recruiting advantages, James was photographed alongside his longtime friend and former St. Vincent-St. Mary teammate during a gathering in Akron.
Rich Paul Identified Weems as Cleveland’s ‘Big X Factor’The photo surfaced only days after Paul discussed James’ free agency on theGame over podcast with Max Kellerman. While breaking down Cleveland’s recruiting pitch, Paul highlighted the Cavaliers’ championship-caliber roster before singling out one executive.
“Dan and Grant, which is the Gilberts. Plus Koby (Altman), he was there when LeBron won there,” Paul said. “Big, big, big X factor, let me talk to you about Brandon Weems.” Paul then explained why Weems could be uniquely influential. “Brandon Weems is basically LeBron’s brother,” Paul said. “He worked his own way up. Nobody gave him anything. He’s earned to be in the front office of the Cavs. But that is a big feather in the cap for Cleveland because of Brandon Weems.”
One of the betting sites has the following odds of where LeBron decides to play:
Going back to Cleveland seems to be the best way to go.
That’s what it looks like. If stretch and waive players become available while LeBron is jacking people around, Riley should jump on any good opportunity that comes his way.
anyway d wade comes out of retirement otherwise hes not coming here.the only reason he came here is cause of wade.wade off the ct almost as good as the bball player.he is quite a businessman announcer father type a great role model
Here we go yet again with the ‘only’ reason he came here was Wade. Obviously not true.
main reason.if wade is not here does goat come
he has to teach donovan how to win.playoff mitch doesnt know wtf to do.he hibernates alot
He’s one of those players who fills up the stat sheet during the regular season but folds in the playoffs when he’s really needed. He sells tickets but doesn’t produce jack s**t in the playoffs. All hat…no cattle.
Pretty ragged. Goldin not impressive. Cameron Carr looks like a potential starter. Not bad for #24 pick. Great year for the draft!
Carr has looked very good to start off. Conwell is definitely not afraid to keep firing away.
havent seen much of the games.vlad is one big dude whos fairly mobile.hes not good for 10-15 minutes backup center?
Low bbiq. Dude had 9 fouls but they missed the 10th one ar end of game. Yurtseven was much better.
Heat need to hold one spot open for backup big, even if it is a one way defensive rebounding type who doesn’t score much.
9 fouls wtf.portis backup 5 for now looks like.goldin has no shot u think sm?
6 fouls your out guess its different in summer league.? no first rnd pick.cant wait to get few more vets.no rooks gonna get pt u think sm?
Heat won’t be getting many picks/rookies for a few years, except for undrafted players. No young bloods with talent will be coming to the rescue. Riley will need to get very creative if LeBron decides to go elsewhere.
No. Bryant is free agent. He is better as a very last resort.
They have a tall Lithuanian who I think is going to get more playing time. Goldin doesn’t look like NBA material from what he has shown so far
I want to see Tre Donaldson get the green light to score more so I can see his full potential because he made the most of the limited touches he had. I can already see the craftiness that the scouts have been talking about.
The one thing I didn’t like was what happened in the final seconds of the first overtime. He poked the ball loose, but instead of hustling after the loose ball or trying to make another play, he just stood there and watched. I can probably chalk it up to a lack of experience.
Yup. There are a few young players on the Summer team that show promise. They are rather raw and can benefit from a year at Sioux Falls. It will be interesting to keep tabs on their progress in G League.
The Heat seem to enjoy a close game.
Too many turnovers and too sloppy. Some trying too hard to impress. Guards look better than front court players.
