Saying it a while now...once the OKC trial and error run of BillyD goes south, so will Durant. He's not wasting anymore of his prime with "hopes" OKC gets better.

Also do note, he's on record for not wanting to play in his hometown of DC, and will be looking for a squad on the brink of a title...with him all but sealing the deal. He doesn't want to be the next Barkley or Mailman, and go out ringless.

Welcome to Miami KD35! :applause: :applause: :applause:

[90sgoat]

Would be all kinds of awesome if KD wins a ship with essentially the same team as Lebron. If that happens Wade moves into top 10 or close and Lebron is finally exposed as a barely top 50 stat padder.

[Legends66NBA7]

I can't see him leaving. OKC's roster is better right now and in the future and would make more money by resigning Iin OKC.


Plus, OKC could win it all this season.

Well the article explains this notion a bit:

"The Heat will have $37.4 million in cap space in 2016 and can offer Durant a four-year deal if he chooses to leave OKC. The Thunder can offer him a max contract for five years but may have to dig deep into the luxury tax to do so."

OKC is known for being cheap...they'll try to sign KD and trade away Ibaka or WBrook. That's literally how inept their mgmt is :lol

[Fudge]

Lmaoooooooooooooooooooo

heat nation? Miami actually has any fans after Branita left? :lol

How?

[LikeABosh]

Riles will make it happen, no question. Minus well just accept it now and get over it bitches.

[Hey Yo]

Key word


RUMORS

[90sgoat]

How?

If Durant wins with Wade and Lebron doesn't win in Cleveland (which he won't), then it is proof that Wade - despite the lower stats - was the actual winner behind those Miami rings. That puts him at 4 rings, one against Tim Duncan a top 5 goat including.

Lebron though would be exposed as the most statpadding loser of all time.

1 Sidekick Ring isn't propelling Wade to Top 15 status. He needs to win as the man.

[Lebron23]

Is he an idiot?? He has a much better team in OKC. 90sgoat is another Simon Account.

You scarred hes going to win more titles in Miami than Bran? :lol

[Lebron23]

You scarred hes going to win more titles in Miami than Bran? :lol

He won't win a title in Miami. Wade would be 35 yrs.old while Westbrook is just entering his prime.

And Current Durant is more injury prone than Kyrie Irving. At least playing with another top 5 player in Westbrook he can afford to miss some games in the regular season.

[SwishSquared]

To bring KD to Miami, Wade will have to take a sizeable paycut and Whiteside will likely leave.

[plowking]

KD, Whiteside and Justise together. Going to be a hell of a team.

[brownboyfly]

Best player in the world coming to Miami again.

Pretty much. Pat Riley still pulling all the strings he can... Durant paired with those bigs like Whiteside is scary + I imagine Goran settles into his role comfortably by then.

[AnaheimLakers24]

Future laker

[DaOldLion]

we'll see

KD & Bosh would be deadly

[KG215]

So this "source" is insinuating Durant has a "wish list" of teams 10 months before he's actually a free agent? :roll:

What a crock of shit. Even if Durant did have a "wish list", he sure as hell wouldn't let it be any kind of known this far in advance because it'd cause all kinds of shit in the locker room.

We welcome you on the Heat express this season, and then the championship cruise the following season with Durant.

[90sgoat]

Miami, where over the hill players go to get carried to rings by Wade:oldlol:

[SOD 21]

This is rumor #238 that KD is leaving and there will be another 2,000 to 3,000 to come over the next year.

Nothing to see here, please move along.

[Soundwave]

As someone who called LeBron to Miami like 8 months before it happened, I don't see it here.

Wade and Bosh are much older now so that doesn't hold nearly as much appeal.

If Durant is leaving OKC, then it's for a situation that will get him a better chance at winning a title in a window that can be sustained for more than just one run.

[sd3035]

Riles will make it happen, no question. Minus well just accept it now and get over it bitches.

