Well... if the pick is Beasley, I imagine Paxson will be fielding offers for Thomas and Gooden. Neither are big time pick ups but Gooden has an expiring contract and is a decent PF while Thomas has a ton of upside that has yet to reveal itself.

same, i wonder if riley would trade down or is his team is so bad that he can't think about fit right now, just accumulating talent.
They say an analytics man doesn't have a heart, but I ran the numbers and nothing can be further from the truth - Sam Hinkie probably

Check out this snippet from Chad Ford this morning:

"The Heat will be in limbo until the Bulls make their decision. A source familiar with Miami's thinking told me on Tuesday that the Heat would likely keep the pick if they get Rose. If the Bulls select Rose, right now the Heat would be more inclined to trade the pick.

However, Shawn Marion could change the equation. There have been growing rumors that Marion is considering opting out of his contract. If he did that (and decided to sign with another team), the Heat would suddenly need a player like Beasley to fill the void.

If Marion opts out, where would he go? The Sixers are the only team with significant cap room this summer.


I'd love for Marion to opt out and the Sixers to snag him, he would fit in with the Sixers run and gun to a tee. Miller, Iggy, Thad, Marion, Sam sounds awesome to me.

I thought Memphis had significant cap space this summer from the Gasol trade??? I doubt they would want Marion anyway or that Marion would want to go there.

I would love to have Marion here, he would fit right into our fast break system.
