wow..Beasley is doing pretty good on the offensive threat in Durant..yet Haslem can not defend well on a guy that averages 15 points a game...When Beasley left the game, the Thunder goes on a run..More reason to trade haslem
Arroyo: Fancy passes or passing fancy?
The raves came Tuesday, just as they did a year ago at this time. Last October, the gushing was about Shaun Livingston's passing, the way the former first-round pick moved the ball during one particular practice. Less than three months later, Livingston was gone, to now meet the Heat as a member...
Eric Dampier's unguaranteed contract along with Josh Howard for Jermaine O'neal.. Mark gets a Center that can play better than Dampier offensively and We get a center that rebounds which we need. We also get a scoring threat in Howard, a good option for Wade.. PG:Chalmers SG:wade SF:Howard PF:Beasley C:Dampier bench:Lucas?, Cook, James Jones,Haslem, and Joel
Spurs 95, Heat 93
Observations from Sunday's 95-93 exhibition loss to the Spurs at AmericanAirlines Arena: No Dwyane Wade, Jermaine O'Neal, Quentin Richardson and Chris Quinn for the Heat. No Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili for the Spurs. Duncan and Ginobili didn't even make the trip. How can anyone, in good consci...
WOW, SO... When our starters go out, the Spurs come back yet.. when we have 1 minute left, SPo is not going to change the lineup.. I know its preseason, but we should get a win to boost the team's confidence. We R probably the winless team in the league
Point guard should have been addressed previously
This is why the Heat needed a veteran point guard in camp. No, not because of the strained rib muscle that will sideline Dwyane Wade for at least Sunday's exhibition against the visiting Spurs.And, no, not because of the sprained right foot that has backup point guard Chris Quinn in a walking bo...
Jermaine O'neal, chalmers, and 1st for Baron Davis and Chris kaman.. Clippers get a huge expiring, allow time for Deandre to become their future Center and get young.. they will have a future with telfair, Chalmers, Gordon, Thornton, Griffin, and Jordan..We can quickly contend with those guys and trade haslem and wright for Gerald Wallace

Jermaine O'Neal nad a pick for Corey Maggette and Monta Ellis.. This can finally provide us some decent offense and I think this will give teams to much if a problrm since we can have 4 scoring threats in Beasley, wade, Monta, and Maggette.. Magloire can be our Center while we can sign a center for a minium
PG:MOnta/Chalmers
SG:wade/Cook
SF:Corey/James Jones/Q. rich
PF: Beasley/haslem
C:Magloire/Joel
What we think Dwyane Wade's thinking
The comments are never intended as cutting. Instead, they simply roll off Dwyane Wade's tongue innocently as he answers the usual innocuous questions after practice. Earlier this week in Orlando, when asked about the Heat's uneven performance in its exhibition opener in Detroit, he offered, "We ...
So...We got 3 good contracts to expend: Haslem , O'Neal, and Wright.. WHo do we think we can get with them? haslem, wright, and a pick for Gerald Wallace and O'Neal for Baron Davis and Chris kaman
Beas joins the threes; will it be with ease?
It makes sense because it makes the most sense. No, Michael Beasley is not a prototypic small forward. And if Udonis Haslem wasn't entrenched at power forward, the Beasley experiment likely never would have been necessary.But starting Beasley at small forward is the right move for this team. At ...
Outlaw and blake for haslem and yakhouba
At a personnel turning point
Spoke recently to an agent who represents a journeyman point guard and he explained that nothing likely will get done with clients such as his until the Ramon Sessions and Allen Iverson situations are settled. Sessions on Friday signed a four-year, $16 million offer sheet with the Timberwolves, ...
LOL..Its like de javu...Same articles for the past month? I think Pat Riley is waiting until the 2010 trading deadline.. Thats the time period when the lottery teams gets eliminated from playoff contention and they will start unload big contracts..Like maybe the Clippers...I seriously think the Clippers should start rebuilding and not mix in old veterans and young players..They have a nice core of Eric Gordon, Thornton, Griffin, and Jordan..Build on that core. Riley should start giving Wade help before he leaves the HEAT. We need help at the 1 and the 5. I think the 2010 free agency is a pretty overrated for us beside resigning wade.. Lebron won't come, and Amare and Bosh plays the 4, which Beasley plays.i don't think Beasley can handle the 3.. so Beasley is our 4. We can trade O'Neal, Quinn, and 1 st round for Baron Davis and Chris Kaman..There stocks are pretty low cause of last season, but i think they will be healthy for next season. The Clippers were moving BD and Kaman when they almost reached a deal with the Rockets when the almost traded T-Mac. With the addition of Wade, we can aim for 2nd seed in the EAST and it looks betetr than the 2003 team we had..In 2010, all we should care about is resigning Wade, adding some bench players and a quality 3.

