Boris Diaw is a game changer, and so is McRoberts. It doesn't make sense to say one is and the other isn't-- they're too similar.
These are good role-players, what Miami should have been after all along. They didn't need any more expensive stars.

Not spending what little money they had on a center... They really should have drafted Capela...
Boris is a much better shot creator and has a great post game... They're not in the same tier...
How would Capela help? He's not coming over anytime soon. What center did they spend money on?
Can't really comment on this signing until the rest of Miami's roster is full, tbh..
He's a good player, net positive offensive player and average defensive player, stretch big with great passing ability, but Miami needs defenders/athletes, at this point..

Heat strike deals with Josh McRoberts and, according to @WojYahooNBA, Danny Granger. LeBron, I'm told, was made aware of McRoberts pursuit
The Rockets don't want him to come over yet, he never planned to stay in Europe...
I thought McRoberts looked like a player in Indiana way back in the day. Still, he could barely get minutes off the bench. He was too green to look good in Portland. I'm guessing he flourished with the Bobcats where I never saw him play. He should be good with Lebron and Wade.
...what?
McRoberts is fine in a vacuum, but they desperately need defensive players, tbh..
Lebron can't carry an offense and a defense simultaneously anymore, too much mileage..Wade is just an offensive specialist now, he's a defensive negative..they are going to be overwhelmed by athleticism, unless they can find some niche athletes as role players, but Riley is a poor GM that isn't known for finding gems..
The Spurs were after McRoberts too. I don't suppose you think RC Buford AND Pat Riley are no good at evaluating nba talent, do you?
I wonder if they are going to get Gasol and dump Bosh.
yeah, if this is what the heat thinks seals the deal that's pretty sad. it will take much more than a role player and a PG from UCONN.
Heat nation.
Let's all root for Miami since we've shared 2 incredible finals with them.
McRoberts is actually smaller than Kyle Anderson.
Here are the numbers for McRoberts:
2007 NBA Pre-Draft Camp 6' 8.75" 6' 10" 240 7' 1" 8' 10.5"
and Anderson:
NBA Draft Combine 6' 7.5" 6' 8.5" 230 7' 2.75" 8' 11.5"
The key measurements are the wingspan and standing reach.
Bolt imo
I know he's an athletic freak, tall, easily the fastest player around.Bolt imo
But I'm not convinced he can shoot or handle the ball, tbh.
If Lebron goes back to the heat, it doesn't matter who the other players are going to be, it's a guarantee that they make it again to the finals.
Let's be real, what other the other compe ive teams in the East?
Exactly. McRoberts is a hustle guy, but he is not on Diaw's level when it comes to bb iq.
I think thats probably whats going to happen. Lebron with the max and Wade at 4y, 60 million, $15 million this season plus. I dont think McBob and Granger are actually for the MLE and BAE. but that is just its being referred to because they are going to use their cap space. The money the same though. They are probably going after Deng or Ariza along with Williams and maybe even Nelson.
lol no
The one they should be dumping is Wade IMHO.
