Heat after A.Miller I hope this doesn't happen. We would be crazy to trade Miller without getting another top PG. If we do this trade we won't have Miller's contract to trade for another guard. http://m.yahoo.com/w/sports/nba/new...&.ts=1278510377&.tsrc=yahoo&.intl=US&.lang=en
Re: Heat after A.Miller We would have a decent sized trade exception however, which could be worth almost as much as Miller's expiring contract ... and I kind of like Chalmers defensive potential and he could be a decent point guard to pair with Roy given his decent long range shooting numbers (which fell off some this year). Tough call.
Re: Heat after A.Miller It's not a tough call when you have championship aspirations yourself: You don't help another team leapfrog you. I could give two shits what Andre Miller or the Miami Heat want. He signed a three-year deal. We'll send him where it's most advantageous to us.
Re: Heat after A.Miller Not really if we traded for Beasley and Chalmers. This is just crazy to trade away our only good PG. I like Bayless but he isn't ready to start at PG. If Chalmers was a good enough PG the Heat wouldn't want to trade Chalmers for Miller.
Re: Heat after A.Miller I'm not really sure what happened with Mario Chalmers this year, he definitely seemed like he was going to be a good starter after his rookie season ... Like I said, Chalmers could be "decent," but I don't really think he's a game changer or a lock to be this team's future at the position. The most interesting part of this deal would be the trade exception and even then I'm not sure I see a lot of high quality starting point guards teams are looking to unload for a simple 7 million dollar trade exception -- because you can't package that exception.
Re: Heat want Andre and Rudy They have absolutely nobody I'd want personally. It would have to be a 3 way. Maybe they can help us get Paul!!!! Or at least a Brooks or Hill.
Re: Heat after A.Miller Beasley and Chalmers for Rudy and Miller is mentioned in this article. That is interesting. I just don't know about Beasley's mental state. There has to be a reason why Miami is so intent in moving him. I guess they don't see him as a SF. Only a PF.
Re: Heat after A.Miller F off Miami.. We're not going to give you Andre away for nothing. A Rudy for Chalmers type deal I would do though.
Re: Heat after A.Miller A guy on O-live says that the pick Miami is offering is Toronto's, can anyone confirm this? They do have it, but it's top 14 protected http://www.realgm.com/src_future_draftpicks.php
Re: Heat after A.Miller Edit - Top 14 protected isn't much of an inducement. That's like saying here have our PHANTOM pick. Toronto will be a top 14 pick next year fo sho.
Re: Heat after A.Miller The poster said it was top-14 protected, yo. And no, I'm not interested. I wanted to get Beasley when he may have been free to anyone willing to give cap relief...not for the team's best point guard with no high-level replacement lined up.
Re: Heat after A.Miller I guess it boils down to this: Do you think Mario Chalmers is a starting quality point guard or not and is Micheal Beasley a hopeless head case or just a guy in need of a change of scenery. This is a situation where it would be nice to have Randy Pfund installed as the GM, since he's intimately familiar with Beasley and Chalmers.
Re: Heat after A.Miller Jquick Rudy for Chalmers and Pick (likely) Andre not as likely unless Lebron doesnt sign and then maybe there would be kind of a deal
Re: Heat after A.Miller The only way I do this is if it's part of a 3-way deal with NO for Chris Paul: Miller/Rudy-->MIA Joel/Beasley/Bayless-->NOH Paul/Chalmers-->POR Now THAT I would absolutely be down for.
Re: Heat after A.Miller Confirms something that I've wondered about for awhile -- that the Blazers do have interest in Mario Chalmers. Interesting.