I think we should not wait for 2010 cause Its mainly Bosh, amare, and Lebron..we r not getting Lebron and i doubt beasley can play the 3,so we r not gonna get bosh or amare..Better to win now befor wade leaves..O'Neal+ 2 1st rounders for Baron Davis, Kaman, and al thornton...Clippers get a massive relief and we can contend
Updating Iverson; bye to Bowen
One point to touch on and one touching moment worth noting. First the look ahead.Yes, Allen Iverson sent out more signals Thursday. But from a Heat perspective, it appears to be little more than smoke. From his Twitter feed, Iverson offered "I will really be glad when this is done! It feels lik...
Look...When denver had Iverson, they were a 50 win team and made it to the playoffs in the competitive west....They had Anthony carter and iverson as guards where we have chalmers and wade HUGE upgrade ,An iverson and wade backcourt will crush carter and iverson..then there is beasley and melo..Whhen given the minutes, Beasley can play at the same level as Melo can back in 2008. Denver's PF was Martin which beats us at the 4 where we have haslem since martin is betetr than haslem in offensive..If O'Neal is healthy, then he can play better than 2008 Camby..So i say we can be a 50 win team that makes the 4th seeded and gets knocked out in 2nd round
What Allen Iverson is thinking
Yes, we know that Pat Riley last week said a move toward a veteran at point guard would come via trade instead of free agency. Fine. But as long as Allen Iverson is still on the market, and until the Heat acquires that veteran point guard, nothing can be set in stone. Put it this way: You would ...
Shavlik can get some minutes at the center spot.. talented and productive player when given the minutes..if we sign him, trade haslem for blake and outlaw...Outlaw is clutch and a good shooter unlike scrub quetin who shoots under 40%.
Is there a power forward in the house?
Considering where the depth chart stands at power forward, it hardly comes as a surprise that the Heat is looking at the likes Trail Blazers free agent Shavlik Randolph. No, landing a player who has appeared in only 32 games over the past three seasons hardly is optimal. But the Heat has to star...
haslem and quinn for Travis Outlaw and Blake...Portland gets a veteran leader Haslem where they need a backup PF..And Blake would be a good PG. This would give minutes to Bayles also, their future PG..Whille we get a legit SF and a good backup PG.. and the SF scrubs(Yak, Q rich, and Wright) can be our new cheerleaders and beezer can finally play his natural position
Point guards and a point on Beasley
It turned out to be somewhat of a two-for-one Friday when it came to Heat insight. First, Pat Riley, through a team spokesman, requested that the volume be turned down when it comes to linking this week's European departure of second-round pick Patrick Beverley to the possible addition of a vete...

Q-Rich and a 1st for Gerald Wallace..Report that to Riley, since Bobcats are shedding salary planning to move the team
White Chocolate melted for Magic opportunity
Once the door opened for Jason Williams with the Magic, any interest from the Heat would have been rendered moot. Orlando is where J-Will wanted to play from the moment the Heat made it clear in 2008 he would not be invited back. Somewhat ...
If it were not for the damn ricky davis trade, we would not worry about the pG sicne we could have drafted Ty Lawson..a steal in the draft by the nuggets.. he is the reincanation of andre miller, who the philly skipped him for overrated Jrue Holiday
No point in a point guard right now
Pat Riley was incredibly quick, through a Heat spokesman, to shoot down speculation about anything pending, or even brewing, with free-agent point guard Jamaal Tinsley. Why? Foremost, because this is the second week of August and Riley long has ...
quentin is a 39% Fg shooter and 36% on 3s.. This trade was pointless..Lets hope riley trade him maybe for G. Wallace since Bobcats R shedding salary just like what they did to Emeka, their franchise player for a offesnive limited injury pprone player....Or we can send quentin and haslem for boozer

