that is without a doubt the best signing outside of their big 3... outside shooter who is fearless and has delivered in big games... his overall game isn't much to speak of, but i would bet money he will do more in the playoffs than Mike Miller...

that's a good move...

Hey Boys,

I thought the Heat reached their max roster size a few weeks ago? Besides, where are they getting all this extra money to pay players? I saw Miller sign for $5 million a year, and isnt the cap in the $55 million range?

I know there is a luxury tax, but I thought the Heat dont want to go there which is why the big 3 took less money each.

i think max roster size is 15... not sure exactly where they are at with it... you might have been counting all 3 of their rookies, but i think they only signed one of those guys, and will dump the other two...

but the way the salary cap works is like this... you could sign 5 guys (for example) for huge contracts, that take up your entire cap space... but you are still at that point allowed to fill out your roster with minimum salary guys... so technically it allows you to go over the salary cap...

at least i am pretty sure it works that way... anyone can feel free to correct me if i have that wrong...

Eddie House sucks balls. He'll be a good cheerleader at the end of the bench.

And umm GFY Miami!

Still not a Lebron or Bosh fans, but love Pat Riley from his Laker days. This is a great move. Eddie House can flat out shoot. With the looks he might get in Miami, this move makes lots of sense. Well done, Riley!
