Actually if you want to bring this stupid business analogy into it, it would the same as insider trading, price fixing, or corporate collusion.


Apparently you don't know the meaning of any of those terms.

You make it sound like the Heat invented the concept in 2010. How is a couple of free agents deciding they want to play in Miami different than a superstar forcing a trade to LA or Chicago because he wouldn't resign with his small market team?


Name me another time in NBA history where 3 of the 5 top players in the NBA (yes Bosh was that good there according to the almighty PER ABOOGA BOOGA BOOGA!!!) structured there contracts years in advance to join forces in their primes...

I don't expect a response.

This is professional sports these days. Go out and spend money and buy a winner. I just hate them cause they seem arrogant, but I guess since I am not a heat fan and am a celtic fan, that is why. I am sure those that hate the celtics said the same when we got Allen, Garnett and team them up with the rest of the guys on the team.

Same for the Yankees, Red Sox, etc. etc.

Apparently you don't understand what The BJ and friends really did.

In an economy where entertainment is the currency, they basically took over the means of production like an NBA Animal Farm.

I always thought the goal was to win, who know apparently that was untrue all along.

I guess Lebron should bring his talents to a JV league before he leaves his prime then. Gotta get those W's regardless of the competition and challenge factors.

You mean unfounded allegations that they conspired to join forces years ago and screwed their owners from other teams. That one? The one with zero evident supporting it?

How is this any different than the Lakers going hard after Howard this offseason?

For most logical and rational people, it's understood at the highest level of play, which is the NBA.

My bad, forgot it had to be spelled out for the irrational folk.

When quarterbacks take pay cuts to keep or sign team mates, are they part of the problem?

If you know what happened then you should have no problem posting solid evidence to support your claim.

Oh I see: the conveniently placed goal post of competition....right where Lebron wanted it...very EASY in the NBA.

Go to dictionary.com and look up the word "principle" and use it in a few sentences, come back and post in this thread again when you're done.

It was so easy, that you kept telling everyone they would never win a title and kept telling us how they would lose after every game they lost.

Hey, remember that 25% winning thread you started, how's that working out for you?
