November 20, 200619 yr Eddie Jones, one of the few veterans on the team, is in the final year of his contract and is expecting to either get bought out or traded before the February deadline. Source NOTE: You have to register. Hmm... if he gets bought out there's no harm in trying to bring him back. I think it'd be a decent pick-up since Payton has been downright awful. Just have them split some time and go with the hot hand. Just don't take away from Wright's minutes. Thoughts?
November 20, 200619 yr Author I hate how everyone says we're an old team. Posey, Haslem, Wade, Williams, and Wright are all young and quick as hell. Williams may be 31 but he's still one of our quickest guys. Being a veteren does not make you old and slow. Walker is 30 and yeah he moves slow but he's not old. He has skills but he doesn't use them properly. What the hell, I hate when people bring that up. Shaq, Zo, and Payton are the only old guys we have and their minutes are limited.

The Heat are the oldest team in the NBA. Miami AVG Age: 27.6 Houston AVG Age: 27.6 Detroit AVG Age: 27.8 Phoenix AVG Age: 28.9 San Antonio: 29.4 Age obviously doesn't matter. The second "oldest" team in the NBA is the one that plays the most up tempo style. It means nothing. And the Mavs, Kings, and Cavs are right behind us in age so do you consider them old teams? 3 players (Shaq, Zo, Payton) make us an old team. Without those three, our AVG Age is 25.5.
November 21, 200619 yr a cheaper way to improve the team would be to buy antoine a pair of 100-lb steel boots, in hopes that he tears an ACL while tippy-toeing around in them.

Without those three, our AVG Age is 25.5. ok, so I guess my source sucked. my bad regardless, i dont see how you can just go about recalculating the Heats avg age after taking out guys who average 32, 31 and 20 minutes a game and say that the Heat arent old and fwiw, i think 2 big problems for the Heat besides age are that 1) the older guys like Zo and GP wont play as hard as last year b/c they already gotten their titles and 2) Antoine Walker starts.

Well Shaq isn't playing so he won't get his minutes, Zo was playing big minutes because Doleac was hurt, and Payton was playing big minutes because Williams was hurt. Now Doleac and Williams are back and the minutes of Zo and Payton have gone down or will go down. So yeah. Don't expect to see Zo keep playing those big minutes. And I agree that Walker needs to come off the bench. Posey can start and Wright can come off the bench with his usual spark or the other way around.
