But Paul George and the Pacer fans were happy when we acquired George Hill. He just needs to apply his skillset better and more often. But we need a true pg. G Hill is a combo guard, you're correct. And you got me fucked up implying that I'm a knicks fan in any way. Talking about "y'all."

I actually didn't know you were a Pacers fan but I didn't think you were a Knicks fan. I be saying "y'all" but I meant Knick fans. I remember on this site dudes was happy Felton came back to the KNicks.

Man how in the hell is Lowry a UPGRADE over Bosh? And why is Bosh co-signing going BACK to the Raptors?

That's a very bizarre rumor.

Toronto called Miami...I'll be shocked if Bosh chose to leave Florida. His family love Miami plus he want to win more rings...

Dudes still waiting it out for Beasley. Probably the same dudes who waiting it out for Anthony Randolph too and Sebastian Telfair. Lottery picks who are journeymen and haven't even hit 28 yet....

Oh I thought this was mutual interest. There's no way Miami can be interested in this bullshit. You already lack big man and as soft as people consider Bosh to be....he atleast is a threat in the post. You get rid of him you literally have no one in the interior offensively even if he did jack up jumpers at times. Lowry is a good acquisition to ADD with the Big 3 but to replace one that isn't Wade? I don't know about that.

Re: ~*~2014 NBA OffSeason Thread - Draft 6/26 ~*~

I don't see what that solve...not getting younger, defense won't improve uess you don't focus on it as much....stay running with the small ball approach

I'm for developing Beasley as a force(I feel his scoring could reflect Melo's within this offense...)

Use money and improve the roster...Ariza and Gortat may consider moving down south for a few years.


So let's see, I think this feasible(only if Spo retool the schemes)


Napier/Cole
Wade/Allen
James/Ariza
Bosh/Beasley/Lewis
Gortat/Birdman/UD

Miami doesn't develop players with the exception of Cole. Honestly have Miami even utilize the d league at all? Beasley is gone in the summer

The Miami Heat expected more from Michael Beasley on his return season to the franchise. Whether or not he was not used enough or correctly is another matter, but the bottom line seems to be that he won’t be returning for another season with the team.

Some sources claim that it’s less about what the front office feels about Beasley, and more about LeBron James thinks. Is James disappointed with the lack of focus, effort and seriousness showed by the six-year veteran? It might be simply a rumor, but from how little Beasley played in the playoffs (only garbage time minutes), it doesn’t seem like Erik Spoelstra was really counting on him as well.

His per minute numbers were fine during the regular season. In 55 games with the team, Beasley averaged 7.9 points and 3.1 rebounds per game. Despite being a minimum contract player, Beasley was clearly capable of doing more, and might be the only other player besides LeBron James on the current Heat roster who can put the ball on the floor and take it to the basket against any defense. Dwyane Wade could, but it doesn’t happen very often, especially not against elite defense.

Will Beasley have a team that’s willing to take him? If it was just about ability, for sure. He is a good scorer and rebounder, regardless of the role he’s given. There weren’t any behavior problems that we know of from this past season. Still, teams view him as a risk, so the best we’re looking at for him is a minimum deal for one year, maybe with an option for another season with a slight pay raise.

The talent Beasley has should command more demand from the other NBA teams, but his reputation isn’t really helping. The Heat didn’t seem to mind that reputation when they brought him along as a signing that turned out to be not important in the long run. His offense was fine, but he never fit in defensively, or didn’t get the right time with the right lineups to make that adaptations.

When Beasley came out of college, there was a serious debate on whether to draft him or Derrick Rose with the number one overall pick. The Chicago Bulls went with Rose, and didn’t regret it until the injuries became a serious issue. Beasley never really took off in Miami, Minnesota or Phoenix, but he was never really bad. Simply disappointing, although things could have been much worse. If his personal issues are truly a thing of the past, Beasley is a cheap and very good offensive pickup for any team to make.

Mike needs to do what Blatche did when the wizards amenstied him and hit up lucas and come down here to Houston and get his head and game straight.

Re: ~*~2014 NBA OffSeason Thread - Draft 6/26 ~*~

Don't know how true this is but it's from Dime magazine they pretty official but trading Bosh back to Toronto for Lowry. And Rich Bucher is saying the trade is for Bosh and Cole for Lowry.

i hope its true.

I know Beasley have the skills, maybe being in Miami another year would help.
Chamlers got talked about regularly for his fuck ups as a starter.
Why trip on a role player, who's trying to redefined his career.
Beasley just needed to mature...

Don't know what to say about those other cats...

BDR, wow. It's down to this now? You want your team to get better, right? Bosh has to step. What you wanna do? Trot Wade out there for 4 more seasons on an extended contract in favor of ownership? For what?

I'm walking you "Miami Heat fans" through due process and reality and that's what I get? It has to evolve. Moist though?

Definitely doing your thing but BDR can't come to sound and logical conclusions. He can't concerning Miami.

You're walking us through this though. I just can't wait until Wade opts in. And rightfully, he should.

Well if I HAD to yeah it would be Bosh but I don't understand why the Heat HAVE to get rid of him especially for Kyle Lowry?

The only way the Heat let Bosh go is if they know for certain they signing Gortat otherwise it makes no sense.

Bo McCalebb is leaving Fenerbahce Ulker, according to Ismail Senol.
The American guard with passport from FYROM could continue his career in Russia with Unics Kazan or in Italy (Milano seems interested in him).
