He should be comforted that I hate his team as well as him just as much.

Nice pick by heat of Hairston .. Too bad he isn't going to really be with us

heatless...not sure if espn broke down heat trade..turned off draft. read we gave hornets 1st and 2nd on twitter.

Not bad at all.

Fuck Bill Simmons. He knows nothing about basketball. When has a team helped Miami since the big 3 joined forces?

 

[bksballer89]

Damn near all of our players in the last 4 years came via free agency or draft

He's referring to David Kahn from Minnesota taking Beasley off of our hands. This allowed us to sign the big 3.

I didn't see that on ESPN. But happy that we can keep Cole. He needs to improve around the rim, but he's a perfect backup PG.

Hopefully trading Hairston is all we needed to add Napier . The big 3 can now return , keep some of the other role guys including Rio and Cole and still do damage in FA

free agency is the best way to build a team. draft picks are overrated. it's a crap shoot. unless you got a high lotto pick.. draft picks are worthless to me. pull up any draft from 2000 on.. easily half of the first round end up out of the league or deep bench within 5 years.

Agree but this dick Simmons act like the Heat got where they are by trading/robbing other teams in trades

No way both Rio & Chalmers both come back. One of them would have to be a 3rd string PG an that's obviously would be the case.

Rio is likely gone. He was making $4 mil last year. There's a reason Miami drafted Napier and has Cole still. No way they'll keep all 3 since Chalmers will likely want a raise.

Oh, I agree with you. He's just pissy that his team's now in the crapper.

 

[Flauge]

Chalmers is clearly gone. Cole just as good as Chalmers and much cheaper. If Napier is ready, he should start ahead of Cole. Cole on final year of rookie contract next season. Cheaper to resign a back-up.

 

[Paolo305613]

Chalmers may demand a raise but he needs to realize he didn't exactly earn it ... If he can admit to that , maybe they make it work

He won't. Chalmers was non-existent the entire playoffs. There will be a team that gives him a large salary elsewhere. It's time for Miami to cut ties. No way the Heat are going to keep on 3 quality PGs.
