Pat Riley scared as frick that Phil Jackson is going to best him again.

Pat Riley = Beta compared to the GOAT Jackson.

Really don't think Lebron leaves Miami, but if he does I really hope he goes back to Cleveland.

Phil is begging for his best player not to leave him just like Riley, except Phil's player doesn't win titles.

His whiny press conference after the Heat lost the championship made it obvious that he's not in a position of power here
You got it all figured out.

LeBron holds all the cards and everyone knows it.
Thats just not true. The only way that's true is if Riley expertise, experience, team management skills, negotiating skills, powers of persuasion, charisma, and interpersonal skills all mean absolutely nothing to LeBron and have absolutely no effect on him.

And honestly LeBron is not like that. He does care about those things and he is impressionable at least to a degree. And he's been dazzled by Pat before

Stephen A just said on SportsCenter that if Bosh goes to Houston, Melo will go to Miami


fricking Stephen A. Melo is either going to be a Knick or Laker next year. No other team is a factor.

I think lebron has roster expectations that Riley may not be able to deliver. If it falls apart and he doesn't get what he wants he doesn't have to settle

So the Heat could fall into a horrible tailspin and in a couple seasons with the Cavs with possibly Lebron could get a Heat lottery pick which they acquired when Lebron went to Miami originally.

It couldn't get any funnier than that.


Yeah, the Heat pick is top 10 protected in 2015 and 2016, but unprotected in 2017. If Lebron goes to the Cavs they would most likely have a lottery pick from the Heat in 2017. Would be pretty amusing.

I'm wondering how much of this is being put out there as a feeler by LeBron's people. They want to see what the reaction is.

eta: Brevin Knight is on NBA Gametime right now

Yannis Koutroupis ?@YannisNBA 40s Curious as to why HEAT, 'Melo haven't at least met/talked at this point if there's real mutual interest there. He's supposed to choose tomm.

Probasketballdraft @Probballdraft Follow I expect LeBron to inform Riley he will not re-sign with Miami and thank him in person.

Who in the world is this?

Interesting that LeBron & agent meeting with Pat Riley. Said at start of free agency he didn't need to have a sit-down with Heat.

I find it weird that none of the Miami guys have had a face to face with any teams yet.
