They can't develop young talent unless they're freakishly amazing to begin with like Dwyane Wade.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11186246285285423637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267668027513828752.post-42909610361445063462010-03-10T18:21:22.208-05:002010-03-10T18:21:22.208-05:00i could see riley using the 2 picks in combination...i could see riley using the 2 picks in combination to move up and get a guy he really wants. dont see riley taking 2 draft picks this yr or any year. if you make 2 mistakes with those picks, you're doneadrianw743https://www.blogger.com/profile/10341937637972766019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267668027513828752.post-39025435443336917712010-03-10T18:19:57.723-05:002010-03-10T18:19:57.723-05:00junior epke udoh 6-10 pf/c from baylor that riley ...junior epke udoh 6-10 pf/c from baylor that riley was scouting last weekend, along with possible lottery selection freshman hassan whiteside 7-0 c from marshall who riley also scouted when he went against SMU. the others mentioned as paul george and larry sanders have been linked to other teams i dont know much about. stanley robinson from uconn could be someone who we might have interest in as a 6-9 sf who has some athleticism but is alil older at 22adrianw743https://www.blogger.com/profile/10341937637972766019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267668027513828752.post-30559230610652267952010-03-10T17:52:21.169-05:002010-03-10T17:52:21.169-05:00man.

With cap space this off-season we can hopefully land better talent. If we do, we will be able to pick up talent at lower salaries to be role players. Also, our team could be strengthened by veterans who get buy outs - hopefully they work out better than Rafer.Cyrus The Virushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139216579892672302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267668027513828752.post-5312991746843066782010-03-10T10:41:33.576-05:002010-03-10T10:41:33.576-05:00No matter how I look at it, we should have been de...No matter how I look at it, we should have been dealing this year, now this upcoming one.<br /><br />Our starting 5 (which we could have had if we released our expiring contracts):<br />PG: Wade<br />SG: S.

Riley loves using draft picks to sweeten trades, I expect him to use both draft picks in sign&trades.<br /><br />The reason....because they just use up draft space, they likely won't be better than anything he could get with a min salary for a few years.A New Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778499935882864734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267668027513828752.post-73882900572452758612010-03-10T03:22:24.321-05:002010-03-10T03:22:24.321-05:00I could use help in identifying 2010 nba draft tal...I could use help in identifying 2010 nba draft talent. I am pretty sure Miami is or has considered these guys that I mentioned, but they are probably only 1/10 of the big picture. <br /><br />I went through a lot of guys that I did not think would be a fit. As of right now, I would probably trade the pick rather than risk missing on a first round pick again... thanks DaeQuan, Dorell, Wayne Simien and Mario Chalmers (two second rounders) for making me resent the draft beyond pick 10.<br /><br />I'm sure with more research, we could identify some real talent, but I'm not confident in my ability to predict their NBA impact. I was pretty much on board with all of our recent draft picks, except Dorell - I loved Josh and JR Smith who went directly ahead of us and then Jameer Nelson, who went right after but I knew he was too undersized to be picked by Riley. I had no idea that Kevin Martin was gonna be so good, and he went 7 spots later.<br /><br />Anyway, lots of time until the team has to make these decisions, but we are going have to do better than in the past. We have unearthed some talent in the second round - Rasual Butler and Eddie House (whom I rebounded for and threw passes to as he went through drills at Arizona State in preparation for the NBA draft - I was 100% behind this draft pick, but Michael Redd ended up being the better prospect and he went a few picks later). Caron Butler, Dwyane Wade and Michael Beasley are the only studs we have drafted and they were all top 10 picks. <br /><br />I think we'll be lucky to get one star player out of this draft and I think that is the only good reason to draft a player - because you think he'll be a star. Otherwise, I am on board with Riley, sign veterans because you tend to get more consistency and less disappointment.Cyrus The Virushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139216579892672302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267668027513828752.post-16296665540752933162010-03-10T02:38:27.322-05:002010-03-10T02:38:27.322-05:00Alright. 4 blog posts.
