Heat sign guard Shannon Brown
Shannon Brown is joining the Heat. (USATSI)
The Miami Heat have signed veteran free agent Shannon Brown, his agency announced on Wednesday. The combo guard's contract is for one year and $1.3 million, according to USA Today's Sam Amick.
Brown signed with the New York Knicks in late February and spent summer league with them, helping new head coach and ex-Lakers teammate Derek Fisher implement the triangle offense. New York decided to release him afterward, though, and he'll give the Heat some extra depth in the backcourt.
With Mario Chalmers, Norris Cole and Shabazz Napier at point guard, Miami probably doesn't need him to play much at that position. The 28-year-old's best chance to break into the rotation is probably to take some of the backup shooting guard minutes that went to Ray Allen last year. He's obviously nowhere near the shooter that Allen was, but he's a etter defender at this stage of their respective careers.

He can shoot the ball and he has hops, he pretty much sucks at everything else though.

If you just get it to him for a wide open 3, he makes them at a solid rate (like most NBA guards). His shooting was fine in the triangle, the one year he played next to Nash, he shot pretty well from 3, efficiency and production dropped on a horrible suns roster. Couldn't crack the Spurs or the Knicks rotation, but he did shoot 42% from 3 in NY
He's your average 3rd string guard.

He shot 42% FG% overall and attempted no 3's during his NY stint. After he left the Lakers, anyone who watched him knows that he bricked a lot of threes when he was on the Suns with Nash. Let me repeat that. With Nash.
After Nash left, he shot 27.7% from 3 (39 for 141)...

Those are mostly Bron fan boys and other haters of the Heat. Anyone who has a clue knows they'll be fine with the roster they have. Still need some more 3 point shooting, but it's still a good enough squad to compete for their division and a Top 4 seed.
Plus, it's the East. If your a healthy squad you should be fine, but that's not exactly in Miami's favour either.

I'm actually really excited to see Bosh this year. I think he's gonna do great with a much increased role on offense. Should be interesting to watch.

Why does Riley keep adding these high profile players? He knows LeBron is gone right?
