Re: The Official Miami Heat NBA Draft Lottery Thread
Weren't the Blazers the 7th worst team and got the #1 pick? We will need a lot of luck regardless, even if we lose.

Re: The Official Miami Heat NBA Draft Lottery Thread
Naw. That lotto's rigged IMO. If we get just miss the playoffs and just slip into the lotto we'll win. DWade is the face of the league, along with Lebron and Kobe.

Re: The Official Miami Heat NBA Draft Lottery Thread
lol i can see us winning the 1st pick if we're ATLEAST top 4.
no way we get the 1st pick from any worse after Portland/Seattle just did in the Oden draft.

Re: The Official Miami Heat NBA Draft Lottery Thread
Well, every game we lose, we get one step closer to a top 3 pick. The fan in me hates seeing us lose, but perhaps it is better for the future of the franchise.

Re: The Official Miami Heat NBA Draft Lottery Thread
Shaq_Diesel, myself, and a couple others here were in this situation back in 2003. Our game threads turned into 'root for the other team' threads. It sure paid off when we got Wade and the best part is that we may get a top 3 pick and we're still losing all these games by single digits so the games are watchable.

Same way I feel. I hate it when we lose but then realize that it may be best in the long run.

Re: The Official Miami Heat NBA Draft Lottery Thread
Imagine this team, adding Beasley or Rose while minusing Davis (Icky or Dicky...depends where u stand).
PG - Cook/Quinn
SG - Wade/Cook
SF - Wright/Beasley
PF - Haslem/Beasley
C - O'Neal/Blount/Barron
or
PG - Rose/Cook
SG - Wade/Cook
SF - Wright
PF - Haslem
C - O'Neal/Blount/Barron
We'd actually be a good run n gun team - and be able to play inside/out in the half court.
Problem is, we need a lot of luck and a very tough year to make either of these happen.

I have been cheering for the other time since we barely beat the Timberwolves.
One reason I want us to get Rose or Beasley is I think once all the players from the Antoine Walker trade would benefit from being kicked down in the pecking order. I refuse to belive Blount, who was a starter, is completely useless. Same with Ricky Davis.

take shaq+blount out of those lineups and it leaves us with a young run'n'gun 6-man rotation!
barron as starting center next season!

Re: The Official Miami Heat NBA Draft Lottery Thread
Wow, impressive Rose clip Flash. Certainly has more ups then i initially gave him credit for. I think who the top pick is will entirely depend on what the top team is after - a scoring big or a big time point guard.
Heres where I see the needs at so far:-
Minny - Rose/Mayo
LaC - Rose
Miami - Rose/Beasley (cant split em for us)
Chicago - Beasley
Memphis - Hmmm tough, they have scoring wings/bigs (Gay and Gasol) and drafted points (Lowry and Conley)...so its a split decision of Rose/Beasley
Knicks - Rose
Seattle - Rose
Charlotte - Beasley
Philly - Rose/Beasley
Bucks - Beasley
Kings - Beasley
Cavs - Rose
Rockets - Rose
Utah - Beasley
Those are the low 14 teams...and how I see them going if any of em got top pick.
