This is good news. Now, let's be wise on how we use it.

They want Andray Blatche.... who will they cut to use it regardless? JHam?

Blatche said he didn't even care what team he ended up on this year... I don't like that mentality. Also there are teams like the Cavs that can offer more money as well

guessing they want him to start next to Bosh?

he wont get out of China til February... thats a long time lol.

I'd be up for Blatche but if he ain't up to it mentally (which is been proven) so...............no.

Need hunger.

I think the Blatche interest is a diversion tactic to take the Clipper's interest off Birch in January & the focus on Blatche in February since we will have the money advantage might as well make interest public. Why else would they make their interest public?

By announcing interest in Blatche, it's an indirect way of telling the Clippers that the Heat feel there are better options out there.

I'd prefer Jordan Crawford.

You have to explain. Are the Heat trying to take away interest from Khem Birch, and dont want to sign Blatche at all??

Feb too long to wait. How does the exception work out for trades?

Dmcdani6 · Post #14 » by **Dmcdani6** » Sat Dec 27, 2014 5:28 pm

I think they trade Cole somehow, and sign Birch that way. If they want him that bad they will figure it out.

Why do you think they want Birch?

If they wanted him they could have him any time they decide to.

Edit: well **** according to a rumor they are interested in Birch but I don't know of this being a distraction

Andrey Blatch is a nice target to use the exception on. He been playing basketball so its a good chance he will be inshape. But until then we will see if any other opportunity opens itself up.

dolphinatik · Post #20 » by **dolphinatik** » Sat Dec 27, 2014 11:54 pm

you know who also will be available? Beasley

jokes, anyway they need to spend it on a coach. Getting Blatche here with the same rotation and lack of focus on low post and bigs play will just be the same result.

Force plenty of consistent minutes to Ham and Whise.ssssssssssssssssssssideeeeeeeeee playing alongside our best players until febuaray then re-evaluate if u still need Blatche.
