Heat 2012 Off-Season Thread

Ray Allen would be great off the bench here. I think if he could play less minutes you'd see him be very effective and deadly come playoff time.

[Jace]

Yeah he has the proper mindset to hit big 3's, unlike our current lot of shooters.

[Dee-Zy]

As much as I love Allen as a person, professional and his fit with the team, our greater need is still a big man.

Stupid question because I don't really see it as a viable thing happening.

How do you guys feel about getting a 1-2 year deal out of Garnett? I hate him but watching him this season, tells me that he can still help the heat for another 2-3 seasons.

Garnett will not leave the Celtics. It's another contract from there or retirement. He's not a guy to jump on a contender.

Even though I hate him though, it'd be amazing.

Spo says its time to release the beast. Curry is active.

...For what? Practice? Lunch? Sexually?

Garnett here would be amazing, but yeah, do not see that happening. Celtic or bust for KG i'd say.

Big man is priority #1. If we can get a competent big and another quality vet (my pipe dream is Steve Nash, but that's a HUUUUGE long shot) - we'd be great.

Miami Heat guard Mike Miller on Monday denied a report that he would retire at the end of the NBA Finals, reports the Palm Beach Post‘s Ethan Skolnick.

The 32-year-old, in his 12th NBA season, has battled back injuries throughout the season. He also had thumb and shoulder surgery last offseason and missed the start of this season after hernia surgery.

“At this point, everybody’s a little banged up,” Miller told the Post. “Everybody’s going through things. I’ll re-evaluate my health after the season. But I don’t have anything set up. I don’t know what’s going to happen.”

Mike Miller lurches around like Frankenstein out there. I mean you have to respect his drive and the fact he always looks like hes trying hard out there, but man I hope for your sake he retires.

[Wade County]

He is breaking down BAD. Shame, because if he ever was healthy, he'd be a great fit.

Wouldn't be all that surprised to see him retire if we won the chip, honestly. Would probably be a good thing for both parties.

[Dee-Zy]

If Allen jump ship, Pierce is traded. I don't see why KG would retire. I think he should chase a ring with Miami.

What do you mean he's not a guy to jump on a contender? Did you forget all about his move to the Celtics?

Yeah, Miller is like a sputtering old car running on fumes.

I forgot if it was Mike Breen or who, but the other day I remember hearing someone say Garnett didn't want to leave Minnesota. No, he didn't want to go to Boston until they traded for Allen. He demanded Minny trade him.
