We signed Henry Walker, he was a teammate of Beasley in Kansas State. Very athletic big, big issue is his knees though, has had multiple knee injuries. Think thats why he never became a lottery pick because almost everyone had him as a lotto lock back then. Lets see what we got in him.
They didn't expect that from Love and he's still something different from LeBron and Kyrie. Wiggins is very similar. I don't think there's any way they would have chose Wiggins over Love.
Sorry but im glad Davis is likely done for the game. Hes been killing us so far in the first quarter. Maybe now we can settle down..
Turnovers killed us yesterday. And, now we have about 5 turnovers in the first 5 minutes of this game. I am so sick of it. Take that possible lottery pick from New Orleans and spend it on a damn PG.
If Jason Terry is still getting playing time, then what was the point of the trades???? I give up. Just let the scrub start.
Harden 0-6 Beverly 0-7 Ariza 1-4 Motiejunas 1-3 I guess Corey Brewer and Josh Smith are the only ones who came to play today. Harden is sitting the corner shooting 3s. WTF is going on. You're at home, damnit.
I hate friday/saturday nighht basketball. It is amateur weekend every weekend, you can always expect stupid play.
Back-end of a back-to-back with a new PG...ugh. Wade still getting back in the groove. Wing play tonight has been terrible, though. Very tough to win in the NBA when your wings play like this. Lot more pressure/responsibility on Ennis to develop into a solid option, and for Deng to play more consistently on the offensive end on a nightly basis.
Some ruthless posts in RGM Heat board .. lol I don't post there much anymore because the things they call out our team for is ridiculous a lot of the time... but sheesh... "Bosh's lungs are going to blow out watching this team play on TV" "This game gave me a blood clot.." Some are also expressing regret for trading for Goran already... Never too early for some Heat fans...........
Yea that's stupid on a lot of levels, glad this board doesn't put up with that BS....not that anyone here would even stoop that low.
I know it's premature but I really hope Dragic re-signs with us. Losing Bosh and after looking pretty flat tonight, it doesnt look good although I do believe we can still get into playoffs despite Bosh being out the rest of the year. But, it would suck if we missed the playoffs and Dragic ends up signing with LAL, and we lost two first round picks for a guy who only ended up playing 29 games for us.. However, I will continue to think positively. I mean it could be worse, I could be a fan of my hometown team, the 76ers. Lol
Bad in the first half, really good in the third quarter when Spoelstra put the ball on his hands. First half Spoelstra was making him play off the ball a lot. He hasnt had a practice with us yet so I guess I understand easing his way in but still, it was frustrating to watch... I dont want the ball on Wade or Chalmers hand if Goran is in, they should be playing off the ball. Im sure we will see the offense run through him more like it did in the third quarter..
The Lakers are one of the worst teams in the league, I don't see him leaving the Heat to sign with such an awful team.
You can safely assume the Lakers are not picking up Hill's, Sacre's and Clarkson's options next season. They will have plenty of money to offer Love and Dragic, plus sign their first round pick. It's a lot of dominos to try to knock down and they will hope to accomplish it. My guess is Dragic stays in Miami. He knows we're built for success next season. Lakers will go after a RFA like Knight IF, and it's a big IF, Kevin Love signs with them. That will be the first domino they try to knock down. If Love doesn't sign they're just going to build through the draft and wait for Kobe's contract to disappear. which is 2016 offseason. I'm shocked they didn't go after some expiring contracts for Nick Young and Ryan Kelly. But oh well. Nick Young is getting paid MLE and he's shooting something like 34% on the field.
Nice article on Dragic and his impact on the Heat. It will be exciting to finally have a true PG that can stretch the defense and put them on their heels. http://www.nba.com/heat/dragic-ball
We're gonna have a hell of a team next season that's for sure. I just hope everyone can stay healthy for a ****ing change.
I hope Love does go to LA. I'd love to sit back and LOL at Lebron for getting Love on a one year rental and losing Wiggens.
I hope your right, but he has already states them as a team he wouldnt mind signing with. Add on top of that, the Lakers are in the same division as the Suns, I think that has some strong appeal for Dragic too. Im as hopeful as you are that he re-signs with us but I know it is far from a done deal and I do believe he will more then likely end up testing the market.
Dragic pushed for the trade to preserve his Bird Rights. He wanted a team of his choice to have them. Any stuff about the Lakers is solely a warning that there won't be any discounts, he wants the max. In other news, Skolnick saying that he's hearinf that McBob will be back before the end of the season.
Right, so if we dont offer him a max deal, you can lock it in that he will be testing the market and more then likely be sogning elsewhere.
That was his team, his familys team growing up, he wouldnt even sign for a five year deal he will just take a 2 year deal with an opt out clause for he can get paid more in 2016.
We wouldn't have traded for him if we weren't prepared to offer a max deal. The guy has been here 1 day. It's silly to stress about this now
My point was, and I didn't word this properly, I don't see why he would turn down the max with us to go to a team with a ton of questions like the Lakers. He wants to play for a marquee team and he wants the max and we will give it to him.
Riley will give Dragic the max. He wouldn't have traded for him if there wasn't a handshake deal in place. Dragic is not going to the Lakers. Riley is not getting punked twice this millenium.
Boozer might not be bought out after all. I have heard it is not so easy to just sign Blatche out of China. There is a process. So, our best option could be to have McBob come back from injury.
I believe Scholnick (sorry if I butchered that) said he told Spo he could play 8 min a night right now at a recent practice. Nevermind, it was Goodman. https://twitter.com/JoeGoodmanJr/status/569270360480227328 "Josh McRoberts yelled at Spoelstra's today, "I can give you eight minutes tonight." Spoelstra then says McRoberts not ready."
IMO ill only be good with it if he is 100% and in basketball shape. If not no point.. Hell im afraid of the rest of the season, with the way the season has been going for us god knows what other injury comes in the next 28 games..
Skolnick tweeted an update over the weekend that there is growing belief McRoberts could return to the lineup soon.
