Is a deal in the works? Miami related

Ok, so if you believe alanhahn and chris broussard, miami will have the big 3. The only way, currently, that this would work would be for them 3 to take a pay cut....

So, my opinion is that they will have to trade beasley to get them all MAX contracts...

We, the Blazers, have been linked to Miami for a while now, is it possible that there is a deal in place before they all sign on the dotted line that includes the Blazers???

Maybe.... we will see

 

i don't want to help miami...even if we get beasley(who i happen to like)

 

Clearly we needed another thread on Miami...

 

Portland trading for Beasley doesn't really help Miami. If Portland could absorb his salary then great, but we'd have to send salary back.

Ideally I'd like to see us "help out" Miami by taking Beasley and their two firsts next year

 

Don't we have a TE, or does that not work since Beasley makes more than the trade exception?

 

I don't think we do?

 

TKB

source says miami frantically trying to move beasley in a 3-way deal. Nothing done as of yet.

Maybe this is us?

 

Portland really should try to "help them out" by taking Beasley and their 2 firsts

 

Fuck that I don't want another ISO player in the offense.

 

He is expiring, and can be moved. The picks is what you do the deal for

 

Lebron, Wade and Bosh, their pick is going to be 30. Toronto's is lottery protected until 2014 or 2015. That trade would need to be more about Beasley than those 2 firsts, because they'll suck.

 

I don't agree. I say you don't help Miami, at all. You make them have all the problem that they can have. Plus do you really think that it would go that smoothly after dealing with Rudy this year?

Also you know where those picks are going to be? In the 20's at best. Do the Blazers need more picks? No they don't need any more picks. They need guys who can play and make an impact. You aren't going to find those at 20+ in the draft very often, especially with the fucked up management we have in control right now.

 

so basically everything coming our way sucks.. I can see why we'd want to jump on that.

 

Someone is going to for the picks. Might as well be us

 

Those picks will be garbage, and As much as I wouldn't mind him on our team where would he get minutes. If the purpose is to package him to bring back something really good for our team, then do it!

 

I'm all for adding future picks, if you do it on the hope that the pick could end up being a good pick. Getting Miami's first next season is as close to a guarantee as you can get that y ou aren't getting a lottery pick. A 2013-ish Boston pick? That might have value. Miami anytime in the next 3 years? No thanks.

 

Exactly. Anybody who takes Miami picks is a schmuck. They want to trade a bunch of nothing to enable them to do something. It's the oldest trick in the book. Hey, we will trade you our first rounders for the next 3 years for this. Then they kick ass, and all those guys you got, are near the equivelent of a 2nd round draft pick.

 

Those picks could potentially be used in a package to move up? Or used to grab another player at the deadline. An asset is an asset. If you are getting someone like Beasley and the 30th pick next year, and the 20th pick in 2-3 years for somoene like Rudy, you do it.

 

If you can make your team better, you do the deal. Who cares if it helps an Eastern Conference team? It's not like we're helping a division rival. I'd rather we get free picks, than Denver, Utah, or OKC. Not making a move that would help your team, just because you don't want to help another team, doesn't make sense.
