    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>LAUDERHILL, Fla. -- A couple hundred people were crowded around Dwyane Wade on Monday, watching the standout Miami Heat guard take a ceremonial 16-footer to officially open a refurbished basketball court at a city park. It'll be a while before Heat fans see him attempt another shot. Although Wade said his rehabilitation from knee and shoulder operations is going well, the 2006 NBA Finals MVP may not be ready to play when Miami opens training camp in early October -- casting some doubt whether the Heat's top scorer will be on the floor when the regular season begins.</div>Damn.

    This is all reprucussions from rehabbing that shoulder rather than instantly having surgery. The Heat with a half healthy Wade were not enough to even win a game against the Bulls. It was a waste of Wade and the Heat's time to rehab the shoulder and it slightly increseases the chance of a recurring injury.

    Luckily for the Heat, Wade will at max miss 2-3 games. This spillover is not a big deal at all but I think everyone on this forum will agree that Wade made a mistake.

    This is the reason why the Heat should go after a guy like Francis. They need another scoring option. Shaq is always hurt, and Wade is starting to turn injury prone too. They really need to get their hands on another scorer.

    Well they're pursuing Juan Carlos Navarro right now. If a deal doesn't work out with Washington, the Heat will likely pursue Steve Francis.

But at the time, if Wade somehow recovered to near his healthy self, they would have had a great shot in the very weak East. Considering this is a very old team, it was even more understandable.I'd rather see him miss a month of action and FULLY recover than going in at only 85-90 percent.

    Do you think that it was worth it at the time? Even if Wade was able to take the Heat out of the eastern conference at 80% they would've been walked on by any Western Conference team that made the playoffs.

    Also, at the time, the moment Wade went down everyone thought that the Heat wouldn't even make the playoffs anymore. They were barely holding on to a late seed when Wade got injured. If Shaq had not gone off after Wade went down, they likely would not have made the playoffs.

    I guess that the Heat were trying to look at the best 'possible situation' for Wade's return. It was a very risky situation, at least Wade didn't come back just for the Heat to miss the playoffs.

    Now Wade has potentially laid the groundwork for a recurring injury. I'm not saying he will become Grant Hill but he has to be careful about that shoulder this up-coming season.

    What's the point of getting out of the Eastern Conference if you're just going to get dominated by any Western Conference powerhouse in the finals? I would rather have Wade rest and be ready for a potential championship run next season.

    I'm not saying that the shoulder injury would have gotten worse if he rehabbed it. He did and the shoulder was completely fine. However, if the same shoulder gets injured, it could create problems due to him not having surgery for some time. However, this is a very hypothetical situation that won't likely happen.

I wouldve done the same thing. Also do u really think we're gonna have a championship run next season with the way the off-season's going?

    It was clear that the Heat wouldn't win a championship, also, it's better losing on year on your current cast's career rather than possibely laying the ground works of a recurring injury.

    Also, if the Heat are able to get Steve Francis and re-sign James Posey along with Eddie Jones, that squad should be able to compete for a championship.

    <span style="font-family:Tahoma">Anyone see the reports on ESPN last night? They said he'll "likely" miss a month. Now that hurts the Heat. Then again, Shaq did a great job with the team while Wade was out and got them to .500. </span>

    If he's out for a month this definitely proves that Wade re-habbing the shoulder was a mistake. I would much rather have had him miss the 07 playoffs and be healthy for an 08 run to the championship.

    Also, Shaq was doing awesome when Wade went out. He led the team to 10 straight wins, however after those 10 wins the team began to fall apart. They started losing to mediocre teams like the Sixers and Magic. Also, Shaq will probabely suffer an injury within 2 months of the NBA starting. So by the time Wade is back, Shaq could potentially be gone. Right now it's looking as though the Heat will have to dig themselves out of a hole if they want to win the division.

    Well the bad news just keeps pouring in for Heat fans today. Steve Francis is going to the Rockets.

    At this point I think the Heat have to focus on getting Juan Carlos Navarro. He won't cost the Heat much as all the Wizards want is cap relief. The Wizards are also offering Antonio Daniels alongside Navarro in a deal. The Heat would likely give up Jason Williams and a draft pick in this situation.

    It will be a temporary solution to the PG issue in Miami. Antonio Daniels is a solid veteran PG who is a great ball handler and can slash if the Heat need him to. Navarro was like Kobe in the Euro league last year. He was a dynamite scorer averaging 17 PPG in a euro-league that distributes the ball much more than in the NBA.

    Navarro/Daniels would be a nice 1-2 punch for the Heat.
