Patty Mills signs with Heat: Ethan Skolnick takes five

Hey SK for five on the floor and the Five Reasons YouTube channel and this is the latest take five Patty Mills huh I remember 10 years ago Patty Mills was torching the heat for the Spurs in a playoff series we always joke that the heat circle around to anybody that

They’ve had interest in before or anybody who’s given them problems in the past I just didn’t think it would be now at age 35 with Patty Mills so they’re bring in Mills to ostensibly be the third point guard he’d be behind Terry Rosier and D Wright and just to give you

A sense of the turnover the heat went to training camp with Kyle Lowry as their starter because he wanted to be Josh Richardson kind of playing point guard RJ Hampton and Drew Smith now Hampton’s gone he’s with Washington and a two-way Drew Smith is gone after injuring himself in Cleveland earlier this year

Remember how the floorboards came up on him Lowry of course is gone in a trade and is now with Philadelphia after a buyout and Josh Richardson is hurt so now that he’d have Terry Rosier dlan Wright and Patty Mills I think by any sense this is an upgrade there’s no

Question as an overall point guard unit I just don’t know what Mills has left you know he shot 38% from three in very limited action this season last with Atlanta so he can still shoot the three ball as far as staying in front of guys defensively or attacking the paint I’m

Not sure they’re going to be expecting to do a lot of that if he plays much at all but it’s an interesting move for a team that’s clearly gearing up for a playoff run and just wants to be fortified at every possible guard position that guard room is loaded right

Now we know not even with Tyler hero back at this point they’re having enough T enough trouble playing everybody so we’ll see where Mills gets some action or if he does it all but he’s known as a good locker room guy he’s been great in international competition and in the

Playoffs so he’s big in big moments and really with Drew Smith it was a limited upside project anyway and he’s hurt so you can always bring him back at some point into the future I know people are going to ask about Goran dragic I did feel that at one point that the Drew

Smith spot was going to be the Goran dragic spot but that ship has sailed uh they didn’t really show a lot of interest and Goron retired and now if you check out Goron’s IG he’s traveling around the country and the world and living his best life so it does look

Like at least NBA basketball is as Goron said behind him so Patty Mills with the Miami Heat got a lot of bad memories Heat fans do with that 2014 Finals we’ll see if Mills can provide some decent memories for the heat in uniform Ethan skolnick the latest take five here on
