Miami Heat Off-season thread 13.0 In Riley We Trust

Nooooo Chalmers is back

What happened to your username??? All the new avatars, sigs and usernames are confusing the hell out of me.

Wanted to change it for a while now and didn't know I could until returnofmvp told me I could.

And we NEED SIZE

[CaliHeat]

i really like the idea bringing brandon rush in.

Me too. If he is healthy, he can do a lot more than shoot.
Plus he is a college teammate of Chalmers.
We could sign him for a vet min for 1 year on another prove it deal

Please bring in Boozer, Marion to the bench and I'll be really happy.

We already gonna have a log jam at the SF spot,with Luol,Granger,and potentially Ennis,and Beasley.
So I think we can eliminate Marion,Boozer is still a possibility I could see happening.

With the scenario that Boozer comes along,that most certainly means Bosh starting at the 5 again,and that's bad news on the defensive rebounding aspect of the floor.

I think Spo and Riley plan on playing this small ball game until the day they die. I'd be happy to not sign Boozer if it meant Birdman was starting at center, Bosh down to power forward and McRoberts to the bench. But I just can't see it happening, so I want Boozer and Marion here, two solid rebounders to help us not get absolutely torn up in that regard. Marion can come in and be a backup play to Ennis if he doesn't pan out as well. I know he's showing potential but he's not on a sure thing on a team that's trying to compete.

Good points,but with Pat Riley challenging coach Spo to reinvent himself,that tells me a change in schemes is coming.Small ball really has no purpose anymore now that Lebron is gone,(most likely taking all of our knockdown shooters with him in the process).So it wouldn't even be useful if you don't have the personnel.

Birdman is good for energy off the bench,for about 20 minutes 25 at the most. Bosh will be the number one option on this team,and if he's gonna be a peak performance he can't be taking the constant beatings at the C spot that he did during the final 2,and a half years of the Big 3 era.

That's why I think it's crucial that Greg Oden steps up to the challenge this year for the starting role for 15-20 minutes a game,and I think that's very achievable.

Haven't heard us being linked to Marion(he's pretty old too),but will see what happens.

[DayofMourning]

The one thing that could make this season exciting and speed up our retool is the youth movement.

If Hamilton/Ennis/Napier somehow mange to really step up and prove to be home-run picks, We could make some noise. Stranger things have happened, look at Parsons for example.

Not very likely, but im hoping.

I'm not just hoping, I'm expecting. Force feed our youth!

[HEATVols865]

Bosh/Andersen/Oden
McRoberts/Boozer/Haslem
Deng/Granger/Beasley
Wade/?/Ennis
Chalmers/Cole/Napier

Sign a backup for Wade and this team is Top 3 for sure.

If they click we CAN make it to the finals again.

new era. new name.

Fine but you veteran poster should put [formerly known as "DatD-Wade3"] or something like that for a while. Your new name is cool tho.

The best name change so far has to be this one

Thank you

This team will only go as far as Wade's health goes. If he returns to 11-12 form at the very least, we will be a Top 3 seed in the East. If not and Wade misses 20+ games this season, we will barely be 5th-6th seed and a 1st round knockout. I really want this team to compete against LeBron's Cavs; a Wade vs LeBron playoff series has been WAAAY overdue.

[Maroko]

Is it possible to do that trade :

Deng + Cole/Mario for Bledsoe ?

if wade gets to 2010 form we are champs

heat wouldnt do deng in like that

pat wants him here

[UDMiami]

lets be realistic here our lineup will look something like this:
Oden 8-10 ppg 7-8 rpg/Birdman/Hamilton
Bosh 20-23 ppg 6-7 rpg/Mcbob (floor strecther)/Haslem
Deng 14-16 ppg 5-7 rpg/ Granger/ Ennis
Wade 19-22 ppg 5-6 rpg 5-7 apg/ Rush?
Chalmers 8-12 ppg 2-4 rpg 5-8 apg/ cole/ napier
a 45-52 win team
Barring any major setbacks were looking at a 2-4 seed in the weak east
If the young guys thrive, wade stays healthy, good chemistry were looking at a top 3 seed

A trade like that would put a cap on our success in free agency. No one would ever sign with us again.

[Mugiwara]

I like the positivity, but temper your expectations guys.

ECF and Finals are possible, but a lot of things have to go right to reach those stages.

Let's wait for the next season and support our team no matter what.

Sure, we could certainly suggest it.
Suns GM be like

What we goin do with 2 extra useless point guards when we have already 3 good ones!

Can you put Pat's face in place for Vegta's?

[Slot Machine]

It's gonna be fun to watch games this season and you know, not expect them to win every game.

I wish. If Wade was at that level again, we'd have a definitive chance at a chip. Such a badass.

[SweetTouch]

Riley is doing everything he can so wade doesn't lose another first round again

I think we have enough for second round

If we were out west my expectations would be tempered, but in the east, I don't see a legit contender. I won't be surprised if we go to the Finals again.
