Sun-Sentinel: Miami Heat

• ASK IRA: Does James Jones make sense again?

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Q: It’s funny that the Heat was always so frustrated the past few years with one-dimensional players, such as Jones, that couldn’t create their own shots and were basically just spot-up shooters. But now, it’s pretty much exactly what the Heat needs. — Moshe.

  A: It’s one thing to have specialists [...]

  Speaking in front of his locker before Sunday’s Summer Groove charity game at AmericanAirlines Arena, Dwyane Wade kept referring to “character guys.”

• ASK IRA: Is Shaq-Heat now officially dead?

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Q: Shaq could be the one to clog the paint when need be. Anyways, all I have read about Shaq is rumors. Can you give me any leads and why do you think Shaq isn’t coming to Miami? Could it still be a possibility? — J.J.

  A: I don’t think the [...]

• Debating the dozen: A look at the Heat’s new core

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Thoughts as the Heat roster swells (or is about to) to a dozen:

  There could be no clearer signal sent to Shaquille O’Neal that there is no desire for a reunion. Once Jamaal Magloire’s deal becomes official, it will leave the Heat with four centers under contract, when counting Zydrunas Ilgauskas, [...]

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Q: Carlos Arroyo finished second in the NBA in assist-to-turnover ratio, has a good shooting percentage and is a good ballhandler. He he had a good season last year. What’s the holdup? — Jesus.

• No Penny for Hardaway’s thoughts

  Number of comments: 10
  

  First, all the perspective you will need:

  Penny Hardaway was released by the Miami Heat on Dec. 12, 2007 to make room for Luke Jackson.

  Just for emphasis, allow us to repeat that last part of that sentence, “. . . to make room for Luke Jackson.”

  Penny Hardaway [...]

• ASK IRA: Will the Beasley deal bite the Heat?

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Q: I feel bad for Michael Beasley (even with all the money he makes). I definitely think he’s going to be a star one day. But as we all know, Riley is about winning now. It just bothers me that we essentially traded a 21-year-old future star for a 30-year-old [...]

• Mike Miller to be measured against Beasley

  Number of comments: 10
  

  There is no way to get around it:

  The Heat essentially traded Michael Beasley for Mike Miller and two second-round picks.

  The second-round picks came from the salary-cap dump of Beasley on the Minnesota Timberwolves.

  Michael Beasley said he is looking forward to his fresh start in Minnesota.

  The salary-cap [...]

• ASK IRA: Could T-Mac be in play for the Heat?

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Q: Do you see Riley giving Tracy McGrady a chance if he agrees to sign for the minimum? I’d be much happier with spending money on a defensive player like Matt Barnes. — Taylor.

  A: Here’s my issue with the ilk of a T-Mac: With Wade, LeBron and Miller in the perimeter [...]

• In free agency, timing is everything

  Number of comments: 10
  

  So why isn’t this all moving faster?

  Why are we hearing Mike Miller is locked up? Juwan Howard is on the verge?

  And yet, nothing (at least as of this posting).

  Here’s why:

  Juwan Howard: Delivered, just not signed and sealed.

  Free agency is a process, one that has to follow [...]
