Heat-Suns Rumored Deal

[john2jer]

Keep it simply to Amar'e and J-Rich for Beasley, O'Neal, and Miami's 2010 first.

C - Haslem
PF - Stoudemire
SF - J. Richardson/Jones
SG - Wade/Cook
PG - Chalmers

Balance the roster out with veterans that want to contend, and the Heat are looking solid next year.

The Heat are probably willing to abandoned the 2010 plan for Amare but not for J-Rich.
Giving away a 1st pick, Beasley and taking on J-Rich contract is too much.

I could see an Amare/Barbosa trade for either O'Neal, filler and picks, or Beasley, expirings and picks. Definitely not both. And definitely not for Jason Richardson, that's just not going to happen.

Exactly. The only way Miami takes back J-Rich in an Amare deal is if it doesn't involve Beasley, and we immediately flip Beas for the final piece to the puzzle for that team.

The packages from Miami are either JO + picks and scraps, and we'll take back Barbosa as well, or Beasley + smaller expirings + maybe a pick for Amare straight up.

[N.O.R.E.]

Meh I see J-Rich as an asset for the Heat as his contract expires in 2011, giving them another trade asset this offseason to improve the core.
