Miami Heat Road To The Lottery Thread

Farmar...or no deal.

Sorry..I am not a big Odom fan.

 

Lol. I don't know if Marion is a better defender. He may be but Odom is also a VERY good defender who can guard multiple positions. Odom is also very talented but may not have the abilities of Marion. The thing about Odom that I like more than Marion is his rebounding. They put up the same numbers but Odom can sometimes get up to 18 boards in one game.

I think Odom is underrated by many. The guy possesses a good skill set. The age isn't far apart but it plays a big factor in this. Why? Because Odom won't want a large contract like Marion and would likely stick till 2010. Marion would be thirty and he will likely be looking for a deal that would pay him 11-12 million a year over a four year span and I wouldn't want to be paying Marion 11 million a year at the age of 33 or 34.

 

Speaking of Marion:

The Heat have inquired about Kings Forward Ron Artest. Artest asked to be traded out of Sacramento after a decision of not opting out. The Heat have stated that they would be willing to deal Shawn Marion for Ron Artest. The only question between the trade is if the Kings can include Kenny Thomas whose contract has two years, $18 million left.(Link)

 

BTW..some ASSCLOWNS voted this thread down to 4 stars.

Got a suspicion it is the Tragic fans.

Just a note. there are more of us than there are of you. Revenge will be exacted when the Official Orlando Tragic March to the second round thread opens up.

 

LMAO at Section. It wasn't me guys, don't worry. I hate the Tragic. I'm not a Heat fan but I like them more than the Tragic.


p.s. I don't look to well with the comments above since I live in Orlando lol.

 

Talked to my source this afternoon.

On Chalmers: "No PG ever beat us in orlando, he was the best GUARD at the summer league."

On if he will start: "Not ready, but earned alot of minutes so far."

On a possible Marion for Artest trade: "Defender/scorer, the type of player we WOULD trade marion for."

 

id be fine with Marion for Artest. Would prefer Odom though.

 

I bet its the Pisston fans, theyre are plenty of those here.
Or at least there were on... well lets just call it Fheaven Hin.

 

I agree. I doubt you see Brad Miller being traded though, he's serving a 5 game suspension for violating the substance abuse policy. I doubt anyone wants to touch him right now.

 

First time in his career this has happened. 5 out of 82 for prob. weed, or even pain killers possibly. If you can get him you get him. He's a quality player.

 

Yeah I agree that he's a quality player and it may be the first offense but it doesn't mean it won't be the second. .

 

Did they really think they would get Tinsley off their hands for a solid contributor like Haslem?

 

I tend to disagree,,,,but we all have our own opinions. I have followed Miller since he was a Bull and always been a fan. It would be amusing to see Miller and Artest traded to yet another team together. They have seemed to been a package deal through their whole careers. Miller, and Artest for Marion would be a steal, IMO. It prob. wont happen ,but..

 

You may be correct as you seem to have followed him longer than me. I first heard about him in Indiana. I'm a fan of his game but I have never been familiar with his character. When I made the comment that it could/may happen again, I didn't reflect it off his character. I meant it as that anything is possible.

As for the trade, I agree. I actually like Artest more than Marion despite the rebounding differentials. Artest is a son of a ***** who will do anything he can to make you frustrated on the court and I love that in him. He's a very good defender and can put up numbers offensively when asked to.

 

I want whatever Bird is smoking, Haslem for Tinsley? GTFO.

 

Bird has been a cancer for the Pacers from day one.....such a sad story, he is such an icon in Indiana. I thought he would be much better at this kind of thing then he is.

 

Dude, where do you get these pics?!

 

I think the Nuggets are crazy for not accepting Sean Williams. I know they need the cap but I doubt Williams is making much and hes a monster. Williams is one of my favorite players because of his intensity and athleticism. Also, whats up with Marcus Williams being offered in every deal that is proposed by the Nets? I heard he has constant weight issues. I'd still take him.

 

He wasn't that bad in college. He had a high assist average and shot decently. I thought he did well in college and I think he can be a starting PG in this league if he devotes himself to the game.

As for Sean Williams, I absolutely agree with you. The dude is sick and can guard anyone.

S.W.A.T. = Sean Williams Ate That

 

Plus the dude wears socks that I could probably sleep in...

 

Dude I'd be all over this...if he did it to Cleveland he'll do it to Utah. Man can you imagine how good Cleveland could have been?

 

Stugotz said even with a healthy Wade, Marion and Beasley the Heat would be no better than the 8th best team in the East.

I fart in his general direction.

 

Eh I completely disagree with him. I think they could be as high as a 3 seed and no lower than a 5.

 

sean williams+south beach=trouble

 

If he can behave in Jersey, I think he'd be fine in S. FL.

 

While looking at the US Olympics team jersey there, it reminded me that LeBron James suffered an ankle sprain today. Also, Dwight Howard is healthy and is back.

 

"Stoopid restaraunt!!!!"
