Miami Heat (66-16) Home 37-4 Road 29-12 Probable Heat starters Mario Chalmers - PG Dwyane Wade - SG LeBron James - SF Udonis Haslem - PF Chris Bosh - C Injury report - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bulls-Season-Highs-2012-2013 Active-Bulls-Career-Highs
PG - Mario Chalmers ($4mil) - Nate Robinson ($1.1mil) SG - Dwayne Wade ($17.2mil) - Marco Belinelli ($1.9mil) SF - Lebron James ($17.6mil) - Jimmy Butler ($1.1mil) PF - Udonis Haslem ($4.1mil) - Carlos Boozer ($15.0mil) C - Chris Bosh ($17.6mil) - Joakim Noah ($11.3mil) 1st sub - Ray Allen ($3.1mil) - Taj Gibson ($2.2mil) Win or lose, the Heat ought to pay for dinner. Maybe Boozer can leave the tip.
Oh bullshit. DRose - $16.4mil Deng - $13.3mil Hamilton - $5mil Hinrich $3.9mil That's $38.6mil of talent that isn't playing, or 67% of the f'in team salary cap.
C'mon, the top 3 players on the Heat make $52mil. The top 3 on the Bulls make $45mil. Total team payrolls are $9mil apart. If you could shake your agenda, you'd admit that it's not about saving $9 mil.
$9 mil plus luxury tax. And yes, it is about $9 mil. The Heat seem to be content to pay the LT and win championships. Or at least be serious contenders. Unlike, OKC, who traded away Harden rather than pay him. Or ... you know, letting Asik walk over a $15M salary 3 years from now.
To be fair, that $9M is the difference between 3 ~$MAX contracts and 2. The Heat have 9 guys making $3M or more. The Bulls have 2 ~$MAX contracts and 6 guys making $3M or more. Their best 3 players are way better (on paper) than our best 3. They seem to be a lot deeper, too, when you consider a bench of Allen, Battier, Miller, Cole, and Anderson
Robinson drives the lane, Anderson with some rough stuff. Fouled. Could call Noah for a T, it is a tech on Noah Allen hits technical FTA FTA no good FTA good Game tied Teague in the game
