Napier can eventually be far better than Chalmers but as of the end of last season he wasn't as ready to contribute as Chalmers was.

I love Napier's handles but his lack of size is the problem for me. He's so short opposing PGs will post him up and he's had a hard time shooting. Chalmers on the other hand has peaked and we've seen all he has to give. Im fine with moving Chalmers to give Shabazz more PT (never cared for Rio much) but just saying he's not better than Rio yet

Fasho. He played very timid last season and aint try to do too much which resulted in some good non boxscore performances. He has a J tbh, he played so timid everyone he shot was suppose to come earlier than it did. He needed more PT, if given, Chalmers would be an afterthought for MIA right now. Ijs bro, if Pat Riley is about setting the future of MIA, Bazz will be at worse a consistant rotation player. Chalmers may not even have 2-3 years left doing that.

Anyone in for the game tonight? This will be the first one I've been able to view.

I'm planning to catch it. Looking forward to watching Napier again and seeing if Winslow has a better offensive showing

edit: Winslow not playing

In Gerald Green, not only has the Heat found a credible starter to fill in when Dwyane Wade misses time, but Miami also found one who has had success playing alongside Goran Dragic.
Green was on target Friday when he said he "played my best ball with him."

Consider: Green averaged 18.1 points and shot 39.3 percent on threes when he started 33 games alongside Dragic for Phoenix from January through March 2014. During their 1 ½ seasons together, the Suns outscored opponents by 52 points and shot 40 percent on threes when they were on the court together.

"I'm so excited to be playing with him, it's not even funny," Green said. "Being able to have a chance to team up with him again, man, that's just exciting, I can't wait.He gets the ball coast-to-coast. He's almost a one-man fast break."

### The Heat might make an offer to guard Marcus Thornton, who visited Friday, but first wants to see if it can trade a player or two (Mario Chalmers among them).

Responding to Heat fans on Twitter who said they hope he joins the Heat, Thornton tweeted Saturday: "When they offer, I will appreciate all the [love], though."

I truly believe all Bazz needs to do is develop a reliable jumpshot and he'll be a solid player.

ya boy Dragic really makes his teammates better they taking pay cuts just to eat off them fast break assists but seriously i think we might have the best small ball line up with bost at the 5 with amare/mcroberts deng/winslow and green. that bench starter mix should keep the tempo up

 

[Primetime21]

We gotta keep Richardson

 

[Alexander The Great]

We gotta keep Richardson

I think he will be

i think the squad will be

Whiteside/Amare/Birdman
Bosh/McRoberts/Haslem
Deng/Winslow
Wade/Green/Dragic/Richardson
Dragic/Chalmers/Napier

the one change might be if they trade Chalmers and sign Marcus Thornton

Ennis and TJ to the bushes

Ennis and TJ to the bushes

who are they replacing? maybe they sign with the Dleague team, but Ennis and TJ both have non guaranteed contracts, but more importantly...who are they replacing?

At this point TJ has more upside than Chalmers

Riley is in win now mode, not upside mode imo. he only moves chalmers for a proven vet

 

[WaddupDoe!]

Why didnt Gawdtise play?
