I would rather have Magloire just for the extra inches and Joel Anthony is only 6'9'' but he is a good shot blocker.
Maybe the Heat think they have bagged Amare therefore not having the need for Haslem now? And the Heat's outside shooting isnt so great and Bonner/Mason could help in that area for them...

Please tell me you are not serious about this.
If Pop doesnt play Ratliff there would be no way in he plays Magloire. They're both just as old...
Big Cat can barely move nowadays..
There isn't a big man available that could help us with size(unless we could get somebody like Dalembert, which I don't expect) so the best option is probably to get a mobile big like Tyrus Thomas(preferably) or a guy like Haslem(only if he comes with Wright though)..
This strategy could work, but only if the Spurs change up the personnel a little..if our frontcourt is going to be a little undersized, the PG-SG-SF positions are gonna have to bring some pressure and athleticism against ball-handlers..this simply will not work with guys like Bogans and Finley in the lineup though..
Salmons-Thomas is still our best bet unless some other team is crazy enough to take RJ..
No really, I was just trying to say that I'm not very interested in Haslem.If Pop doesnt play Ratliff there would be no way in he plays Magloire. They're both just as old...
Good to see RC hard at work
Seriously though, can't think of a trade that makes sense between the Spurs and the Heat. The Heat aren't tanking so I doubt they'd just give the Spurs Haslem for no real reason. The Spurs could possibly offer to eat Cook's contract ($2.1M next season), but that's a small price to pay for Haslem.
Haslem and Cook for RMJ, Finley and Bonner works ... but why would the Heat do that?
Speaking of Thomas:
Bulls Rumors
The Bulls are still on a hunt to move Tyrus Thomas and Kirk Hinrich. Sources are telling me that they are talking with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Lakers to acquire expirings such as Brian Cardinal, Adam Morrison, and Sasha Vujacic.
Chicago would send Tyrus Thomas to Minnesota and Kirk Hinrich to the Lakers and grab Minnesota's 2nd round pick in 2010 and well as the Lakers 2nd round pick in 2010. Kirk Hinrich would be the starting PG on a contending Lakers team and Tyrus would be the 6th man in Minnesota coming off the bench in favor of Kevin Love.

Ugh.
Why would Miami trade with San Antonio? The Heat are anxious about getting Wade some help. Spurs don't have anyone that would make Wade feel like Miami's serious about getting to the next level.
Two players on the Heat who the Spurs really liked in the draft: Dorell Wright and Daequan Cook. In any trade between the two teams, they are likely throw-ins.

RC's son Chase plays for the Kansas Jayhawks so I don't think he was on a scouting trip
Haslem would be huge... I didn't know he was on the trading block... What's his contract like?
If the Heat are desperate to unload Michael Beasley to open up salary cap room this summer, I'd be for it. Expirings and a first rounder for Beasley would obviously be a no-brainer. Beasley's value has been falling ... I wonder how far it has actually fallen.
Why not? Haslem is better than the rest of the players in the deal combined.
It would be insane if the Heat would be willing to do that, IMO, but you never know. They do seem like they're desperate to get D-Wade another superstar to stop him from leaving. The extra cap space would definitely help that.
From your keyboard to god's ears...
Just double checked, and Boss is right :
Jr Buford is still on the Jayhawk squad and must be their Ian Mahinmi, because he didn't play tonight, and has logged about 25 minutes all year.
Nothing like the heat of the moment to leave Lindsey in charge. Ferry's forehead is covered in sweat, Kerr has deep bags under his eyes, Riley's hair is a mess, Paxson is rolling his 20-sided die, Kupcheck is doing his under-the-table wink*wink deals, but meanwhile . . .
I can picture the telephone conversation between Morey and Lindsey happening at this very moment.
DM : "Hey there Dennis, about that Tiago Splitter, how about I . . . "
DL : "Sold! Big Bucks! Big Bucks!"
DM : "Heh heh . . . yeah. So, about what I'm offer-"
DL : "BIG BUCKS BIG BUCKS! NO WHAMMIES NO WHAMMIES NO WHAMMIES!"
DM : "Deal! I'll fax the paperwork right now!"
*cue gameshow music of the loser's theme
Meh, he is but not by much IMO. Besides he doesn't solve any of our problems if he were at least 6'10'' I would be very excited about this, but we already have enough undersized bigs and if we trade Mason, Finley and Bonner we become a little weak on the "shooting" department.
Beasley, Cook and Wright for RMJ, Finley, Mahinmi, Splitter and a first
I was under the impression that Beasley isn't on the market. The owner has said repeatedly that they're not moving him and Miami-area radio has been all over that Beasley is part of the future.
Draw it up....Beasley, Cook and Wright for RMJ, Finley, Mahinmi, Splitter and a first
Sounds like he's on the market to me.Here's the latest from ESPN the Magazine's Ric Bucher: "Michael Beasley's collegiate career and NBA stats would suggest an up-and-coming star; combined with his rookie contract in these harsh economic times, all that should make him irresistible to any team looking to move an established, expensive star for a less-expensive future one. But the latest evidence that an overwhelming majority of the league's decision-makers see him as more flash than substance is reflected in a proposed three-way trade whose principle parts were 76ers F Andre Iguodala, Suns F Amare Stoudemire and the Heat's Beasley.
"While other pieces would've had to be included, the trade essentially would've sent Beasley to Philadelphia, Iguodala to Phoenix and Stoudemire to Miami. The deal broke down, sources say, because Philadelphia wasn't overwhelmed by the prospect of rebuilding around Beasley. This isn't an isolated case: the Heat appear to be the team most enamored with Stoudemire, but their trading chips are Beasley and Jermaine O'Neal, aka, a big, fat expiring contract. So far, no one has been willing to bite -- underscoring why the Heat tried so hard on draft night in 2008 to trade down and take the player they really wanted, O.J. Mayo."
But really, the only way I imagine him ending up on the Spurs is if a team like the Suns would rather have a combination of Hill/Blair/Splitter than Beasley. At that point, the Spurs would get involved as a third team. But that ain't happening ... if for no reason other than the "baggie" picture.
I know the Heat want to get under the cap, but there's apparently been a deal on the table that would send Wright's contract to Memphis that only needs the OK -- removing Wright's contract gets them under the cap and it was said to most likely happen at the deadline . . .
