Flash Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I think so. Riles never offered Beasley which I completely agree with. Why lose out on a guy like Beasley and potential top 20 picks for a guy you can sign no problem in July? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poe Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 It was the best move. The Heat have plenty of options this summer to fill the gaps in the line up, and then some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 It really depends on what Wade thinks, I am the biggest believer in doing whatever it takes to appease your star guy (we lost VC basically for this exact reason). If Wade is satisfied then it was the right choice I suppose, but if trading for Stat would have solidified Wade's commitment to the organization I would have done it. Similar to the Knicks, not as much of course though, the Heat have a lot riding on the 2010 free agency, if they don't land someone it seems like Wade is a goner, trading for Stat would have at least ensured that he would have been there probably, but if they are confident they will sign him in FA, then retaining Beasley was absolutely the right move.

Trading Beasley for Amare would've been a real risk though IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) We are basically guaranteed a big name FA though. Amare, Bosh, and Boozer all want to play here, all we have to do is pay them what they ask. Unless they all decided they no longer like Miami, we should be solid. I might sound over confident but reading up on these things as much as I do, I am almost 100% sure we are gonna sign someone that Wade wants. We don't have idiots running the team, this is Pat Riley we are talking about. Edited February 19, 2010 by SRV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
