I think this is a nice sign.
QUOTE One of the most sough-after prospects in the upcoming NBA draft just might have became a bit more elusive for the Miami Heat.
University of Memphis point guard Derrick Rose concluded his predraft workout with the Chicago Bulls on Thursday, with his representatives indicating there were no plans for Rose to visit Miami before the draft. The Bulls own the first pick in next Thursday's draft, with the Heat holding the second overall pick. Rose and Kansas State forward Michael Beasley are considered the top to prospects in the draft field. |

You know I'm really starting to believe that the Heat are serious about drafting Mayo at #2 if Rose is gone (Which he will be

I don't know if I'd really like to have Mayo as a primary point. He has the ability but I think there would be a large learning curve there. I understand the love for Mayo becuase honestly, he could easily be the best player in this draft (and all teams in the top 3 should be happy because they are getting quality players, imo, all with the ability to be borderline stars).

Yeah I know what you mean, my dad tells me that he think Mayo will probably end up being the best player in this draft when its all said in done. If he can develop that "Kobe Bryant Work Ethic" he's going to be tough to beat, he has all the tools. |

Well thursday is the big day! As the day nears im sure we will continue to hear trade rumors. According to the Boston Globe there is grumblings about a trade with Miami. According to 'them' the Bulls would send Derek Rose, Tyrus Thomas and Larry Hughes to Miami for D. Wade. Thats a hell of a lot to give up for a guy coming off major injuries.
Silly Rumors |

Silly Rumors That sounds more like the trade we would have to make rather than that earlier reported crap about Rose for Wade + Beasley... If that was the trade, I might do it. I guess it all just depends on if we were getting a healthy Wade or not. If he's healthy, then you make that trade and have a sure-thing All-Star on your team for the next 6-7 years. Would Wade handle the point? If so, you could keep Gordon as the off-guard and let him drain 3's when Wade slashes in the paint. Or, you could keep Hinrich for less $$$ than Gordon and have a better all-around player, especially defensively. Either way it's a win-win. Hinrich or Gordon Wade Deng Gooden Noah Not too shabby... |

thats crazy. if we were getting wade and beasley then maybe, but even then im not ready to give up on tyrus just yet. If Wade is healthy, I would have absolutely zero problem with that trade. Wade is an absolutely superstar and if you put him around the remaining cast (Deng/Hinrich/Gordon/Noc/Sef/Noah/Gooden) you are talking about a title contending team and I mean that. The Bulls would be incredibly deep, imo, and not only could they play a slow paced style (utilizing gooden) they could also go small and use Wade/Hinrich/Deng/Noc/Noah and really run (Gordon obviously fits into that as well). IF that was all it took, just sign me up, sign me up. |

There would be enough minutes to go aorund for both Noc/Gordon/Hinrich to get plenty of minutes (two of those guys getting them off the bench along with Sef). Or you could swing the one that doesn't play to a team for another big. |

This trade actually seems like a possibility only because it lets Pax keep most of his babies. I hope it doesn't happen though. D-Wade is too much of an injury risk. |
