Sun-Sentinel: Miami Heat

• ASK IRA: Has the Heat squandered cap space?

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Q: How does Heat feel about or respond to the master plan of creating tons of cap space only to foul it up with ugly mistakes like Beasley, James Jones and Cook? — Mike.

  A: I think “mistake” is way overboard for Mike, and to a lesser degree also true with [...]

• Another domino falls in the wake of Shaq

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Let’s see: Stan Van Gundy, Terry Porter, Mike Brown and, now, Danny Ferry.

  Sure, this certainly is a LeBron James story, and almost solely a LeBron James story.

  But the reality is that Danny Ferry is just the latest coaching or management piece to take the fall shortly after the arrival of [...]

• ASK IRA: Does it make any sense to sell off Beasley?

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Q: Why give up Beasley for nothing to clear cap space? He still has more talent than 90 percent of the players in the league and his big crime is smoking pot and being immature? Gee, how shocking for a 20-year-old. Don’t sell an asset at the low. We’ve seen the moments. Find a [...]

• The value of jettisoning Beasley into space

  Number of comments: 10
  

  The indignation in response to the rumor that the Heat essentially had offered Michael Beasley to the Nets for cap space is understandable. (Especially since it has since been confirmed that the Heat never made such an offer.)

  After all, 14.8 points and 6.4 rebounds per game are tangible numbers.

  Cap space? [...]

• ASK IRA: Did Heat offer Beasley for Dooling?

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Q: I just saw a report that Miami offered Beasley to the Nets for Keyon Dooling and the Nets turned it down. Have you ever heard of a more ridiculous story printed in the history of the NBA? — Justin.

  A: It’s not that ridiculous. Here’s the deal: While Keyon is due [...]

• ‘Miami’ and ‘Heat’ missing from LeBron interview

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Having read the entire transcript of the Larry King interview with LeBron James, it is difficult to determine which is the more difficult basketball experience:

  Actually sitting through Friday’s 9 p.m. televised interview on CNN or trying to sit one more time through Just Wright.

  The [...]

• ASK IRA: How would LeBron staying impact free agency?

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Q: If LeBron re-signs with the Cavs do you think Chris Bosh is a lock to sign with the Heat? — Eric.

  A: No, I don’t think anything is a lock. If LeBron re-signs with the Cavaliers, I think the first thing the Cavaliers try to do is sign-and-trade for Bosh, [...]

• LeBron speaks! Cleveland (and Miami) rejoices?

  Number of comments: 10
  

  For all of the fantasy foolishness about LeBron James coming to South Florida, the reality is that he otherwise would least impact the Heat by remaining in Cleveland.

  Because there is no way Dwyane Wade is going to Cleveland. (And even that would require the Heat signing off on a most [...]

• ASK IRA: Can Wade accept sharing the offense?

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Q: The only way Wade is going to co-exist on a team with another superstar is if he goes back to his Olympic style of play. Yes we had Shaq, but he didn’t need the ball as much as a Bosh or LeBron or Amare would need it. Did Wade ever [...]

• Or, perhaps, Boozer, Johnson and Wade

  Number of comments: 10
  

  The desire and need for length for the Heat is undeniable.

  It is why Chris Bosh and Amare Stoudemire have stood as the free-agency focus.

  But what if the Heat chooses to make the process clean and efficient?

  Carlos Boozer would relish the chance to play [...]
