Miami Heat have signed Amare Stoudemire (Confirmed)

Man we'd really cash in if the league is actually attempting to reduce back-to-backs... could mean a lot for teams like ours

If Stat can give the Heat 11 and 6 off the bench ....I'm good with that..Imagine
Stat 11
Rio 10
Green 10-12 a game...Now That's a good Nba bench with Winslow and Birdman to add....Mickey pay the dang penalty ...

How would such a 3rd unit fair considering that none of them were even with us last year or played a very limited role ?

Amare
McBob
Green
Winslow
TJ

Amar'e Stoudemire reaches deal with Heat, the team announced. I've been told it's a one-year contract worth $1.5M.

PS, I wonder what # he wears, 32?

If we cut Ennis, yes.

He already chose #5.

Money saved. Ka-ching!!

so Bosh, Wade, STAT and Dragic are our "Prime Time" squad. I can dig it. I was hoping Winslow picked 5.

Health is all i am really concerned w/ with Stat. His defense is what it is, i'm not expecting miracles but his offensive game is what will help us off the bench. If he can stay healthy the more efficient he can be as he gives us 100% effort he won't be able to if he is not fully healthy.

I always wanted to know how much did Amare eye surgery effect his vision and game. Because that is when his defense took a big turn south.

I wonder who will come off the bench 1st, Him, or Bob?

My best guess is McBob. They have wanted to see how Bosh and him play together for a while and spread the floor for Wade (and now Dragic), I guess he'll come in for Whiteside and then to start the second quarter we'll start with Amare at Center and McRoberts at PF. That's my best guess.

[leoshes]

Its nice to finally have depth on our bench.

I wonder how they would work together defensively? I never watch the Knicks, (always hated them, & the BULLs), so was his defense that bad these past few years? could he prove enough on that end to make Bird expendable?

I really hope that he can, & that JR can prove to be a legit back up PG.

Then around FEB trade Chlamers, & Bird, but only if we wont need them.

[dancing2thabeet]

I don't think Stat can repalce Bird on the defensive end. He's beyond bad on that side of the court.
