Ya'll get ready. This is the calm before Pat Riley's storm.

[3LiftHeatCurse]

Riley is about to do it again.

- LeBron opts out
- Heat somehow acquire Shabbaz Napier during the draft
- LeBron, within seconds of the trade being reported, tweets his happiness
- Wade opts out
- Bosh opts out
- now Haslem opts out

As of today, Saturday June 28th 2014, the Miami Heat have exactly $3,598,678 in total team salary.

Yes, $3.5m. Only Chris Andersen and Norris Cole is currently under contract for Miami. The Heat have the most capspace in the entire NBA.


All the pieces are falling into place ya'll. This is the calm right before the storm that is about to hit the NBA again. The Heat are about to completely re-tool.

It feels like 2010 all over again. The question is - what does Riley have planned?

- Melo to Miami?

I, literally, hate the Miami Heat and everything they stand for. F*cking Phagg0ts

Tim Duncan did it and he's champ right now. You mad Kobe is selfish and ****ed your Lakers chances of winning anything for 3 years?

I'm happy my man aint no bitch that prostrate himself in order to have a better chance of "winning"

winning only counts if you can do it on your own terms.

This is hilarious, we all take paycuts so we can win another ship but this will just go down as another asterisk.

There is a difference between keeping the guys together and adding someone else.

Parker and Manu were drafted and developed by the Spurs. Melo, a top 5-10 player who's never had any relationship with the Heat, joining them would be pathetic.

Next it'll be Paul George. The Heat are literally destroying the NBA.

[J Shuttlesworth]

I've heard a ton of bitching, moaning, and crying here lately. That only means that Riley is cooking up a storm and the jimmies are rustled. Everyone knows the Godfather is about to rebuild the Miami Mafia

Ok so you won't complain then if they get Gortat or Lowry /some role players? That would make us a lot more deadly then Melo

Birdman opted out afew weeks back.

Some of you need to stop whining. You guys keep acting like Miami has an All-Star team as a roster right now. They have an old beaten down Wade, a inconsistent Bosh, and a terrible bench full of old tired players. They also still lack a good front court. This team really needs to retool to win another title.

I love how people say that the Heat would lose in the first round in the West and then complain about them trying to improve their roster
