You know what's great about being a fan? The utter hypocrisy that is allowed to go along with that. I've spent the last four years trashing LeBron and all things LeBron. I've hated him with the white hot intensity of the sun. Wishing hateful [Mark May] on him and the Heat.

If he comes back I'll welcome him with open arms. What a douche bag I am. It's great.

That has nothing to do with being a fan. If people want to like him after hating him, they can, and I can laugh. I understand it, but it's still rather absurd to me. He wasn't hated because he left, he was hated because of how he left. Coming back wouldn't change that, but whatever.

For the record, I wasn't a huge Urban fan while he coached UF. Still not a huge fan to be honest.

Miami used its exceptions to sign Mcbob and Granger. They can still bring Bosh back...but...
Looks like Mcbob was Miami's big addition...They are capped out. No gasol, ariza, morrow...

Miami will still have post defense problems, and will also have back court defense problems.
Wade and Allen are too worn out to guard SG's. They were consistently blown by in the finals.
Bosh will have to play Center and we all know how soft he is, he would rather play SG at the 3-line.
Andersen is getting older, he cant bang bodies much longer.

Most important, Miami has done nothing to help the PG position. Chalmers was too slow defensively and couldn't create his own shot.
Cole seemed like he had good defensive speed but was average at best on offense. Napier will need a year to develop.

Miami has enough talent to get back to the Finals...where they will get destroyed...again
Then LeBron and the team will get, BOOED, again by their own "Miami heat fans".

I'm starting to think Bosh is headed to Houston...

He probably should, he'll make more money, wont have to bang bodies under the rim and...if they make it to the Finals...they'll probably win.
Bosh complained about Miami becoming a job...It will only be worse this year for him. He is the only real backup for Andersen(36yo) Center.

Danny Granger signs with the Heat. Is this the first domino to fall?

Considering his knee problems, he is definitely a domino and will probably fall.

Pretty good overview of the relationship between LeBron and Gilbert and what it will take for them to reconcile: http://www.si.com/nba/2014/07/07/lebron-james-dan-gilbert-miami-heat-cleveland-cavaliers

For the past four years, while LeBron James chased championships and glory in Miami, Dan Gilbert has been buying buildings in downtown Detroit. This may seem unremarkable, a billionaire gobbling real estate. But this is different, because it is Detroit. The city has struggled for decades to get anybody to invest in it. In Detroit, some of the most beautiful buildings in America are empty, and some very wealthy people who own them refuse to fix them because that would be expensive, or sell them because they won’t fetch much. So what usually happens is nothing. Detroit can seem like a city in financial handcuffs.

Gilbert, a Michigan native and resident, surely knows there are safer bets than Detroit. But his investments there are not just about return on capital. They are about how he sees the world and his role in it.

Gilbert is a Midwest guy, a true believer in the ethos of the area. These days, most owners buy a team just to buy a team, like the financial whizzes from New York who just bought the Bucks, or Seattle’s Steve Ballmer, who is working to buy the Clippers. If the city is great, that’s a bonus. But Gilbert would rather own a team in Cleveland than Miami, Los Angeles or New York. Everyone from economists to college football experts seem to think the Rust Belt peaked in the 20th century, and warmer states in the south and west will thrive. This ticks Gilbert off.

I've finally figured it out. He's going to do 1 of 2 things.

1) partner with one of his super rich buddies, in the ultimate troll job, will announce they are establishing a new franchise in Akron.

2) works with Gilbert to move the cavs to Akron.

He gets his attention and he gets to troll Cleveland ..it's his happy place

It is entertaining watching the Heat fans flip out at every twist and turn of news, and it's hilarious watching the national media troll both sides as one day it's Cavs next day it's Heat, but it's getting old. Especially hearing about Pat Riley and listening to the Heat fans and media collectively blow him 24/7. Yes he did a good job helping to convince the Big 3 to come together, but lets be honest, LeBron, Wade, and Bosh teamed up, Riley's job was not that tough. Now having to listen to him always waiting in the dark with some grand master plan, or how he knows what is going to happen etc etc.... I'm so sick of hearing it.

Hell even if LeBron shocked the world and went to Chicago or NY or something like that, I would jump for joy if it meant Riley and his little snakey ass failed and the Heat were screwed.
