So Heat turned a 40th overall pick (success story Josh Richardson) and a project who was essentially a D league guy when Miami signed him (Whiteside) and someone who is now a middle school student into Jimmy Butler (and Meyers Leonard): Heat completes trade to acquire Jimmy Butler. Here are details on the four-team deal

I'm glad they were able to get rid of Whiteside. He is a great against lesser or equal centers but put some animal on him and he goes totally wuss.
I'm laughing at the Lakers and Lebron...they got punked, hard. Jerry West got over on his old team.
Jerry West is a consultant at this point. As great of an executive as he has been (arguably the greatest), he had little to do with this happening. The Clippers are a sound organization with a respected front office, but Kawhi made a big time power move. He forced the Clippers to leverage their future and trade for Paul George at a hefty cost. Kawhi has to be looked at on the same level as LeBron and KD at this point. The Lakers will still be a scary team with AD and LeBron. But, the NBA is officially wide open and it’s fascinating.
They got Boogie and Rondo. Cousins has good chemistry with AD. Should be interesting watching them vs the Clippers next year.Lakers got AD but nothing else. Will they even have 5 players on the court?

Lol lebron averaged 28points 8 rebounds and 8 assists last year. You're retardedLebron is old with a ton of mileage. It's a matter of when not if...he's going to drop off a cliff. He went to LA for the movies and all the other non-basketball BS so it serves that ****show right. Heartbreak is on the way. Laker fans are delusional.
And? Didn't even make the playoffs. Neither did AD. They won't be a very good match because Bron needs another perimeter star player to go far come playoff time.Lol lebron averaged 28points 8 rebounds and 8 assists last year. You're retarded
His PER dropped 3 whole points from 2 seasons ago to last year.Jordan slowed, too. That didn't prevent him from winning a title in '98 or being the game's best player. He became smarter, more savvy, a better player than when he played above the rim.
LeBron is far from finished. I want that guy on my team.
Few players if any could match MJ in terms of competitive fire or killer instinct. Which brings me to the production drop. My guess is LeBron mailed it in a time or two this season. I'm pretty sure he can still take over a game when he puts his mind to it.His PER dropped 3 whole points from 2 seasons ago to last year.
He's played ONE full season his entire career. MJ played every game 96-98. Crazy.
MJ didn't have to lug 250-260 pounds up and down the court. Not to mention...he's freaking Michael Jordan. And Bronnie is no MJ.
Knicks are being laughed at. Dolan being called a failure. If having the most profitable team 4 years straight is failure, then sign me up. I'll fail all day every day for that kind of bank.
