sfladave Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 The Heat just got scarry good. No wonder Riley was talking about making a comeback to coaching. Linky MIAMI -- In the largest trade in NBA history, Antoine Walker was dealt from Boston to Miami on Tuesday night in a transaction involving five teams and 13 players. The Heat also acquired point guard Jason Williams and small forward James Posey from Memphis, while the Grizzlies received guard Eddie Jones from the Heat. The New Orleans Hornets and Utah Jazz were also involved in the deal. The trade was larger than a 12-player, four-team deal in 2000 involving Patrick Ewing that had been the biggest in league history. Miami also received Andre Emmett from Memphis and the draft rights to Roberto Duenas from the Hornets; Utah received Greg Ostertag from Memphis; Boston picked up Curtis Borchardt from Utah and a package -- Qyntel Woods, the draft rights to Albert Miralles, two second-round draft picks and cash -- from Miami; New Orleans acquired Rasual Butler from Miami and Kirk Snyder from Utah; and the Grizzlies received guard Raul Lopez from the Jazz.

mendezownsyou Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Speaking of the Heat, Niagara's own Juan Mendez is on the summer team It would be real nice to see him make the team, but its looking like a longshot, he'll most likely end up playing somewhere in Europe.

Rubes Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Holy crap, the Jazz got Ostertag back??!? He was overpaid and worthless the first time around, what makes them think he'll be any better this time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyT Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Why is it that the (major) sport with the fewest number of personnel always has the biggest trades? Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R. Rich Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 The Heat could still use a bit more muscle inside, especially considering Shaq is wearing down due to age and injuries (even though he's still a dominant low post presence). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also kept Mike Doleac, although he is not exactly a defensive stopper. The Heat will be awfully tough this year. They are also talking of going after Michael Finley if he is cut loose.

Next time they're on TV, check out the stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's put it this way, I have a better chance of Rachel Hunter walking into my office in the next 10 minutes and begging for some hot monkey lovin.

It does seem like I've been seeing more and more non-caucasians around here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
