Allen Iverson a later-rather-than-now issue for Heat

02 Jul 2009 23:16:55 PDT

Written by Ira Winderman
But it's not going to happen the first week of free-agent negotiations. It's not going to happen at the July 8 start of the free-agent signing period. And it's not going to happen until after the July 12 window opens for Dwyane Wade to be eligible to sign an extension.

After the fact: Heat draft fallout

26 Jun 2009 07:55:21 PDT

Written by Ira Winderman

No, Heat President Pat Riley did not come out and say that, and Quinn already has invoked his $1.1 million guarantee for next season. It's just that in discussing second-round pick Patrick B...

Opinion: Smooth All-Around Performance by Paul Lifts Hornets Over Heat

09 Nov 2008 03:30:55 PST

Written by David Friedman(noreply@blogger.com)
As for Miami, the Heat are obviously immensely better than they were last year. Wade has regained his explosiveness and he once again drives relentlessly to the basket. Miami's primary offensive option is Wade dribbling around until he decides to either shoot or pass; in one late game sequence, Wade was the last Heat player to cross midcourt on offense and the other four Heat players simply stood around like little kids waiting for permission to cross the street: they did not even consider the possibility of trying to run an offensive set or create an open shot by dribble penetration. Rookie point guard Mario Chalmers has played actively on defense and he is averaging more than five apg but Wade is clearly running the show.
