• ASK IRA: What if Bosh but not ‘Bron?

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Q: If the super team doesn’t happen and LeBron doesn’t join the Heat but Miami is still able to get Bosh, would it have any chance at trading for another big-time player, like Chris Paul or Carmelo Anthony? — Rob.

  A: I think the Heat would fill in with “pieces” then, [...]

• The arguments for and against superpowers

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Soon the calls, rumors, reports, Tweets and titillation will give way to cold, hard facts.

  That’s the good part of July 1.

  The other part is that dreams also could be shattered, the type of dreams that have created hope over these past few weeks and months.

  All Dwyane [...]

• ASK IRA: Why tie up cap space with Anthony?

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Q: I don’t understand the logic of making a qualifying offer to Joel Anthony when they just cleared more cap space by buying out Jones? I know we need bodies, but they need every dollar they can get. — Jeffrey.

  A: The Heat can rescind the qualifying offer at any time and [...]

• LeBron strategy: Offense or defense?

  Number of comments: 10
  

  When this whole LeBron derby started, the approach by potential rival suitors was going to be how James needed to get out of Cleveland, make a clean break, find a place where he could win individual hardware.

  Then, at midseason, after the Knicks opened enough cap space at the trading deadline [...]

• ASK IRA: How soon before free-agent agreements are announced?

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Q: First, I have to say that I cannot remember any other time in NBA history that so many impact players were available at the same time. Of course, being a Heat fan and season-ticket holder isn’t bad, either. It’s fun. Now, my question: If teams can start speaking with [...]

• The ultimate free-agency three-for-all

  Number of comments: 10
  

  So what to make of talk of this ultimate free-agency three-for-all, a pairing of Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and LeBron James?

  First, exhale.

  Then stop worrying about the rest of the equation, that the Heat would have to round out its roster with 12 other players making the minimum salary.

• ASK IRA: Is Bosh’s anti-center stance a deal breaker?

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Q: I’ve read a number of times where Bosh says that he’s made it clear entering free agency that he will remain a power forward. If that can be taken at face value, it somewhat sets us behind. With Bosh at center, we potentially, already have power forward filled with [...]

• The truth? Free agency can’t handle the truth

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Granted there are advantages to waking up on a Sunday morning in New York. The bagels taste better, the streets aren’t as crowded, and there are plenty of reading options.

  So you pick up the New York Times and learn that the Bulls are the favorites in free-agency to sign LeBron [...]

• ASK IRA: What about using cap space in trades?

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Q: I feel it is often overlooked that with the kind of cap space the Heat has created it is not only limited to free agents. It could actually make some noise just picking up fat contracts that teams are willing to shed. For instance, Okafor of the Hornets or [...]

• LeBron tour being off means game on for Heat

  Number of comments: 10
  

  So this is what we’re left with, debating the set up of free agency instead of how free-agency sets up?

  These, indeed, are strange times.

  But since it now appears that LeBron James not only will not take a free-agent tour, but rather will summon invited guests for presentations, it does change [...]
