What Is Wrong With Miami?

One and seven for the past eight?? Blechh. The offense is killing us right now. No movement, and absolutely lethargic on the wings. Only Haslem and Wright have shown to want to win all the games. And Dorell, doesn't even get enough playing time.

What would it take for this team to get back? Wade's back but still not a hundred percent. Pat Riley is contemplating retirement. Shaq is.. well Shaq is old. The Smush Parker signing is proving to be way awful. And all tradeable assets have been dealt (draft picks and Doleac).

So where? Where are they going to go from here? You can only ride the Wade-factor for so long. And besides, you have to get to the playoffs first, before Wade and Shaq and Zo can carry you, right?

So what do we do? If it were up to me: (1) Start Dorrell Wright (2) Trade Smush and Barron for a young Jarrett Jack-type PG; a point who hustles, gets to the hole, and knows how to feed big men, and a marginally-decent defender (3) Shaq 25 mins, Zo 20 mins and (4) transform Ricky Davis into a purely defensive SF (it is apprent now, that his offense cannot be trusted to win games).

Actually easier said than done, and might not have apparent results, but it should definitely be a step in the right direction.
