Whats The New Heat Starting Lineup ???

[SLY]

PG - Banks
SG - Wade
SF - Marion / Beasley
PF - Haslem
C - Zo (is he coming back ??)

You guys gotta trade Haslem for a good PG then you move Marion to the 4 spot with Beasley starting at SF then it would be perfect !!!

[catzhernandez]

How about a starting center? :hammerhead:

That's the biggest hole on this team. PG is a close second. But they need minutes at the C.

[MiamiHeat]

as of right now is

PG: Banks
SG: Wade
SF: Marion
PF: Beasley
C: Blount

[lil baller]

ino this is a young team but
pg. chalmers(give him min. he will be good on d 2)
sg. wade(enough said)
sf. marion(good d,hustle)
pf.beasley(i hope he turns out to the hype he is suppose to be)
c.anothny(i think he will be nice if you let him play)

[MrEncinas]

PG - Banks with Chalmers potentially taking his spot if he plays well during the season.

SG - Wade

SF - Marion, Unless he's traded.

PF - Beasley, The Heat have said they plan on playing Beasley at the 4 most of the time.

C - Haslem/Blount/FA, Our biggest question mark is here at the C spot. I think trying to trade for Brad Miller could be something the Heat look at, but if that doesn't happen I still see a trade for a C happening some how. I just can't see us going into next season with Blount (Zo won't be ready at the start of the season if at all) as our only center.

[JerrySteakhouse]

Marcus Banks is a solid PG, man is underrated watch him thrive.

[NBAItaliaaa08]

yep agreed

marcus banks will impress this year

[stewen12]

i really like Earl Barron. He will imopress this year he has just never been given a chance. I say the heats starting lineup at the end of the year will be
PG- Banks- tied for most improved with Barron
SG- Wade-MVP
SF-Beasley- Rookie
PF-Marion- Defensive player
C- Barron-most improved, tied with Banks

With Udonis Haslem winning 6th man of the year

Coach of the year- Eric Spolstra

Barron has to get re-signed first before he has a chance of being "Most Improved". He was given ample playing time last season and wasn't able to show much. If he was that good he would have showed some of that last year.

barron had his chances...

i doubt he'll even be back; in the games i saw him he wasnt able to impress or even look decent.

looks lost in the game, no game close to the basket and no defense...that wont get him anywhere with this team...

[lil baller]

actually i think quinn will be our starter(i think he could average 10 points a game with 9 assits a game, i really do think he can with mario averaging 7 points and 5 assits a game.)

[G-train]

Banks is talented but has a reputation for bad decision making. He'll be given a chance though.

[Lord Leoshes]

PG - Banks
SG - Wade
SF - Marion / Beasley
PF - Haslem
C - Zo (is he coming back ??)

Beasley is not a SF, he is a PF. He would get eaten up at SF.

Banks
Wade
Marion
Beasley
Haslem

[catzhernandez]

Haslem is 6'8. He has no business at center, never has/never will.

That's an awfully small team right there.

Banks - 6'2
Wade - 6'4
Marion - 6'7
Beasley - 6'8
Haslem - 6'8

:no:

I don't think the Heat are done yet, they're still gonna make some noise - well they would if they were smart. They're a good C, and another option at PG away from making their way back to the playoffs.

Until they make a move, this team is thin. The bench sucks, they have multiple holes in the lineup - Banks - Undersized, not a great number one option for your point on a good team... No center that's starter quality, Mourning isn't coming back until December or January is what they're saying now, and it might not even be for the Heat... and as good as Michael Beasley might be, he's still a rookie, and needs experience, a rookie's a rookie, unless we're talking a Shaq, Jordan, Duncan, LeBron kinda guy. Even Kobe and Garnett needed a few years to develop. And the bench is weak, I don't care what anyone says, that bench is weak.

This lineup could maybe get you 35 wins next year. I don't care how good you guys say Marion is, he has never been a winner, for years he was on a losing Phoenix team as a second fiddle to several great players, but it wasn't until he was paired with Nash, Amare and other great roleplayers around him that his team was a winner, the team was stacked, and it wasn't necessarily because of him that they were great. You know what that shows? He needs a great passing point guard, but he also needs a complete lineup to win. Wade isn't that great passing PG, and this team isn't stacked. Marion is expendable, and isn't winning this team games, he isn't your Scottie Pippen, and I'm pretty sure I've heard his name in a few rumors. This lineup has too many holes.

Your underrating Banks, he can do a lot more then you think. and undersized? Hes a 6'2 strong PG....

[JerrySteakhouse]

Miami's main concern is finding a good center, not a good PG.

They need a young promising guy that can play D and won't demand a ball. But it wont hurt if they are a threat.

If its like that then take out Beasley & put in Hasalm, cause we are going to need defense inside.

Chalmers
Cook
Jones
Beasley
Anthony

That is not a bad 2nd unit. Then you add Zo, & Wright in the mix, & you have a strong bench. If healthy this team should make the playoffs.

[beasted86]

Earl Barron?, Joel Anthony?, etc...These guys are not getting resigned or are going to be waived... They are not guys I am looking forward to seeing in the normal player rotation.

