Somebody (The REAL reason D. Wade is lookin' for $11 million thismornin' bruh)

"I can't believe I let that bread go trustin' that dun!"

Albert Einstein once said, “Anyone who doesn’t take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.” Buddha got visual on a boy when he said, “Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon and the truth.” Then the big homie Winston Churchill took his wide grime gangsta off and shouted, “The truth is controvertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.”

In the end playboy the truth is, Dwyane Wade got screwed! I don’t care how you try to smack it, flip it or rub it down ole boy got played by the very dun that was supposed to be his boy/business partner. On Tuesday the Miami Heat signed him to a 2 year deal worth $31.1 million. For all of you suckas that can’t count, $31.1 million is less than $42 million. That means that the arrow is pointin’ towards the 31.1 in this equation!

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! When LeBron sat down with the fellas and they all agreed to opt out of their respective contracts which were 2 years/$42 million he knew that he was leavin’! My problem with this dun is that he knew that D. Wade’s knees were shot and that NOBODY was gonna pay him that type of bread on the open or closed market.

The Miami Heat was salivatin’ when he walked in and put that $42 million on the table because they didn’t want to pay him that type of bread anyway! He did them a favor. He only played in 54 regular season games last season and will probably play significantly less than that this year.

On some real talk, the fact that LeBron was there may have extended his career because he didn’t have to play as much. Now he’s gotta log more minutes because he’s not gonna be able to sit out 30+ games. So that means that he’s gonna deteriorate at a faster rate. For all of you simple minded individuals that means that ole boy is gonna fall apart much quicker.

Pat Riley wasn’t about to give that dun the $42 million back and he darn sure wasn’t about to commit to the foolish 4 year/$60 million that was initially reported. And that’s the edited version pimpin’! Why? Because D. Wade’s knees are shot and when he initially signed the deal in 2010 Pat didn’t know that they were yet shot.

So guess what? Somebody with an Akron address owes that dun $11 million! Here’s my LeBron fan that refuses to see that his boy did D. Wade. “Jay you sound foolish hollerin’ that LeBron screwed D. Wade. He’s a grown man! He didn’t have to put his bread on the table. That’s his fault not LeBron’s.”

Hold on a second dawg! If we’re all in business together and we collectively decide to make moves as a unit like we’ve been doin’ for the past four years. Why would I decide now to hold up the progress of the corporation if everybody else is optin’ out? Even duns like Udonis Haslem opted out of his measly $4.6 million, relatively speakin’, for the betterment of the business entity.

If D. Wade had decided to keep his bread while everybody else was optin’ out to help rebuild the team he would have looked like the selfish one. Am I right or wrong playboy? We already know that ole boy is willin’ to make sacrifices for the betterment of the team because we’ve seen him do it. However, he was only willin' to make those sacrifices to help win championships.

It was Wade County when LeBron showed up on South Beach bruh! He got out of the driver’s seat and completely gave up the wheel after he figured out that they both couldn’t drive after Dallas put that thang on them in the Finals.

So while you’re sayin’ that he was a grown man. He was a grown man that was loyal to the duns in the car with him too. That loyalty allowed him to put his bread out there for the TEAM not LeBron! And if LeBron was a real cat he would have told ole boy without tellin’ him that he was bouncin’, “Hey bruh keep yo bread!”

Man Law No.5 says, "Don’t involve another man in your foolishness." If you’re gonna cheat on your wife, be out bruh! Just don’t involve me. Don’t tell her that you’re hangin’ out with me when you’re out kickin’ it with some other broad. You don’t even have to tell me that you’re out there. Therefore, LeBron didn’t even have to tell D. Wade what he was about to do. All he had to say was “Keep yo bread playboy!” And it’s all good.

Here’s the diehard LeBron fan that’s in denial that ole boy screwed his patna. “He didn’t know what he was gonna do bruh. He just made up his mind to leave. You can’t be made at him cause D. Wade was stupid enough to give up his money.”

Like I always say big playa, the truth is in the details! A week or so after the freakin’ Finals were over LeBron’s wife posted a joint on Instagram that said, “Home sweet home. The countdown is real #330” with a picture of Akron. Now you can be a sucka if you want to but ole boy knew what he was doin’ the whole time. That’s not the issue here, the issue is somebody owes D. Wade $11 million and it ain’t the Miami Heat.

What trips me out is that these media type cats, specifically Brian Windhorst, is spinnin’ it today like Wade took less money to help the Heat free up bread to pay Chris Bosh the 5 year deal of $118 million. When he put his money on the table Bosh didn't have a $118 million offer because he had just opted out too. That's first off the rip. So say that out loud three times and see how much sense that makes?

D. Wade took the $31.1 million because that’s all they were goin’ to offer him and NOBODY with good sense was gonna pay him that much on the open market. He didn’t voluntarily take a pay cut he was forced to. Pat Riley ain’t no fool! He pulled a Pebbles on him like with TLC and said, "You can either sign this joint or I can find any dun with bad knees that would be thrilled to sign it." He knows that Wade probably won’t see the end of this two year deal so the less he has to pay that dun the better. So Somebody…. Stop me when I start lyin’!

Holla At Ya Boy!

Bread Trippin' (Why boyz in Miami ain't givin' up their bread to makeroom for Melo)

"Whose bread? My bread?"

