Michael Wallace and Barry Jackson of the MIAMI HERALD writes, "Heat coach Pat Riley made a late-night recruiting pitch Saturday -- wining and dining free agent Mo Williams -- in an attempt to land the most coveted point guard remaining on the market. Williams toured the Heat's facilities at AmericanAirlines Arena and ended his daylong visit by dining with Riley at a South Beach restaurant late Saturday." SOURCE: http://www.nba.com/news/424328.html good news. its definitely better than nothing happening at all or some phone call or something. hopefully things will go our way and we'll land him.
I think if I were Mo Williams, I would sign with the Heat. You have Wade and Shaq, both guys the Bucks have nothing like, and Riley taking you to dinner, definitely not going to get a better offer then that.
How would the Heat get him? Do they have any cap room or are they planning a sign and trade deal? Or the MLE or something?
I'm assuming the would offer the MLE, but a sign and trade would probably be the most reasonable scenario since Mo Williams can't be gotten for the MLE when a guy like Jason Kapono is making that amount. Even if Kapono wasn't making that, a 17 PPG, 5 RPG, 6 APG point guard who can shoot well is worth more than the MLE.
I think we will do the sign and trade with Posey and Williams. I think we should look at a young PG as well form the summer league team. I think Darius Rice should get a shot to be on the roster especially with Simien's injuries.
