    I just realized that Mason is on the last year of his contract, and that means that Miami could make a serious run at Webber next year...

    If Mason resigns for less that could leave the Heat with a line-up of:

    Mourning
    Webber
    Mason
    Jones
    Carter/Hardaway

    That´s a scary team that would win the East for sure.

    So much for Hill and McGrady in Orlando, huh?

    I´m not sure about Miami´s cap situation after the trade, though.

    Could anyone shed some light on this?

    I don't have the figures, but with Jones on the max and Mourning on his massive contract, there's no way the Heat have enough money to go chasing after Webber.

    I think they'll win the East this year anyway; with
    Mourning
    Gatling
    Mason
    Jones
    Hardaway

    they have an all star at every position.. not bad... and only Hardaway is DEFINITELY past his prime...

    Not a bad starting 5, but they are thin on the bench.

    I thought your 48 posts today were lacking in substance. Have you been watching the convention?

    Smeg-You sure Crisco's isn't hollower?

    Also, Hardaway has a probably has a pretty fat contract. They'll still need to clear a little more space to get Webber, but it's within their reach....Yikes.

    Nike,

    Not sure Cisco can even beat Bobs 1000 lame one liners, especially his finally 50 what a joke [​IMG]

    Re: hardaway, i think his contract is up now, and he wanted a 3 year deal and they only wanted to give him a 1yr deal and i think they were comprimising on a 2year thing, but i don't think it was for the max, cause of his knees.
