    I'm curious, If the Heat does sign Malone does that mean that he's replacing Haslem in the starting lineup? I would say no considering how well Haslem has been playing. What do you guys think.

    I wouldn't replace Malone for Haslem because of how well Haslem has been doing. But if they did sign Malone I guess he would be coming off the bench quickly.

    Quite possibly, but I'd expect him to be the 6th man to give us depth in the front court. I think Malone would be a great mentor to Haslem though and help him take his game to the next level.

    No Haslem has proved to be this teams 3rd scoring option as of now behind Wadse and Shaq and I think Haslem earns that starting spot. Malone if he comes could play C-PF for us coming off the bench. Like Miamis Finest said a good 6th man. He also brings defense so we can put him on tough big guys like Sheed or Jermaine in the East. They are definetly easieer than KG and timmy who he was guarding in the playoffs last year.
