Game Over

Lamar Odom is staying with the Lakers. Shocking? Not really. It was the obvious outcome, but it was nice to hope for a few days and honestly believe that the Heat had a chance. 

I wonder what will Dwyane Wade Twitter now, because I'm sure he will be as disappointed and frustrated as all of us. The Heat had a legitimate chance at getting him it seems, but something failed. Maybe it was Pat Riley, maybe it was something else, but after the Iverson and Boozer rumors, we really needed something to happen. 

I'm somehow optimistic of the team we have, considering that Beasley gets minutes and becomes as lethal as we all expected him to be, Dwyane Wade stays healthy and the rest of the team contributes solid if not spectacular minutes. Still, with so many changes and upgrades to teams this off-season, getting nothing and losing Jamario Moon does not seem like a great summer for us. 

We have had options, and we have had enough money to attract many of the free agents that have now gone to different teams. I blame Pat Riley and the Heat because having Dwyane Wade on the team is reason enough to motivate people to come and play with us. The weather in Miami? Another reason. Seriously. They could have done a lot better, and as much as I keep expecting a surprise that will shut me up, I don't see it happening this summer.

I wish terrible things upon Odom. He was obviously using us to get a better offer from the Lakers. Man i hope he gets injured in the first game and is out for the entire season. I seriously do. Bastard for masking us all hope.

I tell you what, i cant wait till we play the lakers...

Can you imagine by some divine miracle.. the heat face off against the Lakers in the Finals... and we beat them... wow i would literaly take my pants off and take a crap of Odoms chest =)

I don't blame Odom or his agent for negotiating a good deal, that is what they are supposed to be doing. I blame Riley and the Heat for either not matching up with the offer they needed to make, or not knowing that it was all a negotiation strategy.

I think Riley f-ed up this off season.
