God, I love Ira
The Internet to be closed for repairs

I was kidding earlier this week about possibly having to shut down the Internet for a day or two while this insanity about a potential Dwyane Wade trade could blow over.
Apparently, it's time for action. So if you have any email, porn or other essentials you need to fetch from the Web, do so soon. Clearly, the 'net is become a tool of mass deconstruction.
Here's the latest, courtesy of Chad Ford of ESPN.com:
"If the Bulls were to offer, say, the No. 1 pick, a couple of young prospects like Joakim Noah and Thabo Sefolosha and a player in the last year of his deal like Drew Gooden, that wouldn't be a terrible deal for Miami."
Hmm, a young, marketable player still considered among the most elite at his position for the uncertainly of a draft pick, a bunch of complementary crap and an overrated power forward whose greatest claim to fame is a beard-growing competition?
Jeez, can't believe someone else didn't come up with that first. Sure the Heat settled on Shawn Marion and the possibilities of eventual cap space for Shaq, but clearly it whiffed by not moving instead for Brian Skinner, Sean Marks and Eric Piatkowski.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Is this thing on? Is anyone listening out there?
Pat Riley does not hold daily midmorning meetings with this mindset, "Fellas, how can I most come off as an imbecile today? Trade Dwyane for the end of the Bulls' bench? Brilliant!"
Derrick Rose with Dwyane Wade? The possibilities are endless.
Derrick Rose with the Sioux Falls Skyforce? Probably not sure a good idea, unless you want to put a curtain over the top two decks of AmericanAirlines Arena.
