I don't get it because he is likely going to cut into Shump (their best defender) or JR's (one of their hottest players) minutes.ZWICK 4 PREZ;1783376 wrote:Why don't you get it?
He's a good defender. We have no legit starting wing, next to LeBron. Shump, jr, mo, delly are all better off the bench.
A lineup of Kyrie, Joe, Lebron, love, and TT to finish a game? Yes please.
You really think he's just gonna go ISO like he is on the Nets?BR1986FB;1783378 wrote:I don't get it because he is likely going to cut into Shump (their best defender) or JR's (one of their hottest players) minutes.
He's also known as "Iso Joe", which Lue is trying to get away from. Good player, but don't get the fit for what they are trying to do unless, as I said, it's to safeguard against injury. Would've loved to have him last year, as an insurance policy, in the Finals, but I don't see how Lue is going to juggle minutes.

We have two roster spots and we will get him for less than $1M a year. He provides some scoring off the bench and can hit 3 point shots at a greater clip than almost anyone on the team.BR1986FB;1783373 wrote:I really don't get this unless it's to safeguard from someone getting injured.
He would likely take some minutes away from Shump/Delly/Smith/RJ/ LBJ. All of which should be playing fewer minutes to stay healthy/fresh as is, especially LBJ. 3-4 minutes from all of them would give him 15-20 a night which would be perfect.BR1986FB;1783378 wrote:I don't get it because he is likely going to cut into Shump (their best defender) or JR's (one of their hottest players) minutes.
I get that part. Just trying to figure out how Lue's going to dish out minutes and keep everyone happy.sleeper;1783391 wrote:We have two roster spots and we will get him for less than $1M a year.

I think he's worth $1M.
Lebron will get less minutes. I know we need Lebron but I'd rather have him rest more during the regular season and take a few games off while still giving the Cavs a good chance to win.BR1986FB;1783400 wrote:I get that part.

delly shouldn't be playing at all...HighRoller74;1783394 wrote:He would likely take some minutes away from Shump/Delly/Smith/RJ/ LBJ.

Uh no. Delly is a good 2nd teamer.slingshot4ever;1783408 wrote:delly shouldn't be playing at all...
Lol what? Delly has been awesome this year. As for joe Johnson, you obviously haven't watched him play this year. He has looked to pass to Lopez and others instead of being an ISO player. He's not the same joe Johnson of the past he's more of a spot up shooter/facilitator than an ISO player. And the big thing with jj is we match up so much better with him against GS.slingshot4ever;1783408 wrote:delly shouldn't be playing at all...
Was thinking that as well. Especially considering they want to make a run at Durant next year.Commander of Awesome;1783445 wrote:Not sure why the Heat would sign him. That would put them back in the repeater tax which they tried successfully to get out of in the trade deadline.
