Eddie House signs with Miami Heat

[jaydacris]

[QUOTE]After completing the greatest free-agent coup in NBA history, Miami Heat president Pat Riley continues to surround Dwyane Wade(notes), LeBron James(notes) and Chris Bosh(notes) with strong complementary talent.

The Heat have reached an agreement with 32-year-old guard Eddie House(notes) on a two-year contract for $2.8 million, his agent, Mark Bartelstein, told Yahoo! Sports on Thursday. The second year of the deal is a player option for $1.4 million.

Miami beat out the Chicago Bulls to get House. With a history of clutch shooting that includes multiple big games with the Boston Celtics over the past three years, House will help support Miami

you gotta be kidding lol

go Riley

[DuMa]

what a team they got

[OnceInADECADE]

good move for the heat. Eddie House is a very good shooter.

[Real Men Wear Green]

Good for EH. And on a side note, the concept of a "salary cap" is now officially an urban legend.

[bagelred]

Woo Hoo!!!! Eddie House to the Heat!!!! That means he won't return to the Knicks. Yeah, baby.:rockon:






Eddie House sucks.

yeh yeh

Lemme guess Lebron sucks also?:applause:

[ChuckOakley]

What's funny is, even w/o LBJ and Bosh, this is probably a better team than last year.

Chalmers / Arroyo
Wade / House
M.Miller / J.Jones
Haslem / J.Howard
Ilguaskas / J.Anthony / Magloire

[BFRESH44]

Pat Riley's daughter can whip out her "Free House" shirt again. :lol

Damn though, Patrick James Riley. :bowdown:

[YouGotServed]

Excellent signing by the Heat, that's just what they needed. Someone who can shoot the ball off the double teams. :applause:

[Se]

jayadicris (sp?) beat you by 1 minute.

[bagelred]

yeh yeh

Lemme guess Lebron sucks also?:applause:

Nope. Just Eddie House. Got a look at him for 20 games or so. He sucks.

[Apocalyptic0n3]

For a guy that will see 10 minutes a night, this isn't a bad pickup for the Heat.

[ihatetimthomas]

Eddie House will be a nice addition. He is a guy with a ton of experience and a proven performer on a team with a lot of talent. His range will be of huge use for the heat and he brings championship experience. Win win situation for both sides

[3zazer1]

And the heat just get better......
yay :c

[Se]

So with the signing of House and possibly McGrady the Heat roster for training camp is:
CT: Ilgauskas/ Anthony/ Magloire/ Pittman
PF: Bosh/ Haslem/ Howard/ Randolph/ Varnado
SF: James/ Miller/ Jones/ Butler
SG: Wade/ McGrady/ House
PG: Chalmers/ Arroyo/ Hasbrouck

Varnado, Butler & (insert name here) will be cut. My guess is Hasbrouck.

[Real Men Wear Green]

Nope. Just Eddie House. Got a look at him for 20 games or so. He sucks.
He can hit open jumpshots. That's all the Heat will need from him. He "sucks" for you because your sucky team needed (and still needs) a shitload more than he can provide. If he just has to provide some shooting in a limited role you're fine.

[ihatetimthomas]

Nope. Just Eddie House. Got a look at him for 20 games or so. He sucks.
Players like him need great players around him to be fully utilized. We saw what playing for the celtics did for his game. He benefited a lot playing with the talent he played for. Gets him more open looks. He is not the same player as he was back then but streaky shooters generally struggle on weaker teams

[3zazer1]

[QUOTE=Se

[King Lebron LBJ]

Great signing, another role player who can shoot the ball. Perfect for Miami's system. The bench depth isn't bad at all.

[Se]

Magrady probally wont sign in miami. Why would he want to anyway? He wants to prove to everyone he still has it, but in MIA he'll just be a second rate bench player thats pretty much a spare wheel.

He doesn't have many other options. He wants to play for a winner.

[Desperado]

:applause:

They finally made a good signing outside of getting Bosh+Lebron.

Honestly the rest of they guys they broght in are old and at the tail end of their career but now they have 15 players on the roster and if House got a max deal then they won't be able to sign anyone else to a max contract.

[King Lebron LBJ]

Lakerlove 420 and crisoner must be afraid now. :rockon:

[HylianNightmare]

wow, they got house for pennies, whats the depth chart look like for them now?

