  Well there you have it.
  No one "wasted" a pick on him and he earned his spot as a defensive guy I supposed through the CBA, something Craft could attempt to do by playing overseas.

  Thabo can't even get away with it anymore. And craft has no shot at making a roster.

  Most players drafted this year...
  
  3 each for:
  UCLA
  Michigan
  Mega Vizura(Serbia)
  
  One of these three do not belong. Don't tell the Sixers that though, 2 of the 3 Mega Vizura players were drafted by Philly.

  Udonis Haslem had opted out. Which isn't one of the big 2 left, but it does free up some space for Miami.
• wildcats20

  

  Wade has opted out.
• wildcats20

  

  Bosh will also opt out.
• Pick6

  

  I'll LOL if the Heat re-sign him. I'll also LOL if they don't.
• like_that

  

  So basically their 2nd collusion plan is in the works. Great product the NBA has.

  They all had to opt out to have any chance of puttin the team back together anyways. Nothing to write home about

  Heat now have the most cap space in the NBA. Hope they GFT

  Apparently Lebron wants a max deal, which is 5 years, $130 million

  Lebron should get a max deal. It's everyone else who is going to have to come cheap.

  Looks like the bucks are flirting with sending a first round pick to get J Kidd from the nets.

  Where'd you see this? I don't doubt the validity, I was expecting that to come out anyways, to put pressure on Riley

  I didn't see a number, but I saw a tweet saying Bron would more than likely be seeking the max.
• KB0938

  Lebron gets a Max, not a chance they can afford Wade and Bosh unless they both take big big paycuts, or they have absolutely no money left to sign bench players. Even less than before lol

  Miami just needs a piece of two, question is will they be able to afford it and who is out there available to get?

  A piece or two? They were garbage outside of Lebron wade and bosh.

  Only against the Spurs, supporting cast was fine against everyone else. Why they didn't play Michael Beasley doesn't make sense to me. They need to be a bit younger, obviously upgrade over terrible Mario Chalmers, and find a piece or two off the bench that can score and create some offense.
• KB0938

  They were far from a piece or two from winning a title. If LBJ signs a max deal, theyre really gonna have to pull some strings to be a championship team. Especially if( big if i know) Rose comes back healthy and Chicago signs Melo. That Chicago team with a healthy rose and Melo is better than Miami's team last year, and probably this coming year to barring some kind of crazy pick up by them
  
  I wish this shit would hurry up and happen, Im curious to see where everybody lands

  They were better than anyone but SA, they need to improve from that aspect but still hands down the best team in the east. Need to get some younger legs imo and some impact players off the bench, obviously have to upgrade over Chalmers.

  You're right though interested to see how it all shakes out.
