Ricky Davis is Heading to the Heat

I like that move the Heat made. This looks like their healthy stating line-up soon. I think the Heat didn't need Antoine anymore. Weren't they trying to trade him anyway? They were trying to get Artest.
PG Jason Williams
SG Dwayne Wade
SF Ricky Davis
PF Udonis Haslem
C Shaquille O'Neal

yeah, that starting lineup looks pretty solid...and they have Smush Parker/Dorell Wright coming off the bench.

We like the trade for the Timberwolves. Clearly, before the deal, they were going to be bad. No, after the deal, they're still bad, but in a much better position to develop.

The move finally helps Rashad McCants get on the court. He's the major benefactor of the deal. Foye, McCants, and Brewer will start in the back court, and Green and Gomes will be able to get much needed playing time as first reserves. Big Al benefits too.

AMark Blount, who was completely worthless on this roster, is gone. Jefferson will be surrounded by the best mix of veteran big men: a top defender (Ratliff), a jump shooter (Doleac), a high post dude (Howard), and uh, 'Toine. He's in a great situation.

Business wise, they get two expiring contracts (Doleac and Simien), they'll buy out Walker's contract after the season, and they'll actually receive a 1st round draft pick!

The Wolves get younger, cheaper, and are now in great position moving forward. Next year, they'll have huge cap space, enough to trade for anybody or buy anyone they want.

I don't know how this affects the Heat, who cares.

"I don't know how this affects the Heat, who cares."

LOL.

PS: Can you explain how Minny gets a first-round draft pick out of this trade?

the heat gave up their 2008 first round pick in the deal

Cool, thanks!

Sounds like a good deal for the Tims.

it was a good deal for the Heat. Walker is all washed up, Davis may have 1 or 2 more good years.

that was a pretty good move, ricky davis is a good player.

Ricky Davis is a great player but its all about RICKY on and off the court. Miami got the better end by far with Ricky alone but only if he doesn't bring and that "me first" attitude.

"but its all about RICKY", i forgot about all that. I dont think Shaq would put up with that. He dealt with that once upon a time in LA.
