    I aree. I hope they collect those pilly use them. There are a lot of high quality players in this draft. I like harkless in the middle of the round, I like henson in the top 10 with his length and youth. I like drummond and his potential. If I got into range to draft those guys,that's who I would take. I'm a howard fan,no doubt, I just don't see the purpose wen he's going to walk. We've seen lebron,wade,and bosh take less to play together. That's extra yr many are claiming he wouldn't walk away from,he would probably walk away from.

    Both LeBron and Bosh were traded to the Heat, with their original team receiving multiple first-round picks in exchange for giving them the max deal in years. They gave up a couple pennies (in the grand scheme) to make it all work, which made for a feel-good headline, but they most certainly did not give up that extra year.

    LeBron and Bosh both were S&T's, under the old CBA - it's a new world out there.

    One way or the other it seems we're finally cashing our chips in.

    Howard, Josh Smith, or high lottery picks, something is happening.

    The heat could've signed both without sign and trade. The s&t gave them the extra yr,but they were signing with the heat regardless. The old teams gave them the extra yr and the heat gave them a 1st rd pick. The heat didn't have to do what they did.
