Haslem trade rumor?

[Edrock]

Found this on one in a rumors page... Writer speculation or are there legs to this one??? I think Haslem's a perfect fit, and I've heard SVG call him one of the smartest players in the league. Move Hedo to the two and start 'em all?

JJ Redick For Udonis?: JJ Redick wants out of Orlando. Magic GM Otis Smith says he's simply not listening to the idea. Informed sources say the HEAT are open to the idea of a Udonis Haslem trade to Orlando, but any deal would have to include JJ Redick to replace the missing shooter Miami let walk this summer in Jason Kapono. Sources close to the HEAT say at least three teams have eyes for Udonis, the question is will Miami decide to break things up, and if Riley does decide to break things up how many deals will he make?

that's from last week on hoopsworld...it's posted in the JJ for Haslem thread...wont happen...would be nice though...

[Gerhalt11]

I'd LOVE this trade. But, it looks like Otis "We're fine the way we are" Smith isn't going for it.

[theTHIEF]

i dont think it's Otis no going for it, i think it's Riley definitely not going for it...

Magic GM Otis Smith says he's simply not listening to the idea.

Sounds pretty clear to me that he's vetoing it, if you can take this article at face value.

[theTHIEF]

and i dont...Otis isnt (Please Use More Appropriate Word)...he knows that we need rebounding and hustle...I just dont think this deal is even floating around out there...it doesn't make sense for Miami, and unless they are just completely done with everyone and are really concerned about Haslem's $7m next year...

[Gerhalt11]

That's fair. I mean every article runs the risk of reporting untrue rumors. But Haslem is probably the second or third best player on that roster (not counting Marion), so it would indicate a complete blowing up of the team if they let him go, as well. He'd be a perfect fit here, though. I suppose it could just be a pipedream, though.

..it's posted in the JJ for Haslem thread...

Sorry for the repost I don't usually check past the first page before I post...

[theTHIEF]

not a big deal...i didnt mean it like it may have come across...

[magictreat]

Haslem wont go anywhere, now after the trade with Phoenix, Marion will play the small forward, and Haslem the PF.

ricky davis coming off the bench?

[The Letter J]

I would be so pissed if Haslem ends up being traded in a deal to another team including someone similar to JJ.

i'd love it, but aint happening

[Hotshot Hower]

The story was written over a week ago on Hoopsworld.

The thing is this is the guy who leaked the Suns/ Heat Trade.

So maybe some legs to it...

[miamiballer]

the only deal id take is arroyo, garrity, dooling for haslem, blount, parker....its prob too much $ for you to take and thats fine but thats the absolute only way id trade him to orl

[theTHIEF]

wheww, glad your not the GM



i'd probably do the deal anyway though, but i'd try and remove Dooling and then send a pick and/or Augustine who is also an expiring...

you can send augustine instead of dooling and keep the pick

[theTHIEF]

well in that case, done deal...

Arroyo/Garrity/Augustine for Haslem/Blount/Smush
