I hope we can retain the rights of Joshua Smith somehow and let him develop in the D-League. If he is as skilled as they say, they might as well keep him around for a while.

I never understood why a team can't sign an undrafted player to their D-League affiliate for a year or two (at least) without guaranteeing him a spot on the main roster.

Our whole SL roster was filled with offensively challenged players. So im not really suprised. Our best scorer was the white dude out of Davidson.

Plus we try to shoot WAAAAAAY to many fukking 3s. Seems like thats the only shots we look for. & to make it worse we have no real 3 point shooters on the team.

Five Things Heat Fans Learned During Summer League

They stay stealing from the Coli.

 

[Alexander The Great]

An NBA general manager said Mario Chalmers and Shabazz Napier are the players the Heat has been most aggressive in shopping, with Miami preferring to move Chalmers because of his $4.3 million salary.

The GM said the Heat would be content getting back only a second-round pick (or less) for Chalmers. Though Chris Andersen could be moved, the GM said the Heat hasn’t offered him to his team, and that Miami hasn’t shown an inclination to move Josh McRoberts.

### One positive with Napier, who averaged 17 points in Summer League and is due to make $1.3 million this coming season: “He looked quicker this summer,” said Heat assistant Dan Craig, who coached Miami's summer league team. “He's been great in terms of getting into the paint and getting paint touches. We had challenged him [about] getting in the paint more, playing with a higher motor....

"He looks night and day from last summer. His pace and quickness have improved. [And] he's improved his three-point shot."

### The Heat will make rookie guard Josh Richardson an offer to retain his rights but must decide whether to make room for him on the roster or encourage him to play a year overseas. Richardson’s reps want him to be in the NBA and it’s ultimately his choice whether to try to make the team in October.

The NBA “has always been my dream; nobody wants to play anywhere else,” he said, adding he doesn’t know if he would consider a year overseas if asked.

Richardson averaged 11.8 points, shot 8 for 21 on three-pointers with 17 steals and 9 blocks in 10 Summer League games. Does he look ready to be an NBA player now?

“I think he does,” Craig said. “It's just about roster wise what we're going to be looking at in terms of what we really need. When everything is said and done, I think he's going to be right there in the mix.

“He's another guy we're really encouraged by on both sides of the floor. Offensively and defensively, just his overall demeanor. He approaches the game as if he was an NBA player already. That’s pretty encouraging for a kid coming out of college.”

Problem is, the Heat has 17 players without him. Even if Miami trades Chalmers and cuts Henry Walker, there still would not be room for Richardson unless Miami dumps another player.

JRich needs to be on the roster.

Haven't gotten to see Justise yet, but what I saw in this video I can definitely see some potential for him on offense

0:45 - 0:49 was just

His game resembles Wade at some times

Definitely a good ball handler and fearless to the basket.

I wouldn't say Wade. He lacks leaping ability and will likely get a lot of his shots blocked in the real NBA come season start.

He needs to strengthen up so he could finish sronger at the rim. He won't get all these calls he got in summer league.

A King Pito sighting?
