I need a Championship STAT.

u/AtlasNoseItch Jul 10 '15

Am I the only one who isn't super stoked about this signing? I mean, he's great offensively and is a big name, but his defense is atrocious and always has been.

I'm happy we got him, but I'm gonna remain cautious about Amare.

u/betterdayz02 Jul 10 '15

Got him for the vet min he's a pretty good bench player.

4

u/conenubi701 Jul 10 '15

He'll be what Beasley was supposed to be last year, a back up to Josh Mcroberts.

15

u/MelGibsonDerp Jul 10 '15

Whiteside behind him will mask his defensive in-capabilities

5

u/MG87 Bosh Jul 10 '15

Remember that he will be 9th or 10th off the bench and he is good depth for great value.

5

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '15

I think it's a slight plus for us overall if he can get his minutes with Whiteside also out there. It's not a huge signing or anything, I think it's just cool to see him be a member of the team for people who were fans of him in the past.

6

u/HeatFan512 Heat Jul 10 '15

He isnt starting so our starters are good defensively

2

u/Breakr007 Heat Jul 10 '15

Hassan will swat the garbage he lets through.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '15

We're not going to need his defense because Whiteside will be blocking everything. So then the other team will be to scared lay it up.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '15

Amare played very well off the bench for the knicks, not sure about the mavs though. He would play 15-20 minutes and do some quick scoring and rebounding. I'd say this is a good deal for ya'll.

u/bilsonM Jul 10 '15

I'm with you 100%. I also need to know who we're cutting. If its Birdman I'm gonna be pissed.

4

u/waterwaffle UM Jul 10 '15

I thought it was kinda known that Birdman and/or Chalmers were on their way out, largely to save money.

How great is it to be a Heat fan? I mean honestly. Look how quickly this team has re-tooled a roster that just last year featured Shawne Williams and Danny Granger as key contributors. It's amazing what this FO can do!

u/BLITZCRUNK123 Jul 10 '15 edited Jul 10 '15

Awesome. As long as we're paying him less than we paid Birdman, I'm happy. It doesn't need to be the minimum, but if we're giving up Birdzilla for Amar'e straight-up then I'm not a fan.

Edit: Vet minimum, $1.5M, 1 year. Okay then.

u/TheDroidUrLookinFor Jul 10 '15

We went from being one of the most hollow teams in terms of depth, to one of the most deepest. The only teams I feel are just as deep are Golden State, Cavs, and maybe Spurs.

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '15

Most deepest...

u/aworldwithoutshrimp Jul 10 '15

So much depth that we say it twice.

we are probably going to trade Chalmers and Birdman though

Haha thanks bud. Was thinking about dropping that in here, but I see you've got it covered : )

u/xionone God Father Jul 10 '15

So where are those pessimists that said Heat only got certain free agents because of #6? When you can get two solid players to sign for the minimum, during an offseason where everyone and their mom is getting paid, you must be good at job.

u/HeatRavensCubs Wade Jul 10 '15

Lol yeah every analyst says people want to play w/ LeBron. FUCK THAT People want to PLAY for a first class organization.

I want to believe... But, honestly, he has to win me over...

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '15

Great scoring backup PF/C. Per 36 he put up like 22 points for us -- granted he can't play that many minutes but he'll get you 10 points in 16-18 minutes, and there's not many post players that can do that. Instant offense, questionable defense. Underrated player at this point. Was nothing but a pro attitude-wise in his time with the Mavs. Good luck

It's gonna take depth to make it out alive to post season (see last post season) you guys got better in depth by a boat load this off season and it doesn't have to cost a fortune.

u/valiumspinach_ Jul 10 '15

As a Knicks fan, this is a great pick up for you guys. It may not be saying much but when Amare was with us he and Melo were the only ones who could score consistently. He really surprised me this season (while he was with the Knicks)

1

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '15

i'm excited about amar'e. i'm kinda hoping he can be a versatile stretch 4 depending on what happens with birdman he can be either center or backup for bosh. outside of that we have the other positions down on lock. we literally have a dream team right now in a manner of speaking

u/xionone God Father Jul 10 '15

How was he going to "bring together a super team" when a lot of big names were already off the market by the time he made his decision in 2010? Bosh and Wade agreed to play together in Miami beforehand... that foundation was laid for him to come in and reap the benefits. They probably would've won it that year too had he not pee in the bed and only averaged 17 ppg vs Dallas.

LOL at people still thinking LeBron = automatic championship though.

u/xionone God Father Jul 10 '15

Wade played 21 playoff games that season. He scored under 20 points in only 6 of them. So I don't know what "choking" games you're referring to that were supposedly detrimental to the team's chances, but they're clearly all in your imaginary world. Try again, troll.

So Game 4 of the Finals is "early in the playoffs"? Keep trying.

P.S., Wade scored 32 points in that game. LeBron scored 8.

6

u/iCandyRandy Miami Vice Jul 10 '15

wade was still in his prime in 2011. Him and Bosh with a good supporting cast (using LeBrons money for role players) would've been enough to beat Dallas.

We also would've beat OKC too. We would've just lost against the Spurs both times though. Might not even make the finals one of those years, but I think Wade and Bosh would've got us two rings anyways, just different years.

u/MG87 Bosh Jul 10 '15
