Prepare to be disappointed?I will be starting an actual Heat thread for the several people on this site who have always loved the Heat.

Zero chance they'll miss the playoffs. You could have Darko and Marbury fill out the starting five and they'd easily make the playoffs. Now, whether they can win a championship is altogether different. they're certainly a sexy pic anyhow.

I like the idea of a random fan getting to run point every night and getting a jersey as payment.
First! I can do a reasonable Matt Maloney impression.

For those that haven't heard, Le Betard is going to travel around with the team and write a book on this season. He is up in NY this week talking to publishers. Should be interesting if he gets deep enough behind the scenes.

I don't remember if it was Simmons on the LeBatard show or LeBatard on the Simmons podcast, but Simmons said something like, "When's the book coming out?" and LeBatard nixed the idea saying that he wanted to enjoy this season and that writing isn't fun.I wonder what changed his mind.I'm looking forward to it though.Wait, what does this mean for his radio show?

This weekend I saw an old clip of high schooler Kobe Bryant's press conference where he announced he was going to enter the NBA draft.He said, "I'm taking my talents to the NBA."

He said on his chat today its going to mean missing more radio shows to follow them on a few road trips, but said this is the first time he has been inspired about writing in a long time. His brother is going to do artwork for the book, and will travel with him.

Probably the knowledge that this could end up being a great story that will command a lot of money in the book market. He can't be making that much cash as a journalist/radio host/occasional PTI contributor.

From his chat...Q: What happened to you Thursday? Weren't you suppose to interview Dwyane Wade? I wanted to hear kiss his hiney. So disappointed when I heard Jax.Answered 07/19/10 13:07:42 by Dan Le BatardA: on vacation....not back til next thursday....i'll get another crack at wade....i'm going to be bothering these guys the remainder of the season....in new york taking book meetings....i'm going to do a book on this seasonQ: You say: 'The bigger the ball, the harder it is to sell books'. Other than this, what is your greatest concern with this subject?Answered 07/19/10 13:14:17 by Dan Le BatardA: just sitting down to write, which hurts....but taking meetings here in new york with my brother, an artist....he'll do the art for it....and we'll just travel around with this team and chronicle it....going to be a lot of fun....and has me inspired about writing for the first time in a long timeQ: Whats the name of the book going to be? How three young black guys raped and pillaged the NBA: A season in Miami... Can I preorder a copy?Answered 07/19/10 13:19:52 by Dan Le BatardA: LeBatard Kisses Black AssQ: i'd be inspired for the first time in a long time as well if there were many millions of dollars riding on it...... dickAnswered 07/19/10 13:23:07 by Dan Le BatardA: couldn't care less about money....really couldn't....have no idea how this book would sell or what kind of advance it would get....just looking forward to doing something really fun with my brotherQ: So a book on this season? Kind of like Halberstam and the '79 Blazers? What would your hope for the ending of the season be in a selfish way? Win? Lose?Answered 07/19/10 13:28:56 by Dan Le BatardA: just fun....going to be interesting either way...i don't care about sales or money....really don't....just want to have fun....my job is to make it good, regardless of result....i don't need happy endings or sports mythologizing...i'll write what happens in an entertaining way, hopefullyQ: If you're gonna do a book on this season's Heat, is that gonna pull you away from the radio show?Answered 07/19/10 13:35:59 by Dan Le BatardA: some

I remember it as "I'm going to tend my time to the NBA."

He doesn't do things for money.If he writes the book like he does his show, it should be great.
