No. Most reports now have Heat get: Dragic, Dragic Pelicans get: Cole, Williams Suns get: Hamilton, Granger, 1st 2017, 1st 2021, Salmons
I hate to be that guy to bring up lebron, but he knows damn well how well he would it on our new squad. We upgraded our two weaknesses more than we thought possible.
Part of me is rooting for the Heat to do well, Ive always liked Wade and Whiteside is a fantastic story....other part of me says..."to hell with those spoiled bastards let them feel the pain me and Boik have the past 15 years" So torn
I usually don't like to make fun or talk about how people look but Brian Windbag looks like such a disgusting fat pig on ESPN right now.
Goran Dragic makes his first tweet as a member of the Heat: "NOW it's #heatnation time and I'm excited to bring the Dragon's fire to Miami!!"
Come to the Dark Side of the force! You feel the POWA!!! Search your feelings. You know it to be true. Fin-O! Darth Riley IS your father!
2016 will definitely be interesting though. With Bird Haslem and Wade off the books, we can re-sign Wade to a more fair deal.. Something around 8-10m per season. Whiteside will get paid, Goran will get paid this offseason. Bosh is already paid. We will likely be able to get Deng back in a better deal. Not worried at all about adding another piece. It won't be a top player but a nice sixth man guy to give us some instant offense off the bench. I prefer this type of deep team than just relying on 3 players to cover up ineptitude of other mediocre roleplayers.
Bill Simmons after the Napier Trade on Draft Day: "Why do all these teams insist on Helping Miami?" Guys...gonna have to face it.....we are the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS.
I am convinced that the Basketball gods saw all those Heat/Knicks heartbreaks, and said..."You know...we hate NY...let's hook up Miami now..for the next 400 years."
Interesting video from the Heat's War Room after the trade was consummated: [video]https://v.cdn.vine.co/r/videos/D5937763F31180290818930511872_3f41752920e.1.5.3999 638050783568675.mp4?versionId=OVWYTfdAGVrkTLP7E4ov rvmWxdd4dfWn[/video]
Listening again to the LeBatard show podcast, the reaction when Dan names the players traded for Dragic is one for the ages. Mike Ryan's mocking laughter kills me! Just hilarious.
Wow I'm well and truly shocked! Charles "the Heat Hater" Barkley LOVES the Dragic trade and now thinks the Heat are back in contention for the East. Really wasn't expecting that much praise from him. Then again, maybe that's the kiss of death for us
This is a fun read: http://grantland.com/the-triangle/lightning-round-nba-trade-deadline-day-where-wtf-happens/ Oh..and check this out:
Also note that that shot chart was from THIS season when he wasn't being used in his best position/role. I still can't get over how great of a trade this was. Hotdamn.
