it's better than if he went to the cavs though

He already had fit and playing time w Nets.. AND MORE MONEY. Why would he ask for a buyout?? This is so extremely bizarre. What a strange dude, honestly.

The Heat have no business in being anything at this point, not even close. They need to concentrate on actually making the playoffs. And if Bosh is out for the season, well then....

Why would he leave BKN only to go to Miami? He wanted to play an integral part? Go to OKC, they have fu*kin Waiters at SG.

Basically what it came down to was him wanting to show the world he can still perform. In his mind he still thinks he's good enough to get a last contract somewhere this summer that isn't the vet min.

Well JJ definitely gives the Heat a better chance. The Heat match up pretty well with the Cavs and JJ provides them with a much needed shooter. I'm not saying he's a championship piece or anything, but he is a nice fit with Miami.

TJ, Bosh, and Beno are out. Green flat out sucks and Miami needs to get Wade some help. He won't have to carry an offense, but he'll probably be decent in a 6th man role.


The Heat have no business in being anything at this point, not even close. They need to concentrate on actually making the playoffs. And if Bosh is out for the season, well then....

The Heat are 32-25. We probably just need to win 10 of the next 25 games to make the PO's. We're definitely making them. Have a great shot at making the ECF as well.

Nah, Deng has been playing well as of late. Spo should not **** the chemistry. JJ off the bench is ideal.

They have as much chance of beating GSW as the Heat do of sweeping the Cavs.

In Brooklyn he had no chance of winning whatsoever. I'm not saying he didn't care about winning at all, just that he probably still wanted to have as big of a role as he could while still having a shot to do something in the postseason.

It's hilarious that 5 of the top 6 top free agents of the class of 2010 wil l now have played for the Heat. All they need is Carlos Boozer for the perfect set.

I can't believe he didn't go to the Cavs though. This makes things a bit more interesting in the East.

Closer to Atlanta where he lives? Better weather? Better social scene? Better place to retire? Maybe he's friends with someone on Miami? It isn't Cleveland?




If Miami still had Bosh, this would be a much bigger signing for me.

Don't get me wrong. Miami is respectable, but I don't see them going deep in the playoffs especially with Bosh's health in jeopardy. OKC and the Cavs seemed like logical choices if he wanted a shot at a title.

I'm also pretty sure rookie Wade didn't recruit Shaq.

That's Riley's problem, always thinking that some washed up has been is the missing piece to a championship. He refused to try and surround Lebron with anything but a bunch of old guys on their last legs, and we saw the results of that (2014 Finals beatdown)

Riley brought in Hardaway and Mourning and made the Heat a relevant franchise. He drafted Caron Butler and signed Lamar Odom which led to getting Shaq. I'll admit he got lucky with Wade. He then got Lebron and Bosh. He also got Battier, Miller, snd Ray Allen, all major contributors to their titles.

Do you realize how idiotic it is to say "he only got his rings because he brought in great players"? It's HIS JOB as a GM to bring in those great players. You're basically saying he's only a good GM because he's a good GM. It's absurd. And btw, Wade's greatness brought them their first title. They don't win without Shaq, but let's not act like 2006 Shaq was anywhere near prime Shaq. It would be like saying the Heat's 2012 and 2013 titles were due to Wade's greatness. They don't win without Wade, but obviously Lebron was the best player.

He also claims Riley is only considered a great GM because he brought in great players. That has to be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard, and it's not the first time he's said it.

:oldlol:

Curry is only considered a great shooter because he makes a lot of shots. Without him making all of those shots, nobody would call him a great shooter.

The salt in the last few pages of this thread :roll: :roll:

Hilarious... :oldlol: :oldlol:

I found one logical post amid the butt hurt fest


It's something we don't want to admit but I think someone in this thread needs to say it.


Our locker room has a bad reputation league wide. Joe Johnson is not a douche or crazy for not wanting to be on a winning team.


He just doesn't wanna be apart of a media circus after he misses one shot. He simply wanted to avoid all that BS the media does when someone on LeBrons team misses one shot. He goes to the heat who are still contending and have nice weather.



And also athletes leaving for more money has become something bad but it ignores me when ppl attack character for it. 70% of professional athletes are ****ing broke within 7 years of playing and for most it's within 2 years. So if a guy can get one more big payday I'm all for it. Feed your family for as long as possible. I'll never shit on a guy for leaving for more money

Not at all lol

But he'll do good in Miami, where he's not expected to carry an offense.

EDIT: I'm very surprised that he didn't go to the Cavs. Anybody know why he chose Miami?

Once the playoffs arrive, rotations are destined to contract, thus squeezing his chances of getting consistent burn. Joe still has another contract left in him and is bidding to prove he can still demand a pay check. If he goes to Cleveland and is lessened to nothing more than an injury insurance role - that isn't going to benefit his marketability status come the off-season.

But Lebron's not in Miami anymore. What's going on? Did the news not reach Joe Johnson?

"You're suppose to help LeBron! You can't dessert your king!" - Cavs fans.
LeBron fans are the new entitled fans that believe good players should join them for little to nothing.

Riley brought in Hardaway and Mourning and made the Heat a relevant franchise. He drafted Caron Butler and signed Lamar Odom which led to getting Shaq. I'll admit he got lucky with Wade. He then got Lebron and Bosh. He also got Battier, Miller, snd Ray Allen, all major contributors to their titles.

Do you realize how idiotic it is to say "he only got his rings because he brought in great players"? It's HIS JOB as a GM to bring in those great players. You're basically saying he's only a good GM because he's a good GM. It's absurd. And btw, Wade's greatness brought them their first title. They don't win without Shaq, but let's not act like 2006 Shaq was anywhere near prime Shaq. It would be like saying the Heat's 2012 and 2013 titles were due to Wade's greatness. They don't win without Wade, but obviously Lebron was the best player.

I guess he was lucky that Wade actually panned out, but nobody was looking to draft Wade that high due to his size and mediocre jumper. Riley saw him work out once and recognized he had that rare killer instinct.

I admit I thought JJ was done but he looks like a nice fit 2 games in. We will wait for a larger sample size to see the reals.

He and Wade play well off of each other.

Cavs wanted him to fill that Ray allen role. A veteran scorer who's a threat with the game on the line. Too bad Bosh's health concerns make their lineup less potent than it ought to be.

Way Cleveland is built, a nucleus of Irving, Love and Brow might make more sense going forward, assuming they don't win it all this year.
