That’s what Yurt is for. Unless he had a setback is his recovery

We only have three bigs, we need one more.

Jeff Schwartz delivered. Relationships do matter people

This guy does good screens and good p&r player. Disciplined veteran.

The staff must think Lowry is going to be able to give them something down the stretch

Nice. We're finally acting like a real basketball team with four legitimate big men on the roster now. Three of them drafted too!

Love signing is incredible. Its the type of player we needed.

With Zeller, his signing makes me worried about Yurt's future availability. If he was coming back soon, I dont think we make this signing.

Who gets sniped from the 2 way? Im assuming this means Robinson goes and we sign Bouyea to the second two way.

Pajama Pat woke the phuk up and took a cocaine enema this morning. Woooohooooo

Finally we are big again. Zeller and Love thank the heavens. Looks like no PG and most likely Bouyea slides into a two way spot. Orlando Robinson back the G league. Thanks for your service

Interesting tidbit, Zeller played college ball with Dipo

Nah, Zeller is the vet backup you want with a situation like Yurtseven has, he's inexperienced, coming off an injury and hasn't really played at all this season. You can't go into the playoffs gambling he's good enough. Then again, Miami did that last year with PJ Tucker... no real backup.

Love and Zeller signing means that Love is actually starting, Zeller is a back up big, between him and Yurt you play whomever is having the better day. If your is stroking it from deep or getting lots of easy rhythm shots under the basket you play the guys giving you more.

Jimmy/Gabe
Herro/Dipo
Martin/Strus
Love/Zeller
Bam/Yurt

That's it. Neither Kyle Lowry nor Duncan Robinson should play another minute unless there are injuries.

Oh well..nothing to lose

If he hits a few open 3’s here n there and in general plays with a high IQ, that’s all that can really be asked of him.

I wouldn't expect much from a Zeller signing other then to add a veteran center who doesn't need coaching

Yea. I imagine he’s just the insurance policy with matchups like Milwaukee or Philly in mind, a guy that might be able to compete for 10-12 mins if we are in foul trouble. More reliable than an Orlando Robinson

He's not a skinny 6'4" guard being asked to play two positions bigger. That's enough.

Zombie Zeller is going to give Boston nightmares.

The Heat had enough guards. Expect Lowry back in the fold but hope Oladipo is ready for for the second half stretch

Zeller is a functional smart center. If Heat needs to run a play that Robinson and Yurtseven haven't been coached to run Zeller should be able run it

Pat must have had a long chat with Spo and said go big or go home.
