Yeah, I'm glad we didn't pay that much.

Sadly though, I dont see any other team giving McBob the PT or role we did. At the very least though, he just got paid.

I can actually see Josh starting for the Heat. PG-Wade-LBJ-McRoberts-Bosh. It's an improvement over Battier for sure. That is, assuming all of those guys are back.

Yea I'm glad we didn't give him that much. He was one of my favorite players in the NBA but that's waaaay too much. I hope you enjoy your money because signing McRoberts won't help the Heat bring Lebron back. In Miami hell get

Less playing time, fewer wins, more money. I guess he showed his true colors.

Yeah but that's the issue... Woj tweeted earlier that LBJ's agent is pushing for his return to Cleveland (which I'd like to see) and I read earlier that Bosh is in serious talks with the Rockets.

Combine that with Riley signing McBob and I think the big three are done, if they weren't already. Good luck selling them on McBob when the names being floated out there were Deng and Gasol.

I believe he's possibly worth that contract. The problem is we have Zeller & Vonleh. We can't afford to pay him that much for that many years. Our front office probably only wanted him for 2 years to show those guys time to develop.

It was the right move for us considering the money. That being said, it wouldn't surprise me if we indeed offered more at the end and he chose Miami over Charlotte, simply because it's Miami.

Wade is absolutely back in Miami. I don't see how LBJ goes back to play for an owner that said the things he did. Even if they lose Bosh I think McRoberts will be a starter for that team next year.

      Sometimes the deal you don’t make is the BEST DEAL…. LOL @ Giants

      I don't think it's necessarily selfless to make that trade. I think it's all in how you plan and if you can objectively view the player. You know you're going to have a new coach and be taking a QB in the draft. Whether or not he wanted to admit it, we were going to be beginning a rebuild with a new offense and new defense. Depending on the coach, Burns may not have even been a good fit for the scheme that coach wanted to run.  So, if you're not 1st, you're going to need to trade up. Burns likely is going to want in the 30m per year range. While an effective pass rusher, he was never a complete DE. He wasn't a JJ, TJ, Bosa, or Garrett. He was more Reddick, and while good, never going to be in that top tier contract caliber.  So the question becomes, knowing that you need a QB to go with a new coach, is it better to have your  23, 24 and 25' 1sts  extra 24 and 25 1sts an extra 23'2nd  and 30m aav of future contract cap space to get a QB and edge rusher  Or your 23, 24 and 25 1sts and a good, but not elite DE on an elite tier contract.  6 picks and available 30m AAV in cap space vs 3 picks and 0 extra cap space to get a QB and a good, not great, DE.  To me that is a simple answer and frankly one that could potentially save my job. You have to have vision and be able to recognize value. Fitts over valued Burns like many fans did. I think ultimately what cost him his job was 3 years of not being able to value players correctly. We saw it twice in the draft in 2 separate years when he panicked and couldn't read the draft. DJ Johnson and Matt Corral picks specifically come to mind.  I don't think it was about being selfless as much as being a strategist. Neither Rhule nor Fitts never struck me as very strategic guys. I think they were more let's throw poo at the wall and see what sticks. Unfortunately for the fans, none of it stuck, but it still all stunk.

      The issue is the formula is secret, and it incorporates runs... So... Yup, it does. Same with PFF (which isn't quite as secret). But when it doesn't - like on Sunday - it's often to hilarious results. PFF is more reliable I think at matching my 'eye' test.