reason why with the lost of charlie v, the bucks are looking to get warrick and bucks already have luke ridnour and jennings.. btw, idc what riley says about b-easy..Many great PFs in this league are crappy in D.. look at Zach(20/10,dirk,amare,bosh,west,boozer,rashard lewis and charlie v..They are great Pfs yet they are soft and bad in D..So beezer better start this upcoming season, throw haslem and yak for gerald wallace.. they are shedding salary
Jermaine O'Neal taking the next step
A key, perhaps the key, to Pat Riley's plan to bridge the Heat's growth from last season's resurrection to next summer's free agency is the contribution of Jermaine O'Neal this coming season. O'Neal, who has been a regular in the weight room and on the court at...
Now that we can use our MLE again, use the same deal for odom and use it on ramon sessions.. dude can ball. 12.4 points and 5.7 assists in 27.4 minutes while Chalmers only ahd 4.9 assists in 33 minutes..After that we trade haslem for travis outlaw or gerald wallace
Riley's patience not rewarded, but should be praised
No, he didn't get his man. From that perspective, Pat Riley's pursuit of Lamar Odom was a failure. But the Lakers also didn't get their man back until July 30, which meant that the Heat posed a legitimate threat, made Odom at least think about a South Florida re...
Since the Bobcats are shedding slaaries, I think G. Wallace will be on the market..Trade haslem and Wright for Wallace, with emeka missing and the lack of offensive game Tyson have, a power rotation of diaw, tyson, and haslem would make the cats efficent.. Then they have a guard rotation of henderson, augustin, and bell...getting rid of walalce would give more minutes to henderson..then wirght can get garbage minutes along with radmonvic backing up diaw at the 3
A logical endgame: Udonis for Lamar
So the Lakers don't want to commit significant long-term money to a 30-year-old Lamar Odom? Understood, considering where they find themselves against the dollar-for-dollar luxury tax. So the Heat isn't as concerned because just about...
If we dont get lO, we should give up our MLE for ramon sessions..SInce Bobcats are cutting cost when Hornets hustled the cats and dont forget MJ is the GM of the bobcats, we can steal Wallace.. Like Wright, Jones, and 1st pick for Wallace's 8.5 mill a year..Aquiring Wallace would be similar to Mo to Cavs..plus wallace has an all around game kind of like pippen
Just another dead end for Dorell?
Understand, the goal a year ago in extending a two-year contract to Dorell Wright was not necessarily long-range planning, but rather the fact that a multiyear deal gave the Heat the right to trade Wright in 2008-09. That didn't happen. Instead, Wright never go...
Ha!, Amare is going to resign with PHX suns too..if U have not read his articles, he says he wants to resign, so that really leaves Joe Johnson
Riley's fascination with 2010 free agency
LeBron James isn't going anywhere; Cleveland's activity this offseason all but assures that. Chris Bosh seems to be growing rather comfortable in Toronto; the Raptors certainly are making their best effort to retain the forward. And yet, Pat Rile...
i mean sign and trade ramon for b-easy
The stuff of championships? Or a team for the aged?
With so many moving parts, it is a heck of a stretch to assume that the Heat can have it all and have it now. But, for a moment, consider the longshot possibilities, that Lamar Odom remains in such a snit with the Lakers that he takes a two-thirds pay c...
nah...If we get Odom and Boozer, i see sign and trade Beasley for ramon sessions

Haslem, wirght, and trade exception for boozer...the Jazz saves money
At this stage, why not a mid-level move?
Make no mistake, Pat Riley is not a fan of the mid-level exception, at least when it comes to spending the entire sum on a single-player. He calls it "one of the worst contracts to sign." He means, of course, it is one of the worst when extending it out the f...
The HEAT should do 3 things this offseason:
1. Haslem for Travis Outlaw-we get a good SF that can score while Portland get a veteran with championship experiences.
2. Sign Session NOW before any other team gets to him...The dude averaged 12 points and 5.3 assists in 27 minutes..He can be our future PG sign him for 6 million per year.
3. Trade chalmers for Deandre Jordan. The Clippers need a young PG. BD is washed up.
PG:Session/Beverley SG:Wade/Cook SF:Outlaw/James Jones PF:B-easy/O'Neal C:Deandre/O'Neal
Pat on the ('09) Prowl
You really didn't think Riley was going to stand pat, did you? The woe-is-me, wait-and-see approach isn't really his thing. It just isn't. He admitted as much during a recent meeting in his office at AmericanAirlines Arena. No, the Heat isn't in financial position to be big spenders - or middl...
