@ESPNSteinLine: Heat strike deals with Josh McRoberts and, according to @WojYahooNBA, Danny Granger. LeBron, I'm told, was made aware of McRoberts pursuit

So we use the trade exception to acquire Morrow and maybe sign Marion to a vet min deal or something? Not bad. Or maybe only grab one of them?


I think one of them.

Morrow I'd hope.

We need a minimum big man.

Morrow or Marion. Please.

Between Bosh, Lebron, McRoberts, Ennis, and Granger, seems to me the need for Marion is somewhat less than the need at SG, so I'd target Morrow first, personally.

SG: Wade | Allen | Morrow
SF: Lebron | Granger | Ennis
PF: McRobets | Haslem | Beasley
C: Bosh | Birdman | Oden

Gives us a solid vet and a young guy to develop off the bench at each position. All you need is a vet PG

I think that we are at least having a team to present to Lebron.

Good enough? I don't think yet.


And I still think he goes and follows his crew and heart to the cavs.

Heat stacked AGAIN.


A guy who averaged 8 points last year and another guy who only played 40 games and averaged 2 points in the playoffs and has bad knees means the Heat are stacked again? Ok...

This was Granger last year for the Clips.

C'mon man, that happened like 2 times the entire year
Notes: Rookie Rudy Gay twisted his left ankle trying to guard McGrady late in the third quarter and limped to the bench. He returned with 5:51 left, then returned to the bench about a minute later - http://www.nba.com/games/20061231/MEMHOU/recap.html

from the link

Over the past two weeks, as reports surfaced about LeBron James' potential interest in returning to Cleveland, the Cavs' odds to win next year's championship have improved from 60-1 to 30-1


the timing of the tweet makes it sound like its in response to McRoberts, but its not lol

Why is Carmelo taking so long to make a decision? Kinda odd imo

No PG huh? 8-)
Serious question. McBob means Gasol is officially out?

Small ball all over again? :cry:

Broussard bring a great point about his Bosh story

If Bosh had a convo with Lebron about whether he comes back or not and came out of that situation with enough doubt to seriously consider the Houston offer it makes you wonder whether Lebron is more than likely leaving.

Dan making a good point.

Short deals on these FAs point toward LeBron potentially taking a short deal. These conversations about Bosh and HOU are popping up because why would Bosh take a long-term discount for Miami if LBJ has the potential to bail in 2 or 3 years?

That's cause all the idiot Clevelanders are betting the house on the cavs so the line moves.

An off-season of McRoberts and Granger is pretty horribly underwhelming.

We basically replaced Rashard Lewis and Battier with Rashard Lewis and Battier.

As someone who watched a lot of Clippers games, let me tell you very clearly: Danny Granger sucks.
