UD turned down more lucrative deals with Denver and Dallas to stay home in Miami, so the man should be applauded. Unlike LeBron James, UD is actually FROM the city he plays for, not miles and miles away.
This time last week the Heat only had 2 players on their roster (Chalmers and Beasley), now they're up to 7 as the 7'3" Lithuanian (and former LeBron teammate) agrees to join the show. Finally Miami adds big body to the mix, and they'll probably need 1 or 2 more. I'm not shocked they picked him over Shaq considering the way Shaq bashed the club after he was traded in 2008.
No word on if Dan Gilbert as completed his angry open letter to Zydrunas.
The Jazz get Al Jefferson, the Wolves get 2 future first round picks. Great, now we can get reports about Jefferson's 2011 season-ending inury out of Utah instead of Minnesota.
This comes after backing out of the 3-team deal that would've sent Chandler to the Raptors Monday. Good for the Bobcats...though I still wish they would've swung a shocker and sent him to the Wolves to continue building the Minnesota Unachievers.
Good for Q. He revitalized in Miami last season, and now he's moving on. I guess shooting wide open 3's isn't his thing.
6) Kobe To Meet With Raja Bell About Joining Lakers
Well this is fine as long as Kobe knows the Heat could have him if they want him. Seems like the Heat and Lakers are in an arms race, right??
7) Nets Acquire Anthony Morrow In A Sign-and-Trade
The Nets will continue to suck well into the 2011 season, but they now have their hands on one of the hottest up and coming shooters the league has to offer. I would've loved to have him in Miami.
The deal is for three-years and worth $12 million.