:biggums:

[r15mohd]

To bring KD to Miami, Wade will have to take a sizeable paycut and Whiteside will likely leave.

this is where Miami just gives him the take it or leave it salary...he bitched his way to get his $23 mil contract this year from Rile's, now Riley can throw the chips at KD and Whiteside (if he continues his upward trend), and whatever is leftover will be taken by Wade without remorse from Rile's or the Heat front office.

for Wade to have any leverage to actually get a substantial contract from the Heat going forward, he has to basically reemerge as 2010-11 Wade or before, and that's unlikely...especially with a prime susperstar like KD having thoughts of coming to SoBe.

maybe Wade will finally settle in taking the lowball salary and finally agrees to the Zo/Tim Hardaway route in getting a substantial check while apart of the Heats' front office.



it would be really amazing to see a lineup circling around these players:

Whiteside
Bosh/KD
KD/Justise
Wade/Justise
Dragon

[niko]

This would be doing the Heat a favor. Doing the Heat a favor is not what Durant is looking for.

[sd3035]

Would be all kinds of awesome if KD wins a ship with essentially the same team as Lebron. If that happens Wade moves into top 10 or close and Lebron is finally exposed as a barely top 50 stat padder.

Same team? Wade will be a shell of his former self by then, and Allen is gone

Who knows what Bosh will be like when he returns

Lebald left at the right moment, can't blame him to be honest

[r15mohd]

Whiteside, Justise and Dragon are all on the younger side...Wade and Bosh would fit perfectly in the veteran/leadership role behind a prime KD, as he goes apeshit on a nightly basis without hesitation and deciphering over the 1a/1b role with WBrook.

it's not as bad a fit, to be honest.

[Vaniiiia]

0% chance Durant leaves.

Nice click bait though op. Finally people are paying attention to one of your threads. :lol

[Cocaine80s]

Think I just became a Heat fan again

[Lebronxrings]

no excuses then.

Dragic

Ok Aug 2015 :rolleyes:

New, unproven, coach
1a/1b toss-up btwn him n WBrook
Even stronger WC going into next season
In his prime and roughly 4-5yrs remaining at his level of play...he ain't wasting them in Hicksville

4 viable reasons right there as to why he would leave

As for paying attention to my threads...how would you know my way around ISH if you've been here roughly a month? just proves you're someones alt. lol get a life hillbilly

[buddha]

Goran Dragic
Dwyane Wade / Gerald Green
Kevin Durant / Justice Winslow
Chris Bosh
Hassan Whiteside

is one hell of a squad

That's amateur shit and wishful thinking. You're a moron, and a bonafide loser.

But ok, we'll take your word for it. Less than a year away we'll see if leaves to Miami. You're on the clock.

its not about the roster its about DAT LYF STYLE :pimp:

Maybe he can go back to Okc after

And lose them more Finals

When you're making like $20 million dollars a year your lifestyle is pretty good in any North American city to be honest and you can chill on a beach all summer long if that's what you want. During the season you're on the road half the time anyway.

[Clifton]

he's on record for not wanting to play in his hometown of DC, and will be looking for a squad on the brink of a title...with him all but sealing the deal. He doesn't want to be the next Barkley or Mailman, and go out ringless.
Pat Riley strikes again. Damn.

You want to say: How do the Heat have a better future than the Wizards? They don't have more talent.

But they've got Riley. He has been a champion as a coach and as a... whatever he is now. He has been a champion recently.

The Wizards have basically never ever been good.

So I can see the logic here. But what if the Wiz win 50 games and the Heat go under-.500? If the Wizards are a top 3 team in the conference without Durant, I can't believe he wouldn't at least consider us.

[salwan]

it's not like the wiz have a perfect roster / future.
I would rather put my trust in riley. he's a proven winner, who can pull some crazy moves out of his ass at anytime

[#number6ix#]

We da besssssssss

[KG215]

So people still haven't realized this article/source is full of shit? For f***k's sake it says the Heat top Durant's wishlist. Why the hell would Durant have a "wishlist of teams" so long before he's actually a free agent. Even if he did have a "wishlist" why the hell would he let it leak who's at the top of that "wishlist" when he's got an entire season to play before he's a free agent? If this was next June or something, then yes, it might be more believable, but in September it reeks of bullshit.

[Dragonyeuw]

I call BS on this. You really think Durant is going to openly have a wishlist of teams OTHER than the one he's playing for? That would completely disrupt team chemistry if there's a cloud hanging overhead that the franchise player wants to play elsewhere, and the info being put on blast.

[KG215]

There's a pretty decent chance he won't even have a "wishlist" of teams next summer when he's actually a free agent, let alone 10 months and an entire season to play with his current team before becoming a free agent.

