Imagine the Suns gave two 1st round pick and cash to dump Kurt Thomas to the Sonics, and now ESPN Chris Sheridan says Miami should give 1 or three of its 2nd rounder with Wright and its expiring contracts. If the Sonics want the Heat to absorb contracts, they should at least send Miami a pick as what the Suns did.
You can't compare the Suns to anything, cause they're just way to scared to pay the tax, that they even throw away a chance at the title, if it saves them some money.
BTW: The Heat won't gain anything if they just let the contracts of Davis and Williams expire, cause they still have Shaq's and Wade's(and even Haslem's) contracts and wouldn't be able to sign anyone for more then the MLE, even with all those millions coming off the books.
Wally might not be as good as he was earlier in his career, but he's still one of the most efficient scorers in this league and would be deadly playing alongside Shaq and Wade, punishing other teams for concentrating on those two, while leaving him open.
Riley also said that he wants to surround his two stars with shooters and Wally fits that description.
Though, another thing about Wally is, that he'll be really valuable starting this summer, when he hits the final year of his contract, making him really attractive for teams that want to start over and save some money.
So no, we don't know if there's anything to it and yes, you'd help us taking some contracts off our books, but it's also not that unrealistic, given that you're probably even forced to do something with the contracts of Davis and Williams, cause you can't just let them expire, if you want to give that Shaq/Wade combo another shot.
