Dont trade for Austin, unless you only want him for the remainder of the
season. Only a true championship calibre team will trade for him, to be
the icing on the cake to be win it all this season.

Ike can only sign for something like $700,000 MAX! Why would the heat
trade someone worth as much as Austin is, if they could re-sign him at
the end of the season for as much as they want???

I mean they were willing to pay out big time bucks for Juwan Howard,
thats right Juwan Howard, remember?

I know I've made rumours up to get him, but we wont re-sign him. I see
him going to Utah, I thought that about a week before ESPN wrote their
article.
