I expected this since Miami need a veteran who can shoot from long.

Makes sense, best way to throw the middle finger at LA for not signing him... Fisher was done regular season, they better hope he has a switch.

[Celtics Fan]

FREAKIN WHO! We have the NEW YORK YANKEES OF BASKETBALL GUYS. Next they are going after Chris Paul.

[Mike-Dub]

Good let him go there.  He'd be better off going back to LA.  He had one good quarter against us in the Finals and one big three in game 7.  The guy isn't good.  

[Donoghus]

Make no bones about it, Fisher to the Miami would be a good move for the Heat and a decent size setback for the Lakers.

As much as I hate to say it.  It would be a good move for the Heat, but it won't be a decent size setback for the Lakers since they've gotten Steve Blake.

Losing Fisher and letting Farmar while adding Steve Blake and whatever is a setback for the Lakers.

People are too enamored of Blake.

I didn't think of Farmar gone though.  If they lose Farmar and Fisher it will be a setback.  I think one of the two stays though. 

I really think Fisher could go to the Heat though.  I would not be surprised at all.

Where are they getting all this money?!?!?!?! They truly are becoming the Yankees of the NBA...

[wdleehi]

The move makes sense since it will be Wade and Lebron running point.


I expect to hear names like House soon as well.


(and even Scali?)

This.

I get how they they can do the Mike Miller trade...but wont Brad Miller and Fisher be paid vet min?

According to ESPN, Bron Wade and Bosh all took less money. Bron & Bosh's salaries start at $14.5m instead of $16.6m and Wade's starts at $14.2 so total salary with Chalmers (not including roster holds) is only $44.2m, leaving about $14m to spend.

So Heats can offer Mike Miller $5 million and Haslem $6.1 million and filled the rest of roster with veteran minimum.

Is that correct?

If so, then that leads me to think that with the lock out possibly looming will a lot of players jump at the vet min offer, when there are a bunch of teams that can pay them more than vet min?
