'13 All things Heat thread

[Wade2Bosh]

Delonte West had a twitter meltdown last night after the news about him not being allowed to attend the white house. He went in on Brian Windhorst cause I guess that's who he blames for that story..

I wonder why he's making the league minimum

[Wade County]

Holy LOL Delonte - dude wonders why he's making league minimum. Career suicide.

[Dee-Zy]

going from 800 to 370 is pretty huge though... that's crazy (I'm off topic, not defending the guy or anything, just an observation).

[Jace]

Yeah but he's not listing reasons that are all mandatory. Lawyer fees and divorce fees are his fault, primarily.

EPIC spelling btw.

[Wade County]

Dont forget tax (which everyone pays) and agents fees (maybe he should change agents...).

Bitch move by Delonte trying to blame things which are his own doing, like charging around on a 3 wheeler with 2 handguns and a shotgun trapped to your back (WTF!) on someone reporting on it.

If he wants to know whose fault it is that he's on the league minimum, look in the mirror. You got talent man, but your head is messed up.

[Dee-Zy]

Very true.

He is definitely talented. Very sad stuff.

[Wade2Bosh]

Heat will hold their very 1st full practice of the season on Monday in San Francisco. Pretty crazy. Big practice too with Mike Miller fully participating for the 1st time and a chance to see how Wade feels after going through the practice.

[Wade County]

Just a thought - if the Mavericks somehow manage to sign both Deron Williams and Dwight Howard to join with Dirk and create their own Big 3, does that make Mark Cuban one of the biggest hypocrites of all time?

He was very outspoken with respect to how we formed our Big 3, ran his mouth nonstop about it.

Sidenote: How the hell did Riles win co-Executive of the Year with Gar Forman (Bulls) last season? Are you kidding me?

[Wade2Bosh]

Still dont get how Riley didnt win that award. Definitely some Heat bias on that vote.

Lebron James won Eastern Conference player of the week once again. No surprise. You cant average 30 on 60% and not win that. He's gotta be early favorite for MVP.

Neither Wade nor Chalmers practiced today. Miller practiced but will not play tomorrow.

EthanJSkolnick Ethan J. Skolnick
Curry and Miller practiced, Wade did not. But Spoelstra says Wade will try to go through shootaround tomorrow.

Still no Wade. That's not good.

Eddy Curry update:

MiamiHeraldHeat Joseph Goodman
Eddy Curry, back practicing, tells me he hasn't "felt this good since high school."

EthanJSkolnick Ethan J. Skolnick
Eddy Curry says he felt great going thru full contact work. Hoping to get a shot on road trip, also understands patience. "Staff is great."

MiamiHeraldHeat Joseph Goodman
LeBron running through post-up drills like he was Karl Malone. Giving Gladness and Dex tips, too.

So he goes from little to no post game, to giving the young guys pointers

What exactly did Cuban say again? I thought I remembered it mostly being jabs at James, along the same "competitive" lines as Otis. I could be dead wrong, though, because I dont remember specifics. Its automatically hypocritical considering he went hard trying to work a sign-and-trade out for LeBron, and was probably the only team that was vying to get him that didn't make it far enough to get to present in front of the King.

And that co-exec of the year award was a joke. How do you compare Boozer/Korver to LeBron/Bosh/Miller, not to mention retaining Dwyane and making UD's money work? Silly.

[Dee-Zy]

It's because Bulls improved from I don't know how many wins to first in the league.

Only reason.

I don't actually agree with it but that is best guess.

[Wade2Bosh]

Cuban also mentioned collusion possibly taking place and talked about the league possibly needing to look into it.

Sad how little insight is used. Hey writers, maybe their improvement had more to do with lucking into the exponentially-improving top pick, and not a couple of under-producing FA signings?

Ah yes. I guess Cuban hoped people had forgotten by then that he had tried to get in on the sweepstakes, too. Had to have known his case of sour grapes would be extremely obvious if that weren't the case.

Executives from the 30 teams vote on that award. Forman and Riley tied with 11 votes a piece, while 3 other team execs voted for John Paxson, the Bulls executive vice president of basketball operations. So in reality, the Bulls got more votes than Riley did.

Defintely reeked of a little Heat backlash.

[Wade County]

Cuban also made various snide comments when we were struggling early last season, about how 'glorious' it was.
