Re: The Official Miami Heat NBA Draft Lottery Thread (7 days away!)

Dwyane Wade to be on hand to help Heat's mojo for NBA Draft lottery
The Heat again will attempt procurement-by-player at the NBA Draft lottery.
After putting forward Caron Butler on stage at the 2003 drawing and winding up with Dwyane Wade, the Heat confirmed Monday that Wade will represent the team at next Tuesday's drawing in Secaucus, N.J.
Wade, who has been rehabilitating his left knee in Chicago, will represent the Heat during the televised portion of the May 20 process, which begins at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN.
Behind the scenes, where the actual drawing will take place 2 1/2 hours in advance, the Heat will be represented by Senior Vice President of Basketball Operations Andy Elisburg, who filled a similar role when the Heat emerged in 2002 with the pick that turned into Butler and in 2003 with the selection utilized on Wade.
