Rashard Lewis would be a great pickup for the Heat. He's a knock down 3pt shooter and has clutch playoff experience. Just ask Lebron.

[NOHCP3]

Pat Riley's Plan Z of the offseason.

Heat should take a flier though if James Jones doesn't return. Am I right on that? James Jones part I meant

[DuMa]

i dont see it happening. he only wants to spend all that cash on south beach

[Kurosawa0]

If Miami signs Lewis, a lot has gone wrong for them this off season.

[RRR3]

I don't see him helping that much. T-Mac and Camby to the Heat:pimp:

Not at all. Rashard is a 6'10 sniper. Would give Miami a tall spacer/shooter.

[PJR]

People thinking Rashard Lewis can't help a team are sorely off the mark.

[NOHCP3]

I don't see him helping that much. T-Mac and Camby to the Heat:pimp:

Yes to Camby... Nooooo to Tmac :lol

[RRR3]

Yes to Camby... Nooooo to Tmac :lol
T-Mac needs a ring :(

[Clippersfan86]

Going for 3 rings in a row if they sign Lewis!

[NOHCP3]

Not at all. Rashard is a 6'10 sniper. Would give Miami a tall spacer/shooter.

If he can return to form I guess. Last couple of years he's been far from a sniper. Shot like 24% from three last year I think.

When a team like Washington won't even play you, you're done. Miami either needs to get good character vets or young prospects. Lewis is neither.

I second the notion of TMac going to the Heat. The Heat will be bounced out of the playoffs in the first round.

Would like to see that too. Plan C after Allen and Terry? Cheaper. Could hit the cabbage patch during the championship celebration like Juwan :lol

:cheers: Then he can retire and rest his back and his knees. Shame how much of a shell of himself he is these days:cry:

[Kurosawa0]

Camby would be good for them, but not on a 3 year deal. T-Mac is done. He just doesn't have the skill set to be a role player.

T-Mac did okay for the hawks in limited duty. Besides he can take Juwan's role if nothing else.

[IGotACoolStory]

TMac to the Heat would be amazing. The Heat will go in as the biggest favorites to win a championship since when? The Shaq-Kobe Lakers probably. However, McGrady's teams don't advance past the first round.

Kind of a immovable object meets the unstoppable force situation.

If all he's going to do is eat up a roster spot, it doesn't matter. If they're planning on playing him? I don't like that.

hmph a lot of T-mac haters on ISH. :mad:

I saw him his last last year in Houston. Most depressing thing ever. I thought he was done then. I know he's been serviceable but damn.

[Kurosawa0]

hmph a lot of T-mac haters on ISH. :mad:

I don't hate him. I just think McGrady is done. If Miami is playing him meaningful minutes in a playoff series, as I said, a lot has gone wrong for them.

[NOHCP3]

Camby would be good for them, but not on a 3 year deal. T-Mac is done. He just doesn't have the skill set to be a role player.

Agree on both parts. When Camby got shipped to the Rockets he said he wanted to play past 40 :no: 2 yr for the vet min should do it

[StateOfMind12]

McGrady has been trying to get on the Heat since the Big 3 was formed. Heat aren't interested because they don't want someone that is going to be injured after every other game nor do they want to deal with his horrendous attitude.

I hope Lewis doesn't go to Miami but I don't know where a realistic location for him would be though.

1st round exit with T-Mac :lol

Do people not remember this?

Bad news...

[TMT]

They will pickup any fools who will sign with them for the minimum, so why the hell not.

[PJR]

Clearly that was just a stupid ass made up rumor. Just as the Delonte West nonsense was.

we are pretty far removed from his sniper days. dude is washed up

He's no NBA talent the moment he stopped taking PEDs.

[PJR]

You don't think he can hit wide open threes at a 38-40 % clip with James, Wade, Bosh, drawing defensive attention? I beg to differ

[Kurosawa0]

Not for the min.