Richard Whately, the 19th century British economist, once said, “A man is called selfish not for pursuing his own good, but for neglecting his neighbor’s.” Herbie Mann, the famous jazz musician, kept it real when he said, “Being selfish to me means that you have to look out for yourself and you don’t have to sacrifice.” Then Thomas Szasz , the famous psychiatrist, made boyz sit up on the couch when he spit this, “It is easier to do one’s duty to others than to one’s self. If you do your duty to others, you are considered reliable. If you do your duty to yourself, you are considered selfish.”

Well playboy, sometimes there’s nothin’ wrong with lookin’ out for yourself especially when it comes to bread, keepin’ it and gettin’ it. Everybody and their momma’s momma are talkin’ about this upcomin’ NBA free agency and what boyz should do etc. We’ve heard cats screamin’ about Melo possibly goin’ to South Beach if they can make the bread work.

Now although I told boyz last week in the Hot Joint entitled "Secrets" that it was possible because mergers and acquisitions are just a natural part of life it probably won’t happen. In order for it to happen too many things have to fall into place playa. The Big Three all have to opt out and re-sign for less bread and then you’ve gotta convince Birdman and UD to take less bread too.

From a fans perspective that sounds good and plausible. Heck, if you let the fans be agent’s boyz would be naked out here bruh because they think with their freakin’ hearts wide open and their eyes closed shut.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! Everybody’s situation is different at the crib. Therefore, decisions that are made are gonna be based on what’s happenin' at MY house pimpin’! Not the TEAM’s house. Like I keep tellin’ boyz, LeBron is the only dun in the car that has somewhere to go. Everybody else has already overachieved in life. That includes D. Wade too! There weren’t any expectations for him to win multiple championships when he came out of school. And everybody else is livin’ on borrowed time as the old timers would say.

Therefore, duns like Birdman and UD ain’t takin’ a pay cut voluntarily for nobody playa. They need all of their bread because they don’t have crazy money flowin’ in from other sources. That’s real talk. A REAL cat is lookin’ at his bread especially if he knows the statistics behind boyz goin’ broke after retirement. Accordin’ to a March 2009 article in Sports Illustrated entitled “How (and Why) Pro Athletes Broke” within five years of retirement, an estimated 60% of former NBA players are broke. It’s even worse for cats in the NFL. By the time they have been retired for two years, 78% have gone bankrupt or are under financial stress because of divorce or unemployment.

So Bosh is lookin’ at these cats sideways too. He’s already got what he came to South Beach to get playa! Now it’s about stackin’ his bread. His legacy has already become more than he could have EVER imagined.

Did anybody see D. Wade turn into Ole Otis right before our eyes in Finals bruh? That dun was like the cats in the movie “Life” with Eddy Murphy and Martin Lawrence when they started dyin’ off and they just faded off of the screen. That was D. Wade durin’ the Finals! He just went up for a lay-up and vanished. He’s knees are shot pimpin’!

So he’s not about to opt out and leave $40 million on the table ($20 million each for the next two years) when he saw Kobe get $30 million for sittin’ on his butt all year after his Achilles surgery and then fracturin’ the upper tibia etc. Naw playa, D. Wade is gonna be like, “Go head on with that foolishness LeBron! You can really drop me off at my girl’s house right here. But I ain’t givin’ up no bread.”

LeBron is runnin’ around tryin’ to convince boyz that it’s about the team and it is but the real team is at the crib Babyboy! Playin’ ball is for a short period of time time but you gotta live a long time after this game has past you by. That’s real talk.

See Mike could make those sacrifices because he had the Jordan brand out here killin’ these boyz in the streets. When you look at the top 100 NBA salaries of all-time Mike is at No.87. He only made $90 million over the course of his career in NBA bread and like 60 of that came in the last two years he was with the Bulls. Why? Because he wasn’t trippin’ over the bread because of the outside money he was gettin’. When he retired he was still worth a half a billion. So when Mike was makin’ only $3 million a year duns like Tony Kukoc was pullin’ in $12 million a year comin’ off of the bench.

Well LeBron can afford to sacrifice bread too because he’s makin’ it hand over fist at this point. Did you see where he’s No.3 on the Forbes list of athletes gettin’ money at $70 million last year?

So again, he’s the only one that still has his radar on unfinished business because he’s gotta fulfill the prophecy if you will of all of the expectations put on him by the media when he came out of the high school and then the foolishness of him sayin’, “Not three, not four, not five…!”

Everybody else is like, “Man you can drop me off at my girl’s crib right here Bron.” They already dropped off Shane Battier and Ray Ray is hollerin’ at some broad that lives on the next block because he’s thinkin’ about gettin’ out of the ride too.

So you can wish for Melo all you want playboy but individual situations aren’t gonna let it happen. Nobody is gonna sacrifice for something that they already have. Everybody but LeBron has everything and more than they ever expected to get.

So guess what playa? It’s LeBron and Melo’s problem not the other duns in the car. Melo’s got plenty of bread but no rings and LeBron has plenty of bread but not enough rings to satisfy the foolishness out here. Sounds like the two of them and only the two of them need to figure it out bruh! As a matter of fact, if Melo wants to get in the ride with some duns that's already blingin' he's gonna have to take far less bread and ride on the hump. And that's the edited version bruh! Stop me when I start lyin’!

Holla At Ya Boy!
