Looking at what Miami has and how to fill 7 open spots

[Pimpwerx]

Big Z is exercising his option to return next year. so add him as probably the last center on the roster.

You're being too kind. Z is our tentative starting center for next season. PEACE.

I wanted all the old and washed up guys to be cleared off the roster.

Oh well, this is bad but not horrible news.. I'll be legitimately pissed off if Dampier (Waste of a roster spot) and/or Bibby (Horrible, 3rd string PG at best) return.

He's gonna get his money and then get cut. I don't expect him to play a single minute on the court.

Our team should be :

________ - Chalmers

Wade - Mike Miller

Lebron - James Jones

Chris Bosh - Udonis Haslem

Dalembert - Joel Anthony


I dont know who to put at starting PG, but Chalmers is backup who can play the 2 if we need. Since our coach sucks, we need an intelligent PG that runs the offense. My pipe dream is Steve Nash.

How Would you go about getting Steve Nash?

[HEATVols865]

Chalmers / Earl Watson (Vet Min.) / Cole
Wade / Michael Redd (LLE) / House
LeChoke / Miller / Jones
Bosh / Udonis / Varnado
Dalembert (MLE) / Anthony / Pittman

That is my dream team.
If Riley pulled this off we would have killer team.
We need a guy like Redd to be our Jason Terry.
I think Cole can be our Barea;

We need the Medium 3 to play like a real Big 3 and we need Dalembert.

I liked Varnado in Summer League last year. He seemed to be fairly high energy and looked great blocking shots. His numbers on the Italian team he played for this year looked pretty good,especially his bock totals. http://www.eurobasket.com/player.asp?Cntry=ITA&PlayerID=115505

I just wonder if he would even get a spot at the end of the bench since he is almost like a Joel clone (with better hands). A little redundant. But, those two in the game together would be a bad@ss defensive combo for certain lock-down situations.

If he has better hands than Joel and can actually rebound he would be a huge upgrade.

Something to keep in mind is that the owners proposed a $62 million "flex cap" that could allow teams to go over to resign their own players with bird rights, and could allow teams to go over to sign draft picks and minimum salary players...

But it appears as the MLE and LLE exception could be gone as we know it.

[Akshan]

Chalmers / Earl Watson (Vet Min.) / Cole
Wade / Michael Redd (LLE) / House
LeChoke / Miller / Jones
Bosh / Udonis / Varnado
Dalembert (MLE) / Anthony / Pittman

That is my dream team.
If Riley pulled this off we would have killer team.
We need a guy like Redd to be our Jason Terry.
I think Cole can be our Barea;

We need the Medium 3 to play like a real Big 3 and we need Dalembert.

We don't really know Michael Redd situation he could come back and be awful for all we know I much rather have Vince Carter but other than that I like this roster it has all the basic covered and some more on top of it and I really hope Sammy signs for the MLE

[mikey1365]

I cant believe that Ben Hansbrough did not get drafted. I sure would love if we would bring Hansbrough in for a look.

[mikey1365]

After reading an article I just posted it looks like we are down to 3 roster spots

1 wade
2 bosh
3 lebron
4 joel
5 ud
6 mm
7 chalmers
8 cole
9 house (riles expects him to opt in)
10 Z
11 JJ (riles expects him to opt in as well)
12 Pittman
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13 deandre jordan/dalembert/troy murphy/kwame
14 BEN HANSBROUGH
15 dunleavy/battier
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My dream team,
Jordan (MLE), Murphy (vet Min), Pittman
Bosh, UD
James, Battier (LLE), Jones
Wade, Miller,
Hinrich, Cole, Hansbrough

Trade some combination of anthony, z, house, sign and trade chalmers for hinrich, i said it was a dream

[daniel3]

current roster:
Chalmers/Cole
Wade/Miller(miller is not a sf guys, stop listing him there)/House
Lebron/James(didn't even know guy had a player option)
Bosh/Haslem
Anthony/Z/Pittman

That's 11 players, with 4 more roster spots to fill. Pretty much I think we will cut House/Z and replace them with guys that can compete for the positions of the guys before them (or I hope that's the case). I also hope the MLE sticks and we can have Lebron/Delonte smooth things over and he comes here for vet minimum.

West/Chalmers/Cole
Wade/Miller/?
James/Jones/?
Bosh/Haslem/?
Dalembert/Anthony/Pittman

Replace question marks with younger options than guys before them that can show promise in competing against them for their positions.

[Pimpwerx]

Miller spells Wade and Bron the same. I don't know if it matters where he's listed. Anyway, count again, you have 12 guys there. We have 3 slots free currently. I agree with trying to get West, assuming he's not gonna act crazy. And I don't mind cutting Z and House. Z should definitely be cut. PEACE.

[DefenseWins]

I'd love to see

Chalmers/Cole(I don't want him but he will probably sign again)House
Wade/Miller/Vince Carter
LBJ/Shane Battier/JJ
Bosh/Haslem/Varnado
Pittman/Joel/Z(who I hope gets cut)

Has young athleticism, veterans, and the stars.


I know it sounds strange, but why not start Pittman? Joel is not a freakin' Center. Maybe at the PF position, but he's even too short for that at times. I rather have him against benches Centers because no team really has a good Center on their bench. Only the Bulls with Asik. Joel is terrible at rebounding too. Offensive putbacks? lol...


Getting Dalembert seems far reached IMO with the money issues for starting Center. If it happens, then Dalembert/Pittman/Joel. If Pittman proves himself I hope to not him more than Joel. I know everyone loves him but defenses ignore him and it becomes 4vs5 and it's harder for LBJ and Wade to drive. Pittman can take lobs and get putbacks and is much taller/bigger. More of a threat.
