Ok people who are asking for Neal. He will be asking for the mmle, MOST DEFINITELY, so what do we give Oden? the min? we cant get both, we can only get one.

Gary Neal would be great. Can stay healthy and drain threes constantly. Also has that "microwave" thing unlike our other shooters.
I still like Oden better though.

Yeah good luck too him getting that amount of money. His qualifying offer was 1.1 million for this season. At this point in FA he will not get more than the minimum from NBA teams not named the Bobcats or Bucks.

Interesting, u never know though. I think someone will give him more than min. Whether its the bobcats/bucks or not, i dont know. But people remember what he did in the finals. To me, hes overrated and not worth the mmle

Re: Official Off-Season Trade/Rumor Thread
That microwave thing you speak of is called 'chucking'. Chuckers are the worst type of basketballers, you'll be in the middle of a set and they'll jack a contested 3. Do not want, Neal sucks. He made some lucky 3's against us, and people think he's young, he's like 30.

Why no love for the Summer League MVP? Blake G was one one and now he is a beast in LA.

Neal would be nice, but no way he signs for the minimum IMO. He's made the minimum the last couple of years, so I really doubt winning is more important to him than a big paycheck right now.

Would this be Good for the Heat fellow board members? Or do you think this would be a reach?

No idea who Kratsov is. Joel + JJ for Jerebko alone would be a pipedream. No way Detroit does that. And Micky wants to take on less money, not more.
Would rather sign Clark than Neal. Younger, smarter, quicker.

Re: Official Off-Season Trade/Rumor Thread
^ Didn't really saw Kravtsov is he any good ? and if he is why do you think Detroit will give him for nothing ?
P.S. I know it won't happen but my dream trade would be the one of following

Re: Official Off-Season Trade/Rumor Thread
I have never seen Neal take a shot he didn't like.. In other words: chucker.
Gentlemen, we need a smart player who is willing to make the easy play, not shoot from 30+ feet over 2 defenders.
Especially at the pg position, we need a good defender that can knock down the open 3, make the easy play, and run a few plays.
No to Neal.

Re: Official Off-Season Trade/Rumor Thread
I would love to land Neal and Oden, though I'm not sure I can conceive of a way for us to get both. It would be nice, don't get me wrong, just think it's a pipe dream. If one settles for the minimum though, I'll happily take both and run with it.
Pg: Chalmers / Neal / Cole
Sg: Wade / Allen / Neal
Sf: James / Battier / Jones
Pf: Bosh / Haslem / Lewis
Cc: Oden / Birdman / Anthony
We could use Cole, Allen, and Neal situationally, give Oden about 20 minutes a night to start, with Birdman grabbing another 20, and Bosh taking the other 8 at center (and 28 at power forward).
But honestly, I don't expect both, so if I have to choose, I choose Oden. Neal is a luxury, Oden is a necessity. Not even close...

If we get him, I wonder if he'll drain 28 footers at the end of the shot clock the way he did for SA against us.

I definitely agree with you, that would be a dream scenario. But if one them settled for the min it had to be Oden 'cause Neal is restricted and i'm hearing SA will match anything within the 3m range.
I think we're probably going to give Oden the mmle, and if we can include a Team Option for next year that'd be fantastic.
Mo Will - I don't know if he's on good terms with LBJ, but for the vet min or a little bit more would be a nice add.
DeJuan Blair - We almost traded for him once. I think he's a UFA. Would be more useful than Camby IMO.
Kenyon Martin - Looked fine with the Knicks. But not signed yet, strange...
Lamar Odom - There's only five teams in the world where Lamar plays good and one of those is Miami.
LAMAR and KLOE take MIAMI... again.

Mike Miller - Oh, wait..

Timofey Mozgov - Restricted, wants money, and minutes..
Tyrus Thomas - Overweight. Probably ends up with the Knicks.
Ronnie Brewer - Good D, but a liability on offense. If he could shoot 3's, would be perfect.
Beno Udrih - We could use him for a 3rd PG. I think he's a pass-first (I think so, he racked up a lot of assists when Jameer went down last season) and he could be useful when LBJ goes to the bench.
That lineup that starts the 2nd quarter is just awful to watch.

Drew Gooden - Is he useful? Haven't watched him play in a long time. Maybe Bron likes him from the CLE days, don't know.
Hedo Turkoglu - No, gracias.
Marcus Camby - 2011-2012 Camby would be a very good add, even more than Oden. 2012-2013 Camby i'd avoid. For a cheerlead... oops mentoring role I prefer Juwan Howard.

I think that we could still end up having a very good offseason.
So... IN RILEY I TRUST.
