Thanks, I had forgotten that. Afterward, the articles kept appearing about Miami's golden future, but never reminded us that they lost a half-decade's worth of first round picks. Their barren future in the draft should be in every such article.
After resigning Kobe, I don't think the Lakers cared about abandoning their draft picks, or drafting poorly. They even signed Bynum to a pretentious contract and it didn't hurt them much. The Heat will improve, simply because historically teams with their margins of victory have higher potential.
If we want to win now: we should keep Camby this year If we want to win in long term: we should keep Camby because he would be our only big expiring contract next season. seems like this should be worth more on the open market than a late 1st rounder this year
