Spoelstra said we had MArio ranked 12th on our draft board, and chaf ford had him 16 and almost every draft had him in the 1sr round. Boy, did we get a steal. Plus, he outplayed rose yesterday head to head. 6 steals. WE GOT LUCKY----WE NEEDED A POWER PLAYER AND A GREAT YOUNG PG, AND WE GOT BOTH-----WHAT A DRAFT

Judged:

1

The way I see it, the Heat will win 24 games next year. They need a center and a shooting guard in case Wade is rusty and only averages 14 points a game next year.

I shook my head when I heard Chalmers was basically given away by the team that drafted him.

Didn't they watch the NCAA Tournament?

This is a good deal for the Heat!

good move for the Heat...hey Kruzzy - stuff it! Shaq is an over the hill bum, Arizona is saddled with this BS artist & we have Marion to use as trade bait for maybe a center === it's looking better, a couple more trades & the Heat should surprise a lot of people this year.

Nice pickup by the Heat. The money is a little high though. Glad to see we arenot wasting any time this year. E Brand would have been great if were abl eto lure him down here. Saving money for 2010 ? Wade will get top dollar from us, but do we think w ecan lure LeBron, Carmello, CBosch. Get real. Get the players now !!

The Heat is on fire! First, they were the best team in the draft, now they bring home a former 'Cane with skills they really need. Cant beat that. Get him signed right away!
Good job Riley.

Jones is a replacement for Ricky Davis; nothing more. Marion isn't going anywhere.

they can keep Wade, Marion, & Beasely and still have max dollars for a FA in 2010. I just don't know how they get a Center. We need a shot blocker. Haywood, Mihm or Przybilla interest anyone? didn't think so...

quinn,anthony morrow,lasme,joel anthony,blount that would be nice for next season
