Heat fan here...

Obviously us Heat fans have been looking around for centers that could possibly be traded because are starting center in Mark Blount. We really don't have anymore of the MLE to use to sign a big man either. For some reason, until now I never thought about a Wizards center. But then I remembered that you guys have 2 great defensive centers. I LOVE Brendon Haywoods game, and I think he is one of the most underrated players in the NBA. I would love for us to trade for him but chances of that happening are slim because he Haslem isn't enough, and Marion is to much. But what about Etan Thomas? I know his contract is like 6 million a year for 3 more years, about the same as Haywoods. I also heard that him and Haywood dislike each other.
Now obviously it would be less likely because its inside your own division, and you don't have a great need for his but what about a deal involving Haslem for Etan Thomas? I look at your team and see no REAL weaknesses at all, except defensively. What about something like this?
Haslem
Dorell Wright
2009 2nd Round Pick
For
Etan Thomas
I think anything like this is a long shot because of your guys lack of need for Haslem with Jamison and all. The one thing though is, Haslem brings toughness and defense (but so does Etan). You guys could potentially use his expiring next year to help get another piece along side your great trio. Also, Dorell Wright gives you another good perimeter defender with some upside for cheap.
By the way, just thought I should say I am so happy that Caron is flourishing for you guys and he found a good home. Caron is one of my favorite Heaters, and he deserved a situation like hes in now with you guys. You guys lucked out getting him for Kwame.
