We literally flame Riley for that all the time

Naveen Ganglani3 years ago

I remember being in complete shock for like a week that Riles let Wade slip away

Brandon Di Perno3 years ago

This is ridiculous because Bill paints a picture that Heat fans tried to justify the front office's decision. No Heat fan was happy DWade left, everybody thought he should have been paid.

Naveen Ganglani3 years ago

True. Context is really important here as well. Wade and Dame's situations are vastly different

T3 years ago

Most Heat fans are not exactly happy with how the Heat handled the Wade situation tbf

James Pough3 years ago

It's amazing how quickly they have revisionist history when they just traded their face of the franchise in Marcus Smart whether he was their best player or not he was the heart of the team

Surya Fernandez3 years ago

Apple and oranges. Actually, the Lillard-Wade comparison is so off, so nonsensical, it’s a disservice to compare fruit to another fruit. Apples and rhinos, maybe that works better.

Naveen Ganglani3 years ago

Couldn't have said it better myself!

Kyle Russell3 years ago

No Heat fan wanted Wade to leave. The Heat front office learned their lesson when they had to give out big contracts the following seasons to recoup their image to players. If anything, Miami fans are trying to keep Portland fans from experiencing the same thing.

Dave3 years ago

Just about every heat fan was pissed at the front office for letting Wade walk.

Bill Simmons TAKES SHOTS at the Heat fans/media and hopes LeBron joins Miami: “There’s two reasons I think it’d be fun if he went to Miami. One, I think it’s a terrible fit. Two, their annoying fans and even more annoying media will be going nuts that they think they’re going to win the title and it’s going to be really fun to watch that crash and burn. If he goes there, great. It’s THE most annoying media. They know it. That’s the only way they get attention.” Celtics fans/media are terrified of LeBron coming back to Miami. 💀 (Via Bill Simmons)

Brian Windhorst says the belief is the Timberwolves are out on Giannis and Miami is still trying to improve their offer “Minnesota and GS think they aren’t getting Giannis today. The Miami Heat are still out there the last I heard trying to make moves to improve their offer to MIL. They have an offer that is a blend of players and picks, it’s sorta a hybrid offer…. That said, the Heat can make a better offer in the summer. Teams believe it’s most likely Giannis stays put but Miami is still there but I will never put anything past Andy Ellisburg and the aggression of Pat Riley so keep and eye with Miami” (Via First Take)

A man joined went to his daughter’s birthday dinner, when it was time to pay, her feminist friends are now crying that he wants to only pay got his family including himself, daughter and his wife and should pay the whole $700 bill because he is the only man at the table. They are now attacking him and calling him cheap and ghetto. As the only man at the table, is it automatically his responsibility to pay or are his daughter’s friends the ones being cheap?

Gilbert Arenas on why he hated playing Dwyane Wade "I hated playing against him. After the 2004 Olympics, coming into the 2004-05 season, everybody was talking about the Heat. Shaq went over there and I said, 'We'll just treat D-Wade like they did in the Olympics, just play him off the ball.' Didn't think nothing of it." "Then I'm looking at the scoreboards and Miami is coming close. D-Wade is putting up 40, 45, 45. I called the hotel. 'Hey, is this Dwyane? Hey man, this is Gil. That stuff I said a couple weeks ago, I don't know if you saw it.' Just to let you know, you know, trying to smooth it over." "I don't know if that phone call helped because he did not look like it helped. At halftime Larry Hughes looks at me and says, 'If you're going to talk about players, you guard them. Because what he's doing out there to you, he's taking it personal.' That was the last time I ever said anything about a player."

Stephen A Smith believes Erik Spoelstra needs to take over as the coach and GM, and bring back Dwyane Wade to the organization: “Recruiting matters. You got a lot of cats that would love to be in Miami but don’t want to be under that level of rigidity that Pat Riley has as a culture…. I think you put Spoelstra in charge as the coach and GM. I think you also go and reach back out to Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem. You make sure they are fabrics of this organization. This is Riley’s city, this is Riley’s town. But it’s something called Wade county and we know why. D Wade can call games on TV all he wants too, he deserves more than that.” (Via First Take)

They continue to put out All Stars but you just got to put out the right mix together so you can get back to that place you’re accustomed to being at. That’s the playoffs and competing for something. It’s not just championships, it’s in the playoffs competing for something. You just want a chance. We haven’t given ourself a chance. We’ve been in the play in the last 4 years. People got mad at me when I said it but no lies detected. It’s not that the talent isn’t there. It’s just the meshing of the talent is not there….

When Myles Garrett first requested a trade from Cleveland, it seemed like most fans were on his side. Now, after his continued media tour, a lot of people are getting sick of it. "The Browns don't owe Myles anything. You didn't play for free; they paid you handsomely. You know who they owe it to? Us. We're the ones who spend money on gear. We're the ones who go to games and pay the crazy concession prices and cheer for you when it's 30° below and raining. They owe it to us to get the most out of you as possible, whether that's you performing on the field at a high level or trading you to whoever is willing to give us the best capital in return." No one forced Myles to sign the extension offer to stay in Cleveland. That was his choice to stay here long-term, and now he wants out despite having two years remaining on the contract that he willingly agreed to. Where do you stand in the Myles Garrett situation after multiple weeks now of appearing on every sports show possible to tell the world how awful the Browns are to play for?

Gilbert Arenas GOES IN on “Heat Culture” 😳 “Miami when it comes to Ja brand is the only place that makes sense, but I don’t think him and the Pat Riley mindset can co exist right now. You ran off Jimmy Butler, ran off D Wade and LeBron James. You have a disguised system, but it works. —The system is I get one of the top 5 players in history, they help me win, when they leave, Heat Culture. I get to whip them boys and use the ring I let the superstars get doing it his way then I get to beat everybody else into this Heat Culture system — When Shaq got there, there’s no Heat Culture. Shaq, GP, Posey, Walker, D Wade, doing whatever they wanted to do. If Heat Culture is building a barbershop in the strip club because you’re there so much god damn it sign me up! They won a chip, when they left, Heat Culture! Didn’t win nothing. Then LeBron came, LeBron did it his way, when yall had a bump, he left. Then it became Heat Culture. The only superstar who thrived with that mediocre basketball talent they had was Jimmy Butler.” (Via Gilbert Arenas)
