Hopefully they're up to something and not dancing to randomness

2 max contracts. Dragic didn't get near his max.

Took a cut for the team I think

He didn't take a cut. That was the most offered to him.

Only thing I've heard reported is that he took a cut and other teams were interested, idk

I believe that we're going to try and see if TJ can play PG again. Out of him and Richardson I think that TJ has the skills to do it. We don't need him to average double digit assists but maybe 5 or 6 a game. If he develops into an okay PG then I can see them viewing Goran as expendable and running with a line-up of TJ, Richardson, Winslow, Somebody, Whiteside.

Yes there is. You just invested a ton in an iffy character. The last thing you should want is other knuckleheads on the team. If we weren't giving Spo a new contract, I'd assume that we were trying to force him to retire.

I see a big trade happening before the deadline.

I am only worried about floor leadership; I know haslem will lead and maintain the Heat way off the bench, but we do have a lot of young (some misguided), unpolished players. Honestly this is so not Pats MO that I am raising my eyebrow. Even in 14 he signed Granger, Deng, Andersen, Williams, and Bosh.... there were a lot of maturity in those signings.....but now??????

We might be loading up in redundant talent, because Riley might pull a trade.

If they ship Winslow, Dragic

For Wesbrook

Here would be possible squad

Westbrook, Richardson, James Johnson, Bosh *, Whiteside
Tyler, Waiters, Williams, McBob, Reed
Briante, Ellington, Babbit, Jankovic, UD

And McGruder

I tried this trade,

http://basketball.realgm.com/tradechecker/saved_trade/6712428

Dragic, Winslow, McBob

For

Westbrook, Nick Collison

After this trade

Westbrook, Richardson, James Johnson, Bosh, Whiteside
Tyler, Waiters, Derrick Williams, Nick Collison, Reed
Briante, Ellington, Babbit, Jankovic, UD

And McGruder seems to be the odd man out.

If we knew that Bosh could play a full season healthy. This team could make a little bit of noise.

2.9 million exception is a ton? Really? What did i miss this offseason?

I meant Whiteside.

I agree that all the cheap contracts could look pretty appealing as trade pieces moving forward. Waiters is a turd in my book, but there is bound to be a team that thinks he'll polish up nicely.

I just had a dream that Goatbrook is coming to Miami soon :dontknow:

Sorry Bish, I'll compose myself. I'm just tired of seeing roster spots going to notUncle.
