Flash Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) @ChrisMannixSI Two teams sources say tell SI Howard will have interest in: Clippers and Miami. There are cap issues, but the interest is real. http://cache.deadspin.com/assets/images/11/2009/09/pat_riley_oj_mayo.png Edited March 12, 2012 by Flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NomarFachix Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 If the Heat got Dwight they'd literally never lose another game. 82 win seasons, undefeated playoff runs until one of them left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol probably but I feel like there's at most like a 3% chance. It also means we'd probably lose Bosh and either Chalmers/Cole through S&T though.

SRV Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Pat Riley is a monster who can not be stopped. I doubt he will do this, but the fact that he could have any player in the league at the push of a button is just amazing lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRV Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 We had one bad season since Wade was drafted, and we were a good team before that too. Since Riley has been involved with the Heat, we have been winning a lot of games. That one season was all a set up to get us the big three anyway. Wouldn't have looked so stupid if we ended up with the #1 pick and had Derrick Rose instead of Beasley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only had a shit record because Wade was hurt that whole season and Shaq basically gave up. I think Riley's resume speaks for itself.

This, only under .500 once since Wade was drafted, 2 Eastern Conference titles and one NBA Finals. Then before that we used to have some really great teams but Jordan would just kill both us and NY so it didn't even matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt any GM will ever pull something like that off again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 :o, then Riley really is a beast, destroy your team because you know in 3 years you are getting LeBron and BoshExactly, destroy our team and then put us in position to get a good team later on. It sure as hell wasn't going anywhere with Wade being the best and then having Beasley as the 2nd best player. If it was so easy to just put pieces together and win, why haven't the Knicks done it? There is more to it than just giving us three good players. We have a great coaching staff and plenty of players who WANT to play under Pat Riley and Spo and understand what they are about.

Owner Real Deal Posted March 12, 2012 Owner Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Orlando doesn't want to be the old Raptors, just to watch Bosh leave again. Why would they trade Howard for Bosh? If Howard is going to Miami, it will be for LeBron or Wade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted March 12, 2012 Owner Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Lol, no.Then Howard will not go to Miami. But you're telling me that you would rather have the team you have now, than to have LeBron and Bosh paired up with Dwight? If it's a loyalty thing...well, would Howard win rings with Wade and Bosh? You guys saw how important defensive anchors were when you played Dallas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) I wouldn't take Dwight over Dwyane Wade or LeBron James, that's what it comes down to. Edited March 12, 2012 by Flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Why would we break up the best duo in the NBA lol it makes no sense. IMO Bosh is better than any player that's being offered to Orlando currently and he's proven he can be a primary scoring option on a team.

Owner Real Deal Posted March 12, 2012 Owner Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I wouldn't take Dwight over Dwyane Wade or LeBron James, that's what it comes down to.Sorry to hear that. I would trade Wade for Howard without thinking twice. Why would we break up the best duo in the NBA lol it makes no sense. IMO Bosh is better than any player that's being offered to Orlando currently and he's proven he can be a primary scoring option on a team.Bosh is almost 28 years old, and he'll be signed until 2016, making up to $22 million. On a contender, he's not a primary scoring option...doesn't matter what you say about him. He's in the same boat as a Danny Granger, who is a second option at best. Additionally, the Magic are locked in with Ryan Anderson and Glen Davis at the four. Bosh is not a center, and the Magic will not want Joel Anthony. Orlando wants picks, youth and players to build around. Bosh is not the best option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Orlando wants picks, youth and players to build around. Bosh is not the best option. I read on the Magic board that Otis wants to win now rather than take a rebuilding package (something like that). I remember seeing it on Twitter before too but not sure exactly when.

Check my Stats Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Do you realize that if the Clippers can find someone to take Mo and Gomes, which probably wouldn't be that difficult if they added picks like they did in the baron deal, they could just sign Dwight outright?

SRV Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I think we are fine as it is, but if Riley works some voodoo magic to keep Wade and Lebron and get Dwight then I am all for it. It can't even work though, even if we trade Bosh we still have cap problems. We would have to destroy the entire team and just have Wade, Lebron and Dwight.
