I'm mad they traded the pick.............I understand I guess

I understand the reasoning behind it anybody who's been a Heat fans know what Riley's MO has always been dude doesn't trust young players and hardly anybody that the Heat have drafted outside of DWade have been allowed to develop ... Riley lives in the now plus the salary cap hit of a guranteed contract wasn't worth it.. Hamilton is definitely going to Europe

You can toss that reasoning out the window. It's Spo's team now, he'll play whoever gets us the win.

Mayo is now unrestricted.

If Jesus doesn't come, what about him off the bench? yay or nay?

Yay. Too bad we don't have enough money to get him. Besides money, he'll probably go to a place where he can get more playing time. If we don't get Allen, I'm hoping we get Billups. A vet like him that can knock down shots and set up our offense in the 4th is something we can use.

But he won't He said on Letterman that he's going 2 London. Seriously, he needs 2 rest and maybe add couple tricks during the offseason. He already won the gold

This team doesnt need someone like Billups slowing the development of our young PG's.

Ok so what's the story on player retirement and cap space. If that money comes off the books Miller needs to spend some time with his family

THE DRAFT DECISION

The Heat dealt the draft rights to the No. 27 pick, Mississippi State big man Arnett Moultrie, to the Philadelphia 76ers to acquire a future first-round pick that is lottery protected through the 2015 season. Miami also acquired the draft rights to the No. 45 pick, LSU forward-center Justin Hamilton.

While the decision to defer on taking in a first-round pick this year allows the high-salaried Heat to avoid additional luxury-tax ramifications, Riley said the move was more about gaining an asset that could also turn into a better draft position than the No. 27 slot as soon as next year. Additionally, Riley said the Heat needed to replenish some of the draft picks they lost in acquiring LeBron James and Chris Bosh to complete sign-and-trade deals in 2010.

"The players that we had on the board were not there at the time, and we felt we had a great option with Philly to be able to get a future first next year," Riley said. "It's lottery protected, but it could be 10 or 11 picks better than this year. So we have back-to-back first-round picks [the next two seasons] and all of our second-round picks."

Chess not checkers, aye Pat.

I think Thabeet made something like 5 million last year

I was thinking they may call Kenyon Martin, now that Odom is going back to LA.

Mike Miller's decision is probably gonna be key to what they can do.
