    this is unfortunate for a stand-up guy like Bosh.

    ouch. Don't really feel sorry at all for Simy Pat Riley at all

    Riley lowballed Wade, ignores Bosh...lost James...sort of tainted Miami as a destination where you take care of your players. Riley might just be burning out like Larry Brown did

    I never liked that greasy guy. As soon as Kareem retired, Mr. Brylcreem dumped The Logo, who was all shook up about his leaving. He knew that Magic wasn't the core; it was Kareem.

    Garnett, Duncan and Kobe.

    That's a hell of a lot of talent retiring.

    Do you think Whiteside regrets not giving us the time of day now?

    Not really. Bosh not coming back isn't a surprise.

    Actually, if you change it to Duncan, Garnett and Bosh that's three future Hall of Fame power forwards all leaving the game at the same time. At one time, not so long ago, power forward was the deepest position in the NBA. Now, it's neck-and-neck with SG for the worst position.

    Well he did want to be more involved in the offense. Now with Wade and Bosh gone, he IS the offense.

    I read Garnett wants to be a part owner of the Wolves....his main home has been in Minnesota all his career.

    Not gonna miss him like Duncan, not even gonna miss him like Kobe.

    Straight up disliked Garnett and his BS for a good while. Looking back at this moment does make me laugh though.

    I agree that Bosh is not in the same all time great category as Duncan and Garnett, but he's an 11 time all star and basketball reference lists his Hall of Fame probability as 99.5%. I can't think of any other 11 time all stars that haven't been voted in once they became eligible.
