I didn't find <i>Beasley</i> mentioned on the link that you posted in the other thread. Odom Is Underestimating Lakers' Owner Jerry Buss OK, you made it up. I asked this question: <i> What is the incentive for Miami to do that deal?</i> To this point in time, you have given me other things, but none that can answer my original question. I realize that you are a Laker Fan, but it takes two sides to agree on a trade. Put yourself in the shoes of a Miami Heat fan or a member of Miami Heat management for two minutes and answer my original question. <i> What is the incentive for Miami to do that deal?</i>
The incentive is that they want Odom and the MLE is apparently not enough therefore the only other option is a sign and trade where Miami gives up one of their 4's (Beasley/Haslem) to open up minutes for Odom. But this is the crux of it.
Thank you I would be shocked if Miami did Beasley + Filler for Odom. Haslem could be considered, but then it becomes something that the Lakers might be hesitant to do. Not sure how Haslem would fit in as a sixth man because he is a different style of player than Odom. Also, the bigger the deal that Odom gets from Miami, the more salary the Lakers have to take back in a <i>Sign & Trade</i>. Perhaps something creative will be done.
Why don't you go wash your face, calm down and chill? I'm "proclaiming" anything of the sort. What a joke.
