The Cavs let JR Smith walk and Lebron takes a decent paycut to bring his bestie in
Aren't they over the cap whether Lebron takes a paycut or not?

HoopsHype(not sure how accurate) has them at $76mil now, meaning they have $18mil to work with not even counting Lebron's deal.

Pretty sure they'd have to renounce Lebron and JR to use that cap space, which they're not doing. So they'd be offering Wade the exception.

Or he signs with Milwaukee or Denver and is traded to the Cavs 2 months into the season, Lebatard mentioned that as a possibility.

Do Cavs fans actually want this? He didnt exactly play that well with Lebron. Yeah they got 2 rings but that was because Lebron beasted on some fools.

It's not an ideal fit but Wade over Shumpert in their small ball lineup is a huge upgrade.

Cavs just followed DWade and Gabrielle Union on Twitter and IG. Wade and his wife followed back and followed JR Smith

Wade and Bron extortion play just to get a few more dollars out of the Heat.

Reports are saying Heat aren't offering more than 2 years and they can't give him more money than what they already offered because of the Whiteside deal.

Where are all the posters with the proclaimed inside scoop?

Whiteside was reportedly willing to leave some wiggle room for KD, but not Wade?

I'm sure that doesn't make things any better.

I still think he'll ultimately end up with Miami.

Because Miami needs to develop and build around younger players to have any sort of long term contender.

The quote left a bit of a gray area lol.


That being said, it's obviously childish/nitpicky how DWade's handling it again. But at the end of the day, I get why he feels he deserves the money, and I also get Riley's side as well, wanting to keep options open for next season's free agency as well.

It's a tough situation.

yeah, if i've learned anything about Lebron this year compared to last and his time in Miami compared to his first run in Cleveland is that he doesn't need a supporting cast of great players to win NBA titles....
