Pat Riley had a meeting with LaMarcus Aldridge, how would we be able to afford him

 

[infamous114]

Lol we ain't getting Aldridge. Only way we could afford him is getting rid of everyone on the bench or a sign and trade involving Deng, McRoberts, probably Winslow and Rio or something. All it does is show Riley's way to get a meeting even when it doesn't seem likely we can.

Tyler johnson and Josh Richardson should be on this team.

Zoran? Ehhh I'm not sure

Looks like Dragic's deal is 5 years, 85 mill, not 90. Nice.

Heat guard Tyler Johnson has broken jaw

MIAMI -- Heat guard Tyler Johnson has a broken jaw and is expected to be sidelined for at least six weeks.

Johnson was injured in Miami's summer-league game at Orlando on Wednesday. He lost a tooth in a midcourt collision while running into a screen. Further evaluation revealed the jaw fracture.

His agent Pedro Power says surgery was scheduled for Thursday.

Johnson played in 32 games as an undrafted rookie for the Heat last season, averaging 5.9 points -- highlighted by 26- and 24-point outings in a six-day span in early March.

He has an $845,000 contract for this season, with half of that scheduled to become guaranteed on Aug. 1.

Damn.. I feel bad White Lightening that man was playing great during the summer league...

Gerald Green agrees to deal with Heat, reunites with Goran Dragic

Shooting guard Gerald Green has agreed a one-year deal to join the Heat, according to multiple reports, reuniting him in Miami with newly re-signed point guard Goran Dragic.

Green will sign for $1.4 million, according to the reports. The deal is not expected to be signed before Friday.

Green spent the past two seasons in Phoenix and played with Dragic, who was acquired by the Heat in February as part of a three-team trade.

Dragic finalized his five-year deal with the Heat on Thursday and said Miami has high expectations next season with his return alongside Dwyane Wade and Luol Deng as well as a healthy Chris Bosh.

"The vision is clear: Try to battle for the top spot in the NBA," Dragic told reporters at a news conference. "With this team, I think it's going to be unbelievable. I think a lot of opponents are going to be scared of us. Every player on this team is smart, and every player is really locked into one goal, and that's to win a championship."

Heat president Pat Riley also said he expects to contend in the Eastern Conference next season.

"With a complete roster, we can contend in the East, and I mean contend high. We're gonna go for it," he told reporters. "You have to have high expectations. We have moved on from what happened last year."

Green has averaged 10.2 points in 428 regular-season games with the Suns, Boston, Minnesota, Houston, New Jersey and Indiana, mostly coming off the bench.

He has made 341 shots from 3-point range over the past two seasons, the ninth most in the NBA during that span.
