Like I said, not much... I know that, but in retrospect, here were/are some of the players which would likely be more useful for this team than Shard:

Reggie Evans - This dude rebounds better by himself then the whole Heat team combined. I love his attitude on the boards. He's a type of joker player you throw in when you're getting out-hustled and out-rebounded and he immediately helps. Although I don't know if he was willing to come here.

Ben Wallace - Old as dirt but still has a something in the tank. Definitely an upgrade over Pittman, Jorts, JJ, Shard and anyone else not playing.

Kenyon Martin - We've discussed this all too much lately.

Leon Powe - If he could stay healthy it would be interesting too see what he can do

That's about it for big men... As far as guards are concerned there really weren't any useful ones (except for Anthony maybe) but nobody expected Chalmers too play this poorly so we weren't even looking.

Out of that list Evans would clearly have a role. Much like Joel, it would be 4 on 5 offensively it. Though unlike Joel, and the bulk of the roster, the dude's pursuit of rebounds is relentless.

Unfortunately the pickings become slim on the free agent market when a team is as financially handcuffed as the Heat. It stands as the only negative repercussion of signing LeBron, Wade, and Bosh, but I'll take it.

Nate Robison, CJ Watson, Reggie Evans, Andray Blatche were all free agents, got the Vent Min, and couldv'e helped here

Nate: Undersized gunner who doesn't defend and proceeds to gun while being very tiny. Offense isn't the Heat's problem. Plus he's a jackass. Riley would never pursue him.

Watson: Not sure what he would have added. Does he bring anything that Cole doesn't already provide?

Evans: Absolutely could have used him.

Blatche: Heat pursued him. He chose the Nets.

BULL CRAP.

We had money. You guys and Riley just thought it was a good idea to bring in Ray Allen instead of a big man like Marcus Camby or something.

I said it then and I say it now, adding Ray Allen when we already had Mike Miller, Shane Battier, James Jones..... so stupid.

you do know marcus camby is currently out with an injury right? what's the point of getting a big who can't even play because he's always injured? he hasnt even been rebounding well for the knicks, he would be another eddy curry to us imo...

You're spitting that powerful revisionist history.

Problem is you were as excited as a school girl at the prospect of Ray joining the Heat 3 weeks before it happened and on the day he made his decision to come to Miami.

Board archives can be a bastard...

So.... all those open looks Miami gets their shooters.....it will be Ray Allen taking them? Wow. Ray Allen is going to set a 3pt record nobody will be able to catch.

This is ironic, because LeBron asked Ray Allen back in July 2010 to join the Heat, and Ray turned them down.


Re: Ray Allen - Heat?

by StrengthNHonor on Mon Jun 25, 2012 4:08 pm

why wouldn’t Allen go to a team that is almost a lock to make the finals again and can offer him a chance to play 20 minutes a night launching wide open 3 pointers?

Sounds like it’d be a hell of a fun way to close out a hall of fame career, at least to me.

I just want to say that I LOVE this recent trend of pulling up contradictory statements from posters.

People make these ridiculously bold claims on here and never get held accountable for them. People use revisionist history and hindsight to make themselves seem clairvoyant.

Of course I know I am opening up the door for this post to be quoted if this ever happens to me.
Your emotions fuel the narratives that you create. You see what you want to see. You believe what you want to believe. You ascribe meaning when it is not there. You create significance when it is not present.
