Nothing to indicate that LMA has agreed to meet with Miami, only that they want to meet with him. They are a longshot at best IMO.

I was going by this tweet:

David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt · 15m15 minutes ago
Aldridge is, as Yahoo! reported, meeting a second time with the Lakers this afternoon, & will be meeting with Pat Riley in L.A., per source.

Are the Heat trading Bosh?

They would have to. And they can't sweeten the pot with any 1st rounders until 2019.

I'm a bit concerned. Just praying we don't trade Kieff (yet)

Riley: Everyone else on the team took a pay cut and we won the championship
LMA: What about Bosh and Dragic?
Rley: ....

:lol:

Since coming to Phoenix he has:

1. Insulted the fans
2. Led the league in technical fouls
3. Picked up an assault charge

And this is after our franchise did him the favor of trading for his twin brother AND giving him a contract he didn't deserve so they could stay together.

Sorry Kieff, but no "foul game" happening here. You don't sell tickets or win games. Good luck at your next stop.

Sure, but he tweeted it in a light hearted way. I'm sure he is unhappy he won't be close to his brother but why blame him for that? He knows it's a business and they got their chance.

Portland and Miami swap Bosh and LMA. Plus Miami throws in some cash, young player, and future draft picks.

I don't think Riley would do that after Bosh decided to go back after flirting with Houston and then had the heart issues. That would be low. Riley isn't that low.

$50 says Riley will start the conversation with ".....everyone else on the team took a pay cut....". Then LMA responds with "What about Bosh/Dragic?". Discussion ends.

Well dragic did take a bit of a pay cut, I think he certainly could have gotten more

kieff would be traded to dallas if LMA signs.

Why?

just easier that way. tucker stays the starter at the 3.

i guess you could trade tucker + filler but markieff would be insufferable.

It irks me that no Spurs info is leaking for LMA. Lots of Suns news coming but nothing for the Spurs.

No way they are just sitting on their hands.

How? Trading Bosh? Portland doesn't even pick up the phone.

He could be pretty effective playing with Drummond, especially if he can get better from 3. SVG loves floor spreaders around his big in the middle.

Man if this all works out according to the master plan I would be eternally grateful for Motown cauz they stole Baynes from the Spurs while helping us in a one way salary dump.

Yep ... Kief is already bitter about his brother being traded. Why keep a player that does stupid things (like arguing with refs, techs, and felonies) around? Better to cut bait and run.

I heard earlier today that they were trying to work with a deal with Cleveland for Heywood. One way or another I see them trying to add a center. Koufos would be a great pickup for them.

Tucker plus 2nd round picks to Dallas for Chandler.
Sign Aldridge.
Sign Chandler.
Sign Knight.

Resign Granger when he's waived if he has anything left.

Sign Mo Williams as a backup PG
Sign best available shooter in free agency.

If we sign LMA, we will have to send out close to equal salary to what Chandler trades for.

JMac1 · Post #639 » by **JMac1** » Thu Jul 2, 2015 8:46 pm

I'm out for a while. Every time I leave, something happens. Chandler, LMA interest, Morris trade............I was doing something else each time.

You want to know the best part? Pistons signed Baynes and we rewarded them with our salary dump :lol:
