what is our draft pick situation for next year? 2 first round picks? is one of the picks lotto protected?
Heat's best starting 5, if we were honest;
Wade
Cook
Richardson
Beasley
Anthony (NOT JO)
Lineup choice: Column A or Column B
At least Erik Spoelstra was candid Monday, even if it does screw around with your fantasy draft. He isn't revealing his starting lineup until the day of Wednesday's season opener.While that means two more days of speculation, you can't really argue with the reasoning. "It's not that I'm tryi...
"I also don't understand why Riley goes out to say, I am not starting anybody over Chalmers, a second round pick and not the same approach is used towards Beasley, the 2nd overall pick of the draft."
BRAVO!
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 ...
Will never happen, best 5 for the Heat to start the season with...
Wade

Jones

FREE BEASLEY...start him at PF. Jones or Richardson at SF. Haslem off the bench. is it really that hard to see?

"besides Wade winning the ship in 06, what has Riley done for the heat in the last ~13 years?"
WHAT! nothing personal, but that is a dumb and ignorant thing to say...
how bout playoffs, winning the division, bring us from the Seikleys, Oggs and Grant longs of the world to T Hardaway, ZO, Mash, etc, etc. winning basketball is what Riles has brought for the last 13 years. what team are you watching?
Spoelstra on his point guards: They're fine
As the Heat enters the sink-or-swim portion of its preseason schedule, coach Erik Spoelstra is confident that point guards Mario Chalmers and Chris Quinn can find their stroke. Chalmers is 2 of 10 from the field, with three assists and five turnovers amid the Heat's 0-2 start. Quinn is 1 of 9 wi...
Q: Hey Ira, what do you think of putting Joel at center and slipping J.O. to power forward? I think with Chalmers, Wade and Richardson in the lineup, this could be the best defensive lineup the Heat could have. -- Emmanuel.
A: Actually, Anthony would play power forward in such an alignment, something Pat Riley has spoken of as a possibility. Management remains high on Anthony.
MAN, how come it is not obvious to start Beas at PF!! wow, the #2 pick in last years draft can't crack the starting lineup at his position! not from a lack of talent...

Is there anyway to see any of the Heat preseason games on TV or the internetS?

Playing the waiting game
No, Brevin Knight or Rafer Alston did not join the Heat at Tuesday's practice at Amway Arena here in Orlando. Neither did Jerry Stackhouse or Malik Rose. Fine. It is early, very early. Snap judgments in the wake of Monday's 87-83 exhibition loss in Detroit would be foolish. So perhaps next tim...
and there is no way Penny could of got the ball to Randy Moss in the first place...to fast for a duck.
Heat: Better than people think?
The theme at Monday's Heat media day was typical of what Erik Spoelstra has offered in his individual interviews in recent days, that this team can exceed expectations. Fair enough, that's what a coach is supposed to offer, and the type of sentiment that can't be put to any tangible test for ano...
"Chad has crap to throw to...we had good schemes last year and chad made a lot of plays out there with crap. Hes no Manning or anything like that, but u put him over there with randy moss and that offense and he puts up some insane numbers as well. Who made all the plays for us last year? Chad...Chad was always finding the open man in the defense and putting it right on the numbers."
WOW, KB, you love Penny a whole lot. wow.
man, sorry to break it you. Pennington sucks. He was a stop gap. he was hurting us with his weak arm and un-willingness to throw the ball DOWN THE FIELD. defenses stacked the line with no threat of throwing deep.
terrible QB. the search is on for the Phins to finally get a good / great QB...it has been 10 years.

Never-ending story: Wade's extension
So Dwyane Wade says he's done talking about signing a potential extension. So Wade's agent says mere hours later that further discussions are possible this season. So Pat Riley says today that the door remains open. So what's going on?Here's what: There are no definitive statements, no matter th...
Update, Odom is leaning towards the Heat! Yay!
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...

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...
the quiet before the storm...
This was different; this was competition
Two years ago, the Heat was used. Agent Mark Bartelstein had to establish a market for point guard Mo Williams, had to create leverage for the free agent in his negotiations with the Milwaukee Bucks. Even Pat Riley later acknowledged that he continued his pursuit of Williams too long, at the exp...
agree with Ira on this subject. Artest is the only player on that list I would give the full mid level to? Watson would of be nice for 1/2 of it...

Don't hold your breathe...
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...
yeah it is pretty funny, while all summer we have talked about signing or trading for;
Odom
Boozer
Iverson
AK47
Bosh
Amare
Sessions
we ended up with ?

"Cp3
Wade
Kobe
Lebron
Howard.
At least."
Don't know what the problem is...I would trade JO, Blount and Haslem for that!

NBA2k9 is the baddest!
I rember Haslem in Dirks face all game, every game, in the finals. we are lucky to have a guy that can match up defensively with a 6'8" or taller offensive weapon on the other team. know one else on the team brings what Haslem does.
Beasley is going to be a future all star. but like it or not Haslem will still start until we either get rid of him or bring in a quality SF. I would love wright but he is not starting over Haslem, with Spo as coach.
09/ 10 season, starting 5;
Chalmers
Wade
B Easy
Haslem
J.O.

"Haslem is a piece of crap and this year will be his last with Miami!"
KR, now I am down with you on Beas being a super stud for years to come and fantasy or not, we should do everything we can to target Bron Bron. BUT Haslem = crap. NO way man. you can't be a real Heat fan and think Haslem is crap. You should be grateful for what Haslem has given us through the years. He is truly a warrior, constant hustle, great defense (remember what he did to Dirk?), vocal leader, plays center when needed and leaves blood, sweat and tears on the court.
no need to rip Haslem b/c we love Beas!

"...Then, Ferry ate lebrons cap and they have no future, then walsh took over NY and now they cant sign 2 maxes, whethers its any 2 stars, and per the NBA cap rules, Only Miami can sign 2 maxes and have enuff left over for another Free Agent."
Dom, I assume any team, including the Knicks or Cavs, could trade a good high paid player to free up enough space to sign to max FA? no?

"But until LeBron James recommits to the Cavaliers and until Chris Bosh re-ups with the Raptors, there still is hope. And that hope is worth more than mucking up the salary cap with otherwise middling talents.
You wanted more Michael Beasley? You'll get exactly that now. Because now, 2009-10 is as much about Michael Beasley as it is any Heat player this side of Dwyane Wade"
YES, no more middling talents, MUCH MORE B EASY!

WOW, Ira's got me feelin' betta already! maybe there is a player out there that would be, younger, more talented, a better scorer and defender....hmmmm, how bout #23?
