ASK IRA: Does Stephen Jackson make any sense?
Q: Hey Ira, what is this I'm hearing about trading for Stephen Jackson? I like him as a player, but isn't his contract for three more years on top of this one? -- Jimmy. A: Yup, topping out at $10 million in 2012-13. And the only way that works while preserving 2010 cap space is if it is for Mic...
i would not trade any future first round picks for a 1 yr rental of a PG

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...
chad ford posted a new insider story about teams that can sign wade or lebron can someone please post here if your an insider

A difficult ledger when considering Iverson
So here we are, back at the intersection of Allen Iverson and free agency. The high-scoring point guard is still available; the Heat certainly could use more at point guard. So where is this thing headed? Perhaps it's time to break out the scale. ...
i think the biggest pro to signing iverson would be the ability to reduce wade's minutes and still have a competitive team, if our real team is going to come in 2010 i dont want in any way to wear wade down this next year

ok so if joe johnson sings an extension now the 2010 free agent pool is decreasing by the day.

Who's willing to play second fiddle to Chalmers?
Yes, Mario Chalmers had a pleasant rookie season for a second-round pick in 2008-09. But we're not talking Derrick Rose here, or even Russell Westbrook. Yet if you didn't know better, you'd swear that it was Chalmers, not Heat teammate Michae...
The last time we were big free agent money spenders we signed Eddie Jones and Brian Grant to max contracts, im starting to worry that our 2010 is going to look more like a repeat of that.

Standing Pat: Story of the Heat's offseason
Debate, if you will, whether change is good. What can't be debated, however, is the stark lack of change this offseason by Pat Riley and the Heat. How stark? Only two of the NBA's 30 teams have f...

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...
im ok with signing odom for the midlevel five years, but if we do a sign and trade and he is a $9-10 mil player at 35 then we are not getting any value. you just dont sign a 30 year old player for that much. which is why the lakers are not doing it.

if we are going to trade our expiring contracts for players i think a good partner would be golden state as they have alot of contracts and some they need to move, i would like to acquire stephen jackson from them for blount and filler or something. Jackson can shoot the 3 defend and handle the ball a little bit. any thoughts

Heat at 13, but is it finished?
Guaranteed Contract No. 13 was put into place Wednesday, with the signing of Jamaal Magloire. What makes the 13th contract so significant is that is the total Heat President Pat Riley said the team may carry this season, due to its position against the dol...
ok the pacers waived jamal tinsley do we sign him for 1 yr as backup or we cant do anything until this odom thing plays out

Pat Riley won't be bullied, Boozer-ed
Pat Riley won't be dictated to. Dictators rarely are. It is why the Allen Iverson chatter has faded. And it is why, in the wake of Carlos Boozer's recent round of lobbying, Riley released this statement: "We listen to all inquiries, but there is nothing going ...
bosh looks more and more done i did not realize below about jack signing
The signing of Jarrett Jack, who was roommates with Bosh for his one season at Georgia Tech, could be as much an attempt to convince Bosh to stay in Toronto as it is to improve the team on the court, the Toronto Star reports.

this whole free agency is starting to remind me of when we signed mo williams to an offer sheet just to have it matched and we end up with someone like smush parker. as we are waiting to get odom which sounds unlikely, other deals are happening, matt barnes, ramon session probably about to be signed, and im sure other teams are working on getting boozer, i dont see anything worth waiting for in 2010, bosh is out lebron is out, only amare left with his injury history do you sign him to a max deal

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...

Lamar or bust: The salary-scale factor
So now Ron Artest is on the case, pressing Lamar Odom to remain with the Lakers and pushing for a partnership between the two Queens, N.Y., legends. Then again, if Kobe Bryant putting in a call wasn't enough to close Lamar's Lakers negotiations, then ...
getting boozer makes most sense one year contract and then if nothing comes of 2010 he is already on roster if not go afer bosh

Sizing up the small stuff
OK, no problem here waiting on Lamar Odom. That, after all, could trigger Carlos Boozer and other seismic moves by the Heat. The patience with the big picture is understandable. But, as the Heat waits, the small stuff tends to get overlooked, just as was th...
trading beas for boozer makes no sense then we still have haslem and have to bench him. it would need to be haslem and parts or picks for boozer and play beas at the 3

Boozer now rather than later?
Utah's approach with Portland's offer sheet for Paul Millsap bears watching when it comes to Carlos Boozer. Should the Jazz match the offer and retain Millsap, it would mean Boozer and his expiring contract are not long for Salt Lake City. ...
