Miami Heat
|
After a disappointing 2006-07 season, the Heat look to move forward. Miami retains the 20th and 39th pick in the 2007 NBA Draft (as a result of sending former coach Stan Van Gundy to Orlando Magic). On June 28, 2007, the Miami Heat selected Colorado State forward Jason Smith with the 20th overall selection then traded him to the Philadelphia 76ers for the draft rights to 21st overall selection, guard Daequan Cook from Ohio State and cash considerations. With the 39th overall selection, the Miami Heat drafted Stanko Barac, a center from Bosnia, but later traded his rights to the Indiana Pacers for a future second round pick. The Heat lost Jason Kapono to the Toronto Raptors and James Posey to the Boston Celtics. The Heat got a much-needed point guard when they picked up Smush Parker from free agency and signed him to a 2-year deal and veteran guard Penny Hardaway reuniting SHAQ-PENNY duo. Also in the 2007 Offseason, the Miami Heat made a 5 player trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves, bringing back Ricky Davis and Mark Blount. Leaving the Heat was Antione Walker, Wayne Simien, Michael Doleac, and a conditional 1st round pick. Davis was on the Heat in August 2000 but fell out of favor with Riley. Davis is now seen as a more polished scorer, and the third option the Heat need to compliment Dwyane Wade and Shaquille O'Neal.
