I doubt McRoberts is a game changer either way to LBJ. I think the Heat are going to let Bosh walk now.
per marc stein via ESPN; now lebron will stay. so much for the spurs. if we offered we offered the MLE as well but apparently he wanted to be in miami.

20-62 probably for the Spurs now. .
yeah, i was never all that keen on the idea of the spurs going after him.
Full MLE for McRoberts is a little dicey IMO. I'm not too worried about it...and I seriously doubt this is the move that will convince LeBron to stay lol.
4 years for 23 Millions seems like a lot for McRoberts. He got a player option, too. No way the Spurs were going to give him that much. Good for him.
Crap, but better than Melo in Miami.
Will Bosh stay or bolt to Houston?
We can offer the MLE to a lot of players (not that we did) but playing time is a major issue. The Spurs are stacked up in most positions.
Even if the big three agreed to another paycut, that means the majority of money left over for free agents was just used on McRoberts. I don't see how that makes any sense for Miami.
Not a huge deal tbh. He's a slight improvement over Birdman IMO. They still need offensive production, and he's not the answer. I haven't been too impressed with what I've seen from Napier in the Summer League either.
Does that mean they're done shopping?
If the big 3 stay, then pretty much. They will then fill out the roster with minimum players.
Well, I won't do sour grapes. I thought he would be a good, interesting addition for the Spurs. Definitely not a game changer though. If he replaces Birdman, maybe a slight upgrade. Downgrade if Heat can't retain Bosh. /shrug. Guess we will see.
McRoberts is nothing like Birdman... He played point forward for the Bobcats and had the best assist to turnover rate of any non-point guard in the entire league. He also has a decent 3 point shot. He's much more like Boris Diaw, who just signed for 3 years/22 million. Great move by the Heat.
I can see Pat Riley now not resigning Bosh and spending that 15-20 million on three or four players to add depth to the Heat... Guys like Ariza, Aminu, Udoh, etc... it would probably make them better.
I agree, or go for the home run and try and get Melo.
One of my favorite moments in the east playoffs.
Diaw stopper?
Or Danny Granger, who just signed w/ them.
Granger is for the mini mid-level it looks like. This is Riley's pitch to the Big 3: McRoberts, Granger, and minimum salary guys.
The one the Heat should have either been rid of or paid much less was Wade. But since Bosh is just a decent defender/jumpshooter, there's no sense in giving him tons of money.
What they should have done is sign bargain or lower tier guys who can play defense, maybe facilitate the defense, not expect many shots. I'm not sure Granger has much left but he's cheap, and McBob is a good pickup.
Other general boards are cackling at this but IMO it's not terrible. Maybe if they keep Wade and James, sign Gasol, then they're actually in great shape.
Granger and McRoberts
thinking McRoberts is a game changer, since LA got so far with him right?
At least this hopefully closes the door on Gasol signing with the Heat...
