this is great information heat fan. i'm glad to finally have the info cleared up about Eddie jones finally thanks alot man.
Micky Arison would keep shaq just because like Riley said, there are two players that have been worth the money they make, MJ and Shaq. The only real concern with his contract is how much of the salary cap it takes up, but look at the Lakers since he's been with them, they've had a star-studded line up with his huge contract, so no need to worry.
Ansu Sesay a Miami Heat candidate Nothing too big here just another scrub to stick on the bench....... Riley says O'Neal is worth the money And Pat Riley is right. Shaq may take up a lot of money, but I tell you he is worth it. Shaq is a top 3 player in the league and cannot be stopped in the EAst. He is worth his pay especially now that he's lost a lot of weight. Heat want to resign O'Neal If I were the Heat I'd sign O' Neal to a 4 year deal right now. He has enough juice left in him to prove to be the MDE for another 3-4 years. IT would be a wise move what ever you Shaq haters have to say. EJ trade rumors are just that...rumors This sucks. I was really hoping to have James Posey and Jason Williams with us this year. It would rock. I think if that trade went down we will be able to get a title and theres no denying it. A pass first PG and a great defender is just what the Heat could use. Riley is asked about the Pistons We are able to compete with the Pistons right now. IF we hope to beat them in the play offs we should do the Memphis trade with Eddie Jones. IT is our missing piece to a championship. I am really pushing this Memphis trade if you can tell. Riley speaks about DW's Olympic performance Yes Dwyane WAdes Olympic Performance was full of ups and downs and if you want my put look on it here it is from another thread. Heres my post: I think Wade partly did his job on the Olympics. HE could've done done better,but it wasn't his fault they lost. Wade was one on the only players on that Olympic team to actually relize that they weren't the main guy. He did some nice passes and set up very nice plays. His shooting kind of surprised me though as it was way off. He was thought the USAs best perimeter defender, even though a few shooting fouls were called against him. Noone else could do anything about it ,but AI did defende it a few times too. Wade defense has really improved under Larry Brown. He is a great player and is no where near his prime yet. Him LeBron, and Carmelo will bring future medals to the USA. My Report Card for Dwyane Wade: B- THeres exactly what I wrote. Riley wants Bimbo Coles to be a part of the Heat organization I just don't give a sh!t about this and I don't care.
