談起熱火是如何建隊時，伯德說道，“我一直都在說，你得按規則玩遊戲，如果這是規則的話，那就是吧。但是擁有最好的球員七步郎-占毛獅(LeBron James )，可能是第5、6位最好的球員德維恩-韋德(Dwyane Wade)以及前20的基斯保殊(Chris Bosh)，你很難和他們抗衡。”
Larry Bird didn't mention any names. But it sure sounds as if he wouldn't be a fan of free-agent guard Ray Allen taking less money to join the Miami Heat.
In an interview with ESPN, the Hall of Famer who recently stepped down as Indiana Pacers president, said what he doesn't like how the Heat put together a team that just won a title and is shooting for more.
“The one thing that bothers me the most is guys taking big pay cuts for a year to go down there and try to win a championship,’’ Bird told ESPN. “There’s a lot of guys who like to ride the coattails of the best, and they’ll take a pay cut just to have an opportunity to win that ring.’’
Allen, who will visit Miami on Thursday, has been offered a three-year, $9.53 million deal by the Heat, well below the two-year, $12 million offer the Celtics have on the table for him to re-sign.
The most the Heat can offer any free agent for next season is the $3.09 million taxpayer exception.
The Heat in the summer of 2010 brought in free agents LeBron James and Chris Bosh to join a re-signed Dwyane Wade. It paid off as Miami last month beat the Oklahoma City Thunder for the NBA championship.作者: sasuke6 時間: 2012-7-6 11:56 AM
