Heat interested in Skinner
Few power-rotation players appeal to the Heat in this weak free agent class (heck, even 39-year-old Dale Davis is making a comeback), but Miami has expressed interest in 6-9 power forward/center Brian Skinner. Free agent center Kwame Brown is making visits with teams, but Miami did not book one.

at least Pat did not hop on the Kwame express. Browns next stop a breif tour of the D-League followed by a stint in europe. Skinner a 6-9 center power foward seems a bit undersized.

the heat need some size, not another 6-9, 6-8 power forward type. if he gets signed he will be 3rd on the pf depth chart. and possably 3rd at center behind blount, and mourning if he comes back.

It takes work to get your team 14-68. This is how you do it. You trade Udonis Haslem for a point guard that has apent half his career injured, then you go out and get Brian Skinner. Brilliant. Riley may be worse than Isiah Thomas.

Heat Fan, do you really want Skinner? And what is your team gonna do at C? Is Chalmers gonna start at PG? Who'll back him up? C'mon, you got the local pulse there. Share.

If I were the Heat, I would trade Udonis Haslem, Stephane Lasme, Marcus Banks, and Joel Anthony to Milwaukee for Desmond Mason and Mo Williams. After this aquisition, resign Earl Barron and Chris Quinn. Sign Nenad Krstic.
C - Nenad Kristic, Mark Blount
PF - Michael Beasley, Earl Barron
SF - Shawn Marion, James Jones, Desmond Mason
SG - Dwayne Wade, Daequan Cook
PG - Mo Williams, Chris Quinn, Mario Chalmers
Now THATS a team.........

miami needs to send Riley to south beach with the rest of the AARP people there. and start trading for starters. keep wade, chalmers, and beasley. everyone else is tradeable for an upgrade because you definatily need a good center. preferably some one over 6' 9".
