After all, the man did start 112 games for us over the past 3 seasons. #HeatCulture

He's an hard worker that overachieved and played solidly for us despite lacking size and talent.

Thanks Mclovin.

dont you find it odd that they extended the yante maten contract and that they suddenly cut off mcgriddle? to me this has much to do with the heat loss the other day.remember that wade had a few words with spo during the game.just think about it

Maten agreed Sunday with the Heat on a standard, two-year contract extension worth up to $3.1 million, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Wondering if he was playing hurt. His shot fell off a cliff. I hope he bounces back with his next team. He showed too much promise for his career to tumble like this.

I wish Spo didn't overplay him to the point that I was disgruntled every time he stepped on the court.

He had a very solid start of the season this year (IIRC, we were saying he is outplaying the likes of TJ and JRich early on). His effort and tenacity will be missed.

I liked Rodney, a hard worker and underrated player, always best in the clutch. I know we could not afford to give him a decent contract and would lose him anyhow, but waiving him like this is a mark against us, without a doubt. On the other hand, we gave him a chance in the first place, so the account is even.

He should do well on his next team. I hope so.

Are there any rumors of anyone else looking to pick him up this week?

Nice, thanks for the heads up. Shrewd move by Riley but also a savvy one by Jerry West and company.

Old Lakers connection right there.

McClippers huh. Guess if they do end up making a FA splash they’ll need all the cheap labour they can get.

As much as Hot Rod drove me nuts, I do wish him the best. He was just way too redundant here, and being played outside of a role he should have.
