Pat is Awake!
Finally
Low expectations for him, but this is definitely a much better move than overpaying with a first or two for some mediocre 4s on the trade deadline. If he can give us a much upgraded on offense Meyers Leonard from the bubble year for 20mpg, he’ll be very helpful
League fucked

Not making any trades sucks, but this is undoubtedly the best move we could’ve made in the buyout market. So that leaves us with 1 roster spot, correct?
A player that, not only is over 6’5, but was drafted????? Someone needs to check on the mental health of the Heat front office because something isn’t right
Lets get him another ring!
Finally something good.
This is a huge get, realistically a perfect fit next to bam. Lets see what this dude has left in his tank
Great move. Question is, does he start over Caleb or come off the bench?
Yaaaaay
We signed someone! Conference beware.
I’m legit lowkey excited for this. We finally got someone with some actual size and a reputation for rebounding and despite having a down year from 3 thus far, he’ll be one of the best shooters on the team.
We’ll quickly find out if he just needed a new spot + motivation or if he’s actually a bit washed (which honestly, even if he is, he’ll still probably be an improvement over what we got)
#LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Hip Hip Horray!!!
This is the most Heat kind of signing ever lol
I am perfectly ok with this. He will help us I think. We desperately needed a big. He might be injured but I TRUST SPO!!
PAT GETS HIS GUY
[yes!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmL-47bMyjY)

EVERYONE GET IN HERE
PRAYING HIS FINGER IS HEALED!
In some sense Dedmon + 2nd for Love… could be worse after giving the bad deal
Bam finally has a real pf playing next to him
FUCKING W
Pat Riley does the evil genius move once again!
WE GOT OUR WHALEEEE

I’m honestly cool not using assets at deadline if this is the outcome. Idk what more we would’ve gotten and would have little chance to upgrade in the summer when Lowry is expiring if we lose what little we have. Still annoyed about strus but I understand them not wanting to get worse for a couple seconds if it would piss off bam and Jimmy (at least I get it to some degree).
Oh man, is it 2012?
He’s averaging more rebounds than brook Lopez this year, if you’re wondering

If his shooting can improve a bit closer to what he usually does we’re in business. A big who you can run post action, pass, shoot, someone who can run pop with Jimmy….
People trashing Riley in the match thread. Here you fucking go. This is Pat Riley. No touches with no service, but when he does get it, it’s done.
Good news on Love. Idk why we’re signing Cody Zeller though?
LET’S GOOO!
We finally got a Power Forward with size that can shoot!!
Man if he can just shoot. He will leapfrog Joe Johnson as best buyout guy in Heat History
This adds much needed size better than having Caleb Martin as the 4 was always a terrible idea.
Grande leche
We all know what happened the a last time a cavs player signed with us 😏
Cavs fan here.
Be good to him.
