Posted Jul 14, 2014 6:11 PM
MIAMI -- The Miami HEAT announced Monday that they have signed forward Josh McRoberts. Per club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"We felt from day one that he was one of our main targets," said HEAT President Pat Riley. "We are delighted that this multifaceted player will help us immensely in being the kind of team that Coach Spoelstra wants with his versatility."
McRoberts, a seven-year NBA veteran, has appeared in 350 games (160 starts) in his career, averaging 5.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists while shooting 47.6 percent from the field, 34.2 percent from three-point range and 71 percent from the foul line. Last season, he started all 78 games in which he appeared, and averaged 8.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.3 assists while shooting 43.6 percent from the field, 36.1 percent from three-point range and 72.9 percent from the foul line. He made a career-high 105 three-pointers last season and ranked second in the NBA in assists-per-turnover (4.0).
During the 2014 NBA Playoffs, McRoberts averaged 11.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists while shooting 45.5 percent from the field, 47.1 percent from three-point range and 80 percent from the foul line.
McRoberts was originally drafted by the Portland Trail Blazers in the second round (37th overall) of the 2007 NBA Draft.

I'm out here. I'm still in a state of shock. 2 years and no guarantee you'll win a title but you'll generate 500 mill for the city of CLE? I don't know what to make of the move.
My sauces pointed to him staying in Miami and them retooling to contend for more ships. The moves Pat has made in the wake of his decision have Miami looking like a top 3/5 team in the east...
Why go back now?

His defense is suspect but if you keep him in that 6ixth 7th man off the bench role he can shine.
Lowkey.. Miami still gotta a squad
PG: Chalmers / Cole / Napier
SG: Wade / ?
SF: Deng / Ennis
PF: Bosh / McRoberts / Haslem / Beasley
C: Birdman / Oden
still gotta sign some pieces but the heat are looking pretty good going forward

"Bold Prediction" - Bosh will be on the All-NBA 2nd team this year. He was so underrated playing 3rd wheel to Lebron / Wade. Bosh bout to takeover.

And Granger...why did lebrons ho ass leave again?
He's a grown man. He can make his own choices and take responsibility for the outcome. I respect his decision and am grateful for the four years of amazing basketball he gave miami.

I really don't get the decision to leave now but I know you shouldn't call him a hoe. He's still the best player in the game today.
The decision is with a disscussion. Miami has the tools and experience (championship DNA) to get to the finals year in/year out with how weak the East is.

Sinister is a system
Now do Bosh move back to the 4? We still dont have a starting center cause bird is best off the bench not playing 26+. If we cant find anybody maybe bosh starts at the 5 for a few min with McRob at the 4 or is Hamilton getting the starting job cause he doin ok in the summer league
