...I think i just threw up a little...

what are we? 7-19? Thats just plain nasty - no way we should be that bad, but it is was it is. If we can reload for the future, we have some nice pieces already.

Wade - superstar guard (25)
Haslem - solid, reliable long time starter (27)
Wright - potential, already a starter (22)
Cook - scorers mentality, great 6th man type (19)
Quinn - solid backup or 3rd guard on the cheap (10)

add one of the lotto picks and a 2nd rounder and we have reloaded a bit. It might take a while, but wed be on the way back.

caron butler is looking so gud rite now..

hope wade&shaq get injured at the same time so we can watch a lineup of;

PG: Jwill (lingering injury), Quinn (currently injured)
SG: Ricky (makes toine look gud), Cook (decent but fairly one-dimensional)
SF: Dorrel (who'd do absolutely nothing again with wade out), Luke Jackson ()
PF: Haslem (only gud player), Alexander Johnson (i don even kno if this is the guys name, plays max 2 minutes a nite..)
.C: Blount (.....), Barron (.....................)

^ that'd finalise that we indeed suck as a team and need to rebuild or make huge changes.
wade and even shaq are making some of our guys look a lot better than they are. you take them out and look at the heat as an outsider and its much easier to c that we're really a very poor team actualy.. at just about every position.

im all for rebuilding.

If we're lucky, someone like the Sonics or Bobcats will get the #1 pick. Both teams are overloaded at forward to take Beasley. Our choices behind them need to be Jerryd Bayless or Kevin Love. I wouldn't mind seeing us package a #5-10 pick with JWll and some other guys on the way out of town for a good player like Ron Artest.

Just watched the painfully slow Hibbert get smothered by Memphis' D. Rose wasn't particularly thrilling, but you saw his gifted playmaking ability and blazing quickness.

Memphis is a run-n-gun on crack...he was guarding smaller guys all day. That being said, Hibbert outplayed Oden in the Final Four last year. He's a good player, but he's not a runner, but he's not Shaq slow either. He could definitely work in our system with Wade.

This was the first time I saw an almost entire game of Rose - and he's a pretty damn good player. I just don't know if thats the guard you want next to Wade. I think we need to draft a SF, b/c you can fill the PG position with a lesser player and get by with Wade's playmaking from the off-guard spot.

I just feel like a lot of the teams in the NBA will have the ability to take Hibbert out of his game with the small ball style. The future of the NBA, for the most part, is speed. Even Oden was tested on how well he can run the floor, and he matched up with the guards.

I kind of agree about Rose not being ideal. Although you would have excessive explosion in the backcourt, you kind of need a strong shooter next to Wade. Eric Gordon could work.

Eric Gordon isn't a solid PG, and he's a severely undersized SG. You want a 6-3, 6-4 backcourt? I sure as hell don't...of all the youngsters we've mentioned coming out after one year, Gordon is the one I don't think I'd want.

how slow is hibbert? slower than mourning (tho mourning seemed to enjoy sprinting down the court a lot so..) ?
