Call me stupid, but that is a trade that I'd having to consider. I love Caron, that's my boy, but I do like the idea of having a more balanced line-up. I think Wade can be a star at the point, but I think he may be a better playing at the wing playing off the ball. A guy like Shaun Livingston would add to our versatility, as this kid is a 6'7 point guard with no flaws. Odom would be alowed to move back the the 3, with Grant being able to play the 4, and Mark Blount can be signed to handle the dirty work(note that Chad Ford on ESPN Insider said that Riley is already TAMPERING with Blount's agent).
With a deal like this, you could very well see a line-up similar to this:
PG- Shaun Livingston
SG- Dwyane Wade
SF- Lamar Odom
PF- Brian Grant
C- Mark Blount
I am not 100% sold on a deal like this though, because it could drop us back a bit. Livingston is coming fresh out of high school, and he's no sure thing to pull a Bron-Bron. :tongue:
Miami is looking to tweak its lineup and could offer this package: Caron Butler and the No. 19 pick for No. 3, Chris Jefferies and Paul Shirley. The Heat could conceivably draft Shaun Livingston or Devin Harris to play point guard and then pursue Boston free agent Mark Blount at center.
Butler, a third-year small forward, started slowly last season because of a knee injury. In the playoffs, he averaged 12.8 points and 8.5 rebounds.
The 19th pick might sound low, but Jamaal Magloire, Zach Randolph and Tayshaun Prince were picked 19 or below in recent years.
