we cleared $10 million or so worth of Etan and Pech money.

I like Songaila but it would be hard not to argue that outside shooting aside, we ultimatey got a good replacement for him in Singleton (whom I hope we re-sign).

Miller was actually pretty decent, and we probably would have kept him (or made a bigger effort, at least) under other circumstances. But we’ve opted for youth and he’s opted to go back to the state where he starred in College and do the laundry for the ultimate Big 3… It is sort of scary to realize that Miller and Haslem will be the first two men of the Heat bench…

Foye, a lovely guy, a definite NBA role player and we rolled the dice that he would be somewhat more… and he just did not have the goods.

I’m not defending the deal and certainly its outcomes were in the next to worst case range… but the rationale for making the deal was still not that terrible a business decision at the time.

And speaking of who playes the 3 in addition to Thornton and maybe a lttle bit of Trevor Booker… the Heat let Dorell Wright go to GSW for nice contract. Ryan Gomes is going to LAC. TOutlaw is going to work for the Roosky in NJ.

The Wiz seem to be waiting on summer league and maybe seeing if they can still sign JHoward at the end of the day, thought they do have the money to go after JChildress (along with many other teams).
