I posted this under the "Fact or Fiction" thread but thought i should create another thread for those that have'nt looked in there and might be interested. Sports Xtra did an interview with Zo this afternoon and he said that he still hasnt received an offer from the team and he hasnt spoken to Riley in a while. So it appears theres some tension between himself and Riley and the Heat arent interested in bringing him back, at least it looks like that now. he also said he doesnt feel that he owes anything to anyone other than his family and the people of Miami with his charities. He can sign with anyone in little over a week and the Heat still havent talked to him, it doesnt look like he's coming back.

Zo's on Channel 4 right now, Jim Berry is going to interview him, im guessing after they talk about the marlins, but he's on right now.

He pretty much said the same thing about not recieving an offer from the Heat. He said he's been in contact with them but they havent made any offers, he also said that he's received other offers including from Dallas and that he isnt going to wait for the Heat to make an offer because he has to make this decision soon. He also said the same thing about loyalty that he said on channel 7. i saw a glimpse of his interview on channel 10 and he also said that he hasnt received an offer from Miami. Zo was real busy today, three shows on three channels.

He's an a$$. Oh well he wont be missed down here. He'll probably miss half the season again.

i dont think he's an a** for what he said, he has to do whats best for himself and his family. the Heat havent even made him an offer. and like i said in another thread, he has to try to get the most money he can still get before having to retire. He's done alot for Miami and gave this team heart and an identity.

Actually the Heat want him for veteran minimum and Zo already said he will go to highers bidder.The Heat are not going to waste their time and let Zo go to higher bidder.I agree with the Heat desicion to move on.Zo is an a** and ZO received 60 mil the last three years from the Heat.You think he needs more money?

I dont understand why Zo is singled out for wanting to take more money. Plus, he would be on a much better team with a chance to win a championship. How can you blame him when he knows he might not have many more playing years for taking more money on a much better team? I understand he was paid a lot of money while he was sick, but that is the chance you take when you sign someone to a 7-year contract. Obviously, no one expected him to get sick, but I dont think he has any obligation to sign with a much worse team for much less money because he got sick. Im a huge Heat fan and would love for him to come back, but I dont think he has any obligation to stay here unless he wants to.

60 mil over 3 year?Damn the last thing on my mind will be money.Now if he would had come out and said :

 

I would like to play for a contender for a chance at a ring but first thing out his mouth was money.

Well, anyway, you cant sign with a team that doesnt make you an offer, and I dont expect the Heat to make an offer, at least not one that is reasonable. theyll probably make a token offer for the minimum, but for better or worse, I think the Heat have decided to move on and not sign Zo.
