Big Three in Miami? Beasley Being Rejected. Greg Oden?

Who is watching the NBA Finals? Not me, you know why? The most exciting part of this NBA season has clearly been where LeBron James, Chris Bosh, and Dwyane Wade will land come July 1st. Well, according to an NBA source close to the discussions, the duo of James and Bosh are strongly considering joining forces with our MV3 here in Miami come July. 

Yes, all this is plainly speculation. But one can dream right? Think about it, I'm not a fan of the Wade/LeBron duo, but, a Wade/Bosh/LeBron trio is simply amazing. If, lets say, the trio signs with Miami, the HEAT will clearly be the favorite tittle contenders and we would see all these "Die-Heart" HEAT fans pop up like groundhogs on groundhog day. So let's get one thing clear, If you are going to be a HEAT just because they win, you aren't a true fan. You, to me at least, will be a groundhog.

Back when Miami was only 15-67 I said something that I've kept in my mind ever since, "Good things happen to those who wait" and if the trio was to sign with Miami, this would be the good thing. The basketball gods would have given us Miami Heat fans mercy after 3 disappointing years.

If I was a betting man, I wouldn't put all my money in this rumor, but it's sure as hell exciting to hear about it. But, remember one thing. Last year we had a huge rumor going around that Lamar Odom was going to sign with Miami, and what did that lead to? Disappointment, so don't hold your breath on this Wade/Bosh/Lebron trio. 

Something else that was making headlines this weekend was Miami offering forward Michael Beasley to the New Jersey Nets for guard Keyon Dooling. I had a kick out of it when I saw that New Jersey rejected this trade. Which begs the question, Has Michael Beasley completely lost all his trade value? I mean c'mon, when the Nets are rejecting you, you must feel like crap. Okay, I understand the entire salary cap deal that the Nets have, but really New Jersey? I mean if you reject a trade for a player that can possibly be your superstar that makes it seem like you just don't want to win. Like I've said many times; Beasley will be a great player in this league, but not in Miami. I honestly thought New Jersey was a great fit for him but I guess Nets brass thought otherwise.

One more thing was making headlines this past week… Miami might go after Greg Oden? Ira Winderman was replying to one of his questions on his blog and he had this to say "I do think there is an outside chance the Heat makes a run at Greg Oden, or at least sees what the asking price would be," writes Winderman. Okay, I see us maybe getting Oden if we we get Bosh, Amare, or Boozer. I can easley see the scenario of acquiring him and putting him on the bench, but knowing Portland, they might have a high asking price… Who knows? I don’t see why not at least try. Oden has had a few bad seasons and maybe he’s eager to show everyone that he deserves to be in this league and will play better after he leaves Portland. So, I don’t see why not.

In all, these rumors if nothing else, entertain the average NBA fan. I think they are kind of weird to tell you the truth. A team with Wade, Bosh, and LeBron sounds way too good to be true. Beasley being rejected by the Nets was funny, and Oden to Miami might be a valid trade if we get a good team.
