Miami will send Charlotte the 26th pick and a second rounder for Shabazz Napier, league source tells Yahoo.


Second rounder will get us jack talent, so nice trade in getting the player we wanted. what you expect from him?

Cole and Napier make for a nice defensive core at PG. Should really help ease the load on Lebron by not making him guard the Parkers and Roses of the world.

Also thrilled that this means Chalmers will be moving on. Woo!

Gonna take more than a rookie pg to keep Lebron around.

But I like the pick. Why Charlotte would help us is also a mystery.

Best part about getting Napier: Bill Simmons' b**** fit on TV. He looked like he just found out somebody slept with his wife right after the trade was announced.

If Bron's happy then good. However he basically hand pick this guy. I didn't have high hopes for him. Hope he gets better. He's already 23.

April 11, 2003... The Don curiously retires Michael Jordan’s Jersey in Miami.
June 26, 2014... The Don calls upon Michael Jordan to do a service for him.

I've been wanting Napier since the beginning of the tournament, he and Boatwright won me a lot of money betting for UConn the whole way.. I thought he played himself into the lottery and there would have been no chance in hell that we would get him though, thank god we still managed to! Reminds me a lot of Curry! Not as explosive.

Napier has big balls and is fearless. Him and Ennis already making us young.
