We have been open with Lebron about his spot on the trade block. If we do not find a suitable trade for him, we expect that he will be with the team for more years in the future.false9 wrote:Does Lebron James have a future with the Heat beyond this season?
Marcus is going to be our secondary scorer. He will be a starter on this team unless injuries or trades change his role.Xist2Inspire wrote:What are you hoping to see from Marcus Thornton this season?
For us it is easy, can we field a team that can win a championship? We felt that for the past few seasons, we had that team. We even unloaded Al Jefferson a few years ago and retooled around Lebron James for a second attempt for a run. Right now, the only thing that is stopping us from a full reset is that we don't have our first round pick this season.LoCo89 wrote: Fri Aug 25, 2017 12:37 pm As you seem to be reaching the precipice of this era of the Miami Heat, one where you masterfully avoided tax penalties and still put out a good team, can you talk a bit about The idea of deciding when to move on? Especially since it seems you will be competing instead of starting that process early
In theory, we want to win the division. In reality, 2nd place is where we should fall. However, the Magic have built and developed a team that can compete. Since they have my pick, I am really gunning to be better than them, but if I end up in 3rd, my goal is still making the playoffs.TheSyndicate wrote: Fri Aug 25, 2017 1:52 pm While 2nd place in the division behind the Hawks has to be the general consensus, would coming in 3rd be a total disppointment?
The first time I had to pay a large tax, I lucked out and won the royal rumble bet and got an influx of points. Since then, I've never really trained people too much or insured people too often. I was worried about this past season, but since I won the division and had a large number of games. The rich get richer as they say.NOLa. wrote: Fri Aug 25, 2017 3:06 pm It feels like every season for half a decade this would be the end of the Heats run with the tax man coming, but you kept the team going with a good core and have been a strong presence in the playoffs. How did you keep this going? Did you think this run would last as long as it has?
