I agree, there would be no shooting in the backcourt which isn't a good idea. They would pretty much have to get rid of Deng (he can't shoot) for a great three point shooter.

wade could do a lot worse then having riley as a GM. Over and over he's proven that he can get great players to miami so why should he leave?

When Miami signs Amare outright through Free Agency on the eve of the 2010 Free Agecy period, and re-sign Wade to his desired 6 year max deal. People will realize this.

Pat Riley with cap flexibility? ? Hahaha, he will not fail.

I have no doubt that that will happen next year. OK, maybe not wade signing for the whole 6 years, but him and Amare will be in Miami come 2010

Wade is 28 years old. Smack dab in his prime. He will absolutely sign a 6 year deal(Approx. 120 million). He's not leaving any guranteed bank on the table, you kidding me.

Think the most locked in player to return to their respective team at this point is Chris Bosh. With Lebron it's all about the title, with Wade it's about being a consistent threat for the title, for Amare seems like it's about the money, but with Bosh he just wants a team that can compete. To me Bosh hasn't hit the NEED point yet at his age where he wants a title and nothing else, right now I see him just wanting to be comfortable and be on a team that can produce enough wins so the media doesn't come down on him.

With all the over the top posts by Rap fans their team has put together a strong roster. Down playing the ability of Hedo is just dumb and the one gripe on that team for quite some time in back-up wing depth has been fixed. Where they fall in the playoffs is one thing but I can't see a Turk/Bosh combo with the potential of Derozan not getting in. I like J.O. as a player but even when he went there they had holes this team is better than the previous.

The funny part is, if Miami drafts Lopez last year, there isn't even talk of Wade leaving.

Are you implying Brook Lopez is better than Michael Beasley

Lopez had a better rookie season than Beasley

ppl say miami didnt improve, but did chicago? they lost ben gordon, arguably their best player next season

sorry, i just cant see wade leaving, hes said numerous times that he wants to stay in miami and that thats his # 1 choice, hes just waiting til 2010 to see whats going on

i see miami trying to add one of bosh, amare or lebron 1st and if that falls through then they can sign boozer and josh howard or something to that extent to add to beasley and chalmers

What the hell does that have to do w/ Wade signing. I'd say that the fact gordon is gone is a better indication of trying to sign Wade. If gordon was still on the team...what the hell would our starting lineup be?
Rose at Point
Gordon at Shooting
Wade at Small Forward

Who's to say that the Bulls don't sign Amare and Wade as well. JR has said multiple times that he'd pay for a winning team. Signing Gordon wasn't gonna make us a winning team. Signing Wade/Amare will.

Don't get me wrong, I don't dismiss the fact that Wade will resign and we'll strike out. But don't you dismiss the fact that he actually leaves if he's not winning

I don't know about potential, but for sure Lopez was better than Beasley last year.

I agree. They would have to get rid of Deng. Wade + Rose have not been consistent 3PT shooters throughout their career, and they would need some type of Rashard Lewis type player who can hit the 3. However, they have that guy. His name is John Salmons. He maybe older, but he can definitely handle the SF spot.

I say they need to go the route of trading Deng, Tyrus, and or Hinrich for a PF before trade deadline, and all they need to do is add Wade during the summer. They can trade other pieces for filler pieces.

2010 Outlook
Rose - Pargo
Wade - 3PT Shooting SG
Salmons - Johnson
Bosh/Amare/Boozer - Tyrus?
Noah - Asik

If we go back in time, there's nearly a 95% chance if not more that Riley does select Lopez, especially with his infatuation with big men.

But, at that time Beasley and Rose were 1/2. It's as simple as that.

You go BPA in the draft, and Beasley was and is the best player after Rose.

I do agree, the problem is that I think it's gonna take him time to finish developing. What's interesting is that you can def. see parallels between him and tyrus on the bulls. Both players had tremendous potential (obviously Beasley more so than tyrus), but it was going to take time for those players for develop. Granted Tyrus didn't pan out...but the same concept applies here.

Whats tough for you guys is that you need Beasley to pan out sooner than later to "lure" wade into staying. I'm not saying he'd leave, I'm just saying it would be pretty tough to walk away from a 20/10 beasley than an 8/8 (w/ flashes of brilliance).

Wade2k6 · Post #120 » by **Wade2k6** » Tue Sep 15, 2009 4:57 am

Beasley has always and will always be a much more talented and more skilled player. Tyrus was an under the radar prospect whose stock rose greatly because of his play in the NCAA tournament. Beasley has always been one of the top players or 2 in his class and throughout his college career.

And Beasley put up 14-5 in 24 minutes, people act like those are bad numbers given his playing time. When Beasley played over 30 minutes he put up something like 19 and 7.
