He deserves to be on a better team. Unfortunately things haven't worked out for him since his trip to the Finals with the Magic.

I keep thinking back to how Courtney Lee's could have been totally different had he made the buzzer alley-oop with Orlando against the Lakers in game 2 (? if my memory is right) of the Finals... He really impressed a lot of people as a rookie but he never reached another gear.

Too bad he can't convince any team to keep him for more than two or three seasons but I think he will fit well in Charlotte.

Unloading Birdman was a big financial move for the Heat.

Any chance they end up drafting 14th and convey that pick to the Nuggets this year?

Thinking the same thing...TP

Anderson, another big going out and Roberts a small guy coming in.

That snake Riley is far from done. Hoping they don't get Horford or Howard or both.

Maybe he'd like Sully plus whatever for Winslow.

It makes perfect sense. They need another guard now that Tyler Johnson is out for the year and they wanted out of their financial obligation to Birdman, who isn't a factor.

What's more important: filling the void of Tyler Johnson when you have D-Wade still relatively healthy, or filling the void of Chris Bosh, who may miss the rest of the season again unfortunately.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

Thanks!  it does seem like a 3 way to get Horford or Howard to Mia. Riley may want a re-do of 2006 with older Shaq and younger Wade with a 2016 version of Older Howard or Horford and Older Wade.

On what planet is Birdman, in the year 2016, going to fill the void left behind by Bosh? He has literally played 36 minutes over seven games all season. He's 37 years old.

interesting thought but what does Miami have left to trade out for either of those players?  I can't see them sending out Winslow and I don't think anyone else on the roster would appeal to either Hou or Atl.
