    He is like Nostradamus, his predictions are so weird and obscure that you can interpret them to mean almost anything so he is right even when he is wrong....

    but it is a lot of fun trying to figure out wtf he is talking about

    He clearly has connections to Nene and to the Suns.

    Wasn't Dinwiddle mentioned in this thread?:

    It would depend on if Pat Riley wanted to blow it up and tank a season to restock for the future, but if that's his plan I could see Morey asking about Dragic. Under normal circumstances we probably don't have anything that would entice Riley, but if he's doing a quick rebuild it might be possible. Adding a Wade replacement via draft to Winslow and whiteside would be a quick fix for the heat and only having Whiteside at the max would be beneficial for that team to sign guys next year (I'm assuming if Riley went this route he'd try and get Bosh off the books via a medical loophole versus trading him).

    This entire post is moot if Riley isn't thinking about a one year tank job, but if I'm Morey I'm at least making a call.

    Would love Dragic

    What on earth could we offer for him though?

    Could we trade Ariza for a young asset to entice them maybe?

    If they are rebuilding, young potential like Capela is a must. But won't be enough. But who else on our roster can entice them? Brewer? LLULLZ

    If Riley is trying to go young and tank a year he would need vet leadership to show the young guys he brings in how to win. He wouldn't necessarily need young talent because he'd be drafting high next year (at least trying to). Players like Bev and Ariza can be enticing because they've been around the block and come on great contracts, but more importantly won't dramatically affect the record of the team. Also, one thing the heat do need is picks. They are sucked dry in regards to picks. A core for the heat of draft pick/Richardson/Winslow/Whiteside with Bev and Ariza off the bench and money to spend on FAs next year seems like a total Pat Riley move.

    Two broke backs and one bench player. You think Riley is stupid, stupid, or stupid?

    those are the only young players the rockets have to offer. Herrel/whiteside combo wouldn't work for miami.

    Plus S&T player cannot be combined with other players in a trade, I think

    JJ Redick in this offense would be lethal. Too bad he cant handle the ball.

    I think it was Codman or someone else that mentioned that we would get another Brazilian and SweetLou...

    Not sure on the other Brazilian BUT someone mentioned birds... I combined that by Googling sweet Lou and Lou Hudson popped up, who played for Atlanta and Hawks are birds...

    We are trading for Paul Millsap? He has been involved in trade rumors...
