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.

Yeah I think Yurt is cooked.

I do wonder if Love pick and popping can help Herro and Robinson while Bam is on the bench or just allow Bam more freedom not needing to set as many picks. Love should give Spoelstra a lot more options he's not had this season.

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

i think the love acquisition improves our playoff seed chances. if bam and jimmy plays it right it could be champioship baby

Not pretending Love is something he's not any more, but it is good to see his rebounds per minute are as good as his 4th NBA season and 2nd All Star appearance where he was averaging 26.0 ppg and 13.3 rpg.

Here's a game 13 months ago, it's about what you can expect to get from Zeller.

Another big body to set some screens to help the outside shooters, maybe a DHO option with Robinson.

Also, a legit big to practice against, the roster feels much more complete and balanced with these 2 additions (Love and Zeller).

You guys should have a separate thread for Love and Zeller.

It's not anywhere on twitter but there are links to him saying that in a story on the Miami Herald. I can't remember if there was a tweet about it from him, but if there was, it's no longer on twitter.
Here's a link to saying what you may have read...

Shams has put this out in recent days...
He also mentions it might not be a good fit because of his lack of defense.

I knew Lowry was coming back. Butler and the front office had to quell that situation

I am so happy we didn't sign Westbrook. I know he has fans here, but that would have been a mistake.

Slow, unathletic, bad footwork and clumsy hands, but he's strong and big and will give Bam a break.

He should know what's he supposed to do when on the court. I think O.Robinson could be a solid player in the NBA, but he seems to end up going to the wrong spot and taking away a lane that a Miami offensive player want to attack, he'll learn how to react better with more experience in the NBA.

Agreed. Plus Zeller will be eager to show his competence. If we get a playoff series with Cleveland, Love will also have a ton of incentive.

Spo really hates Yurt. Cody Zeller?!?!?!

Watch Zeller get more minutes than Love and Yurt get a bunch of DNPs

You're welcome LeBron.

Tyler Herro is a TURD.
Bam is NOT elite but is getting better.
Fire Spoelstra!
