Convinced Melo to stay? You're a joke bro. Understand that he grossly overpaid a guy who is past 30 and has never won a damn thing in the NBA!! And you want me to give Phil credit for that?! You crazy bro. Pat took over a franchise in Miami that had never had a season above .500, Ever!!! And turned it into a perennial playoff team overnight. Made the eastern conference finals 2 years later and has been to the finals 5 times!! Winning 3 of them. But don't worry Porzingas is on his way to a championship with the knicks. Not!!!
I hope Riley doesn't mess up this Wade situation. Pay the guy his due, Wade has sacrificed enough money for the organization. He gave up his prime, his blood, sweat, tears and even his knees for the Miami Heat... It's not that DWade is not productive anymore, look at his stats, he still is at least top ten in efficiency rating in the league. I think it's just right to take care of Wade for all that he has done for the team. 3 championships, all of them with "Dwyane Wade" written all over those 3 banners on the rafters, He is Mr. Miami Heat🔥 and the face of the franchise!!!✌️#paywade!!! Riley and Co. is hesitant to pay Wade because of the KD to Heat potential in 2016, but the KD sweepstakes in 2016 is "realistically" still a long shot and not yet sure if he would even consider signing for the Heat! Strong possibility KD goes to the Wizards and then what happens to the Heat after that? If they don't give Wade his money, wade leaves then Riley strikes out of the KD sweepstakes then that just sucks big time man! So, the best thing to do is #PayWade!!!
Hopefully they trade Chalmers and Birdman that can make it much easier to pay wade. But that might be there toughest challenge yet. Let's face it no team wants those two.
All i remember is vangundy had that team in first place on the way to winning a championship. Than without notice here comes pat coaching. Pat use to be my favorite and at our all american team dinner he spoke and gave me his phone number if i ever needed something i am glad i never called him.
only two ways heat can win in next 10 years: 1st way-bosh and wade leave, heat keep winslow, whiteside, johnson, ennis and the rest of the young players, they wait a couple of years for stars to realize they got a chance at a ring and they sign one and make the young guys who now developed play around that star 2nd- keep wade and bosh, get rid of youngsters, sign experienced players that got some skill left, sign kd next year
The stupidity of the Knicks allowed this to happen. This must have been a late going away gift. When he left the Knicks, they pretty much went downhill since.
Eric Matterson They can have winslow call me when you realize he can't play defense. I can see him now trying to play lebron or melo lmao good luck with that.
Phil Jackson has 13 rings in total, (11 as a Head Coach, 2 as a player). Pat Riley has 9 rings in total, (5 as a Head Coach, 1 as an assistant coach, 2 as an Executive, 1 as a player)
It's time for Wade to leave. I never thought I would say it because I really can't imagine Wade anywhere else but these answers were way to lack luster for a player who has done as much for this franchise as Wade. If there was no Wade then most of the transactions Riley has made would've never happened. Majority of the big names have come to Miami stating that their interest was to play with Wade, not for Riley. In fact most of the players loathe Riley. I think Wade needs to leave and let them figure out how truly difficult it is to find a transcendent talent and personality. I say force the Heat into a sign and trade with the clippers or the grizzlies, maybe even the blazers. But definitely not the Knicks or the Cavs and Bulls.
Jacob Ong I agree, which is why I really want them to show more respect for what he has done for the franchise. The last thing I want is for him to leave. But I respect him too much to watch him be maligned every year by the franchise he has given so much. If I were being selfish then I would desire Wade staying no matter what and watching him play alongside likely the most well-rounded starting five of his career. At this point, he only has to be a second half player for this team anyway. Miami would easily be in the ECF with an opportunity to play in the Finals. Miami's backcourt defense is really my only concern. And I think Justise Winslow's first year will be more effective than many suspect because I see him as a Khawi Leonard type of player anyhow, a more athletic Luol Dang. Miami is eight deep and only in need of 3 point shooting, running neck to neck with Cleveland. If they give him 50-60 mil over 4 years with a team option after year three, then I think they are treating him appropriately. They can bloat the contract in the beginning and lower it toward the end and add the bonuses for playoffs and finals appearances.
Christopher Davis i'm so happy wade got a 20mil for one year. Next summer he can cash in on the higher cap. He sacrificed too much for the heat already. If winslow can contribute from the start i see a 10 deep rotation with various combination. Wade can be limited to 24min per game and be rested on back to back. Then come playoffs he can remain fresh. I am optimistic on the 3 point shooting. Dragic, deng, bosh and to some extent mcroberts are all reliable 3 point shooters. If the whole roster stays healthy i consider the heat as a contender this season. I can't wait to see them in action
Christopher Davis i do think they need to get at least 1 more back court player though. Tyler Johnson's game is not mature enough. Zoran Dragic is worse.
This guy is a beast!!! Phil Jackson could only dream of being half the GM that Riley is. Not even close baby. The Godfather indeed!!
Preach
Rene Macias don't you dare put phil name at same breathe as pat riley as red said it himself pat creates phil was given.
Rene Macias We'll see if Phil can give the Knicks The Gold Trophy. Pat came close. But was stopped by Phil and the Bulls.
I have more rings tho

All i remember is vangundy had that team in first place on the way to winning a championship. Than without notice here comes pat coaching. Pat use to be my favorite and at our all american team dinner he spoke and gave me his phone number if i ever needed something i am glad i never called him.

magnum3570916 Winslow Is SF
Cristobal Angeles he will play of the bench on wades position
+magnum3570916 No he will not.

Eric Matterson They can have winslow call me when you realize he can't play defense. I can see him now trying to play lebron or melo lmao good luck with that.
Jon Doe lmao james harden doesn't play defense either...still the best sg in the league...defense doesn't mean shit in the nba.
John cage If you do not play defense or rebound you do not win. So defense does mean something.
Jon Doe lmao do you watch the nba??
John cage I have been watching the nba since you were a itch in your daddy's pants my son lol.
Hmmmmm Phil has 11 rings go figure
Alonzo E Johnson As a coach. Pat has 3 rings as a GM.
Pat has 3 as a GM. Phil drafted Porzingis.
Ok Riley has seven.....I 'll take the guy with eleven....
Phil Jackson has 13 rings in total, (11 as a Head Coach, 2 as a player). Pat Riley has 9 rings in total, (5 as a Head Coach, 1 as an assistant coach, 2 as an Executive, 1 as a player)
nomibe2911 At this point in their career, Pat Has proven to be the better GM.

Jacob Ong Tyler Johnson is working hard in the offseason. I know he has a offseason workout video on youtube
