He ain’t Manu

But he’s still the kind of guy who can chew up second units and keep Miami in games that way.

But starting him is probably the best way to maximize his value.

I’m not sold on him ling term, but that deal was smart for Miami, considering the cap increase next summer. Unless it adjusts to a percentage of the cap, in which case he’d better ball out.

Miami has a bit of a window and this helps keep them in play without contract drama. He just has to show up ip in the playoffs.
