I expect all guys to take pay cuts again. I don't think we get under the cap, but i do think we will get to use the full mle next season.

Heat, Rockets, Bulls finalists for Camby. Sun Sentinel told by agent Rick Kaplan that Camby, "looking to make a decision in the next week."

If he comes to the Heat he will be like Robert Parish when he went to the Bulls. The Final Peace.

This could be also Riley forcing Oden's hand. Tell him that other centers want to join and we need an answer soon as he is our first choice but not the only choice to fill the requirement of 15 players receiving a championship ring at the end of the season.

Re: Official Off-Season Trade/Rumor Thread
I'd try and steal Malcolm Thomas from the bulls summer league team. Kid rebounds well, finishes around the rim and is an ideal fit in our defensive scheme with his foot speed and athleticism.

I think this is correct. I think Oden wants to play here but his people are doing everything they can to grt him the mml. I'm guessing Riley has offered more than the min, perhaps a 2 year starting at $2m, explaining the tax ramifications to Oden's people and telling them if they get a legit mml offer, to give the heat one last chance to consider using the full, hence the auditions. But now Riley is sick of waiting and is putting pressure on Oden to get nervous with this Camby threat and have oden push his people to take the deal on the table.
I'm like Global Warming, you can't ignore me.

^nevermind
I really hope we sign this kid.
After averaging 11 points, 15 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in summer league, Malcolm Thomas won’t be retained by the Chicago Bulls into next season due to the franchise’s salary situation, a league source told RealGM.
I really hope we sign this kid.

I rly hope this is the case lol, because that is what i think Oden is worth right now. I would not mind giving him a 2 mil deal for 2 years. Even a player option for the 2nd year. Idc, but I said it from the start, hes not worth the fill mmle. But i think a team will eventually give it to him and the heat will have to decide if they are willing to shell out that money.

I don't think pat is going to give any guaranteed deals more than 1 year, that could be whats going on. I can see us going 2 years 6mil, with a team option for year 2. We need all the cap space we can get for next summer.

Don't think he's that good. Kind of short and doubt he can replicate sunmer league

Malcolm Thomas is as soft as you get, can't really help us, he sucked really hard in the Israeli league and in Europe.
Please excuse my bad English, this is not my native language
