let me get it for you CFR...
"people still watch the NBA?" and "bacon rules"...
since that is taken care of...
7'2" Roy Hibbert (Raptors), a couple at 7'1", like 10 - 7'ers and a long list at 6'11"...

I thought the draft was quite interesting with the 5 min 1st round and 2 minute second round it went fast.
Darrell Arthur from Kansas being drafted by New Orleans, traded to Portland, then traded to Houstan, then traded to Memphis in the same night was entertaining...must have been exhausting for him.
Winners in my book
Miami....I think Beasley will be a quicker huge impact than Rose, and picking up Mario Chalmers was a good addition
New Jersey getting Brook Lopez at 10 was excellent...He's good, then adding Ryan Anderson later another good addition
Portland...Jarred Bayliss at 11 was good
I'm biased, but I thought Phoenix getting Robin Lopez was a nice addition, he adds more defensive presence, and I think he well get better offensively.
I was scratching my head with Seattle taking Westbrook at 4, I saw him play a lot here in PAC-10 country, wasn't blown away by him at all, they should have taken his teammate K-Love.

I love Collin Cowherds comment on why Hibbert is not being taken early
"He's soft like Coldplay"

stupid move... for Sonics... they would have a young "dominant?" front court for years to come... They also would have lots of cap space to sign someone since these guys have rookie contracts...
Love - C
Green PF
Durant SF
SG ? Wilkins
PG ? Watson
- Not a bad lineup... something you could build on...
Miami should be improved... their bench is questionable... they also have to unload a lot of players.. and lastly they need a center... they can score, but they lack a defensive presence in the low post... Beasley is not a defensive player and is only 6'8

This was in response to a rumor, that we we were going to trade Beasley to the Clippers for Brand... I would STILL like to upgrade our pg and we need a worthy center because ZO cant do it all himself.
"Brand is a really really good solid post up scorer and defender. SOLID 6'10" Very tough on the inside. Ive always liked him ALOT.. lets see how things play out.... We still dont have a good solid PG yet... Wade might have to play pg for a while until we figure something out but we all know even though he CAN play some pg it is definately not his natural position and we love it when he can run down the court and settle for position away from the ball and not have to worry about the point position..
Im looking at this... C ZO, PF Haslem, Sf Beasley?, SG Marrion, PG wade... I LIKE IT HEAT FANS....Till we can figure something else out.. I like Marcus Banks and Quinn as Back-up pg's then..

ZO has retired... and has left it open that he might come back... but has not made a decision yet... He said he needs to see how his body feels last I heard...he had a bad injury last year... don't count on this..
Wade can play PG but would be better at SG.

I will guarantee you that ZO will return and has NOT played his last game in a Heat uniform being helped off the court.. He is still so ferocious, determined and intense at a tender age of 36 lol. Still such an asset for us coming off the bench. I cant see us without him.

I don't know, I think Haslem is off to the bench or the trading block, and White Choclate will still be your PG, Beasley is a little undersized at the 4, but Marion can guard anybody, and Haslem could be the "banger" off the bench (kind of a Tim Thomas)...Most of the monster PF's are out west and you rarely have to worry about them(ta-ta-Timmy, Amare, Boozer). Your right, Marion is capble of the 2 guard and D-Wade could be a PG, but they are much better suited at SF, and SG.

idk what Seattle was thinkin on that 4 pick..
I think all teams got smoe nice picks, but Memphis got some nice picks with them gettin Mayo and Darrell Aruthur should be nice to seem them next yr playing together.
I dont see how Aruthur fell so far back. Im telling u that guy is good. Played against him his senior yr and I was sophmore in Highschool and the guy got game!
Newayz now I gotta sit and wait for the freakin season to start. At least I get to see me some Olympic BBall to hold me over til college and the nba starts

I think heat need to get a package going with some money and get Kurt Hinirich down there from the bulls.
Hinirch
Wade
Beasley
Marion
And whoever
Now thats a nice line up

Either Heinrich or Ben Gordon... I love Ben Gordon and he can play the point as well, no? We can play Haslem at the center if we have to for a much more uptempo game with Zo coming off the bench.. Im loving it

But Gordon is more of a scoring point gaurd. Id rather have Hinirch IMO, but either one would be good.
Hinirich is just more of a pure point guard, doesnt turn it over much, Looks to pass before his shot, and hes a knock down shooter. Ive always liked this guy since hes been in the NBA

You gotta quit trying to turn SG's into NBA point guards
....It's a tough transition to make in the NBA....Hinrich would be a good addition for you though.