[MeLO MvP 15]

Called this a while ago.... perfect fit in Miami, he could see a lot of minutes b/c with Wade and LeBron they don't need a PG, they just need someone to be a good shooter

[Kurosawa0]

That's damn nice. Eddie House was one of the first guys I thought the Heat should target. Sure, he's streaky, but when he's hot...

One thing he'll do, along with Miller, is make playing a zone against Miami much tougher.

[King Lebron LBJ]

It's going to be crazy the amount of open looks House, Miller and Jones will get off the bench.

[fazzazz1k]

Woo Hoo!!!! Eddie House to the Heat!!!! That means he won't return to the Knicks. Yeah, baby.:rockon:






Eddie House sucks.


Sniff, Sniff.... I smell a Hater! :roll: :cheers: for Da HEAT!!!!!

[Attahualpa]

Good signing Pat! Welcome Back Eddie! House for Threeeee!!!

[Snoop_Cat]

Nice addition. The fail will be even greater now.

I think teams will still try to play zone, hoping that it'll work. It won't, but they'll have to try.

[King Lebron LBJ]

I think teams will still try to play zone, hoping that it'll work. It won't, but they'll have to try.

True but at least Miami has other options such as these guys who can come in and stop zone being played.

[King Lebron LBJ]

team has some depth

Considering what Miami had to spend this summer to get pieces around the big 3 they have done a great job.

[Kurosawa0]

True but at least Miami has other options such as these guys who can come in and stop zone being played.

I think adding House does change that now. To have just Miller and James Jones wasn't really that threatening, but to add another career 40% three point shooter is a bit of a game changer in terms of that strategy.

phenomenal job, lots of good roleplayers taking less to get a shot a ring.
must be nice

Does make you wonder over the next few years who they can get if they have the MLE. Granted that depends on the rules after the possible lockout.

[JohnnySic]

As a Celtics fan I got to watch House for 2.5 seasons.

When his shot was falling, it was a thing of beauty and it seemed like he couldn't miss.

But when his shot was off, he completely sucked. Definitive "feast or famine" player.

[Kurosawa0]

I didn't think about that, but it's certainly true.

[ImmortalD24]

F*ck. Thats a Lakers killer right there.. makes Fisher his *****.


Celtics losing House and Posey was HUGE.. people don't talk about House, but his impact is underrated.

One of those players who not always consistant. Still as a bench player for the playoffs he did some good things in Boston. He gave L.A some problems in the finals.

[jasonresno]

"Strong complementary players"?

Wat?

[niko]

no, but eddie house sucks. if he's hitting, he's great. if he's not, he's awful and he keeps shooting, keeps shooting, totally disrupts the offense.

What makes you think he stays on the floor if he's not hitting? Face it, this is a good pickup and certainly makes Miami a better team.

Eddie House was a significant role player on a championship team. He was on the floor more during the Celtics' 2008 game four comeback against the Lakers than Rondo was.

All his role is going to be is to catch and shoot, that's it. If he's not hitting, they take him out and sub him with Wade, Arroyo, Miller, Chalmers, LeBron etc. House is going to be far more of a positive to this team than a negative.

To me, to pretend that this is somehow a bad deal is wishful thinking. This changes how you can defend the team.

[YouGotServed]

Eddie House is not great, we all know that...but Eddie House doesn't "suck" like you said does. He's one of the deadliest shooters in the league, and that will be his role with the Heat. The most important thing is that he doesn't need the ball to be effective, he fits with Miami.

[LAClipsFan33]

If I'm Eddie House I'm shooting 500 3's a day starting today

[King Lebron LBJ]

Thats what Niko has been doing since Miami got Lebron. Doesn't really matter. Miami are signing players who are perfect fits in terms of building around the big 3. They aren't superstars but they will play a role and do it well.

Last year he "sucked". For the Knicks he "sucked". In his career, he has had better moments. The Eddie House you are talking about did not exist last year, and he is getting older. If he is the Eddie House of a few years ago, yes - he is a very good acquisition.

Last year he was 10% hot, 90% cold. And when he was cold, he was forcing the action far far more than he used to. He wasn't good.

i said mike miller was a good acquision. i said haslem was good. i know you've only been a basketball fan since the day they acquired Lebron, but the recent acquisions for minimum money - there is a reason no one has offered these people more money. Because they are marginal talents, or they are older than dirt.

