No matter how much Wade respects Riley, he will not resign and put his championship basketball future and hopes in the hands of an wholly inept and inexperienced Spoelstra. He saw first hand how SVG's incompetence cost the Heat advancement in the playoffs and the Magic's championship hopes and he knows Spoelstra is even less capable. Also, Wade knows he will get money whereever he goes so that's no big deal. The head coach is the problem. If Riley comes back or if they hire Avery Johnson, Wade will resign. If not, then Wade is gone and I don't blame him. Mike Brown is lucky to still have his job and he's Coach of th Year and he had LeBron. Spoelstra should be coaching high school, maybe. But not a NBA superstar like Wade.
Between Riley and Reality
Pat Riley didn't sugarcoat things on Thursday. He wants nothing more than to see Dwyane Wade return his affection - this summer. He wants nothing more than for Wade to receive the paperwork on that contract extension on July 12 and fax it right back to AmericanAirlines Arena with his signatur...
Riley needs to understand that Wade won't resign as long as Spoelstra is the Heat's coach. Wade saw SVG lose it again(panic)in the Finals and he knows Spoelstra is much worse. Wade wants a championship coach again to win it all like Riley or Avery Johnson.
The word from on high: Pat Riley speaks
The glass doors to the office overlooking Biscayne Bay were opened Thursday, with Heat President Pat Riley offering a few elusive insights into the direction of his franchise. Nothing ground-breaking for sure, but rather an update on where the franchise stands and where i...
Beasley has learned to do whatever he wants cause Spoelstra will try to mess him up anyway. FIRE SPOELSTRA!!
Is the power already gone from the Beasley equation?
Interesting interview posted at the Heat's website with Michael Beasley, with the forward discussing his offseason workout plans and pursuits. Two questions, in particular, and their responses catch your eye. ...
Understand, as long as Spoelstra is head coach, it doesn't matter what moves Riley make. Spoelstra will mess it up and mishandle things just as he did with Beasley.
Jermaine opts to be here. Now does he stay?
Certainly no shock that Jermaine O'Neal invoked his option for next season. It's not as if he was finding $23 million elsewhere. What it means, however, is that he officially is an expiring contract, one that just might tempt ano...
SVG wouldn't even be in the NBA Championship If Kevin Garnett and Powe were healthty. He is slightly better than Spoelstra but that isn't nothing to brag about since Spoelstra shouldn't be coaching high school.
Van Gundy left to draw on Heat's Finals days
Down 0-2 in these NBA Finals, Magic coach Stan Van Gundy is drawing upon a page from history that most assume he'd just as soon forget. Although a nominal "advisor" with the team at the time after stepping down earlier t...
Spoelstra is no George Karl and never will be. Karl knows how handle superstar talent like Beasley. What's the sense of talking about basketball talent when you have a LOUSY coach like Spoelstra.
Michael Beasley as Carmelo Anthony?
This could be classified as a reach, but watching the Western Conference finals, there is a sense that perhaps Carmelo Anthony sets up as what Michael Beasley can be. At times, watching Anthony in the post, you see some...
It doesn't matter who the Heat drafts, Spoelstra will mess it up just like he did with Beasley. Spoelstra doesn't have the intelligence nor the sensitivity to be a NBA head coach. He is Riley's biggest mistake EVER!!
Draft bored: Mocking where the Heat currently stands
A few years back, the Heat paraded virtually all of its draft prospects in front of the media. So we got to ask D.J. Strawberry about his famous baseball dad, Glen Davis about his "Big Baby" moniker, Taurean Green about his local roots. This year, though, the wall of sile...
Mr. Arison,
If Riley wants to trade Beasley for anybody, you need to fire him and his entire staff. Spoelstra is the one who needs to be fired and Avery Johnson hired. I have a lot of respect for Riley but the fact is when he hired Spoelstra, I knew he was beginning to lose his mind.
The lottery one year later: Beasley yet to be embraced
It seems like it has been more than a year, but that's all it has been since the Heat found itself in the lottery spotlight. Tuesday, that spotlight will belong to Sacramento Kings or Washington Wizards or anyone else who lucks into the top pick in the random-but-weighted NBA Draft l...
It doesn't matter who the Heat get as players. Spoelstra being retained compromises any player gains. He is INEPT at NBA level;he belongs in high school.
Heat cost the NBA better theater
First of all, I'm not buying what I heard driving around today on the radio regarding how the Heat benefited by not having to go through what the Hawks are enduring against the Cavaliers. Apples and oranges. The Hawks are...
When was the last time a No. 1 lottery draft pick came off the bench? Spo was cautious with Beasley-Please!! Riley wasn't cautious with Spo-he gave him full reign. Spo didn't do that with Beasely. I hope and pray when Beasely's turn comes to leave, he does. The Heat needed a consistent scorer, they drafted a scorer, and then they sit him on the bench.Stupid!! Mr. Arison, Spo should be fired and if Riley doesn't do it, then fired them both.
Time for a small step for Beasley?
The one thing you couldn't help notice most of the season about Michael Beasley was, well, that he wasn't quite as Beast-ly as advertised. Whether the assignment was Josh Smith or the other power forwards he c...
