Will Pat Riley make some trades come Dec. 15, or will he try his luck with free agents?

I am just wondering. We have a shot at getting Chris Bosh this coming summer, but LeBron, Amare, and/or Joe Johnson ain't coming. Why would they leave where they have built Contenders to a place (South Beach) where they have to compete for whose team this really is? This is Wade's house as long as he's here, and anyone looking to relocate must understand that he will be 2nd fiddle to D-Wade.

That said, Riles, get us Boozer, T-Mac, and/or Andre Miller. Everybody except Wade is expendable. Beasley is looking better this season but has yet to become the low post force we need. Chalmers would be a great backup PG, but we need a top-level playmaker running the show to make things easier for D-Wade. Just my thoughts.

I wouldnt count on any trades

After not getting Lamar Odom or Carlos Boozer in the off-seaosn, I imagine that Riley will be ‘standing pat’ with the roster he has now. Once we get through this season…the Heat will make a big splash in the free-agent pool.

Just to add...

Pat Riley is the man, he knows what he is doing.. Look what he did when the HEAT played the CAVS.. He had the “man” himself sitting next to him.. just incase you didnt see it MJ!!.. and front row seats was his sidekick Pippen.. just to add a little psychology to the store.. the best duo in the league watching what could be a greater duo than them on the same floor.. but maybe on the same team in Miami.. That does make everyone think bout.. na saying that Lebron wont come down is crazy!!! Wouldnt you want to play with your best friend on the same team?? i know i would.. Think about it, they been connect since the Draft and they are all-stars, oylmpic teammates., it makes the game a whole lot easier for them… Plus he gave Danny Ferry the chance and still no title.. look at Pat, three years into Wade’s career and he gave him a team to win a championship and Wade did his thing and we won.. why not go work for a proven winner

I think they should go for a trade

trade Udonis Haslem, Dorrell Wright, and James Jones for Tayshaun Prince, and Jason Maxiell.
So then you could have a lineup of
Mario Chalmers/ Carlos Arroyo/ Chris Quinn
Dwade/Q/ Daquen cook
Tayshaun Prince/ Q/ daquen Cook/Yakhouba Diawara
Michael Beasely/ Jason maxiell/Shavlik Randolph/ Joel Anthont
Jermaine O’neal/ Joel Anthony/ jaamal Magloire
Q would be the sixth man
