Heat looking to trade for a guard with Wade limited

[Inferno]

With Dwyane Wade missing numerous games as he manages knee issues, the Miami Heat have recently started trade talks looking for backcourt help, multiple league sources told ESPN.

The Heat (14-5) have a glut of big men and have been looking into trading one for a guard, or to clear a roster spot so they can sign a player later. Center-forward Joel Anthony, who has played in just five games this season, is one of the players who may be available.

Wade is still recovering from offseason procedures on his knees and is not currently playing in back-to-back games. Last month, after Wade did play in a back-to-back, knee soreness caused him to miss the next two games. Wade also missed Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons with knee soreness.

The Heat have six back-to-backs scheduled over the next six weeks.

The Heat, 2-3 without Wade this season, were 11-2 when he didn't play last season and 14-3 in 2011-12. Spoelstra has also tried James Jones and Roger Mason Jr. as starters when Wade has been out.

"Wade Limited", is that his new name?:lol

[CelticBaller]

No one should deal with that team, and if they do, sent a mole

[hawkfan]

The Heat should have amnestied Anthony instead of Mike Miller.
Oops.

[HomieWeMajor]

Knowing their luck they'll probably bring in Arenas and turn him into Washington Hibachi with better efficiency.

[Levity]

couldnt the heat just sign someone like andrew goudelock since he'd probably look good if surrounded by lebron and company.

[BlackVVaves]

Heard this much earlier today. My thing is, what assets do they have? Their draft picks are of extremely low value with them favorites to win it all again, and at the very least go deep in the playoffs the next couple seasons (unless Bron somehow leaves).

Supposedly they are dangling Joel Anthony around....who the **** would trade a productive guard for Joel freaking Anthony?

[TheMarkMadsen]

Oh ffs they already have Ray Allen& Beasley who are both capable of putting up 12-20 effecient points per game

[BlazerRed]

LOL Joel Anthony.. who the hell do they expect to get for him?

[CelticBaller]

LOL Joel Anthony.. who the hell do they expect to get for him?
Seriously :lol

Word is they are eyeing Shannon Brown and Stephen Jackson, but they'd still need to create a roster space by moving/waiving a piece.

[BlazerRed]

I don't know if you could even get Perkins for Joel Anthony..

[b1imtf]

LOL Joel Anthony.. who the hell do they expect to get for him?
Paul George and Hibbert

[Jameerthefear]

i'd take anthony over perkins. that contract..

[scm5]

I would just run Chalmers and Cole together. They're both deserving of minutes and it's just for the regular season hopefully. Wade should be good to go by playoffs and with the East the way it's been this season... the Heat should have zero problems making the playoffs.

Who cares about another SG when you got teams outrebound the shit outta you

Who needs rebounds when you can shoot efficiently from the floor?

Efficiency!!! :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[Real Men Wear Green]

If their bigs had any value they could just slide James over to the two, play Beasley at three and Bosh at PF.

[Pacquiao]

Who cares about another SG when you got a star who hesitates to shoot trying to protect his FG% when his team is down by more than 10.

[TheReal Kendall]

Word is they are eyeing Shannon Brown and Stephen Jackson, but they'd still need to create a roster space by moving/waiving a piece.

Both would work out well.


That would be messed up if they were to sign Arenas and he just wreck teams like back in the day

[#number6ix#]

I like the Shannon Brown idea... How's his defense

[Human Error]

The Heat should have amnestied Anthony instead of Mike Miller.
Oops.
Should've amnistied either Haslem or Anthony.

Efficiency!!! :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

But yeah they should go after Shannon brown or agent zero, nobody is trading for fkn Joel Anthony :roll: :facepalm

[coin24]

Maybe Lebron should be near the basket to rebound instead of leaking out for open layups/efficiency stat padding basket opportunities:oldlol:

Poor hard done by heat, they need a top 10 player at every position :lol it's not fair!!

Seriously, especially after the bulls game they figured guard play was the main issue..

[HylianNightmare]

what's wrong with allen and mason?

[FireDavidKahn]

LOL Joel Anthony.. who the hell do they expect to get for him?
You can have Barea.

[bdreason]

Trade who?

[2swift4u]

they should have gotten rid of Anthony a long time ago. Also Haslem is pretty much useless at the moment. He can't make a shot, get a rebound or defend. But they seem to keep him because of loyality. The problem is Miami tries to outscore opponents rather than playing better defense and protect the paint/glass. That's why they are looking for another guard. I think it would be easier to get some size rather than depending on your perimeter shooting so much.

[It's A VC3!!!]

Would they really trade Wade because of this? Wade is like the poster child of the entire Heat's franchise. If you trade him you can disqualify them from winning the championship.

Your predictions are usually spot on!

[hawkfan]

hawkfan Trade Scenario (where forever happens amazingly):

Hawks get

Joel Anthony (expirer)

Heat get

Jared Cunningham (expirer)

The Hawks get another big who can provide size against the Pacers in the playoffs.

The Heat get Cunningham, who is a guard.

Nets got that shit on lock anyway, so unfair..

[Haymaker]

Beasly is redundant. He could fetch them a solid SG.

actually you need to be more efficient if you are bad at rebounding but i know that you don't know shit about basketball.

[Shade8780]

Courtney Lee for Joel Anthony and a 2015 draft pick.

[ispin69]

Joel Anthony for Carmelo Anthony

Get It Done, Riley :lol


Seriously, Lebron can play 2-4. Even Beasley could play 3-4. They been shopping Joel. They got tons of guys like Allen, Roger Mason Jr and Beasley, even Jones and Rashard Lewis. They're running out of roster spots. They might want to trade Jones/Lewis and Anthony for a nicer piece.

Am I mistaken or the Heat won back to back championships?

Doranku you never cease to amaze me with your nonsense trolling :lol :lol
