How can the Heat possibly move up in the draft?

"Yeah, it's Micky again. No, just one martini today so far -- I'm all business, In fact I've got a deal for you. Listen: I have three vintage towels, unwashed, that absorbed Shane Battier's sweat. That's Mr. Intangibles, as you know, and ... hello? Hello?"

Hilarious. :grin:

Moving up in the draft, however, will be difficult for the Heat.

They have the 26th pick and point guard Norris Cole to offer a team -- but that's about it. If Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh opt out, Justin Hamilton will be the only player the Heat have under contract for next season. And the team can't offer Wade or Bosh in a trade until the players officially decide whether or not to opt out by Monday. The team can't even offer a first-rounder next season because the Cleveland Cavaliers have the Heat's pick in 2015 if it falls between Nos. 11-30.

Will a package of Cole, No. 26 and a first-round pick in 2017 be enough to lure a team into a deal? The Bulls and Celtics have been exploring trade options and could be enticed. Chicago is looking for a backup point guard to Derrick Rose, but it may get stronger offers from elsewhere.

Guess this has to happen to make Lebron happy:

Rockets should draft him at #25 or move up a little.

If LeBron went to the Lakers would LeBron be the leader and not Kobe?

Clicked it 15 times before it had anyone going to the Rockets.. It was bosh, while James and Wade stayed in Miami, and Love and melo to the Bulls....

Surprisingly, I would be ok with that... All that talent stays in the East to fight each other in the finals, then would probably get to face us...IMO