I'm not going to try and sort out a starting lineup because the heat still haven't resigned key pieces and they are trying to move Marion. But Banks or Chalmers are not the answer to the starting point guard. I'd like to see the heat make a move to sign Delonte West and withdraw the qualifying offer to Chris Quinn. If the Lamar Odom for Marion rumors are true... this would give us a legit size PF, and let Beasley drop to the SF, along with giving us money to sign Delonte or another player.

I mean no disrespect but do you even watch the Heat? Anthony will surpriz you. His defens, & rebounding are solid, & thats what we need, with Zo out till Dec.

West? 1st we dont have the money to sign him, & even if we did, he is a 2guard in a PGs body, & not all that much better then Banks, & Chalmers.
Why do you think that the Cavs had to go out an get Mo Will? If he could not start for them, why should he start for us?

Odom? Marion is a better player then odom, & if the point was for him to start at PF, & have Beasley at SF. Beasley is not, & never will be a SF. He is to slow, & will be eaten alive trying to guard sfs in this league.
can you imagin a lineup of Blount, Odom, & Beasley? We would give up over 60 point in the paint nightly. We would be the worst defensive team in the league.

Like i sead, i don't mean to disrespect you, but you need to rethink this a little.

[beasted86]

Im a Heat fan, and your nuts if you think Joel Anthony is solid, or even near to starting. He's undersized at 6'9 and provides no type of offensive threat. On the defensive end most teams will be playing 5 on 4 against the Heat with him in the game. Out of 20 minutes a game he averaged uner 4 rebounds and less than 4 points. The only good stat was 1.3 blocks/game.

If thats 20min/game is not enough chance get a good gauge of what he can do... I dont know what is. Also why pay Haslem 5 million dollars more than him to sit on the bench when he's prooven to average double doubles on a regular basis when healthy.

Marion is plain better like you've said, but he's a small player added to a small front court: Beasley 6'9" (PF?), Haslem 6'9" (probably starting center). Beasley can hit the three, and is quick enough off the dribble to play the SF. Another reason I like the idea of Odom is even at 6'10 he can help handle the ball as well as give them the same amount of rebounding Marion can, as well as help prevent Beasley from getting beat up down low trying to rebound as a PF, and getting injured quick like he did over the summer. Thats the only real reason I dont like Beasley as a starting PF, just yet.

Odom wouldn't be any type of answer for the long term. But the way I look at it is if they could afford to squeeze in signing West for the amount of salary difference (about 4 mil) for 2 years and still have the money free for 2010 to resign Wade it would be a better team. Basically giving up Marion for Odom & West, IMO, yes.

[MrEncinas]

Even if we trade Marion for Odom we are still well over the CAP and we've already used most of our MLE on James Jones. We have roughly $1 Mil left to sign a guy. Delonte is out of the question unless it's a sign and trade.

Yeah, and like I was saying before the salary difference between Marion and Odom would give the Heat 3.7 million dollars to work with. Paired with a million dollars could give them the ability to sign West a 2 year contract at 4.7 million.

Either way after thinking about it, I dont know if the Lakers can afford 3.6 more million dollars onto the cap. I dont know if the Lakers would be willing to pay that much money in luxury tax just to try and make a championship more attainable. They are likely going to see how Odom plays during the first half of the season and maybe trade him later, but probably not before season start.

[kmart]

What do u think about this trade it could help your starting line up
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/traderesult?players=2772~509~1017~703~831~2419~885 ~2184~510&teams=14~14~5~5~18~14~18~5~18&te=&cash=
it gets you guys Lee Marbury and Varejao.
Knicks get Marion Ben Wallace and Sczarbiak
Caavs get Haslem Richardson and Randolph

The heat get three expiring contacts a good C/PF in VareJao and David Lee who is very underrated and a PG with Marbury and all their contracts expire next year which means you'll have more money to spend next offseason if you do the trade than you will if you had Marion.

Cavs get a offensive low post scorer and could put them ahead of the celtics in the east. Richardson can still shoot the ball and they get a pretty good one with Haslem.

For the Knicks this trade is all about getting something good in return for the two troublemakers on the team they get two hustle players and two expiring contracts plus Marion gets reunited with Mike D'anttoni

Starting Lineup looks like this

Marbury/ Chalmers/Banks
Wade/Cook
Beasly/Jones
Lee/Anthony(Blount)
Varejao/Blount(Anthony)

Anthony will only be used of the bench, not as a starter. & the Heat coaching staff have all bin raving about his improvment so far. But we will see in training camp.
& the thing about Beasley is that though he can play some SF on offense, he can not defend SFs in the NBA. He will get abused by other SFs. & the only thing that Odom can do that Marion can't is handle the ball. But marion is 10 times the defender that Odom is, & rebounds the ball just as well. If all you care about is offense then that team would look good. Problem is that we would be the worst defensive team in the league & not win jack.
& West would just be another backup guard that makes 4 mill.

Pat Riley just won't do this trade.

