    Interesting. So the Big Three get more money, but the M'Eat lose another impact player.

    So...the Heat traded Beasley and now have 4 players under contract?

    Who is the 4th FA they're targeting?

    Wolves-Heat deal, sources say, calls for 'Sota to absorb Beasley into cap space and send its 2011 second-round pick to Miami to seal deal [via Twitter]

    Good move if true. DWade will run the point late in games. Miller becomes a 6'8" SG to spread the floor.

    Miami gets further under the cap to actually sign the three to full max deals. Miller is heading to NYK.

    And Kahn was well on his way to being the worst GM in sports.

    Going from playing with Wade/LeBron/Bosh to Darko/Pekovic/Rubio in a few years if ever. Awesome.

    Chuckling a bit at the thought of a Triangle Offense being run by Flynn/Webster/Beasley/Al Jeff/Darko

    I think this cements the fact that Miami would have traded Beasley for Gomes straight up


    and we didnt take it

    I dont know how i feel about that

    I would be more depressed about going from a winter home in Miami to a winter home in Minny.
