This Summer of 2010 is really getting on my nerves.. Here are my two cents about it.
I think this summer of 2010 is being as over-hyped as Windows Vista was when it first came out… I don’t see anything major happening. I think LeBron will stay in Cleveland, and Wade will stay in Miami..
No, Wade isn’t going to Chicago.. the Bulls are like the Cubs they are cursed ever since the great Jordan left. The Bulls are a one man team… It’s the Rose show and the future of that franchise is riding on the point guard’s ailing ankle. Why would Wade leave Miami to go to a team that is worse? He isn’t just going to go to the Bulls because it’s his home town and he idolizes Michael Jordan. 
LeBron to the Clippers? Is that even a relevant team? I thought the only team in LA was the Lakers… That rumor probably came from some Clipper that got annoyed with Blake Griffin not playing and he made the LeBron rumor. Okay.. so Wade and Lebron in New York. No, that won’t work, LeBron nor Wade want to play in that mess that we call Knicks. Sorry to break the news to you guys, Wade and LeBron are staying in their respective places… Miami and Cleveland.
Where else could Wade go? Give me a place you think he can go and I’ll shut it down because it would be as dumb as the HEAT Message Boards telling us Riley is actually thinking of a trade with Houston that will send Wright and O’Neal to Houston for Tracy McGrady…
Now, How about the other players. How about Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudemire, Manu Ginobili, Carlos Boozer, and Tracy McGrady? Here is what Miami is going to do. They should go after Chris Bosh and Carlos Boozer. No, they shouldn’t go after LeBron James, regardless what Wade said about thinking he “want” to play with James.. No, he really doesn’t. Wade is a superstar and so is James, they can’t co-exist in a NBA Team.
Bosh and Boozer would be great for Miami. They can move Bosh to the center position, put Boozer in the power forward, Beas in the small forward, Wade at shooting guard, and Chalmers running the point. That’s a monster roster. then with the money left we should sign some second-tier free agents who are willing to sign for less money in order to play with a championship contender.
I know many of you people don’t agree with me leaving Chalmers as the point.. Well though, I think Chalmers is the next Rajon Rondo of the NBA. Give him time, he will flourish under a star-studded team much like Rondo.

I don’t see how Beasley can play SF and Bosh C in the same lineup… I think if they sign Bosh they need to trade Beasley for a SF/C or PG.
I don’t see Chalmers as having nearly the talent of Rondo.. he hasn’t established himself as a playmaking point guard, a deft ball handler, or a rebounding force like Rondo has. Chalmers is much more of a role player type. With Wade’s reluctance to be a primary point guard, the Heat definitely need to upgrade at the position.
I’d be happy if he turned into Derek Fisher. If he embraced that type of player to emulate, he’d be better off.

I would give Chalmers a bit more time to blossom.
I’m not a huge fan of trading Beas. don’t get me wrong, i was last year.. but this year i’ve grown found of him and his playing abilities. he’s a great player once given a chance. Who would we trade beas for?

Great article Pedro but i just cant see Beas at the 3. When hes playing his best this year its at the 4 where he takes advantage of the slower 4s in the league. I see Mike as a PF and notin but that. Tell me what you think…

We will not be able to afford both Bosh and Boozer if we want to retain Wade. Bosh wants a max contract and rightly so, and Boozer will want something close to it (even though I don’t think he will get more than $15-17 Mill). We should go for Amar’e in my opinion. He can play the 5 better than Bosh can and even though he isn’t great defensively, he’ll improve on the HEAT with our strict defensive system (just look at Beasley). He also wants a max contract. We can afford a max contract, Wade, and retain all of our player option contracts, etc. As for Beasley at the 3, no. Just no. He is gonna be a 4 and if anything else will sometimes play the 5, and that’s it.
