Official Off-Season Trade/Rumor Thread

[Heat_Fan_87]

I love how all these teams are just passing through Thomas Robinson like hes some kind of trashy whore. I mean is Joel Anthony really worth keeping instead of trying to get this kid who the rest of the league is just trying to get rid of for crackers.

How is miami going to get thomas robinson?

We need a good pick to get him, only reason rockets are trading him is to free up cap space to sign dwight. We don't have a pick and we have no cap space so there is no way we can get him.

Lamar is DONE.

Landry is great but we cant afford him, and even if we did..He's a PF only. And Bosh needs to play next to a real Center.

Learn how the world works. Landry didn't opt out of a 5 million dollar contract to come here for Mle.

As far as Lamar being done? I ain't got no worries.

that's your fav quote now ain't it?

[NBA82]

Lamar is radioactive. The last thing we need is the Kardashians latching onto this team.

Give me Oden or Dalembert, keep Birdman and Allen, and call it an offseason. Our only flaw is lack of a starting center. Add one and let's roll.

Riley told @LeBatardShow ... "Dwyane will have to reinvent himself... And we'll talk about that this summer."

awesome

I couldn't imagine wade having a good 3pt shot. Wade needs to start modeling his game after ray allen. When lebron is on the bench, wade can have fun, but with bron on the court, i would love to see wade play like allen, move a lot off the ball, and work with ray all summer on the 3pt shot. I would like to see at least 37%.

He also needs to lose like 10 pounds.

I would love Wade to work on his 3 point shots - But I don't think modeling after Ray is the best suit.
Wade is always been a slasher and always will be... I know it's taking a toll on his body but I can't see Wade shooting lights out from far distance consistently anyways.

True, i just want to see him play a lot longer and be productive. He def needs to develop a real consistent jumper this summer and work on the free throws.

[Picklewagon]

Wade needs to play like he was during our win streak before he got hurt. I would argue that once he got healthy after his surgery and when we were streaking, there was a nice chunk of the season that wade was the second best player in the nba

Yep! He needs to develop more schematics on his outside shooting and picking his spots - 3 pointers are far-fetched but hopefully he boosts his % on those as well.

Riley is not going to use the mini mle and dalembert is not signing for the min, he is a money hungry douche.

No, he is a Haitian who has done enormous amounts of charitable work for his people and he considers taking a discount akin to letting his countrymen die.

He won:
2009-10 J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award for his contributions to Haitian people after the earthquake.

2010 recipient of The Mannie Jackson - Basketball's Human Spirit Award for his charitable work in Haiti

The Samuel Dalembert Foundation builds and funds schools so Haitian kids can go to school.

Etc.

I don't even like him but this is an irresponsible charge to be throwing out there.

[insfo]

Reinvent != 3 point shooter. It could be just making him work more in the post and develop his back to the basket game. Atleast that is what I hope they do and not make him a 3pt chucker!

That said, he does need to work on his mid-range game and try and not be as streaky as he has been the last few years. That combined with a few post ups should help his scoring immensely.

Your right, I went to far.

[RexBoyWonder]

I dont Pat Wants Wade to start chucking 3's, but Wade does need to work on his mid-range game much like MJ did later in his carrer.

[Heat3]

Did anyone hear Pat Riley on Lebatard today? He said in Spo's first year that he (Riley) felt he was still coaching. He got into it with Spo and didn't talk to him for 2 months until the team got to the playoffs

He also told Lebatard and all local media to not talk about 2014 to Lebron if they want to keep covering him long term. Says the media can drive him away like Orlando did Shaq

[This IsMy House]

I cant see Wade developing a 3pt shot this late in his career, but hey who knows if he works with Ray Ray this off-season you never know really. I really just want him to work more on his mid range game than anything else. If him and LeBron really had a solid jump shot were set.

[DefenseWins]

I don't want Wade chucking no damn 3's. It is not his game, besides some playoff 3's every now and again, but that's when he was riding solo and in 06 I believe. Ever since he came back from his injury in 08 he has been chucking 3's, and after we lost to Dallas, he stopped chucking and went back to his normal self. Oddly enough we won in those years too. I remember Wade would come back in transition and chuck a 3, and it never went in. I don't want those days anymore LOL.

JUST GET A BETTER MIDRANGE GAME WADE!!! More post play too, Wade is underrated in the post.

Now LeBron... he can chuck 3's. Every year he's gotten better, even shooting 40% this year, and was 36% last year. Dude keeps improving. He needs to get back in the post too though, I barely saw it this year compared to last year.
