Remember, no state tax in Florida. Making $10 million a year in Miami is like making $11 million a year here. Factor in the weather, female talent and nightlife, Deng did just fine. Atlanta would have given him even more.

Personally, I think Spoelstra became a pretty good coach the last few years. We'll see how good he really is now.

Limping Wade can attempt to drive the lane with Bosh and Deng waiting in both corners.

So Deng couldnt find anyone who would pay him more than $10 mil/ year I guess.

Either way, the Miami Heat were able to keep themselves a playoff team. They shouldnt be championship caliber at all anymore.

Can't say I'm not disappointed to see the Heat at least fielding a competitive team. Really wanted Riley crash and burn when LeBron left.

Can't wait till Spo is fired after a couple mediocre seasons.

I feel sorry for Deng as the Bulls are gonna take out some aggression on a LJless Heat team. He's just lucky that Nate's still not here to slap him in the face!

Everything changed when they offered Bosh that 5th year. Riley knew giving him as much money as possible for as long as possible is the only thing that would keep that team together. They were 1 Bosh to Houston away from paying Deng 15M a year.

"and at the end of the day, while it’s $10 million, there’s no state income tax. So maybe you gain about a million dollars in that. "
This is what Dengs agent said to Dime magazine. Again, how is this equal ground for every team?