[PJR]

The actual article isn't a credible piece, but you'd have to be naive to think Durant, should he elect legitimately consider other possibilities, that Miami won't be under consideration.

An organization with a proven track record, and South Florida. Please believe it.

[r15mohd]

Those are your "viable" reasons? :oldlol:

But ok, we'll take your word for it. Less than a year away we'll see if leaves to Miami. You're on the clock.


no, what's wishful thinking is OKC fan base/KD fan base buying into OKC having Billy Donovan as a saviour to come in and turn around a team in 1yr while, arguably, the #1 player in the league is up for free agency. who does sh!t like this? and it goes even further in that the another top 10 player in the league, WBrook, is also a FA for the same squad. :facepalm

too risky a move left in the hands of the unproven...simple as that. what is going to reassure KD or WBrook in that if things are a bit rough this season, that it will get better over time with BillyD? his stellar tenure in Gainesville? :roll: :roll: :roll:

enjoy the last year of KD, (insert your ALT here)...he may not even come to Miami, and that's all fine, but he's for sure leaving Hickville and that cheaply run OKC organization if OKC isn't in the Finals this year.

[r15mohd]

When you're making like $20 million dollars a year your lifestyle is pretty good in any North American city to be honest and you can chill on a beach all summer long if that's what you want. During the season you're on the road half the time anyway.


certainly pretty good if the funds are there, that's no doubt. but living in OKC with $20 mil and Miami with $20 mil are very different lifestyles.

as for being on the road half the time during the season, ok granted. the other half is still alongside the beach and an upbeat day and nightlife, if in Miami.

[Spurs5Rings2014]

Tim Duncan a top 5 goat

:applause:

it would be really amazing to see a lineup circling around these players:

Whiteside
Bosh/KD
KD/Justise
Wade/Justise
DragonI'd have to look into specifics, but I think Durant's max should be ~$27M next year, assuming he gets 30% of a $90M cap. That leaves $10.5M in 1st year salary for Whiteside, who could field better offers elsewhere. That assumes Wade takes the vet min or the room exception, which could happen- we never know. Getting rid of McRoberts would open more $$$ for Whiteside/Wade, but he'll be a fairly cheap backup on a team that might have a thin bench.

It's doable, but requires quite a bit of moving parts.

Melt...down.

Russ and Kevvy are Thunderbuddies for life, mang. Are you upset about that?

[r15mohd]

Melt...down.

Russ and Kevvy are Thunderbuddies for life, mang. Are you upset about that?


lol...why would I be upset? any superstar or star that considers the Heat, be it KD, Beal, Horford, etc. will be a plus for us. even if we lose out on the top tier of FA's next summer, we can still land someone who will ONLY be beneficial to the Heat as our core is pretty much set for a few more years. landing a 2nd tier player like DeRozan, Parsons, Noah still improves this team, we don't have the concerns over losing anyone as does OKC.

OKC's two options rest solely on a deep playoff run, or hopes that BillyD doesnt sink the ship before it even gets to the post-season. again, our chances remain favorable to yours...the Heat can remain mediocre this year for more success later, the team is well aware of the long-term goals pitched by Riley. OKC is relying on this season, and this season only to determine their future of continued stardom or into the lottery.

[chips93]

KD, Whiteside and Justise together. Going to be a hell of a team.

is it?

whiteside is a26 year old knucklehead, and winslow is unproven

Better option bcuz he's not a big nightlife person? lol are we discussing him winning a ring in the future or trying to be in his comfort zone here? Smh

The Wizards dont have a better team than Miami, and that is if Miami remains healthy for the most part. If KD wants a chance at a ring, going to DC is actually worse than sticking it thru in OKC

[r15mohd]

You know nothing about Kevin Durant or the situation. Just shut the **** up you worthless retard.

And you do? You're likely halfway around the world in Asia somewhere, probably the reason as to why you've been missing all day long. Sun now rising on your end and you showing off the butthurt

Just Stfu and enjoy KD in OKC his last year...and PM me when you're ready for the bandwagon Heat forms :lol :lol :lol

[DoctorP]

Good. He should come to Miami.

I really hope he does. Would be an amazing team and Wade would probably change his name from 3 to 4.
