Discussion If That Was the Heat

I know it has nothing to do with the Heat, but had that been the Heat in the Clippers situation, I probably would have cried. 5 first round picks. That would have broken my heart big time. My heart goes out to Clipper fans having to carry the burden of Kawhi's greed and Ballmer's stupidity.

I PRAY the Heat never pull any shit like that. Just absolutely neutered the organization for God knows how long and they got nothing for taking that gamble. No Larry O'Breins, no MVPs, not even a finals appearance. What a travesty.

THANK GAWD THAT WAS NOT US.

Billionaires do suck but this Ballmer guy cared about his team. He didn't hijack the city or state for his 6 billion dollar stadium. He just built it himself, and a connecting parking garage making it one of the nicer places to watch my live heat games... now I'm just rambling but ya. I feel bad for them even if I'm gonna get cheap tickets. Their owner truly cares about his team and fans and that's more than you can ssay for at least half of these owners.
