Sun-Sentinel: Miami Heat

• 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 [...]

• ASK IRA: Is free agency going to be agonizing?

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Q: There are how many teams now going for broke in free agency? There are some teams that are going to come out of this looking like fools for giving away players, picks, etc. If two go to Chicago and one to Miami, that leaves the Heat, Nets and Knicks [...]

• Max more of an abstract than reality

  Number of comments: 10
  

  For weeks now, as the July 1 start of free agency approaches, we’ve been bombarded by the concept of a “max free agent.”

  He doesn’t exist.

  No, we’re not saying there aren’t players that aren’t deserving, although we’d probably cap the list of worthy 2010 candidates at LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Dirk [...]

• ASK IRA: Has Chicago already won free agency?

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Q: The “experts” seem to already have everything figured out. Apparently Chicago is the most desirable location to any and all free agents. Period. Ira, please tell me by mid-July I’ll be able to look back on these moments and laugh at how nobody even gave Miami a fighting chance. – Kevin.

  A: I guess that [...]

• Chris Bosh: Friend or foe?

  Number of comments: 10
  

  A week or two from now, Chris Bosh could become the best thing to happen to the Heat this offseason, should he sign on as a free agent.

  For now, though, Bosh seems to be doing his best to dampen South Florida’s enthusiasm over the process.

  Chris Bosh [...]

• ASK IRA: Does Beasley still need to be sacrificed?

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Q: Unless we truly can bring in two studs such as ‘Bron and Bosh, Gay and Amare, I do not think it is a good idea to sell Michael at his lowest value. Shouldn’t we hold on to him at this stage? — Shawn.

  A: Actually, the Heat now has enough [...]

• The space race officially has blasted off

  Number of comments: 10
  

  There is no way the Heat stops with a mere $3.4 million in added salary-cap space, after trading its No. 18 first-round pick and guard Daequan Cook for Oklahoma City’s No. 32 selection in the second round.

  With Michael Beasley and Mario Chalmers potentially the only two Heat players who might [...]

• Making a mockery out of the draft process

  Number of comments: 10
  

  (Never mind. The pick has been traded to Oklahoma City. Updated blog coming shortly.)

  It would be disingenuous to sit here and offer who I think the Heat is going to select with the 18th pick in Thursday’s NBA Draft, because I’m not sure the Heat will pick 18th or if [...]
