Miami Heat to pursue Raymond Felton

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I agree with this. My whole point from the start was i don't think he deserves Elite PG money. If we can get him for a good price I'm all for it.

Oh I agree, I think get him for 3 mil this year then let him walk next year. Then go after Tony Parker, Aaron Brooks, or Rodney Stuckey.

Boris Diaw's (Player Option)

I'm nitpicking, but he doesn't have a player option for next year. He's under contract through the '11/'12 season

According to HoopsHype.com Raymond Felton has been linked to 4 teams. The Knicks, Heat, Pistons, and Bobcats.

He has also been aproached by Indiana and New Jersey

Felton will get more then 3 million, he'll end up getting around 7-8 million a year easily. He's considered the best PG in the FA class (which is Thin). That alone automatically drives the amount of money he will receive up. Look for him to go to either the Piston's or the knick's for around 7 million a season, maybe more. I consider the heat on the outside for this one, their main concern is Wade and another max player.

Fact is: Felton was a no-show in the playoffs... time to move on, Miami would be doing us a favor.
