So Are the Heat REALLY DOING NOTHING !!!

[nba_55]

I agree, Battier was a stupid decision. He has nothing on Mike Miller, he is old, and now a horrible contact.
Heat should have taken someone for a one year MLE, so they would at least have a nice trade chip to match contracts (like the one year 7 mill deal Kwame got- and he was traded too). With the new rule they could have absorbed almost 10 mill in a trade for their expirer MLE.

They tried to get those centers but they couldnt because they asked too much. Battier is playing really well. He has been our best bench player this season.

So happy they didnt get Kaman, would've made them unbeatable.

It was impossible for them to get him with a trade. This guy is making 14 millions. The only way heat could get them is if he is bought out which is still possible since he hasnt been traded.

no expirings, no picks, no trade exception... all they have is garbage contracts. what would you expect from miami?

WTF? He's shooting below 40% from the field. Nobody can even remember the last time he made a jump shot.

Well, he is shooting very bad, and he is not the defender he once was...
I mean they should have overpaid some big man on a one year deal, like the Nets did with Humphries, or GS with Kwame, on one year MLE deals. If the guy agrees, he can be traded for a 9mill / year center even...

And yet he's still a terrific defender. Let's not value his actual purpose.

They didnt have salary to give 7mill or 9mill to any player. The most they could give was something like 3 mill.

Batter is shooting below 40% because he started the season on a really bad note. He was like 15 % for the the field at the beginning of the season. Then, he started to hit his shots and took his fg% to 40%. His defense is still good. Great pick up and he will help us in the playoffs.

His purpose is to hit open shots and defend his man. He's only doing 50% of his job, and there's nothing less significant in basketball than individual perimeter defense.

The guy has sucked.

Maybe they've got something going on with Kaman and just waiting for him to get bought out? Because they know they need a big man and they would have tried to get anything at this point and since they didn't do anything, maybe they're waiting for Kaman?

I'm stil not sure if Miami made the right decision to spend all they had left on Battier. He's not really helping them much. Their perimeter defense was already good last season. They should have tried to get a bigger guy...

He is a liability on offense. Big time

he started the season really bad, then had a couple of good games and lately he's been terrible again (something like 0-14 from 3point range in the last couple of games) and worst of all he kept on shooting late in the game against Orlando although he obviously was shooting bricks. Every shot he took was a shot someone else could have taken and made. I'm not saying he's a bad player but so far he hasn't really played well and I don't think he is what Miami needs!

[CavaliersFTW]

The Heat are perfect. STFU homer.

[ConanRulesNBC]

Who cares? Come playoff time the Heat will shift into another level.

Like they did last season when they won... oops... lost.
