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. ...
Because I don't see things working for Toronto. A new head coach and Hedo are not going to make that a good team. The only thing we have to worry about is a sign and trade. Also, out on the horizon, is the possibility of James. Shaq may o may not do it, but I say that if Cleveland does not make it to the finals, and further, to a game seven, James is no longer going to be there. I am not saying that he will be in Miami, but definitely not in Cleveland where they have sold their soul much like we sold ours in 2006. Anyone should realize that if they don't do it now, they are screwed for at least three years.
James, Bosh playing the 2010 waiting game
The 2009 offseason essentially is over for LeBron James and Chris Bosh. Both have decided to bypass the option of extending their contracts this summer, with the focus now on their 2010 opt-outs. Dwyane Wade hasn't made as public a proclamation as James ...
I think things turned out great this off season. The fact that we did not have to trade Beasley for Bosh will be a windfall in hindsight a year from now

After reading LO's comments at the Lakers press conference I am sure we were used. Glad it backfired on him and he had to take less money.
Free agency: Sorting through the bargains
With the Lakers' re-signing of Lamar Odom, Phase I of free agency essentially is over, with most of the big-ticket items off the board. While some notable names remain, such as David Lee, Glen Davis, Ramon Sessions, Linas Kleiza and Raymo...

I realize some of it is in jest, but I think some guys take it seriously. Either way, it is boring to read. Can't we just focus on the Heat and stop making bets and having arguments. It is sad that I am so desperate for sports news in this dread june-august sports desert that is known as baseball season, that I will even read a page of you guys having silly cat fights.
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...
and why cant I edit my freaken stupid typos

Oh I forgot to add that Beasley is a much better shooter than alot of the guys that have come through here from 6ft to 21ft, and his three point range looks promising. I am actually not that bummed that we did not get Odom, because now we can see if Beasley will be what we want him to be. I can accept that as the focus of our season, even if we don't get passed the first round. THEN we can really hope for something big in 2010. I know it is only Hope, but when he has some cash, in Riles I trust (even though his track record is filled with some pretty egregious mistake.)

You guys realize the Bulls drafted Pippen right?
Maybe we will get a decent draft pick who pans out to be a top player.
I can only hope that the Heat get such a talented player, hell who knows maybe they can draft a 20/10 guy.
Wait a minute....

Great Post. I dunno if Beasley will turn out to be all we want him to be. He is a scoring machine, but a little too soft around the rim, for me. His stuff gets rejected about as much as Walker's did when he was here. The difference is he can finish (when there is no one there to block it) much better than Walker, when he seemed to throw thing up at the rim rather than shoot. Also, the talk of his lack of athleticism has me worried. Don't get me wrong I REALLY want this guy to succeed and be a star, I just dont know if it will happen.

Does anybody write for this paper anymore. The reporting the past 6 weeks has been egregiously slow and bad. I know it is a dead time for sports, but no ask ira (especially when he admits he has a back log of questions) or blog piece for either ira or omar on a Sunday is ridiculous!!!! C'mon guys, get with it!
One small step for Riley, a giant leap for Beasley
Until Friday, the concept of Michael Beasley at small forward mostly was an abstract, one that Heat coach Erik Spoelstra carefully attempted to steer clear from. But then the Heat allowed Jamario Moon to leave for the Cavaliers and was left with the middling cast ...

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...
Where does Wade call out Beasley for being slow? Paste a link if you can.
Andre Miller available. Now what?
The Heat's interest in Andre Miller in recent years has been undeniable. The problem has been that Miller has remained out of reach as he was shuffled from Denver to Philadelphia. But now that appears to be changing, with the 76ers making clear that their free-...

How to save '09-10: The Kirilenko, Redd plan
Yes, many, if not all, of this summer's prime free agents are gone, not that the Heat, with its limited salary-cap funds, had much of a chance. But contrary to the prevailing pessimism, that doesn't mean there no longer are the means to make a big splash this su...
The problem with Wade is that he has been poisoned by everybody tells him,especially his handlers and new "friends". He has been poisoned by money (I have always said that you really learn about a man by his choices when all options are there for him). The narcissism growing inside him is moving to epic proportions. Its tuff for me because I really enjoyed his humbleness and always hoped it would remain. He is just spoiled. Look at how his reaction to ref calls over the year. The last two years all he does is throw a tantrum when he does not get a call he wants (not to mention not get back on defense.) Don't get me wrong, I still love to watch the kid play, but it is not the same when he acts like a little bytch.

Eddie I think that is the reality of our situation. We may add Iverson to appease the DIVA but nothing major is going to happen until he re signs. I actually think things are falling in line for 2010. Bosh is not going to get traded so Beasley should be safe. My dreams of a DIVA, Beasley, Bosh, LJ or Amare seem to be safe with Turkolu in Toronto, for now they will not trade Bosh and I don't think they are any better than a 2nd round team.

No thanks to Andre Miller. He is old and cannot hit the three regularly. Plus he may cost us something. AI will be a challenge. I think we are screwed unless the DIVA re signs this year. Man, I miss the 2003-2006 wade.

The panthers are a joke and have made hockey meaningless here in Florida. I can't believe I am saying this but I wish Wayne was still the owner. How this team got their own arena is beyond me. What a waste of money.
The Saddledome is Now Home: Jay Bouwmeester Signs With Flames ... Panthers Lose Another One
Cross Jay Bouwmeester off the list of coveted free agents come tomorrow as the 25-year-old former Florida Panther is going back to his native Alberta (that's in Canada, eh). According to our pals at TSN, Bo signed a five-year deal with the Calgary Flames just days after the Panthers traded hi...
