Knowing Spo he'll have Delon as our 4.

He's 6'5 so he can probably even play backup C

On a serious note i love the pick up. Either him or Tyus Jones was my preffered backup PG option and i was fine with trading him for him. Getting him free is amazing.

Can't believe we went from Lowry to Rozier/Wright without spending much. GJ front office!

I was actually going to say Herro must be relieved he didn’t go to another contender lol.

These type of signings actually get me excited. Like getting Love last year. We’re adding veteran guys who plug holes we have (Love added size with shooting and championship experience, Wright is adding great POA defense and can hit open shots) that are actual nba talent level players and are battles tested. The gleaguer stuff doesn’t move we, we’ve gotta settle down with the gleaguer overload

Delon is a walking ball of offensive rebounds and possession advancing passes. Jimmy is gonna rave about him all season.

I forgot you’re that Hawks fan that used to pop in here raving about Wright and wanting us to get him right? Or am I confusing you with someone else?

I’m going to do some digging on those defensive numbers from last season where he was actually involved and see if I can find them

C Bam Adebayo PF/C Kevin Love C Thomas Bryant C Orlando Robinson
PF Nikola Jovic SF/PF Jaime Jaquez Jr PF/SF Haywood Highsmith
SF Jimmy Butler SF Caleb Martin
SG Tyler Herro SG Duncan Robinson SG/SF Josh Richardson
PG Terry Rozier PG Delon Wright (PG Dru Smith)

Now we have enough

Watchin the highlights again, Spo is going to obsess over him pretty quick

Why do I wish the backup guard positions were swapped with the starters? :lol:

I’m most definitely that guy lol. I despise the way Trae informs the Hawks’ play as much as I adore Jimmy’s effect on the Heat so I drop in from time to time. I don’t do the Spo and Bam hate though so I don’t visit often. Herro fans got agitated when I said his loss in the playoffs wouldn’t hurt one bit too haha (not the case this season tho)

Can the Heat cut someone and sign Nerlans Noel to minimum without going over the tax thing?

You start Delon Wright next to Herro, and when Rozier comes in you put Jrich next to him. Theres your guard rotation.

If it’s up to Klay he probably ends up on the Lakers. He’s west coast through and through

I think we are done signing anyone else. We are already in the tax and Micky i’m sure just paid a tax premium for Wright. We could release Dru Smith but at this point i don’t think it’s going to happen. We are already 5 deep at Center.
