I like Alan Anderson and Shannon Brown the most on this list. There's also Rodney Stuckey and Evan Turner.

Those two guys might be a little pricier than the Heat could afford. Not sure.

Honestly, the fact that we're actually excited about the upcoming season and not crying in a dark corner in the fetal position is a testament to how great of a job this front office has done. I'm sure all Heat fans appreciate Riley, Ellisberg and company for what they've done despite the circumstances.

Hope they do cause it really was Armageddon on Friday

Yeah Evan Turner would be a very nice addition considering the lack of depth we have at SG. Remember a few reporters linking us to Kris Humphries. Think he would be a great addition to help us out w/ our rebounding, might move for him if Boozer doesn't sign up for us.

I'd be happy with Allen A, Jimmer, Brooks, or Brown

Also, Bayless isn't a true 2, but he could play there

oh, if Wade returns to superstar form, it's ovah. Finals favorites in the East.

Now that the Lyin King is off my team, I can go back to saying the truth. I'll take a Prime Wade over Prime Quit ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. He is a better playmaker and always has been. More exciting too.

Look at every teams signing and compare it with what we are doing and ask yourself, which org is getting the most value?

Stay positive

I don't think it's bad to speculate and give our personal preferences.. at the end of the day, we're going to have to deal with the team Riley and the Heat FO build here (which is shaping up to be pretty damn good).

2/$9 for Caron is silly. He's a below average rotation player who really doesn't give you anything anymore. SVG is overpaying across the board.

Most heat fans were saying that **** even when lebron was on the team

I would really like to have a legitimate Center at some point this decade please. Doesn't have to be an expensive one. But a legit one that can defend and rebound.

Man, Marshon Brooks sort of intrigues me. Didn't he average 12 PPG for the nets in his rookie season (like just 2 years ago?) Seemed like he was going to get a solid NBA player, then sorta fell off the map suddenly.

Only one out there that I can see that can defend and rebound well that won't break the bank is Greg Steimsma. Not the sexiest name in the world, what do you guys think? He made 2.6 million last year but I seriously doubt anyone will give him that.

That's acceptable, just wanted to keep any and all positive news rolling and not cloud it with other stuff

dude.... if only we had prime Wade.

That team is a lock for the Finals if we had Prime Wade.

I don't know what Wade we are getting next year. It all depends on him. He better stay on that paleo diet.... if he comes back healthy again..... even if not prime wade. just a healthy current wade... we are ECF locks and possible Finals favorites imo.

Someone made a good point about Manu the other day. He sucked last year and possibly cost his team on the finals and people thought he was done. That team plays with a chip on their shoulder and Manu comes through better than ever. That type of play is what I hope for. Manu went from he is washed up! He sucks! To a guy who owned us in the finals. Gotta play like they have something to prove. Bosh already came out and said there is new motivation, something this team lacked with the whole "let's coast and play lazy til playoffs"

Same here. Wasn't he always supposed to be "Kobe-lite." He played well for Nets his rookie year, fell out of the rotation the next, and then seemed to bounce around to a lot of teams without any personal certainty/job security. Out of that list, I'd want to take a flier on Marshon the most. He doesn't seem like a Riley-type player though.

I like this new edge, privately I think a lot of guys are relieved
