Dwyane Wade

LeBron James broke the Miami Heat’s Big Three. He did not break Pat Riley’s spirit. There is no replacing King James, the best NBA player on the face of this planet, the point guard, point forward, stretch forward, power forward, small forward amalgam who will go down as one of the greatest, if not the [...]

Poise under pressure is a difficult thing to master, but Miami Heat president and resident hair-slicker-backer Pat Riley has it down, well, pat. When LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh opted out of their contracts, it was considered a good thing. They would re-sign. And not only would they re-sign, they would all take [...]

Stealth free-agent recruit mode activated. While everyone was zeroing in on the Los Angeles Lakers’ meeting with Carmelo Anthony on Thursday, general manager Mitch Kupchak flew the coop. Literally. According to the Los Angeles Times‘ Mike Bresnahan, Kupchak left for Cleveland after speaking with Melo, which presumably means he’s hoping to meet with LeBron James: [...]

Where there’s an available superstar, there’s Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey waiting in the wings, pen in one hand, checkbook in the other. The Rockets and Morey just won’t go away. Not when it comes to courting superstar free agents. Not when it comes to Chris Bosh. According to ESPN.com’s Marc Stein, the Rockets [...]

Chris Bosh’s and Dwyane Wade’s free-agency excursions just got a helluva lot more interesting. Well that, or there’s a lot of bullshit flying around these parts, which, admittedly, isn’t unusual this time of year Both Bosh and Wade were slated to earn over $20 million next season, but after they opted out of their contracts, [...]

Vinsanity is back! Too bad it’s not better than ever. One of the most underrated NBA free agents on the market this summer is Vince Carter, who has spent his last three seasons playing for the Dallas Mavericks. According to a report from ESPN Dallas’ Tim MacMahon, there are (unsurprisingly) a number of teams are [...]

That didn’t take long. The San Antonio Spurs haven’t even cracked their last bottle of NBA championship bubbly—or Tim Duncan’s case, NBA championship warm milk—yet, and already the focus has shifted to the team they dethroned. [tweet https://twitter.com/danfavale/status/478376989725057025] This always figured to be a big offseason for the Miami Heat, what with LeBron James, Dwyane [...]

That’s all she wrote folks. Roughly eight months later, we have an NBA champion. It’s the San Antonio Spurs, who unseated the Miami Heat in convincing fashion, ruining their three-peat hopes in a matter of five games. Duplicating last year’s performance was always utterly impossible. This matchup spanned seven games and took a number of [...]

Forget the NBA Finals, the Miami Heat have free agency on the brain. More specifically, Pat Riley has Carmelo Anthony in his sights. According to ESPN.com’s Marc Stein and Brian Windhorst, the Heat will try, against all odds, to form a Big Four this summer: The Miami Heat’s immediate focus remains overcoming a 2-1 NBA [...]

The Miami Heat’s three-peat is officially on life support. After squandering Game 1 amid Crampgate, and then embarrassing themselves on their home floor in Game 3, the Heat needed Game 4.
