Glad SOME people realise we wont contend straight away, the only way we do is if the Heat fall apart on Sat and Riley loses his mind

Wade+Bosh for Dwight+Anderson

personally i turn that down and want a nicer deal

Wade+Bosh+Battier+Cole+ future 1sts for Howard+Anderson+J-Rich+Duhon

Harder sell, but J-Rich is a decent filler in Wade's spot, they lose Depth at SF, but gain a starting 20ppg player along side DWIGHT

we end up with

Nelson
WADE
BATTIER
BOSH
Baby

not an upgrade imo BUT def contenders, who fall out in East semi's/finals depending on draft and FA

I've been so caught with the GM and Coach search that I somewhat forgot about Meer and Ryan Anderson's contract situation.

I can only imagine how much Ryan will get paid with Ilyasova potentially getting a contract around 4/40. I'm reading random rumors that the Nets are really interested in Ilyasova.

Imagine what Miami Dwight would do to Orlando BBD in the playoffs.

If Pritchard becomes Pacers GM, does he hire Penn as assistant?

We need to speed this up.....

Andrew Melnick‏@HowardtheDunk

Also, does Pritchard bring Tom Penn, an apparent finalist to Indy?

This is a good question. I prefer, Lindsay or Weaver to Penn, but good question either way

@mike_dhillion HW could be correct. But as far as I know, the team didn't have a list of finalists as of this morning.

Looking at Pritchard's draft history, I'm not too saddened by the Pacer's hire.
