I am a Bulls fan and nothing against Wade but honestly the Bulls front office came and said we are getting younger that's why we ditched Rose who GREW up in Chicago. Yet you go sign 2 players 30+ with knee problems #logic.

What was Wade getting offered from Miami? He must really be bitter if he chose to go to Chicago unless it is for other reasons unknown to us. It isn't like he left to chase a championship because Chicago is not a contender. Kind of sad that he spent so many years there and through away all of that loyalty, but with that being said Miami must have done something Wade did not like.

 

[McRevolation]

It was about $$$ imo. He was never ever the top paid player on that roster. through 13 years that's kind of insane and he was always taking pay cuts.

It was just the disrespect he got from Pat Riley. The heart and soul of the team should have been the top priority for Riley, but he was taken for granted. This is what happens when you think that there's no way someone will leave so you just throw shit offers. Bosh also played Miami for a max contract, that shouldn't have happened. I believe if Bosh didn't pull that move, we would have had enough money to secure Wade but fuck it there's no point in thinking about what-ifs now

I think with how weak the east is though that the Bulls do get back into the playoffs.

Yeah they will be in the playoffs as well. I think they will be better than the Bulls to be honest.

I don't think so man that Rondo-Wade-Butler combo is gonna be fun and I don't think the Knicks will be able to beat that.

Rose, Mello, Affalo, noah and port is a pretty good five to be honest and like I said I am a Bulls fan. More importantly I think more so it depends who stays healthy.

I'm not saying they're much better I'm just giving the Bulls the edge. I'm shocked I'm saying this but it should be a fun matchup to watch.

I'm a huge Heat fan and notoriously hate the Bulls, but gotdamn that combo is gonna be really appealing to watch. I might watch a Bulls game here and there now

 

[McRevolation]

Hamouze so do you hate Pat Riley as much as the rest of the Heat fan base?

Rondo can't shoot and doesn't look to shoot
Wade can't shoot a 3 ball to save his life
Jimmy Butler is a SG going to play SF who also can't shoot the 3 ball

The spacing in the starting unit is going to be bad. The knicks have a more aggressive and less condensed starting lineup. The knicks have a better bench so I think they win that battle.

15-Time NBA All-Star Tim Duncan Retires

Dang

 

[McRevolation]

He was probably thinking that with the new juggernauts in the west wasn't really a point to beat himself up after 19 seasons.

I wish Gasol knew this earlier so he could (hopefully) have chosen the Raptors instead lol :'(

Every year people say that big names are gonna go to the Lakers, and they just end up getting guys like Luol Deng. Not sure if Westbrook would be interested in that.

Wade is fire with the 3s what are you talking about. He always comes in clutch when you need him. He doesn't shoot 3s, but when he does he usually makes them.

What's all the hate on Deng for? He was pretty solid on the Heat and was a key player in some games.

Deng is a good player, but there is a bit of a difference between him and Russell Westbrook.
