MIN/MIA/MEM

[mhfan3]

Minnesota trades:#3pick, Brewer, Mccants, Jaric
Minnesota Receives:#5pick and Marion

Miami Trades:Marion, Haslem, Wright, Cook
Miami Receives: #3pick, Jaric, Miller, Cardinal

Memphis Trades: #5pick, Miller, Cardinal
Memphis Receivs: Haslem, Wright, Cook, Brewer, Mccants

Minnestoa does this trade so they could draft love at 5 and add marion. They would be immediate contenders with a lineup of:
Telfair
Foye
Marion
Jefferson
Love.

Miami does this trade so they could get two guys they like in this draft and will allow them to compete for years to come. Lineup:
Mayo
Wade
Miller
Beasley
Blount

Memphis does this trade to get lots of young talent and maybe a player or two might work out for them.
Conley
Mccants
Gay
Haslem
Milicic
and lots of young talent off the bench.

Grizz pass - if Minny was willing to give up #3, I'd think that the Grizz would deal exclusively with them.

[D1SGRUNTL3D]

Right. Marions already said he doesnt want to play in Minnesota during the KG trade speculations.

Pass.

Back to square 1 heat fans.

[GrizzledGrizzFan]

Yeah - isn't as bad as the Marion to Memphis scenario - but still not good enough for the Grizz.

The only way Memphis and Miami get together on a trade is if Memphis sends the No. 5 pick, Mike Miller, and Kyle Lowery to the Heat for the No. 2 pick and cap filler. The only way this happens is if Mayo "slips" to No. 5, and the Bulls draft Rose (which they should). It makes sense for both teams, but I am not sure either GM has the b***s to do this trade!

Also, Marion is too old, too win now, and too expensive for him to fit in MIN.

I don't see a realistic way for MEM to get the MIN's #3 either in a two-way. The #5, of course, but where do you go after that? MIN could use a center, and MEM has none to trade. MIN wants Foye to be their PG. Mike Miller isn't a fit in MIN for the same reason Marion doesn't fit.

I doubt this trade to happen

Word out in Miami, Riley will invite B. Lopez, Mayo, Beasley, Love and RAndolph aside from the projected top 2 pick. Riley liking Mayo a lot is over stated. If ever Miami trade down, I think Riley will draft one those players I mentioned. A Heat insider said, Riley like Lopez because he fills a need position, center.

[SD2042]

I wonder if Riley is blowing smoke right now. Lopez is more offensive minded than defensive minded. If Riley were to draft Lopez, he would be best fit at the PF spot.

[memgrizzlies]

I just say no to the trade.

[G.A. Clone]

Terrible trade for Grizz, and Heat is just gonna rob this deal. They get rid of Marion (and his contract), and get Beasley AND Mayo for much cheaper...? AND they get younger...dont see it happening. Chris Wallace might be dumb, but not that dumb

[HeatNick]

There is no way Miami would do this

[grizzleGM]

Sorry, but Miami is CRAZY not to take this deal.