Beasley is not a SF. & Marion is better then anything we are getting back. & then you want us to through in Haslem? We rather have Marion, & Haslem.
Miami says no way.:no:

The thing is when two teams trade when they're both over the CAP the salaries have to much for the trade to happen. Also you can't just add to your MLE. There is no way the Heat can get Delonte unless it's a sign and trade.

Well I just plugged it into the NBA trade machine, and your right. Its saying Marion makes 24k too much for the trade to go through. The salary cap wouldn't be whats preventing the trade. Its the protective bargaining agreement.

PG-Banks ( I think he is underrated)
SG-D-Wade

That would be are best defensive lineup. But i see Beasley starting by Dec.

PG - Banks/Quinn/Chalmers - any of these guys could start by the end of the season
SG - Wade/Cook
SF - Marion/Wright
PF - Beasley/Haslem
CT - Blount/Magloire/Zo

Then why did we spend money on Jones?
Banks/Chalmers/Quin
Wade/Cook/Diawara
Marion/JONES/Wright
Beasley/Haslem/Anthony
Magloire/Blount/Zo
The starting PF, & C position could be switched, or even have Haslem start at C, with Beasley at PF. But all that depends on matchups. + starting Blount, & Beasley together will give are team the worst defensive C,PF combo in the league.

[beasted86]

Defense doesn't always involve shot blocking.

In college Beasley was a beast on the offensive boards in college, as well as solid defensive rebounder. We can't exactly count him out for sure as a bad defender.

Blount on the other hand plays so far away from the basket that he will never be a good rebounder.

BTW, we spent money on Jones incase we trade Marion for a center or star PG. Jones is really good enough to play as a starter. I really think he's gonna be great on the Heat.

I saw him play 7 time in collage, & all 5 summerleague games. The guy can not defend a girl in a wheelchair. If you think he can defend then you need to watch him play more. Every one from (Ira, from Sunsentinel) to( Mike Wallace, from MiamiHearald), (to coach Spolstra) has sead that he is a horrible defender. & anyone who thinks he can defend is delusional, & has not seen him play enough to know any better. Ones the season starts, & you see him play a few times you will see exactlly what am talking about. The first time that you have to scream at the TV couse he was reaching in, or out of position, think of me, & what i've told you. You'll see.

Unless Zo comes back that would be my starting starting lineup. But I would hope Beasley and Chalmers play their way in. I like Haslem but imagine Beasley will take over at pf soon enough. Between Banks and Chalmers let them show us what they have at pg.

[idizzle]

PG-Livingston
SG-Wade
SF-Marion
PF-Haslem
C-Magloire

Until Michael Beasley shows he can take over the starting PF or a trade happens I still see Udonis Haslem as the starting PF.

PG-Livingston
SG-Wade

C-Magloire

Livingston won't be able to play for a few months if at all, and Without Beasley in that line-up the offense is going to get very stagnant. Just look back at how bad we were at times offensively last year. Beasley makes things a lot easier because it won't be just Wade out there on the floor that can create offense for himself. Marion's a great player, but he relies a lot on others to get his offense.

PG-Livingston
SG-Wade
SF-Marion
PF-Haslem
C-Magloire

I don't see Livingston ready till JAN/FEB. If that.

[Wadeaminute]

Starting Line Up as I see it:

Quinn/Banks/Chalmers/Livingston(at least until he's back and healthy)
Wade/Jones/Cook/
Marion/JONES/Wright
Haslem/Beasley/Anthony
Magloire/Blount/Anthony/Zo (at least until he's back and healthy)

PG: From what i've read, Quinn is the probablle starter. I feel he has the best grasp of the offense (everyone has said he's a smart dude and could possibly be a coach when his playing career is done) He's a low turnover guy who doesn't need to dominate the ball and he can shoot the ball. All things needed for a point guard who plays with D-wade. Marcus is next probablly becasue of his experience. Chalmers is next. and finally livingston.

SG: Wade ... need i say more? I see Jones backing him as well as the SF. He'll be the first guy to come off the bench along with beasly. Finally Cook.

SF: Marion, as I see it, will be the SF. He might play PF at times, but I see him playin SF. He likes the position better and will probablly play better there as well. This isn't too say that he wouln't play PF, at least if we go in a small line up. Then we have james and finally Dorrell.

PF: Haslem will be the starter. I'm sorry but their ain't no way Beasely is beating Haslem out. Haslem has the experinece and the defense necessary to compete everyday. This might change through the season, but for now. Haslem is the starter. Then, of course, it's Beasly. I think it's better that he come of the bench as this way he won't have as much pressure on him. He'll be able to go against the bench players on the other team (not always, but at times) and this will help him build his confidence and allow him to step up his game. After Beasly with have Anthony.

C: At Center we have Jamal Maglore. Why Jamal? because Haslem is starting that's why. Haslem is more of a face up shooter. as is blount. Maglore is more of a post up player. This is why I believe that they will be able to work together a bit better. We then have Blount coming off the bench. and finally Anthony. Then there' Zo. He's another wildcard who can change everything if he comes back healthy.
