Re: There Can Only Be One: Official Heat Draft Night Thread

The new logo is only a secondary logo

Quote:
During the Draft Party, the team will formally unveil a new secondary HEAT logo—the letters MH outlined in yellow, black and red with the letter H featuring the trademark “flaming” tip. The team’s draft picks will sport the official adidas MH Draft cap once they’ve been selected. Miami Hoops Gear will be on-site selling the exclusive MH collection, which includes hats, t-shirts, tank tops, novelties and more for the whole family.

Re: There Can Only Be One: Official Heat Draft Night Thread

According to the herald Miami's considering trading Brand and #7 for the #2. I think this is the most likely trade since I'd LA doesnt do anything with Brand this year they'll lose him for nothing next year..I think this one may actually go Down

Re: There Can Only Be One: Official Heat Draft Night Thread

Who would do -

#2 + Blount + Haslem --> #7 + Brand ?

The supposed trade says marion instead of Blount + Haslem, but I don't like that trade..

I really want Beasley back, I think he'll bring media attention to almost like we had with shaq. He's a rookie, in Miami playing with dwyane and has charisma, the medias going to love him. And its fun to be a heat then.

Pre-draft trading deadline passes without Miami Heat move

By Ira Winderman | Sun-Sentinel.com
2:30 PM EDT, June 26, 2008

The league's 2 p.m. deadline for trades made in advance of tonight's NBA Draft came and went without a move from Pat Riley and the Miami Heat.

Teams must now wait until the 7:30 p.m. start of the draft to consummate deals.

The Heat had little flexibility with the mid-day deadline, because, by rule, it has to exercise its first-round pick, at No. 2, before making a deal.

Under league guidelines, teams must exercise their own first-round pick at least once in any two-year period. Because the Heat's 2009 first-round pick could go to the Minnesota Timberwolves to complete the ill-fated October trade that delivered forward Ricky Davis, Riley is barred from dealing his pick before taking a player tonight at No. 2.

Once the Heat selects at No. 2, a pick that should come around 7:40 p.m., it then would be free to trade that player.

Several other trade rules could also slow the process, should the Heat elect to make a move.

Any deals involving impending free agents cannot be completed until July 9, when the league's annual offseason signing moratorium expires. So if the Heat were to opt to include impending free agents Davis or Jason Williams in such a draft-related package, it would have to wait two weeks.

Also, with the salary-cap calendar changing to 2008-09 on July 1, deals that might not fit under the cap tonight could work by next week. Such a scenario could impact Heat forward Shawn Marion, who this week bypassed his option to become a free agent this summer.

In recent years, it has not been unusual for teams to draft players for other teams, then move them weeks later, once trade rules and salary-cap issues are resolved.

Riley continues to maintain his public silence when it comes to the Heat's plans for tonight.

Re: There Can Only Be One: Official Heat Draft Night Thread

Also from the LA Times

Quote:
The Clippers, who also hold the 35th pick, have tried to move up in the draft. The most detailed talks have been with the Miami Heat and Seattle SuperSonics, to move to the second or fourth overall picks; however, as of Wednesday, both prices were deemed too high.

Re: There Can Only Be One: Official Heat Draft Night Thread

That Sonics and Clippers trade has to change something for us.

I guess Seattle found Miami was asking for too much and decided to just move down instead?

Chad Ford is also saying that Memphis is looking to move down so that would get them out as a trading partner too

Quote:
The Memphis Grizzlies like Eric Gordon and Kevin Love. But it is looking more and more likely that they will trade away their No. 5 pick on draft night.

The New Jersey Nets and the Grizzlies are in talks about a trade that would send the No. 5 pick to New Jersey for the No. 10 pick and a future first-round pick.

If the Nets move to No. 5, it appears they are looking at two guys who might not be on the board at No. 10: Danilo Gallinari and Love.

The Nets are big fans of both players and were hoping one of them would fall to No. 10. Gallinari would give the Nets a sharp shooter with great passing skills and good experience in Europe.

However, Love is more NBA ready. He has great strength and skills, although some teams worry about his lack of size.

It's unclear what the Grizzlies are thinking if they move to No. 10. They need a power forward and could look at LSU's Anthony Randolph. They also could scoop up Gallinari if the Nets pass on him at No. 5 and the New York Knicks pass on him at No. 6.

Re: There Can Only Be One: Official Heat Draft Night Thread

Jay bilas is supposedly breaking the story of a trade including one of the top five lottery teams. I'm guessing is this clippers-sonics trade.
