Rumor: Heat and Grizzlies Working a Deal?
The Heat are getting desperate as they have been stuck in the basement of the Eastern Conference all season long. With Dwyane Wade playing out of his mind and logging out of control minutes, it’s time for Pat Riley to make some changes to alleviate the pressure from D-Wade. We all know Shaq isn’t doing a damn thing and is coming close to setting an NBA record for consecutive game disqualifications with 5, the record being 7. Pat Riley has to pull the trigger and has been talking with the Grizzlies about a deal that would send either Jason Williams or Ricky Davis to Memphis. Here’s the details…
The Houston Chronicle reported that the Rockets would have some interest in trading for Heat guard Jason Williams, who has been inconsistent this season but has an attractive expiring contract. Another was mentioned in The (New York) Daily News, which claimed the Heat and Grizzlies are discussing a deal that would bring Mike Miller to Miami and send either Williams or Ricky Davis to Memphis.
The Heat has a number of needs, which include point-guard depth, a long-range shooter and help in the post. Riley recently said he anticipated there would be plenty of misinformation affiliated with the Heat’s interest.
”The real stuff, if anything happens, most people don’t know about it,” Riley said.
I’ve been reading and hearing from other sources that any Memphis deal would also include Stromile Swift. Regardless, the Heat need help from all around. Hopefully Riley can put together some crafty moves not including Udonis Haslem and Daequan Cook.
