So Osprey, if you were Otis you would give J.J. up for Haslem without a second thought? Just curious.

Great Junkie!!! Nice to know who the players are, although wouldn't JJ play behind Wade? Seems to me he would not make much of an appearance with them either. I guess he could play with Wade handling the ball for them, but i find it interesting that JJ is the sticking point.

If the Magic get Wilcox while keeping Redick, Hedo, I'd nominate Otis Smith as GM of the century.

If we trade for a PF without trading JJ we MUST trade Bogans or someone else that is infront of JJ so JJ plays b/c if someone big is aquired without JJ being trade I suspect JJ will be very upset with the Magic. Play or trade him.

about jj not playing much on the heat either, he would get serious minutes b/c lots of the time wade runs the offense.

If the Magic wan't to take care of Redick for all the time he' s sat, then Miami would be the best scenerio for uptempo PT,and if miami trades for miller,there gonna be fun to watch. Imagine this linep, Wade, Redick, Miller, Marion, Blount.

I like the Wilcox trade if we can add Bogans to the expiring contracts. Everyone says we should get Haslem but I don't see the Heat dealing him. Miami got rid of the guy they wanted to already, Shaq. He wasn't motivated, in shape, or contributing. They also dumped his big contract.

 

If the heat get Mike Miller, they would have a core of Wade, Marion, Miller, and Haslem. That would be a good team.

Wade should and could slide to the PG spot, then you could start Wade, Miller(could handle the ball alot) Marion, Haslem,blount. That's a nice lineup. If I were the heat I would hold on to him to, he's a fan fav,and he's from miami.

wilcox and haslem both have their advantages. while haslem might show to be a little better at defense wilcox gives us a second low post threat when we rest howard, which we don't have. As i stated above haslem might show to be a better defender b/c playing with shaq and mourning make playing PF a lot easier, while in seattle Wilcox is their only true big always matched up against the other teams best big, instead of being a help defender. While watch them play i realize they both make very nice cuts to the basket when another low post player is being double-teamed. In conclusion i would take which ever deal that makes the most sense if both are available. if miami is asking too much then it is no longer a good deal, if seatle is asking too much it is also not a good deal. Good luck otis

At 6-10 Wilcox could play backup C when D12 sits, to spare us having to watch foyles big ars trying to play,and Cook could play backup PF.

This Wilcox deal is the only trade scenerio i've liked on this board all season.
