    Did I not cite ESPN as the source? It has nothing to do with our (posters in here) beliefs.

    & David Lee isn't exactly a "way better offer" lol.

    If that happens, I will once and for all be convinced that Pat Riley has naked pictures of every GM in the league.

    Shaq-to-Phoenix pretty much has me on the brink. :lol:

    The thing I don't want to get confused (looking back on older posts) is that I am a huge O.J. Mayo fan. He'll be one of my favorite players. It's just..........Michael Beasley is :eek:

    friend of mine called to tell me that they were talking a deal with Haslem going to memphis along with Marion for their pick, Lowry, Miller, and Warrick.

    WOW..if that happens.

    Who would we take with Memphis' pick? And does that make Dorell Wright a permanent starting forward?

    We've got to take on Brian Cardinal for that to work. Tough decision, but I'm taking that deal, dude. Looks like Seattle may go with Brook Lopez, who is the guy I'd take there, though. But if they go with Bayless, Westbrook, or someone else:

    G - Kyle Lowry
    G - Dwyane Wade
    F - Mike Miller
    F - Michael Beasley
    C - Brook Lopez

    Bench: Alonzo Mourning, Hakim Warrick, Dorell Wright, Daequan Cook, etc.

    I wouldn't discount Miami selecting Bayless if Lopez goes #4, though. Lowry isn't a sure bet, and it's always nice to have two solid point guards on the roster.

    Mike Miller
    Brian Cardinal
    Hakim Warrick
    Kyle Lowry
    = about $18.6 million. The #5 pick jumps that to about $21-22 million or so.

    Shawn Marion & Udonis Haslem = about $23.8 million

    Miami would probably include a minor filler player who will be waived by Memphis.

    It works under the cap, actually. Nice deal for both sides. What this deal does for Miami is it gives us numbers and youth, and we then turn our attention towards the 2010 summer instead of 2009. Instead of Marion's $17.2 million coming off the books in 2009, we'd have $24.5 million (Miller, Blount, Cardinal) coming off the books in the summer of 2010 + Dwyane Wade.

    :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Pat Riley, you're a ****ing genius if you pull something like this off.

    Last I heard it was Miller and the 5th for the 2nd. I would be happy with Mayo or Bayless.

    Damn. The talk around the league is still Miami moving Beasley?

    Oh well. At least I got laid the night before the draft. I hope Riley does. Maybe he'll ease up. :yes:

    Is Miller worth the gap between the 2nd and 5th?

    More importantly, is he worth the gap between Beasley and Mayo/Bayless?

    We don't have the $$$$$$ for Artest...but WOW...

    Always been a huge fan of his game.

    Him + Marion + Wade + #2 pick makes us a top 4 seed no questions asked.

    Really? How could you like this freak man? Anyways he's a shadow of what he was in Indiana, much less Chicago. He plays like he doesnt care at all.

    Good article with numbers.


    We will be able to add a 5 million dollar player + our draft pick. We will be a luxury tax team..but we can get creative with a deal and try to create more space.

    our year to go crazy is 2009. (Boozer, Brand)

    Really?

    He scored 20.5 ppg (45% shooting) with 5.8 rpg and 3.5 assists. All the while being a lockdown defender.


    he is as good as he ever was. Especially since he has to share the basketball in Sacramento..and in indiana he was looked at as a #1 option along with JO.

    He is a stud.

    Heat turned down a trade from the Grizz. they offered their pick, Rudy Gay and Conley for our pick.

    -as per Izzy Gutierrez. (On 790 with zazlo)

    AND THEY TURNED IT DOWN.

    Word is that the heat scouting staff threatened Riley with death if he even attempted to trade Beasley.

    You gotta remember that the deal as proposed doesn;t work and we would have needed to part with a player. Izzy doesn't know what player they wanted.

    But Izzy said that the deal as proposed had only those players as the ones that "mattered"... (maybe Mark Blount was the player to include?)

    Izzy's sources are garbage, but if true, I don't know if I turn that deal down. And we all know how much I love Michael Beasley, I mean, damn. Rudy Gay is an All-Star caliber player right now, Mike Conley has the potential, and whatever you get at #5 should be a solid player - I'm guessing Brook Lopez or Kevin Love.

    G - Mike Conley
    G - Dwyane Wade
    F - Rudy Gay
    F - Shawn Marion
    C - Brook Lopez or Kevin Love

    That team is absolutely stunning on paper. Imagine Brand or Boozer instead of Marion next summer.

    Oh well, I'm happy with Michael Beasley!! :up:

    Luc Richard Mbah a Moute F (UCLA) is who Chad Ford has in his Mock.



    DeAndre Jordan is dropping like a rock. he is approaching the point where I trade up to get him.
