Especially when you consider that an injury to D. Wade or Chris Bosch leaves America's Team anchored by LeBron James, a player who when last on the court with all the chips on the table on the biggest stage, looked like Tarzan/played like Jane.
Now comes word that the idiot bastard running the Timberwolves gives the Heat even more comfort and relief by taking the psychotic bust, Michael Beasley and his $5 million salary cap hit, off the Heat's books. The Heat now will make moves to add role players at will. Pat Riley must have blackmail pictures of the T-Wolves' GM under a dog in order for Minnesota to make this trade.

Really? If the draft pick isnt protected, I agree but something tells me that it will be. If all they are giving up is a 2nd round pick next year and a lottery protected swap of future number 1's in the year 2200, how is this a bad deal for minnesota? They get a one year trial on a guy that was the second overall pick two years ago and is still in his rookie contract. If he blows up, great, you have a star that you can re-sign next year. If not, what did you really lose?
If anything, minnesota got a gift.
