Eh, 2 overpriced players that will be lucky to get 10 minutes a game… Mike Miller is a 2/3 player and Haslem is a 4 man. They probably signed for an insanely low price so they can get a ring.
Haslem is a quality player. He will come off the bench to back up Bosh. He left $15 million on the table to sign with Miami.
Mike Miller is a pure shooter, exactly what the team needs.
Yea but they are starters that are taking a pay cut to sit on the bench for 3/4 of the game and win a free ring or 2.
I’m not saying they aren’t good, just that they will be forgotten behind the 3 stars and neither of them can play point or center to fill the gaps. Lebron and Wade are 40-45 minute guys and Bosh is a 35-40 minute guy. That leaves 29 minutes for them to split MAX per game. (unless someone gets injured)
from nba.com:
‘Zydrunas Ilgauskas is following LeBron James and taking his talents to South Beach’
That’s so good… we needed size. Juwan Howard is expected to sign too.
Eh, you can have Z… he is old and won’t put up more then 8points / 10 rebounds tops. Average sign when they could have easily gotten a much better player imo.
Boozer and D-Rose are coming for ya!
Haha yeah yeah… 
That’s all we need from ZI. We desperately needed size so Bosh can play power forward. Not many good free agent centers willing to sign for the minimum going around….
if bosh plays PF whats bron gonna play?
Lebron is a natural small forward. He never plays power forward.
Dirk re-signed with with Mavs. 4 years, $80 million.
He obviously isn’t interested in winning a ring in the next 4 years!
He is Dallas’ all time leading scorer and rebounder. Maybe he wants to really cement those records?