Say what you want about these players but they will be good role players for Miami. You are in denial if you think otherwise. You are just coming off as bitter right now. Their life will be made so much more easier with open looks that they will get. If they were being depended on getting their own shots then yes they would be average but they are players who will be spotting up and getting good looks.

[niko]

I see.

Yes, i am biased because i don't think Eddie House is an earth shattering signing.

[niko]

You are just being a homer. we talked about if Miami could win a title, show me where i said no. Never happened. You want every single comment about the Heat to be positive.

Eddie House last year, the 2nd half of the year, was absolutely awful. AWFUL. Let's be honest - you didn't watch him, you practically joined this board the day lebron was acquired.

Does anyone remember King Lebron posting prior to the Heat getting Lebron?

[YouGotServed]

All Eddie House needs to do is be prepared to shoot, spot up shooter. I doubt his age will affect his shooting skills. He's a career 40% shooter, his shooting is the only reason he's still in the league.

The thing is that these guys aren't going to be asked to do that much. Miami doesn't need a guy to score 20 off the bench. They just need to rebound, defend and hit the open shot. Plenty of the players Miami has gotten can do that.

That doesn't make them good players. Read the threads about the players Miami has acquired, they are the second coming of jesus. These guys are marginal role players. They are "decent".

And again, i said the heat could win the title and even probably should be favored in the other thread. I missed the compliments on my objectivity. Thus, don't give me shit now that I don't think Eddie House, who had no suitors, getting signed is this huge deal.:no:

[King Lebron LBJ]

[niko]

Dude, you became this regular poster the moment Lebron got signed. You post more than the regular Heat fans. Don't act like this isn't true.

[GOBB]

Tmac aint going to Miami. I will paypay everyone in this thread $20 if he does. Also Eddie House a great signing? How? Or is this just a classic case of Miami could sign any erractic shooter and its a win? They could have signed Jon Scheyer and it would be excellant. They could Hubert Davis out of retirement and it would be a fantastic signing. I cant recall the last time Eddie House was actually contributing. Not a bad signing but the roster is getting cluttered with "names" whom you probably liked 2 years ago if not on video games.

[boozehound]

yeh yeh

Lemme guess Lebron sucks also?:applause:
hes right though. House's only skill is a spot up 3 and hes a 39% shooter on them. Not a bad signing, but dude is like boobie gibson with even worse handles.

[boozehound]

Thank you. I understand the Heat will be great, and some of these guys will be asked to do nothing, and will excel at that, but it doesn't mean every player on the heat is fantastic. And i think the fact he fell off so quick last year is a bad sign, his shooting was horrific.

[DouXer4ouR]

Team is stacked, Heat will own the Eastern Conference for next 4 years.

[0000000]

Shit. As a Laker fan, this guy scares me. He can flat out shoot. Heat are for real, no doubt. We"ll get em though!

[GOBB]

You think about it Boobie Gibson is a good example here. What did he do in the playoffs last year? What did he do last season? There was a time where Boobie Gibson name generated a buzz. Then there was a time where the only time his name was relevant was when K.Cole was involved. This is a guy who can shoot the 3 ball and is young. He's the type of player you put around Lebron James. A player who can spot up and shoot. Yet I bet some people forgot dude played for the cavs "Was he injured for the entire season or something?". I like a reliable, dependable player vs a player who lives off a rep when in reality recently they havent really done the job that people are applauding "This is all they have to do :bowdown: :applause: "..

yeah, boobie coasted on that rep from the pistons series his rookie year for several years.

Same thing with house, he has a rep as a clutch 3 baller (which is partly deserved and partly perception) that doesnt really fit with the reality of him as a player.

[niko]

I think of it this way, a real quality pickup to me is someone that you know (barring injury or some unforseen event) will contribute this season. Not one person Miami has got outside of Miller and Haslem can you say that about. Not one of those guys can you say 100%, when the playoffs start, this guy will be in our rotation and contributing. (I don't mean marginally, i mean as a regular rotation guy).

They are ok pickups. They are good in that they might be the best of the flotsam, but they are not fantastic kick ass players. That's a huge exaggeration.

[Kurosawa0]

hes right though. House's only skill is a spot up 3 and hes a 39% shooter on them. Not a bad signing, but dude is like boobie gibson with even worse handles.

