Miami Heat shoulda' never traded Eddie Jones...

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

PG Gary Payton…Gerald Fitch/Qyntel Woods
SG Dwyane Wade…Rasual Butler/Shandon Anderson
SF Eddie Jones…Jason Kapono/Dorrel Wright
PF Alonzo Mourning…Udonis Haslem/Wayne Simien
C Shaquille O’Neal…Michael Doleac/Earl Barron

Coach: Pat Riley



...Easily contenders. I dunno why they felt the need to trade for Williams and Walker...Maybe had they known Payton would later sign, the move for Williams would never have been made and the Heat would've had an amazing squad...Too bad for Miami, they chose to rebuild an excellent team instead of just adding to it.

I don't think Zo could hold up all season as a starter.

The man is extremely tough and well built, I think he can...And even if he doesn't, Haslem is really their primary starter. I just thought Mourning in the starting line-up would make them tougher and more intimidating. He started all the games at center until Shaq came back, and fared pretty damn well...I presume Haslem would start anyways, but the starting 5 I listed is legendary. Basically an all-star squad.

I'm pretty certain Zo's kidney would explode. The heat def. could have went without the trade with the grizz though. The walker trade wasn't so bad.

The Heat have the best roster in the NBA regardless, their only problem is that they don't have the best team.

I agree Eddie Jones is a baller, since the laker days!  They should of kept Eddie man.......now hes stuck with the grizzlies!  Hes the o.g. laker!!!

Shaq ran him out of town just like he did here in LA

Blame Shaq. It looks like he hates Eddie. First he forced West to trade him, when they were in Los Angeles and now they traded Eddie from Shaq's team again. I've always hated Shaq for that: Eddie was my fav Laker back in the days and i still love him.

I've always hated Shaq for that: Eddie was my fav Laker back in the days and i still love him.

  And Nick The Quik ..I love the O.G Lakers....Seddele Three and C.Cebballos and Elden Cambelle    Goofy ass nigga Those Laker teams before Shaq & Kobe got to L.A were tight   ..

Anyways..

I remember Shaq Saying that he's "tired of guys ( Eddie Jones) Taking 1 leged fade away Jumpers,Eddie Jones use to that shit all the time.

BTW,Don't You mean "Shaq<--- shoulda' never traded Eddie Jones"?

I'm pretty certain Zo's kidney would explode. The heat def. could have went without the trade with the grizz though. The walker trade wasn't so bad.

That trade was combined...Heat lost Eddie Jones, Rasual Butler, Albert Miralles, Qyntel Woods, and two second-round draft picks in the trade. In exchange they got Antoine Walker, James Posey, Jason Williams, Andre Emmett and the draft rights to Roberto Duenas...I believe that if the trade would have not went down and they would have simply signed Payton (and maybe even re-signed Damon Jones), they woulda' had an amazing team...Especially that legendary starting 5 I posted.

[acbaylove]

I've never liked that trade, man. Never.

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

Yup...All it did was fuck up their chances of winning a title. Simply signing Payton woulda' been the missing link. Unfortunately for them, they went on and rebuilt the team. A team that lost in the final minutes of a game 7 eastern conference finals...

Laker fans should know all about legendary teams.
