The Turcules question - what do we do with Omer Yurtseven? *With Poll*

Packaging Yurt and Robinson together may get the Heat a deal for someone.

If he had stayed in the lineup after Bam’s return, his value would be higher and he could be as valuable as a decent 1st. That would mean we could use him in place of missing draft capital, but I’m not sure we can now.

Looking at a birds eye view on how Miami operates, from a management perspective you have minute commitments with other players. Unfortunately thats how the cookie crumbles here. He will be revaluated next year, and we may not make additional commitments to other 1 year salary players that are getting minutes this year. This is done 2 fold, one it means you keep players working hard to climb the latter, and agents around the league go to bat for Miami to sign players knowing they won't be dropped from playing time.

At the same time, one could argue that his lack of PT since Bam returned killed his case for a birth in the Rising Stars game. He was averaging 7.4/6.2 when he played 10-19 mpg, so he could have kept a head of steam going. Instead he’s played less than 10 total minutes.

Getting into that game is basically a pathway to an All-Rookie 3rd team, which in turn pretty much guarantees an 8-figure second contract (Nunn got $10.3m over 2 years, DJJ got $19m over 2, and that type of money could set up anyone for life). If they don’t show him more love next year, and give him the space to develop into the player he showed potential to be then the Heat have done the wrong thing by him and his agent.

If GMs were dumb maybe this would make sense but they do thoroughly research things beyond media hype.

You can say that, but Nunn, DJJ and Caleb were all released by their first teams and cleared waivers (all other teams passed), before we picked them up. Two of the three have signed for their contract worth 8-figures. There is talk around Caleb looking for MLE money or higher.

GMs might not be dumb, but they like what we find and how we get them better. They see how players can be used and pay to get those players, if they think it’s what they need to plug into their roster holes. Yurts run was comparable to Capela’s third season, just a couple years before he got paid big. Low usage, high efficiency roll bigs (who can defend well enough) generally can find 8-figures.

Those are other points entirely.

Appreciate Turcules. He doesn't complain and, instead, channels that energy into working harder and staying prepared. Truly a model Heat player (may also be a male model).



He's also got a sense of humor
