    Not a good look for the Clips...they just agreed to terms with B.D., now if they sign Brand they'll be a serious contender in the already stellar West. They don't need Marion and the Heat aren't gonna trade Beasley. Keep E.B., pair him with B.D. and run em with Hulk Hogan at Center and young studs Eric Gordon and Al Thornton at the 2 and 3. Real exciting lineup with Tim Thomas and Cat comin' off the bench.

    Clips Have Baron Davis. They'll make the playoffs but not the championship. Better than nothing. Keep Brand or send him to the LAKERS! wo0t

    I hope the Heat make this happen. EB is a beast in the post, he would be a perfect fit for Miami along Wade and Beasley. I guess they would have to let Marion go, but if that what it takes so be it. The only concern is Brand durability coming out of an 8 game season...

    I love it that Clips fans are making fun of the Heat. The Clip has been the worst in the league for like 20 years.

    it'll make the heat a leaderless version of the Suns- and without chemistry.
    scores alot, plays no D, can be dominated arond the basket.
    Hey Heat, why not trade for Shaq?

    people- the heat do not need to trade anyone to get Brand. Understand? This is about a free agent signing with whomever they want. The clips get nothing if they lose Brand. comprende?
