Well Dampier is gone and camby rumor.

Heat getting booed out of their own building... haha. Awesome.

Trading Camby for anything less than an impact player that will help in the future would be pointless. His contract is only two years long and the Blazers are a playoff and he's the best center on the roster. Trading him for esentially cap space would be dumb considering the Blazers can't really do anything substantial with it.

you guys are crazy, all stories involving teams from Portland and Miami are broken by sports radio hosts from Connecticut.

Fuck Miami! We have the same record they do. Not interested in helping them at all.

2017 will be here before you know it. There's a 12 year old in Los Angeles I have my eye on. But, never mind her. Who could we draft in 2017?

This post just made me laugh harder than anything else on S2. Congratulations.

Damnit barfo, how are the rest of us supposed to compete with that?

Uhm, Miami gave 2 picks, I believe, to Toronto. And 2 to Cleveland. And picks can't be in successive years. So let's assume 2011-Toronto, 2013-Cleveland, 2015, Toronto, 2017, Cleveland. So, no, it's not 3 picks in the first round for us this season. It's looking at a first in 2019. Awesome return.

Just talking about 1st round picks for Przybilla--Cleveland can exchange any 2 picks in the years 2013-17, right? That was for LeBron. When did Miami trade 1st rounders to Toronto? Or are you talking about 2nd rounders?

Miami and Toronto worked out a S&T for both Bosh and Lebron. Cleveland got 2013 and 2015 first rounders, as well as the right to swap picks in, I think, 2012. Toronto got their own 2011 pick back from I think the Jermain O'Neal deal. Or Shawn Marion. And Miami's 2011 first round pick. As well as 2 second rounders, I believe. So the earliest they could move one would be 2017. Now, granted their big 3 will likely be gone by then, but I don't want to move a player right now for a pick 7 years down the road. And since Cho will likely be judged and fired on performance, I don't think he wants to secure a pick 7 years from now for an asset.

Thanks, I had forgotten that. Afterward, the articles kept appearing about Miami's golden future, but never reminded us that they lost a half-decade's worth of first round picks. Their barren future in the draft should be in every such article.

After resigning Kobe, I don't think the Lakers cared about abandoning their draft picks, or drafting poorly. They even signed Bynum to a pretentious contract and it didn't hurt them much.

The Heat will improve, simply because historically teams with their margins of victory have higher potential.

If we want to win now: we should keep Camby this year
If we want to win in long term: we should keep Camby because he would be our only big expiring contract next season. seems like this should be worth more on the open market than a late 1st rounder this year