The thing is Miami doesn't need Eddie House to be anymore than what he is. Some people on here really seem to miss the point that this team is going to have the best trio in the league, without question. They're going to have arugably the two top players in the game and a 22 and 10 big. They just need players that can contribute a three pointer here or an offensive rebound there. They've done a pretty good job at getting those guys and Eddie House is a very nice pickup considering the team's needs and the price.

Stop lying, until he was traded to the knicks he was still knocking the 3 pt shot. Dantoni system sucks. All this guy has to do is just hit the open 3 pt. Keep defense honest, wade and lebron will take care of the rest

Duncan and Hakeem showed you can win with "flotsam". Bottom line is that the Heat have solid contributors in every position and 3 great players as their core. Of course players will have to show up in the playoffs but to act like Miami just has a "meh" lineup is ridiculous. They have enough talent to win the ship. As is the case with ALL teams, whether all of those pieces will get it done remains to be seen.

hes a 39% 3pt shooter for his career. How am I lying?

[AMISTILLILL]

House was one of my favorite players of the last couple of seasons. I was sad to see him leave in the trade for Robinson (though I've taken to Nate extraordinarily well after his playoffs performance) and was hopeful he'd find himself in a great situation soon. Sure enough, he lands on one of the most talked about teams in the league and is poised to bring the same skillset to Miami's Big Three that served him so well in Boston.

This guy is a sparkplug off the bench and an extremely spirited locker room presence. If the egos start to fly I want a guy like House on board keeping young guys levelheaded. You could be up 15 or down 20 and House would still be trying to get guys pumped on the bench.

Though I don't necessarily agree with the sentiment of this being some game changing signing for Miami I still feel that it's a quality one. Of the shooters still on the market House is the cream of the crop, despite his spotty shooting. When he's lights out he is the epitome of LIGHTS OUT. Miami's ambition was to surround their key players with shooters and, so far, they're doing a good job.

[inclinerator]

If I'm Eddie House I'm shooting 500 3's a day starting today
any three point shooter should already be doing that if not more

[Eldrunko247]

Shit. As a Laker fan, this guy scares me. He can flat out shoot. Heat are for real, no doubt. We"ll get em though!
That's all he can do but Lakers are too stupid to defend him well.

I've said they have enough talent the whole time (to win a title). I've actually said it several times in this thread. I just don't think House is this huge acquisition.

Do Heat fans understand not everything they do will be praised to the heavens? Is this due to having so many new fans or something?

Of course with the limited spending restrictions that Miami has, it's difficult to get anyone who's a "real quality pickup". Those guys make significantly more money in the league. However, you can surely acknowledge that Miami pretty much filled up the remaining space as well as they could, and if you compare their bench to other benches, it's one of the better ones in the league. Open your eyes.

[sixerfan3511]

f*ck Eddie House and f*ck Miami. Horse $hit

[fazzazz1k]

Niko - Eddie is in the HOUSE :djparty :party:

[Ketchup]

On a team with three all-stars, who can all penetrate with ease, a spot up shooter who shoots three's at 39% is a bad pickup.


I almost forgot I was on ISH. Then I read this.

[Kujo]

Perimeter, 3 point shooting is no longer an issue for the Heat. Miller, and House are deadly. Even James Jones can knock them down.

Lebron
Bosh

Play a 1-3-1 and have Lebron be the primary ballhandler. :rockon: :rockon:

Are you stupid? Even Coach K in an interview said yesterday that he thinks Miami's defense will be absolutely stellar. On the olympic team, Wade Bron and Bosh were his best defensive lineup.

Plus, UD and Joel are very servicable defenders as well. I think Chalmers has a high ankle sprain and is currently recovering, but his motor will definetly start running once training camp begins. He had a poor season last year but he's very young, and is a proven winner from his Kansas days anyway. This shows he has the mentality of a winner and will try to improve as much as he can to help the team.

[Kujo]

Yes, question is, does that make them a lock for the championship this year?

No. I'll say that they're a lock for at 60 wins, and a trip to the Eastern Conference finals. They "should" get to the finals, but I'm not saying they'll win it all. I could see them loosing to Boston in the playoffs, or the Lakers in the finals.

