is it true that less than 14,000 people showed up? on a damn friday. that's disgusting
so happy this idiot just cost himself a legacy and hundreds of millions of dollars to play in front of people who couldn't care less about basketball. what a damn shame
For the first time in the history of quoting you, I have to agree. He literally threw his legacy out of the window. They need at least 3 ships to make Lebron and Bosh seem competent in their own shoes. If not, all credit and responsibility for winning will always be D Wade's. It's funny that you brought up the money. His shoe sales, clothing sales, and brand was at an all-time high in Cleveland with people buying his stuff from all over the country i.e Northeast Ohio, NYC, CHI, CA because he seemed on his way to building his own brand and legacy by taking a team with nothing and turning it into something. That argument is done.
Now that he is in MIA, who the hell is going to buy his stuff like before? He wont be as recognized as 'great' as he once was before. His sales will be down. His stat numbers will drop. CLE will boo him, NYC will boo him, Chicago will boo him and LA will boo him. WHAT OTHER MARKETS WILL HE BE MARKETED TOO? He's done. When he left, it should've have been to NYK, but that is my opinion..
Heat @ Cavaliers will be epic...

You guys got a 16 mil trade exception in the s&t from the Heat to get a nice player + 2 1st rd pick & 2 2nd rd picks. You guys WILL bounce back!
I'm glad we're taking the S&T route, only because in a business way - it's the smartest move. 2 First round picks is nice. Two 2nd round picks will nice for trade or draft. That 16 mil trade exception is good if only we can get a player worth the time...
