Ira said maybe he's convinced to sign for the vet min for one year then get paid next year.

That's a huge risk for UD, but it goes a long way in truly showing that if he does take the minimum that he's a Heater for life, if he isn't already.

His agent would hire a team of bodyguards to keep Udonis away from doing such a thing. There is no way he will take the minimum going into an off-season that is threatened by a lockout. Udonis will get paid by some other team, and the Heat will be just fine without him.

Are they even allowed to do that? Kind of have a pre-set deal where he gets the minimum this year and get like the MLE next year?

I read that Raja Bell turned down the Lakers and told them he will sign with Miami or Orlando. He would be a great signing imo.

I knew Bell was a good 3 pt shooter but didn't realize that he's shot over 40% from 3 in each of the last 6 seasons and 7 of the last 8 (he was 37% the other year). That's damn impressive.

Since Wade has been here, almost every 3 pt shooter we have had has shot 3-6 percentage points better from 3 than their career average. Adding LeBron and Bosh should only further increase that. If Wade and LeBron tone down the number of 3s they take, which I think they will because they won't need to so much, I think we could shoot over 42-3% from 3 as a team if we add/keep the right guys.

I will forever be on the Quinn Bandwagon.

Another good thing is we got more long time heat players if this works out we cud be retiring wade lebron and bosh on the same day. But i don't want my favorite player to be the 2nd best player on the court. I wonder who wins MVP or Finals MVP

Jason Williams? The same Jason williams that would go 4 on 1 and shot a 3pt off the dribble. That Jason Williams? I would much rather have Earl Watson or Luke Ridnour then Jason Williams.

Luke Ridnour would be a great addition, but Quinn could do the job of back up on this team pretty well, he doesn't even have to bring it up, when he's on the flor it could just be DWade or LeBron that brings the ball up while Quinn spots up

Have you guys heard anything on Tony Allen? Is he still available? Would be a nice defender to have.
