June 8, 200917 yr Can someone with Insider post the article of Amar'e and trade talks please? And post any Heat related stories on Insider.
June 10, 200917 yr Why would we want that injury prone piece of crap? He's good, but there's better ways to spend your money, period. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?page=freeagents-09-10 look at all the 2010 free agents. I expect after signing Wade we will have the mid level exception to spend on free agents, maybe more with O'Neal's big ass contract leaving. Chris Bosh will be on our radar both in a trade and as a free agent. Manu Ginobli is another possiblity. A big under the radar name would be Josh Howard. I could honestly see him in Miami come 2010
June 10, 200917 yr give me bosh and an absolute rebounding freak and ill be happy...even happier if that rebounding freak has an alter ego named michael beasley
June 10, 200917 yr give me bosh and an absolute rebounding freak and ill be happy...even happier if that rebounding freak has an alter ego named michael beasley The problem is Bosh would want the same money as Wade/Lebron/Kobe in 2010 free agency, we aren't going to give him that if we want to resign Wade. If we want Bosh, we would have to trade Beasley and Blount to get him (at the minimum), then we would have to let Bosh leave in free agency. That most likely isn't happening, so we will have to see how Beasley develops, which Beasley really needs to hit the gym and bulk up, badly. There's a lot of possibilities in 2010, but if we want to keep Wade, Bosh isn't one of them.

There's a lot of possibilities in 2010, but if we want to keep Wade, Bosh isn't one of them. if the celtics can have 3 max contract guys on their team...we can do 2...especially if at that point it looks like we are one player from being in the title discussion
June 10, 200917 yr Ray Allen- $18 million Paul Pierce- $18 million Kevin Garnett- $24 million the reason these guys can have these kind of contracts is because the rest of the team is making near or at league minimum, and the owner is spending millions of dollars in luxary tax. Teams want to avoid paying luxary tax money. No, we cannot have the 3 max contracts the Celtics have, and neither can any other team in the NBA right now
June 10, 200917 yr Really don't want A'mare but i would love Bosh. If neither of them workout we could keep JO and get an average Center move JO to the PF and Beasley to the SF, that should improve our rebounding game drastically.

There's a lot of possibilities in 2010, but if we want to keep Wade, Bosh isn't one of them. There's no way Bosh gets the same money as Wade/LeBron. He's nowhere near that level of player. The Heat have money for two max contracts in 2010 and the plan is to re-sign Wade and hopefully Bosh.
June 11, 200917 yr My Insider: The Heat have NO CHANCE at getting Amar'e. Hopefully your insider is right because he's an injury prone piece of crap.
June 11, 200917 yr louiecastillo, I'm not saying what Bosh is worth, I even said that he doesn't deserve Wade/Lebron money, I'm saying what Bosh is going to command when he goes into free agency. There will be that dumb team that will pay him that money imo.
June 11, 200917 yr louiecastillo, I'm not saying what Bosh is worth, I even said that he doesn't deserve Wade/Lebron money, I'm saying what Bosh is going to command when he goes into free agency. There will be that dumb team that will pay him that money imo. Well I hope the Heat are that dumb team. The front office hasn't necessarily been hiding the fact that they want Bosh alongside Wade and they do have the money for it. Wade + Bosh will have the Heat in the conference finals every year (if healthy), and if Beasley pans out, that should get them several championships.
June 11, 200917 yr you wanna give Bosh a 6 year deal worth around $25-$28 million a year? Man, you're f*cking crazy. Glad you aren't GM orelse we would be paying luxary tax every single season and the team would soon become bankrupt

Glad you aren't GM orelse we would be paying luxary tax every single season and the team would soon become bankrupt I guess Pat Riley is crazy and a horrible GM because he's mentioned several times that that's who he wants.

Riley mentioned the possibilities of a trade to get him for this upcoming season. I don't recall any conversations right now about him as a free agent. Priority number 1- Resign Wade long term after that we will worry about these issues.
June 11, 200917 yr Riley mentioned the possibilities of a trade to get him for this upcoming season. I don't recall any conversations right now about him as a free agent. It's come up in the past. Priority number 1- Resign Wade long term And priority #2 is signing Bosh in 2010 and not having to trade Beasley to get him.
June 11, 200917 yr Priority #2 is to get a high profile guy who will help sell Wade to stay here. There are a lot of options out there, we don't need to be stuck with going after Bosh. We have a lot of free agents leaving in 2010, we need money to spend on filling out some of the bench spots as well Yao Ming, Dirk Novitski, Mike Miller, Marcus Camby, Tyrus Thomas, Paul Pierce, Joe Johnson, Steve Nash are just a few of the many options that will be out there. I don't see Bosh as being the only guy we need.

I don't see Bosh as being the only guy we need. I doubt Wade leaves since we have the most money to pay him.Yao and Dirk are the only centers/forwards worth getting and they'll comand a buttload of money as well.

Um no plenty of teams will have money to pay him, i believe he has a player option and has the choice to resign or not.

If we get rid of Blount then yes, but you probably mean he wouldn't want to go anywhere else since he's basically our Golden Boy.

They'll give him the money of both of those contracts before they let him leave. Also, isn't Blount a free agent after this season?
June 11, 200917 yr We'll get a sh*tload of cap space once Jermaine O'Neal is gone in 2010. I knew he wouldn't decline his player option, but I was still hoping somehow he would decline it. Those who are gone this year are Blount, Magloire, and Head. Moon, Quinn, and Anthony are restricted free agents. This year we aren't going after any big names, at best we may sign a Chris "Birdman" Anderson, but that again is a big if. Every team is preparing for that 2010 class, and the team with the most money to spend would be the Nets, who I am actually predicting to get Lebron James.
