to talk trade deadline at 5
560AM or wqam.com

At work!! let us know what he says. hopefully ira says that Smush has been buyout for 1 million dollars and I. thomas has sent us 2 first round picks and eddy"baby shaq" curry for Mark "baby Snack" Blount

says Heat arent getting Curry
he could see UD being traded to a team needing a bodyguard for their center
says he could see them do nothing, wont trade Williams and Ricky just for the sake of trading them
Heat needs a shot blocking rebounding center not necessarily a scorer, like a Theo Ratliffe type

Ira says the word out of Phoenix is Shaq looks fabulous
says if he does looks fabulous tonight & down the road Heat fans should feel outraged by his lack of effort here and it would be an indictment of his character while milking it here

Micky has been magnanimous in his comments ublicly & privately re: Shaq but but Ira sounds pissed that Shaq was jipping them

Ask him what his thoughts are regarding this year's draft class.

Shaq should just get traded mid season every season, help one team getto lotto position and help one team get far in the playoffs. That's what happens when you work yourself into game shape during the season. But who can blame him, the guy is from the 93 draft and is the only guy still playing (not counting Horry who is hardly getting any minutes) so maybe this half-a-season-thing is working for him.

But you are Ira....so answer

I am on the phone, sorry

Ira = Overrated

He needs to stop crying about Shaq, deal with it.
Its not like Shaq wasn't trying when he was on the floor.

The Heats supporting cast is and was horrible this year (JWill and Ricky Icky) plus we are very young.

except that's exactly what its like

^^ And your one to gauge how hard he was trying. I doubt it.

Even if Shaq was giving it and bringing it one hundred percent every night harder than hard, the Heat would still be in the same place, headed to the lottery. The team just wasn't good enough without our perimeter defenders and shooter from last season, and with Wade hobbled.

But if Shaq catches and dunks a lob pass from Nash tonight, I'm going to bring the hate harder than hard.

I must say I am slightly outraged at his effort. I felt kind of sad when was traded, but we all know the truth now. He wanted out and was dogging it here. So long Shaq, I see you now for what you are. Just a mercenary.

Shaq really is like Clemens. If he gets bought out ina year, he'll go year to year and just sign with whoever he thinks is the best fit around this time of year.
