What are they saying?

Ready Flauge's post. They are famous for making something out of nothing to give them something to talk about and get their listeners riled up. I don't listen to sports radio for that reason - they just talk nonsense - it doesn't help that a lot of the guys we have/and have had in the past are obnoxious north-east transplants.

Yeah, there's some retards in the South Florida community that came from the Northeast. Just have to filter them out.

Tyler decision has to be today.

Thoughts?
If we keep him, do we explore what we can get for Dragic?

I don't know much about him, but whatever.

I'm all for it. Although, I think the Heat trade him if they feel they can get Westbrook next offseason. Personally, I'd like to trade him for a couple 1st round picks.

The Heat have until I forget what time today to match for TJ. As for todays signings of Ellington, noted heat killer and now James Johnson -- solid pick ups for what is available to us.

I know a lot of people in here want the Heat to tank this season and seem to think they will do just that -- But these moves signal otherwise -- no, they aren't elite guys - but quality players still. The Heat won't be going down without a fight this season -- as you would expect under Spo and Riles

Intention will never be to lose on purpose, but this summer has turned into being in the best place for next summer.
I expect a team that is fun to watch, plays hard, and will be competitive.

Is the talent enough to win 40+ games?
I doubt it, but we will see.

Depending on the Bosh situation. Assuming he's done, this is a low to mid 30's team

I'm really not for trading Dragic. PG is a pretty important position. Trading him and being left without a true PG on the team is not a good idea. Neither Tyler or Richardson are real point guards. The Heat team looked like garbage last year when Dragic was hurt and Tyler had to run the team.

Doesnt the cash they spent today signify Tyler is gone?

Dragic , Udrih is fine. We'd get solid PG play.

At the trade deadline possibly move Dragic if it makes sense.

According to some writers (national) on twitter they can still match Tyler if they choose to

Agree, but in theory Id rather win mid to low 20's.

Better odds in the lottery is fine with me.

We could suck this year and be the best or
2nd best team in the East next year if everything falls into place.
