Crystal Ballin' takes a team-by-team look at what should, could, and probably will happen in the June 26th NBA Draft.The Miami Heat was a team that finished the season in virtual chaos. Just about everyone with any level of talent finished the season on the sidelines due to injury, and their head coach skipped out on them mid-season to scout players for their pick in this year's draft. Well, Miami, here's the good news: you just have one pick to wait for Thursday night until you're on the clock.
Picks: #2, #52.
Needs: The Heat could use help in a lot of areas, but let's be honest: they're going to draft one of two players, and that's Derrick Rose or Michael Beasley. At least if they stick with the number two pick, that's what's likely. But there's also the possibility that O.J. Mayo might be selected, regardless of whether or not the Heat can work out a deal with the Timberwolves, who select third.
Best case scenario: That the Bulls select Beasley, and the Heat get Rose. That's the player they really want, and if somehow the Bulls went with Beasley, there would be a lot of smiles on the faces of Heat executives.
More likely scenario: The Bulls select Rose, and the Heat have a choice to make. Do they do the logical thing, and select Beasley? Do they let Beasley slip to number three by selecting Mayo? Do they try to get some compensation from Minnesota by trading Beasley for Mayo? Only Pat Riley and the rest of the Heat brass have the answer.
Please don't take: O.J. Mayo with the second pick. If Mayo's the player you want, at least get something -- anything -- from Minnesota in return.
Trade possibilities: They seem pretty high, especially with the Timberwolves. Then again, it's not like Rose, Beasley, or Mayo would exactly be a disappointment. Whatever the Heat end up doing, it appears they can't really go too wrong by selecting this high in the draft.
