Rondo vows not to play for the Heat. but here is the thing. we never wanted him and never will. He may be a good basketball player for himself stats wise, but as a teammate and person off-court not somebody i want on my team

Rondo? Where is this coming from?

Thanks to Mike Miller and his contributions. If he wasn't hurt he would've been a tougher release. But last year's Game 5 in the series clinching finals and his offensive rebound to Lebron in Game 6 were memorable.

Farmar back with the Lakers and Paul George said it would be tough saying No to Kobe

LeRondo has a nice ring to it.


I also think the LeHeat should sign LeMetta LeWorld LePeace...!

Any word on whether Mo Williams or Miami will actually pursue each other seriously?

Mo said recently he would like to play for a contending team & would love to play under James again as he did in Cleveland. He's already said he's willing to take a pay cut to get on a contending team & James is supposedly still close to Mo.

I dunno, it could be possible, Chalmers and Cole are still under contract. PG spot is not a problem. Beefing up the front line is the team priority.

I'm still not sure if cutting Miller was to open space for another player since he was the 4th highest paid and replace him with someone else healthier. Or was it just to lower the tax bill next year. Mo Williams to me doesn't make sense you got Chalmers and Cole and then Lebron and sometimes Wade who run the floor. Unless of course Chalmers or Cole get dealt. But since Chalmers signed an option for the year then why trade his expring contract for next year when you gotta resign the Big 3?

Metta is a Knick. BTW you need a nickname for the Nets since they're starting 5 is loaded after trading for KGB and Pierce.

It's tomorrow and sponsored by Apple. But Miami only held a local pep rally.

Miami/LAL for Christmas. Someone shoot me now.

The NBA knows the Lakers are the most popular franchise, yet they still somehow justified cutting their legs off with the Cp3 veto because of small market complaints. And then they turned around and gave him to the Clippers.

The Heat earned that christmas spot...titles, popular players, etc. Good for them. Lakers are going to get their asses kicked.

Edit: That's probably what people want to see.

WTF. They lose Dwight and to a lesser degree of relevance Metta. Why is this worth a marquee matchup? Kobe might not even be playing. I wonder if this is Silver's call.

All about ratings and money. Lakers are the most popular NBA team and Kobe and Lebron are the most popular players.

I think Lamar is in talks with the Lakers. If he part ways from that damn Kardashian family, he might actually play decent

I dunno if he is worth the money since he is injury-prone, but lets see.

Should we start betting if the Heat will 3peat before Rose plays a game?
