Well this could be one of those threads that looks pretty foolish down the road, but it looks like things are starting to go south for the Heat right now. In addition to injuries to Dragic, and the start of lingering injuries for Wade, they now just saw Whiteside crumple in a heap on their homecourt untouched. They have been playing very average basketball prior to these injuries and are in danger of falling under .500 shortly.

They have a lot of aging players locked into contracts. Imagine how bleak things could be without winslow.

Funny.  When I suggested a couple weeks ago that the Miami pick might end up being late lottery, you called me a Sixers fanatic.  Welcome to fanaticism.

I'm still dreaming of the day Pat Riley decides what this team is a bench bolstered by some veteran talent and calls up Danny Ainge, offering Winslow. I know Winslow has been a terrible shooter so far in Miami but I'd still love to unclog some of the roster and bring in an athletic young talent.

I don't think it's going to happen, though.

I think we have the Heat's second round pick this year.  Let's hope for another high second round pick with 76rs and Wolves pick.  :P

Not if LeBron takes his talents back to South Beach, and Dwight Howard joining up with him along with Wade and Bosh.

Then somewhere Riley will also find a way to pitch Melo in.

PG - Dwyane Wade
SG - LeBron James
SF - Carmelo Anthony
PF - Chris Bosh
C - Dwight Howard

That's one dangerous and nightmarish lineup for the entire league lol.  8)

aside from the ingestion of drugs and/or alcohol, would you please provide a basis for your belief that these moves will occur?  ;D

Come on the only correct center for that team would be Darko Milicic.

MIA was under-performing for a while despite an extreme early imbalance in home vs road games. They've been projected behind the Cs for a while because of it. ESPN's has them seeded 8th ahead of NYK, CHA, and WAS who are all projected to be in the high 30 win territory. If ESPN's model is like most of the other predictive models, it should vary +/- 3 games and thus have 39-45 wins. Currently 57% chance of being in the playoffs and if so, would end up with the 17th pick. If they do fall into the lottery, it's going to be at the very end and the pick is top 10 protected anyhow, Severe injuries or major moves can blow things out of the water either way, but IIRC, MIA doesn't have much leeway to get better at the trade deadline given their tight cap situation.

JMO, but that pick (or our BOS and DAL picks) are strictly a crapshoot in what looks to be a weaker draft than the last 2, but better than 2013. IOW, top 10 or bust is where you want to be,

You guys can laugh it up if you want. Any team that sees its starting center, point guard, small forward all get injured in a 3 week span is going to have its outlook changed. If it was just wade it's one thing, but dragic,deng and whiteside don't have a history of injuries
