Kind of agree. Id love to have Sullinger but can see the need to add more depth.

I just like Sullinger as an on-the-court fit but I see what you're saying...

What about Jordan Hill?

Willie Reed is quite intriguing

19.2 PER and was very productive despite not many minutes

15/10 per 36 on 57% FG

He has some past, off-the-court history...he's a good player but it would seem to against the culture they are trying to create this off-season.

Again, I want young, hungry guys who never had guaranteed minutes before- so they will run through a wall to be a part of a rotation. And if they get kicked out of the rotation, they won't pout or throw a fit

Sullinger and Gibson are still my 1A and 1B

But I'm intrigued by...

Jordan Hill
Tyler Hansbrough
Jeff Ayres
James Johnson
James Michael McAdoo

I know those names don't truly fit what you're looking for, per se, but I think those are names the team would look into...do need some proven guys to fall back on

So I guess we wait on Miami to make a decision on Tyler Johnson to see where the next chips fall...nets officially signed him to an offer sheet this morning

I think you're confusing "guard who can shoot" with shooting guard.

Wow, I forgot about Hansrough, he would add some toughness. I do not like him, but I would like him on our team. Sometimes you need that type of player

McAdoo looked ok from the limited time I saw him play for GS.

Did Hill have off-court issues at some point? The $2M for good behavior seemed odd to me, but maybe that's being misinterpreted.

With the Bulls bringing in Wade, I don't see the attraction on their part to moving Gibson.

At this point it looks like Heat need guard help, so a McRoberts for Evans trade is gaining traction.

Was that actually the incentive? I saw it described as unrealistic to be reached incentives in one report and thought the good behavior comment was just a joke.

What do you mean by "gaining traction?" Is it just that it is being speculated on social media or do you know of anything?

It could have been. I'm just going off of one comment I read here. It wouldn't be the first time I missed a joke. That's why I was asking, though.

I'm not sure how I feel about that. McRoberts is a 9 year vet that can't get substantial minutes. The Heat have cap room for Tyreke, so they don't need to send anything back other than picks. I think I'd rather a 2nd than McRoberts who may very well pick up his option for next year.

ETA - McRoberts will actually end up owed more money than Evans if he picks up his option. Does he make more than $6M on the open market as an end of bench player? If not, he opts in and you are stuck with his salary ruining shite next summer.

I agree. I would rather have a fake pick. I think you can get a better big for that same 5 million. But if the Heat said McRoberts- take it or leave it; I would take it. If he could be the McRoberts from the 2 or 3 years ago, he's an ideal fit in a Gentry system.

I would think McBob opts out just short of his knees exploding again.

Given the cap situation, he could probably get 3 years $3-4m per year provided he can get on the court.
