Nah, Miami and Chicago (and their fans) had to struggle through "rebuilding years" last year and are looking to contend this year.
I think this trade keeps both teams in "rebuilding" mode. Miami would be another lottery team next year, and then would half to deal with a majority of their players going to free agency.
Miami wants to be back in contention this year - might be tough to do if Marion isn't committed, but I think you could get some pieces for him from another team thats looking for cap space.
i can see where u r coming from...but i think the heat got a little too much in return (tyrus thomas to play pf, channing frye as a back up center etc...) and since the blazers just got bayless from the draft (trade) i don't see the blazers needing to do that
interesting but I don't think the Blazer would want to take on a big contract, and they already have Bayless so this trade wouldn't work out for Portland.
