Dejan Bimble posted:I'm well aware. The rumor speaks to them starting over completely, because they would need to just to fit his salary. Maybe with Wade taking a really small but long deal, and letting Whiteside go. I don't think either of those things happen if they're confident in Bosh returning. While we already discussed that Wade isn;t interested in this, the Heat would also run into the Over-36 rule from the CBA, which is one of the single most incomprehensible portions of the entire thing

But if he plays for 2 years on his 36 spanning ocntract, the stretched salary steps off of the present tap and stretches to the future. http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q58 It's hilariously convoluted.

Dan Le Batard has reported that the Heat organization believes that Bosh will be playing for the Heat at the beginning of the season. His blood thinners just take 6 months to clear the clots and leave his system. Riley is supposed to use Bosh as a huge selling point to Durant in their meeting.

Bosh just go back to making computers and brewing beer. And I guess you can continue your lovely lifestyle website if that also makes you happy. He was remarkably underrated his years in Miami. Draft predictions: Patrick McCaw will be better than Damian Jones and will probably end up looking really loving good in GSW's system.

What does Bosh have left to prove anyway? 2 Rings, 11 All-star, A Gold Medal and holds a bunch of franchise records for the Raptors. He's had a way better career than most.

And you could say that he could prove himself as one of the best in the association instead of the guy on the Heat who isn't LeBron or Wade. I don't know if he thinks that way but he is hyper competitive, it's something that he's gotten slagged on numerous times and it would be a much different accomplishment regardless of how likely or unlikely it is. He probably also likes basketball, and I can't blame him. Love it myself and I'M paying THEM to watch it!

I'm calling it right now, Chris Bosh. It'll be the beginning of July 2017 and Chris Bosh will be alive. He won't even have a masseuse die while massaging him, that's how alive he'll be.

illcendiary posted:Looks like Duncan's coming back, per Woj. On one hand, I'm always down for more Tim Duncan. On the other hand, he was real bad in the playoffs, and I don't want to see him getting embarrassed nightly. They're not competing for a title if he comes back, but maybe they aren't going to be competing for a title anyway, so why not? I'm not really sure how to feel, but in any case, we don't have a definitive decision yet.

I rarely post (I don't know if I've posted more than 5 times here) but just wanted to say thank goodness for this forum. I just started a new job and have heard so many bad basketball opinions from the dudes in the cubicles next to mine. "The Cavs would've won in 6 if they played Mozgov.", "Barkley was only an ok player, he was just famous because he said crazy poo poo." being two of my favorites. I've had to stop participating in any of the conversations because I end up staring at these guys like they're idiots. This is basically the only place I can come and read (mostly) intelligent and reasonable opinions on basketball and goddamnit, I appreciate you all.

DeimosRising posted:If you want to use the term genetically, you're still wrong because any geneticist or physical anthropologist will just say there's no such thing as race at all, it's a cultural construct. No one is bi/multiracial because that's not a thing. However these are definitely real, if somewhat arbitrary, cultural categories in the US. A certified modern American biracial dude like, say, Joakim Noah probably hasn't got appreciably more or less identifiably northern European genetic markers than any light skinned African American dude like Iverson, nor would he rate much differently on the old blood drop scale where your mom counts for half and your grandma for a quarter or whatever. So yeah I guess, but Robinson probably had European ancestors too and it was still symbolically meaningful for him to play in MLB. I mean, a Biologist will tell you there's not really any such thing as a Species but then they'll turn around on you and discuss things in terms of Species all the livelong day and into the unforgiving night. It's a construct that doesn't find a pure match in the physical world, but it's one that's still rather useful when having discussions* and professionals within the field are aware of that. You only begin to see the flaws when you start running through the edge cases. Point is, don't trust biologists, they're a deceitful race of people. Lock your car doors if you're driving through a neighborhood with a bunch of biologists. *for example, race can be a useful tool in medical diagnostics. There's all kinds of diseases that affect certain genetic populations with greater or lesser frequencies (simple example: if you got blonde hair the doctor's going to hold off on testing for sickle-cell anemia even if you're showing similar symptoms).

Juaguocio posted:On one hand, I'm always down for more Tim Duncan. They had one of the best seasons of all time and got bounced in a super close matchup against a red hot OKC team that was playing the best basketball in the league. Why are they not competing next year? Duncan looked really good during the season but did fall off a cliff in the playoffs. That is fixable though, give him a 20 game vacation starting in February or something.

Wait people don't actually think Harrison Barnes is a pretty good Basketball player? Are they conflating jokes about how much he's gonna get paid, or how he's a shoo in for the Bulls with the Ames connection, with not being a useful player? Dude is like 24, and got in his own head and didn't play well in the finals. He's probably worth about 16-18 million with the cap going up. Once you start getting into the 20's and max levels is when it becomes a bad deal.

Barnes has a bad habit of saving his worst performances for the worst time and for the only games where most people actually watch him. He was also really bad in his last NCAA tournament game and had most of the forum convinced he was a bust even though he'd had a good college career on the whole, albeit one that was disappointing relative to the insane expectations people had for him when he was 17
