Miami Heat Team History

[Myro James]

^{OFFICIAL: Miami Heat signs Andrea Bargnani to a three-year contract.}



Andrea Bargnani's Agent: "Andrea Bargnani has decided to join the Miami Heat. We feel that his shooting off the bench will compliment the team nicely. Bargnani was originally looking for a starting position, but once every single offer fell through, we decided to turn to the GMs who were committed to Bargs and offering length in contract. We think that the Miami Heat is a perfect destination for Bargnani, and we are impressed by Myro's commitment to bringing in Bargs."

Terms of the deal:

Year 1: $3,500,000
Year 2: $3,500,000
Year 3: $3,000,000

^{OFFICIAL: Miami Heat trade Lebron James to the Washington Wizards for John Wall, Trevor Ariza, Martell Webster and draft picks.}

"I hate to see LeBron go. It was a tough decision for me and the organization as we value him so much but we understand that we cannot control everything and we have to make a move to keep this team in a good position. We are happy to welcome John Wall here in South Beach and we feel that he can help us contend without Lebron and eventually be the future of this team. We are excited to see him grow and be a more complete player as a member of the Miami Heat," Myro James, General Manager of the Heat said in an interview.

^{OFFICIAL: Miami Heat acquires Danilo Gallinari from the Denver Nuggets.}



Myro James: LeBron is LeBron. He is a special guy and no one in this generation can replicate what he did and what he does in the floor while wearing a Heat Jersey. He is that special but we are proud to say that today we have made a trade with the Denver Nuggets and received Danilo Gallinari in the process and will be the starting forward of this team. He may not be LeBron but his versatility as a player and shooting skills will surely make our team better.

^{Miami Heat acquires Chase Budinger from Sacramento.}



Myro James: Welcome Chase! I think that many GMs do not see his value but we see him as a good role player and a glue guy who will be important for our team's success. He is still young and we feel he can improve with our organization. His shooting will help us space the floor and his athleticism will surely bring a good energy of the bench.

Absolutely love the Lebron trade you pulled off! Didn't think anyone would fork over a young stud for him, other than Jeremiah.

This statement of mine is ridiculous since Lebron is the best player in the league, but who knows where he's going if he opts out.

Yeah. I hate to see him play for another team but getting John Wall who is locked in for a very long contract is not bad, IMO. That's way better thatn letting LeBron walk away for nothing in the offseason.
