    i don't think they have any cap space, so absorbing mo or spoons contract isnt an option. it doesnt look like thay have anyone who can match salary's in a trade either. is there a way to ship one of our 4's to miami?

    They Have Haslem he is a little on the small side but he is an incredible leaper and better than any pf we haxe. He will start anddo well, so they don.t want or overpriced baggage.

    Why just Miami? There's a diesel moving East, most of the EC needs to stock up on frontline players.

    haslem is a decent prospect. but no way he is better than either motay or juwon. both of our 4s are proven scorers in this league, and each have certain skill sets. haslem has no skills yet, he cannot create his own shot, he cant shoot.

    hes just an active undersized eastern conference player. nothing special.

    Maybe Miami will pick up McDyess for cheap.

    PG: Wade
    SG: Jones
    SF: Butler (Rasual)
    PF: McDyess
    C: Diesel.

    Not very athletic and mobile.

    Juwan Howard would make a lot of sense for Miami. Riley obviously likes him. With Shaq coming, Miami has a small window of opportunity to go for the title the next couple of seasons, and they may want to surround Shaq with veterans rather than youngsters.

    I like Malik Allen's game. He has a very nice mid range shot and can play the 4 and 5.

    Haslem would also be an excellent addition. I've been saying for a while now that an athletic, quick, active power forward that rebounds and plays aggressive defense would be an ideal power forward next to Yao, and Haslem definitely fits that description.

    I doubt CD is that dumb. E. Jones play the same position as T-mac.

    Miami's biggest problem is the same as ours, they need a point guard who can play about 24 minutes a game.

    Heat has no cap spce, no valuable trade asset other than Shaq and Wade. They will suffer big time.

    unless we take jones there is no way we can make a trade with them...

    maybe if NJ loses out on kmart they will be interested. the best possibility seems to be mo for battie and either newble or ollie.

    T-Mac is apparently going to play the 3? Correct me if I'm wrong...anyway, I think it'd be able to net us a first round DP or something else usable as trade bait.

    Man, it's too bad Bob Love retired long ago. It would be cool to see a pf/c combo of Love/Shaq.

    there is no contract on that team except Wade that interest me. Too bad they don't have cap space or TE, otherwise I will more than happy to send Spoon their way.