This shows he has the mentality of a winner and will try to improve as much as he can to help the team.
That's your argument? Coach K's opinion? :oldlol:

The defense is horrible. They have no lockdown defenders on the perimeter or in the paint. They have a shotblocker in Joel but his bad play on offense will give him no playing time at all. Wade and James a pretty bad defenders themselves, apart from playing passing lanes and the occasional block ofcourse. Bosh is a disgusting defender, no explanation needed. Chalmers is an overrated defender. Ask any heat fan, boy can't stay infront of a parked car. Arroyo, Haslem and Howard are exceptions, f*ck maybe even House here. For their ages ofcourse.


Overall, it's a horrible defensive team. A magnificent offensive team though.

[boozehound]

On a team with three all-stars, who can all penetrate with ease, a spot up shooter who shoots three's at 39% is a bad pickup.


I almost forgot I was on ISH. Then I read this.
I havent seen anyone say its a bad pickup, just that its not a home run like others are making it out to be. Its a decent signing for them. Nothing more. How much time will he even see on the floor?

Like I said, I'm confident that Chalmers will wake up and get his act together. One instance of bad defense that I think most Heat fans are talking about is that one buzzer beater alley oop layup to Rondo that Chalmers allowed. That one hurt, just because in the previous play Dwade stripped Allen and dunked it with like 1 second left in the game.

But you must be completely ignorant if you think Lebron, Dwade, and Bosh are slouches defensively. I think someone like Coach K has more credibility with his opinion about these guys than some internet random like yourself. :facepalm

[raptorfan_dr07]

Last year he "sucked". For the Knicks he "sucked". In his career, he has had better moments. The Eddie House you are talking about did not exist last year, and he is getting older. If he is the Eddie House of a few years ago, yes - he is a very good acquisition.

Last year he was 10% hot, 90% cold. And when he was cold, he was forcing the action far far more than he used to. He wasn't good.

Please read the following post RMWG wrote that's in response to another Knick fan. That's all you need to know.


He can hit open jumpshots. That's all the Heat will need from him. He "sucks" for you because your sucky team needed (and still needs) a shitload more than he can provide. If he just has to provide some shooting in a limited role you're fine.

[Ketchup]

I thought when you call player trash that equals a bad pickup.

"Miami got eddie house"

"Dude sucks"

That is not a co-sign on the move.

Anyways, he didnt get a lot of time in Boston, except for garbage time. Remember, he played in Game 4 because they were down by 23.(2008) Not because he was a key cog in their championship machine.

Just because he doesnt play a lot doesnt mean that he wont be effective. He can come in and knock down a couple threes right off the bench and if he cant hit, he can be put back on the bench, no problem.

This is a good pickup.

Not a fair stat at all.

There are guys that continually get moved at trade deadline because of their value, not their ineptitude or lack of skill.

He just needed to find the right situation, one similar to Boston and he has found it here.

[hoopops]

Pick Your Poison.

This is a great signing. They can start House as both Wade and Lebron can both play point guard or Lebron can be the point forward. And when Eddie House is in the bench they can have M. Miller play SG giving them one good shooter whenever Lebron and Wade are playing together.

And when one of the big three is in the bench they can have House and Miller both on the court with either Wade SG and Lebron PF or Wage SG - Bosh PF, or L. James SF - Bosh PF. With either Wade or James in the court they have a great passer and if both are off the court, either their losing or they killing the other team in the score board.

PG- Wade
SG- House
SF- James

Anyway you put it, it looks scary. As long as they stay healthy they'll dominate teams. Three really good three point shooters with two of the best defenders in the league, Wade and James.

[1~Gibson~1]

i cant believe some people actually think it's a bad move :lol

he'll be another spot up shooter to use and Miami will love him. i never really followed the Suns/Celtics that much so i dont know alot about his defense, but his offense/spot up shooting off the bench will be loved/needed.

i'd love for Eddie + Mike Miller to have a game of 3pt shootout during an actual game :lol

[BallsOut]

Even Coach K in an interview said yesterday that he thinks Miami's defense will be absolutely stellar. On the olympic team, Wade Bron and Bosh were his best defensive lineup.


Except Coach K never said his best defensive lineup included Wade Bron and Bosh. You just made that up. If you actually watched the 2008 olympics like the rest of us, you would've seen Kobe, Prince and Howard as the main members of their best defensive lineup.

There's a reason that the olympic team with Wade, LeBron and Bosh lost in the 2004 olympics and didn't win until Kobe, Jason Kidd and co arrived in 2008.

that shit is ridiculous. first, most of his moves have been during the offseason. only in 04-05 and last year was he moved during the season.



and, yeah, theres a reason why barnes hasnt stuck anywhere either. both dudes are end of rotation guys. Barnes at least has size and plays D.

