July 14, 200818 yr LeBron James and DWade playing on the same team in 2010? Well LJ and DW both said they would like that. It also looks like the Heat have made room for a big 2010 move when a lot of players free up. I highly doubt the Heat will be able to afford both of them unless they fill out the rest of the roster with little leaguers. the article talks about short money that leaves them a lot of room for 2010. Look at the Celtics they had 3 high paying guys and filled out around them nicely. Some Vets to come in and play and you never know.
July 21, 200818 yr I've always wanted to have Chalmers because of this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHt0tszfk3A...feature=related (Also note the Rose choke.) ^ I like this one because of the reaction
August 7, 200818 yr The HEAT have signed former Nuggets G/F Yakhouba Diawara to a 2 year deal for the remiander of their MLE (about $800K). He's known as a good defender, but the more interesting story here is what this means for the rest of the roster. They have a surplus of perimeter players in Marion, James Jones, Wright, Diawara, Sephane Lasme, and the recently claimed Bobby Jones. It appears as though Marion will at least start the year in Miami, so I would have to say that this move doesn't bode well for Dorrell Wright. He and Diawara play pretty similar styles, except Diawara does it for over a million dollars less. I wonder if there is any trade market for Wright at this point.
August 8, 200818 yr J-Will to the Clippers: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3524422 Lets trade dorell for Livingston
August 8, 200818 yr LOS ANGELES (AP)?The Los Angeles Clippers acquired still another player during their busy offseason, signing free-agent point guard Jason Williams on Thursday. The 32-year-old Williams averaged 8.8 points, 4.6 assists, 1.9 rebounds and 28 minutes in 67 appearances last season with the Miami Heat. His backcourt mate there was Ricky Davis, another free agent signed by the Clippers on July 28. ?We are excited to add Jason to our squad,? Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy said in a statement. ?He brings added veteran leadership and playoff experience to our backcourt.? Williams is a veteran of 10 NBA seasons, the last three with the Heat. He was a member of their 2006 league championship team. In 679 regular-season games, he has averaged 11.4 points, 6.3 assists and 2.4 rebounds while playing for three different teams. He has appeared in 53 playoff games, averaging 9.8 points, 3.7 assists and 2.2 rebounds. Clippers general manager Elgin Baylor called Williams ?a terrific ball handler with great passing ability and court vision.? Williams? ranked eighth in the league last season with a 3.37 assists per turnover ratio, and 12th with a 0.91 steals per turnover ratio. He was drafted by Sacramento in 1998 following his junior year at the University of Florida and was named to the 1999 NBA All-Rookie Team after he averaged 12.8 points and 6.0 assists. He has averaged scoring in double figures and at least five assists a game in eight of his 10 years in the league. Williams moved to Memphis before the 2001-02 season and over the following four years became the Grizzlies? career leader in assists and 3-point attempts. He joined the Heat before the 2005-06 season. Terms of his contract with Los Angeles were not announced. The Clippers have added 10 new players, including Baron Davis and Marcus Camby. There are 14 players on their roster. Unrestricted free agents Elton Brand and Corey Maggette left the Clippers. Brand signed with Philadelphia, and Maggette went to Golden State.
August 8, 200818 yr Jason Williams never lived up to his full potential as a member of the heat, i'm glad he's gone, I would like to see Mario Chalmers start just to see if he is the real deal
August 8, 200818 yr i don't know why i think chalmers has super star ,aterial, we will have to see. can;t wait to use the heat on nba 2k9
August 9, 200818 yr J-Will to the Clippers: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3524422 Thank God
August 9, 200818 yr Jason Williams never lived up to his full potential as a member of the heat, i'm glad he's gone, I would like to see Mario Chalmers start just to see if he is the real deal JWill when healthy was a very good PG for the Heat. We won a championship with him starting at PG which happened to be the only year he was truly healthy for the Heat.

We won a championship with him starting at PG which happened to be the only year he was truly healthy for the Heat. Agreed. When he was healthy(2006) he was a very effective player for the Heat. The problem is that the knee issues never go away with him. Not sure if he can't or just won't play through the pain, but he was the perfect fit in 2006. Glad he's not coming back though.

Once a PG starts having knee problems they are done! We experienced this with Tim Hardaway, we don't need a injury plagued PG, good riddance, but don't get me wrong, thanks for 06 dude!

I agree with both of you. I don't want JWill back either; his best days are well behind him. I wish him luck in LA and I am happy with his tenure in Miami. I only stated what I stated cause it seemed like this was the bash JWill hour and JWill deserves respect from Heat fans.
August 26, 200818 yr J-Will to the Clippers: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3524422 Lets trade dorell for Livingston ...or we can just give him away. I don't understand why the HELL just re-signed him for another 2 years.

I don't understand why the HELL just re-signed him for another 2 years. Dorell Wright is a good player, he is a lock down defender and makes the 18 foot jump shot around 60% of the time, he is a poor mans Brian Grant, he helps win games, he does the things that don't end up on the box score

Please tell me you were being sarcastic. Please. :confused
August 27, 200818 yr A poor man's Brian Grant. More like a 13 year old Brian Grant! :compute Haha!! Yes!! I did it!
August 30, 200818 yr The Heat signed Jamal Magloire today. Nice signing, should be good for depth at the Center position. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/basketb...0,1250216.story

Do not compare Wright to Rasta ever again.

August 30, 200818 yr You're going to compare an inconsistent player like Dorell Wright who has spent the majority of his 4 seasons on the bench because his coaches don't trust him with any meaningful playing time to Brian Grant? Not that Brian Grant was a perennial All-Star, but he was pretty solid for a stretch with the Blazers and the Heat. Give some kind of reasoning for that statement other than "He's improving his game every day." Unless you've spent your summer vacation with him...

He has spent extra time in the gym getting himself into shape. He has spent hours every day correcting his mid range jumper, which will be his main shooting point next year. He has been trying very hard to do better, if u didn't watch him early in his career Dorrell Wright plays alot better when he is on the court with Wade. They work well together, if they make sure that when Wright plays Wade is on the court too, i see Wright being a very good supporting player
