Heat use Amnesty......Updated
Posted by Unknown on Tuesday, July 16, 2013 with 43 comments
The Miami Heat have decided use the NBA's Amnesty Clause to waive veteran Mike Miller. The move will save the Heat over $40 million in tax payments over the next two seasons (estimate).
Update: Statement from Miami Heat President Pat Riley and Mike Miller
"After many discussions internally and a sincere effort to explore the trade market, we made a very difficult decision ..."
Mike Miller:
"I understand. ... Very, very thankful for the opportunity that I've had, but it hurts."

Pretty big loss for the heat, but its about the only move you could make here. He ain't worth no $40 mill in taxes. Looks like James Jones gonna have to step up
ReplyDeleteBye bye mike:(
ReplyDeleteCan't be mad. Mike was great for the heat hit some huge shots when you least expected it. I think riding heats bench saved him a little bit gave him a chance to get healthy and fix his back. Wish him the best. Classy kind of guy. Sharpshooter for sure
ReplyDeleteThey should've used it Joel Anthony, ain't got no type of Offense. Bring in Greg Oden.
ReplyDeleteWow... Unloyal sons of bitches
ReplyDeleteLol!! They had to cut him we didn't want to but Jones & Lewis didn't want to opt out
DeleteIts a buisness moron. Every team gets rid of players. Kg pierce metta will tell you that. They all delivered titles and then got sent out as well. Cant believe they didn't want to pay 36million for a guy who keep movin further down the bench, get real.
DeleteDont worry the knicks will gladly take him .lol

Knick dick sucking bitch. Blabering bout yo knicks son? Looks like the knicks and the knick fans are looking desperate. Fuck off. Go play house with preach or something.
DeleteThey didnt do this for no reason. They have somethin up their sleeve.
ReplyDeleteshit is a shock. dont think u can compare this to kg, pp, or metta. yall lakers and celtic haters repeatedly say we paying to much for our old guys, time to rebuild...thats exactly wat that was about. the heat's situation is different. there n the middle of a championship run which mike miller has been a huge part of, had BIG finals games. i understand mia got plenty of shooters to replace him but i gotta say...THIS IS SUM UNLOYAL SHIT BY MIA. only remains to b seen if this is just to knock somethin off the salary cap or to acquire somebody else? if they doing it to pick up somebody else than they lookin desperate as hell.
ReplyDeletemia will lose n the 2nd round to pacers or bulls regardless
come to la for vets min mikey lol
DeleteAnd if they win it all again? Go do something better preach. Fuck you and your lakers.
Deleteu r hurt right now...i understand
DeleteOnce again your hipocracy is off the roof. Have you already forgotten what lakers did to lamar and d.fish?
Deletegood point. and we aint won shit since....smh unloyal as fuck! it will get u no where. thanks anonymous
DeletePreach that was a bunch of bullshit you just posted how the fuck are the heat desperate and yo bitch ass taking about mikey come to la, you sound like the desperate one...artest was the reason la won their last championship and la just cut him so does that makes la unloyal too? Heat will lose in the second round!? You act like rose is the kryptonite to miami we've beaten the bulls asses with rose at his best and the pacers have no fucking bench whatsoever...shut yo hatin pussy ass up and watch the lakers struggle to make the playoffs next season
Deleteyour pathetic 2 year run is over tfranks...face it. my lakers will get as far as ya heat will get next season.....the 2nd round
DeleteLA ain't even making the playoffs next season
DeleteGreg Oden ?
ReplyDeleteThey let him go so that they can try to re sign LeBron James ...next year.
ReplyDeleteIt baffles me how ppl on here sound dumb af.. The Heatdid this so that they can GET BETTER. That's Wat the offseason is about. Its about getting better and reloading for next yr. If Miami keeps the same exact roster as last yr they ain't winning and they know that.. Every team in the east that is a contender made moves that they believe could knock off they Heat next yr so Miami played it smart and waited until they made their moves and now Miami is going to make moves. They might go after Mosgov & Oden. But if yall screaming unloyal then you couldn't b more wrong. Its about improving and trying to keep your crown
ReplyDeleteor desperation to keep that crown.
Deletemia or nets will get the 1 seed so either bulls or pacers will drop to the 4 seed. mia will lose n the second round...believe that!
Name me one championship organization that was going for a three-peat that was complacent....Hell I'll make it easier. Name 1 person on a NBA roster that is complacent...
DeleteAnd wanna speak in desperation? I guess Kobe's desperate for working hard to get back. I guess Dwight is desperate for positioning himself to win. I guess KG and Pierce are desperate for wanting to play go acontender. I guess Pacers are desperate for improving their bench. I guess cavs are desperate for snatching up Bynum. I guess knicks are desperate with all the shit they been doing this offseason to get Better and Chicago for Derrick Rose wanting to come back next season and contend for a title...
Listen bruh if ur not desperate enough to get better and improve then ur not gonna win a championship PERIOD. If u ask any champion they'll tell u desperation is Wat drove them. & it should b that way that's y every player says they want to b the best..... They're DESPERATE to b the best.

The knicks sucks pacers have ni bench stilk Chicago got number 1 or 2 spot and mia and chicago the only real contenders in the east im sorry i just dont belive in any new york team
ReplyDeleteIm A Heat fan and sad to see Mike miller go but if the Heat think this is the best thing for the team and if it turns out to be a great decicon then it a great move.
ReplyDeleteLoyal is never been in the NBA and Never will the NBA is a business in teams care more about what's best for them then about the player

Deletebtw ya heat never beat the bulls with a improved butler, noah, dunlevy jr another new guy who they can run the offense thru. u say the pacers have no bench? they didnt have granger, cj watson, copeland last year. thats alot more offense, big boost off the bench! and they just took mia? where did mia improve this offseason? nowhere!
