I think Eddie Jones had deteriorated quite a bit from the player he was before so his loss was more from a chemistry standpoint than on-court skills. But I think Damon Jones leaving will be a bigger blow than they thing. Jason Williams and James Posey are two players that I think could be very good for Miami, although Williams also carries a great deal of risk. He needs the ball alot to, and works best in a open, flowing offense, which usually isn't the case when you have a dominant center.

I say that about Walker, and I'm a Walker guy. I've liked the guy ever since he came into the league...I've always liked how he plays with passion. Hell, I liked him when he was at Kentucky. He gets short-changed, I agree. He never should have left Boston (as if he had a choice). Yep, Damon Jones was such a great fit in Miami -- he had some huge games for them, Eddie Jones too. No doubt Miami brought in some talented guys, let's see how they compliment the superstars.