What do they have? 3 rosters spots? I'd have to think they could get 3 guys better than Lewis to sign.

They'll get someone for the mini mid level, probably take a flier on Oden (I'm surprised we haven't heard more on him) and then maybe a guy like Lewis I guess.

Makes you wonder what guys like Grant Hill, Barbosa and Jamison will get.

Got to think they get either Allen, Camby or Terry..Howard, Turiaf are both spots which are open. Lewis won't be a terrible signing for spot mins every now and then.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Good player to play small ball with.

[pauk]

Rashard Lewis would be a great pickup for the Heat. He's a knock down 3pt shooter and has clutch playoff experience. Just ask Lebron.

Still hurts, 09 ECF... dude hit like 3 gamewinners or something like that

Precisely!

I wouldn't be any worse than the flier they took with Eddy Curry. I just really think Lewis is done though. His numbers over the last 3 years have been atrocious. He probably wouldn't warrant playing time over Terrel Harris.

Any good shooter will get alot of good looks on this Miami team. He could have a good year in Miami for when he plays of course. At this moment though you know Lewis is not important to get just yet from Miami's point of view..

I wouldn't be surprised to see Riley sign some undrafted guy first. The Heat always look for those types.

[HylianNightmare]

lol

[nbaballllller]

i like this for miami

if riley can talk to rashard and figure out what drives him (and if that is winning), then he will be a great fit on this team.

[tmacattack33]

Any semi decent big man (and what we define as big man is constantly getting a lot smaller in the nba these days) would be a help for Miami.

[RaininTwos]

T-Mac needs a ring :(
T-mac would be a great addition imo. Dude played exceptionally well in spurts for the Hawks last year.

[3zazer1]

I'd rather pursue Ray Allen harder than settle for Lewis, but if all else fails, he isn't that bad of a fit. He'll definitely make an impact as he'll stretch the floor for Bron and Wade to drive.

[raprap]

he could replace James Jones spot.

[jaydacris]

despite that ridiculous contract he had. he's a versatile player, and still one of the better 3 point shooters in the league. and can be a good mismatch for the opposing team (although also can work against him)

and from what i hear he's a good locker room presence and very professional
although thats just from one source haha (jj reddick)

he jus gotta stay off of them performance enhancing drugs ;)

[blacknapalm]

goes from being a big reason cleveland is knocked out by orlando in the playoffs to joining up with lebron and co. honestly, rivalries are garbage these days. there are none

[Kingwillball]

Camby,Allen, Terry should be the main 3 vets the Heat should be after this offseason. If they can get one of the 3 it should be a success.

[BallsOut]

Jamal Crawford, Kwame Brown, and Rashard Lewis should be the 3 main free agents that Miami Heat should go after this offseason. If they can get one or two of the 3 it should be a success.

[Meticode]

Rashard Lewis would be a great pickup for the Heat. He's a knock down 3pt shooter and has clutch playoff experience. Just ask Lebron.
I disagree. Just give the minutes to James Jones. Lewis would have the same type of role Jones would have, but maybe some more minutes because of his name on the roster.

At this point in his career he's not the shooter he once was. The last 4 years his 3 point percentage has went down which was down to 24% last year.

Orlando was stupid to sign him for that amount of money. If you look at his statistics since he started with Orlando his minutes dropped each year, field goal percentage, points, rebounds, everything. He's just a wasted roster space right now. He couldn't stick out with the knuckle head Wizards last year.

[ClutchOver9000]

Am I the only person not interested in playing for Miami?

preach.

[ihoopallday]

There's a new player interested in Miami every other day. It's starting to get annoying.

[UtahJazzFan88]

Sign him so he can play 30 games? :confusedshrug: I'm not even sure he'd do anything Battier couldn't.

[Lebron23]

Jones is planning to retire. Lewis will be a perfect replacement.

[morbius]

The guy really achieved everything in his basketball career. He was one of the most payed players in the league, all he now needs is a ring to make it complete. :roll:
