The Sunday Spotlight is a new little feature that I am trying out to shed more light on bloggers writing about the Miami Heat. I just want to give some link love to people out there fighting the good fight. This week, we are featuring some great articles about the draft and exactly who Michael Beasley is (who goes to 7 different high schools?). So sit back, relax and enjoy the read!

Considering the five year run the West had post Jordan-Era with San Antonio book ending the Lakers Three-Peat, I’d be hard pressed to argue that the East has not only caught up with the West, but might even have surpassed it. For one, the NBA is much like politics, mostly due to the Draft Lottery which is, as my brother would tell you, retarded. Why a team like Chicago deserves a number 1 pick, no one will ever know.

Derrick Rose. Derrick Rose? Derrick Rose! All I hear about these days is Derrick Rose. Sure Michael Beasley is one of the greatest talents we’ve seen in quite a while, but questions of his value to either of the top two picks in the Bulls and Heat respectively have pretty much pushed him out of the picture. Honestly, I can’t say it’s too stupid. Though articles I read of his workouts and seeing him in action during the NCAA Tourney really caught my eye, he just has the reeking aura of a Ryan Leaf (NFL sure, but if you don’t know who he is, take 50 points off of your sports fan card and look him up).

When the Federal Reserve Chairman speaks, the stock markets usually calms down. And so when Pat Riley speaks, we the Heat fans also calm down. Besides receiving the good news that he will be staying, at least for the next few years, as the Heat’s head coach, he also had quite a bit to add about everything else going on with the team. One of the greatest inspirational coaches of all time, Riley may be just as important an asset as any other free agent signing.

Question: Do the Heat need to get older players?
Pat Riley: Hell yeah!

In addition to adding Penny Hardaway recently, the Heat picked up Smush Parker from the Lakers and they (duh) drafted Daequan Cook. So besides having stacked the ages of their new guards from young to old, did the Heat get any better at that position? They definitely needed point guard help, but will these players cut the mustard?

That’s right folks! The first NBA action of the year is coming up this week! And no, the Summer League stuff didn’t really count. And besides it was fairly boring stuff. Well, finally the big boys are coming out of their Summer slumber to play some real basketball; or at least a strange, wimpier European version of basketball. Either way, even if D-Wade won’t be playing (obviously still recovering from injury), I am just itching for some action. The FIBA Americas qualifying tournament starts this Wednesday, so read on to check out the schedule!

I am getting more and more excited for the season to start. Even though I am having doubts about the Miami Heat’s Offseason so far, I still cannot wait for the season to begin. Even if Miami does not land any new players, I still know that the team will be exciting to watch. Hell, any team with Dwayne Wade and Shaq would be exciting; besides also having a chance to win every game as long as they are both healthy. Then, add to that the building buzz that Dorell Wright is generating this offseason. I mean, he hardly plays, but when I have seen him, he has been just a phenomenal athlete. And if he has been working on his jumper and the 3, I just can’t wait to see him in action. All of that being said, here is a great highlight reel from the 2007 season that I found at YouTube. It was made by M.Y.K.
