GROW UP! ok by far the most moronic thing I have heard was from you. Why does anyone need to toot their own horn and say "BREAKING NEWS: Heat will get a second round pick from the Magic this year."" The point is he was first and he does not sit on his site and say "BREAKING NEWS" all the time. He puts out what he hears and that to me is more of an insider versus someone that has to always get on a soap box saying they have an exclusive story. your reasoning has to be the lamest I have ever heard. Point is on June 5th he told us what Riley wanted for bare minimum compensation. He also told us the league was inolved with the Billy situation and now with the Riley situation. It may or may not come out how much the league was involved, but it did come out after MC that David Starn may step in an ban Billy. How do you expect any of us fans to hear everything that goes on behind close doors with upper management? Bottom line is MC has sources that reach beyond just his ones with the Magic and for people that have followed him we know he has a much better track record than any local media and that is all I care about. Instead of getting all bent yesterday when reports were Stan was headed to the Kings I read what MC had to say. He calmed me down and I kept the fait. he was the only place I could find any hope that Stan may still be our coach. He was right and I appreciate him for that. It is much better than reading the roller coaster the Sentinel has provided since the day the season ended. Look back at the Sentinel's column's over the last month. First Hill stays, then he may have to change, then he will be fired, then he will be staying, then they quote him saying he felt he was staying, then he was fired. Then we look at Billy, then no way we talked to Billy, then we talked to Vincent, then no way we talked to Vincent, then we interview Iavaronis, then the Magic confirm we never interviewed Iavaroni, then Billy signs, then billy walks, then it will drag out all week, then the Magic refute that and release him, then Stan has decided on the Kings, then he is now the coach of the Magic. Reading the Sentinel & Florida Today over the last month has made me realize how out of touch these beat writers really are. Just wait until free agency and Schmitz has us signing everyone possibly available just to cover his assss when we sign a player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Heat has the No. 20 pick but did not have a second-round pick. http://www.miamiherald.com/594/story/131860.html Man, that sucks we gave away our first 2nd rounder. That was a pretty good pick.

random 19 Report post Posted June 7, 2007 Good to see Riley talking nice about Stan, even saying he is the best young coach in the NBA. I know he is partially saying this just because he wanted draft picks from us, but still it's a nice compliment from a man who has been there and done that. quote: MIAMI, FL, June 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
