This is a really good move for Miami. If Finely goes to Miami, they have the best 1 through 5 in the league. Wade, Walker, Finely and Shaq is better than Parker, Ginobli and Duncan. Phoenix would be screwed if Finely doesnt sign with them. The lost Q, Joe Johnson and their backup might fail too.

http://www.azcentral.com/sports/suns/articles/0811suns0811.html
"Despite all of its recent acquisitions, Miami still has its $5 million midlevel exception available to offer a free agent - and Finley has the same agent (Henry Thomas) as Dwyane Wade. Even though the amnesty rule mandates that Finley will get all of the $51.8 million owed him from Dallas, he may be motivated to take a Miami exception offer because about $30 million of his money is deferred if he is waived. Miami does not have a good friend (Steve Nash), a starting job or the familiarity of a former team such as Phoenix but the chance at a title is apparent."

I really wonder what Phoenix does if Finely is gone? They had 2 very good SGs in Joe and Q. They both are now gone. Their backup was Finley who might go to Mimai. Its not a catastrophe but its sad that they dug that hole themselves.

that is a scary team but other than shaq, no one plays Defense.

Haslam starts, walker off the bench.

But I don't see Fin on that team, too many players needing too many touches.

I honestly do not think Haslem is gonna start and a 20 and 10 guy will be on the bench. I don't think it makes sense.

I don't think Finley needs many touches either.

Its Wade, Shaq, Toine as the 3rd option and then J will and Posey get their points whenever they can.

Then no one plays defense because I can't remember the last time I seen Shaq really play some defense. I think Haslam plays decent D and Posey is a good defender too.
I don't like to play bad rookies , I like to play good rookies - Mike D'Antoni

With all these egos, Riley will be coaching that team by mid-January.

Good point! If Riley is coaching, I can see the Heat winning next year.

With Riley coaching, I can see them getting bounced due to injury and burnout!

But oh to see a Rockets-heat final! The master vs. apprentice!

But this time for all the marbles.

JVG owned riles in the playoffs!
