| Posted: 28 May 2010 09:08 AM PDT Ask Ira! Please include your name, city and state with each question.
May 28, 2010 Q: How can Wade question a team's loyalty when he expects other free agents to be disloyal to their own teams and sign with the Heat? -- David. A: Hmm, deep philosophy comes to "Ask Ira." I think Dwyane was caught in a "moment" and has no issues with the Bulls, other than being significantly beholden to Michael Jordan because of his affiliation with the Jordan Brand. I can only imagine some of the things Michael has told Dwyane during their private sessions. It was a most non-characteristic moment for Dwyane. Q: Wade saying that he will sit down with James and Johnson sounds like a bit of a threat to the NBA and owners. His comment suggests that the free agents hold all the cards. -- George. A: They do. The question is how much of a toll their demands take on a franchise. When so much salary is concentrated among so few players, the concept of team ball may go out the window for years to come. Q: Hey Ira, I understand that it is very probable Beasley will be traded (although I never thought he was utilized correctly in Miami), but don't you think his value may be a little underrated? He's been a 15-8 guy the last two years, all on an extremely short leash. All I'm saying is that I hope we can find more than cap space for him. Thanks. -- Kevin. A: The problem is all the off-court issues. I don't see many teams risking anything tangible for a player who violated league rookie policies before his first season and then spent more than a month in a league substance program before his second. Michael's talent sells itself. It's the baggage that could doom a deal. Q: I don't really know if this question has been asked before, and my apologies if it has. I have been trying to understand how the cap space on the teams works, but with the Heat having the most cap space, do you see a new big three happening in Miami? (James, Wade and Bosh?) -- Gio. A: That might be a bit too big, with three full-max free agents pushing it. But the Heat could land three high-ranking names if it can unload the contract of Michael Beasley, along with perhaps the contract of Daequan Cook or James Jones, and possibly the salary-cap slot of its first-round pick. Q: It seems that Timberwolves President David Kahn would jump at the opportunity to take Derrick Favors or DeMarcus Cousins with the No. 4 pick, meaning that Al Jefferson might be up for grabs. I am really intrigued by the possibility of a Bosh or Amare frontcourt with Jefferson. Al is one of the few true back-to-the-basket pivots we have left in the NBA. -- Brad. A: On this one, I can only offer my opinion, and that is that Al is a high-volume producer on a low-impact team. I'm not sold on his game being a winning game and would rather spend cap space elsewhere.
May 27, 2010 Q: In light of all the coaching craziness with Calipari rumors, Phil Jackson rumors, can we credit Pat Riley for getting the ball rolling on this? Ever since he put himself in play, it seems every other team is playing catch up to attract a big-name coach. -- Jose. A: I don't exactly look at it the same way. I think for a lot of others, it has been about enhancing their financial standing at their current job. But what I think Riley was trying to do was say that the Heat also had a veteran coaching option available on short notice, without having to recruit outside the organization. This could wind up like it was with Stan Van Gundy, that Pat will make it clear to prospects that he is available should the need surface for him to return to the bench. Q: Will we see any movement with the Heat prior to July 1? Would and could the Heat make any major deals prior to the draft? I am curious to know if you think Riley will make any movement to acquire a player prior to free agency. -- David. A: I certainly think the Heat will try to trade James Jones' contract before having to settle for a buyout. And there are no assurances that Michael Beasley is around beyond the draft. For that matter, there are no guarantees the Heat retains its draft picks. For months this has been about clearing cap space. Don't expect that focus to change.

Martin Gardner, 95, for 25 years a master of matters mathematical for Scientific American's Mathematical Games column and later the punisher of the paranormal and the pseudoscientific in his column Notes of a Fringe Watcher for the Skeptical Inquirer, died Saturday in Norman, Okla. Mr. Gardner was the author of more than 70 books about mathematical puzzles, pseudoscience, philosophy, and the arcana of Alice and Wonderland and other popular works and authors.
