Miami Heat Road To The Lottery Thread

I agree with you on that.

 

As long as we grab one of those two, I'll be happy.

 

My thing is, you can find a decent PF/SF for half the cost of Beasely. How often does a really good PG like Rose come along? Thats why Im bias towards Rose.

 

That post presence is horrible. Not too sure how talented that lineup is, either.

 

I think I like the Wade to Chicago rumor better.

 

There is not a chance in hell we trade Wade,

 

Yeah, they did mention that we MAY trade him or that we might keep him depending on the situation.

 

I really hope we do keep him as well. I also heard that Marion isn't opting out.

 

Definitely. For one we need to find a point guard if we draft Beasley.

 

A few years ago, sure. But now, after that injury, and with a few more years on him? Not sure I'd want him, especially if Carlos Boozer and/or Chris Bosh want to come to Miami.

 

I think Brand is more realistic than those two.

 

Did anyone really think he was going to opt out? I mean where else is he going to get 17.8 MIL?? The bigger question is, does the Heat resign him or try to trade him??

About trading Beasley, all I know is Riley's track record in trades is pretty darn good. In fact, I'd say there are not many better at it than he is. However, I am like King, hoping he is not making a move just bc his ego can't handle getting "leftovers"

 

Hm...what about Marion and JWill to the Lakers for Odom and Fisher? If we take Beasley of course..

 

Nope.

We gotta use Marion (if we trade him) to get a all-star type. Odom is not it. We should not be in the business of handing the Lakers cap space so they can sign another star.

 

some recent chad ford draft notes:

in all honesty, mike miller, mike conley, and kevin love might be worth trading michael beasly. i still rather have beasly, but this trade would give us the point guard, shooter and low post presence we need. and i've always loved conley.

i still think i would keep beasley, but this is not a bad trade.

 

Conley is probably my second favorite PG in the NBA. If I was them, I would do that. That's a good deal. I'm not a big fan of Kevin Love but that works.

 

I dont think we need another all-star type. We already have Wade. What we need is a good center/post presence, and better role players. We dont have either right now. Haslem is a good rebounder, but not much else. I think his game has deteriorated. I was a Haslem fan, but I think hes gotten lazier with his game.

 

I think you got a playoff bound team. I'm not a fan of Farmar but he is pretty good.

 

Marion is better than both combined.

 

You know, if we somehow trade Marion and go down to the 5-7 range, I think we should take Joe Alexander.

 

If we draft Beasley, i really hope we keep him. I'd rather not trade the pick.

 

Definitely agree.

 

I would do it.

 

Disagree completely. if I could ..I would have 12 all-star types on this team.

Ask the Celtics how they feel about their 3 all-star types.

We need a second fiddle to Wade...Marion is a great 3rd option.

We need more than that. We need a defensive minded SF/swing guy..a shooter at the #3 spot..and two bruisers to play the 4 and 5.

That is not mentioning the obvious..which is a PG.

 

Farmar looks promsing. But i wouldn't do that deal.

 

Farmar couldn't guard me.

EL PASO.

 

Ron Artest? You can find another good shooter and a decent post guy pretty easily. We let Kapono go but didnt replace him with anyone worthy of the shooter role. Im more inclined to somehow grabbing Derrick Rose than settling for Beasley.

 

I do, but hes better than JWill at this point in his career and Chris Quinn.

 

I don't think Artest can be had. I think that ship has sailed.

We gotta worry about just getting Wade a sidekick for the long term and then worry about this laundry list of people we need.

In order..we need:

A supremely talented player at any position except the #2. (Brand, Bosh, Boozer,....Beasley?)

A PG.

A Power rotation player.

A shooter.

A defensive specialist swing man.

 

Is Haslem on the block?

 

NO Artest....please, I've already watched him destroy one franchise.

 

If we get Rose or Mayo, or trade for a point guard, then J-Will is a backup.

 

I think hes gone, for durability and salary reasons.

 

I think he'll be on a new team next year.
