I think they need shooters. Diener would make sense as a backup 1. They also played together at Marquette.

Ben Wallace might be a possibility.  I predicted Eddie House in another thread.  James Jones could go back there, especially since they're already paying a portion of his deal.

They have to be thinking shooters. They don't need true PG's or guys that handle the ball. Guys that come to mind that fit that mold:

Shooters-

Diener
Novak
House
Finley
Head
Morrison

This really makes me smile when thinking about who else will be on the heat roster if they sign Lebron.
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

Derek Fisher, Ben Wallace, and Eddie House are all good bets.

Zydrunas Ilgauskas.

If LeBron goes to the Heat, why wouldn't Big Z sign there for a year?

Other solid-ish options:

Jerry Stackhouse
Keyon Dooling
Quentin Richardson
Larry Hughes
Carlos Arroyo
Theo Ratliff
Tracy McGrady
Joel Anthony

..probably more than a few others.  The supporting cast would certainly not be great but it wouldn't necessarily be terrible, either.

The only way I could see this "dream team" doing anything is if they sign ALL these players:

Shaq
Wallace
Blount
Iverson
Marbury

Other than that, they are going to be a 1st round exit due to no depth.

How about Craig Smith? I think he will take a pay cut to play with them.

Did I really just read someone saying the only way the team does anything is if they sign.....and then Mark Blount's name was mentioned?

can Ben Wallace still play? I thought he almost retired back in 2008. Eddie would be a good fit, but might want and get more money elsewhere. I still think Shaq takes the vet min to join this team if they do indeed have lebron. Reports say Bosh will go to miami via sign and trade. Who the heck do the heat have under contract to give in return? Is Beasley enough? Fisher would kill on this Heat team, but there is no way he leaves Kobe and the lakers to go to the most powerful threat to their 3-peat.

Regarding Blount. I think he is past his prime. In his prime he was one of the worst "centers" I have ever seen.