Lets put it this way, would you rather have wade, lebron, miller on the floor or wade lebron house? Id rather the first by a long shot. and dont try the house is a pg, cause hes not. miller handles it way better than him and is much more versatile and a better defender.

2:53 on. Not explicitely his best, but clearly good enough to warrant pretty significant praise.

[Ketchup]

True, but he's not bad pickup at all.

They are getting the guy for pennies and like you said, Miller can handle the ball, Wade can handle it, Bron can handle it. This is the right situation for him. He's already played in Miami, and will fit in nicely. All he has to do is play average D, and shoot the rock. NOTHING else. He will have an even smaller role than he did in Boston, he will be fine.

yeah, he will fit and its a decent signing. But Id rather see them use that roster spot on some size. Realistically, hes behind both chalmers and arroyo on the depth chart and miller at the 2. I think you try and get a josh boone or kwame brown for 2.8

No. The "homers", which you are so quick to categorize, merely responded to claims the guy "sucks" and is "absolutely horrible".

Niko, Bagelred, and Desperado said he "sucks". Sure, he may have changed his mind and posted something different later, but you'll see that the majority of the posters responded to that claim. Nobody here asserted that he's some phenomal player (let me invoke my own hyperbole use here), but once certain inordinate claims were made, the expected responses took place.

And furthermore, what makes the last 3 pages any more relevant to the topic of this thread than the first 4?

[YouGotServed]

That I recall, balgered and niko were two who said House sucks. He's a contributor off the bench, that's what he does. House has proven he can be a decent guy off the bench, and comparing him to Boobie is just laughable. House was solid for several seasons with the Celtics.

[lacasner]

So why did you claim that miami fans were overrating his value? Because, judging by your arbitrary cut off, that was not occuring after the claims that he "sucks" dissapeared.

The claims that "he can knock down the open 3, he'll get a ton of open shots" can surely be percieved as true. I mean, if teams elect not to double team Lebron or Wade, how will they guard them? If teams decide not to rotate over and help on Bosh, how will they account for his 24ppg scoring potential?

These are simple, connected thoughts that people on this board seem to want to deliberately ignore.

to be fair, both of those guys are knicks fans and he did suck, terribly, for them last year. something like 25% 3pt shooting.

yeah, I dont disagree. However, it firmly cements him (IMO alright? jeesh) as an end of bench guy who has one solid skill set (shooting 3s) and is a liability in other aspects (can handle the rock, below average to poor D). Which is fine on a stacked roster, but its also why he's moved so much. hes easily replaceable. Hes boobie gibson with worse handles.

[Micku]

wtf???

How did he do that?

They gonna make the fourth quarter of the 2010 NBA finals look like cup cakes all right. Whistle, free throw, foul trouble, no call, etc..

[Jasper]

I expected this ,, he was on my short list for them.
He will play along side D-Wade.

Not as much as an offensive PG , but as a SG while on 'D" he will play against the PG.

If Heat ever get to the finals , he will be matched up against Blake.

[SinJackal]

THANK GOD.

Now the Bulls won't be stupid and sign that overrated scrub. He's far worse than Mason, and far shorter.

Yes, personally i can't tell you what he did for Boston last year. I remember him from the prior year and he was decent. I remember him from Phoenix way back and he was nasty. But last year, not only was he not hitting the open shot, he was playing as if he couldn't give two flying shits there were 4 other people on the court.

So if he was super kick ass with boston then bad on me but he reeked with NY. But, am i wrong? Even at his best is he anything better than a guy you play with the hopes that once in five games he gets hot and makes an impact? A 5th guard type?

Per 36 he averaged 4 assists and 4 rebounds and 1.2 steals with the Knicks. Not as one dimensional as you may seem. Sure he is not a world beater but he is a great pick up for the min.

It's not a great signing at all. It's not a good one either. They don't need House. They already have backups PG/SG/SF/PF. They needed proper 7footers so really this is really worthless. But House is in no way a scrub either.

House for the most part all he does well is shoot and hustle. dont ask him to bring the ball up court or rebound or make plays for others and he will do fine in a limited bench role.

Chalmers/Aroyo/House

Bosh/Haslem/Howard
Anthony/Z/Pittman/Magloire

DAYUM......I was hopin he would sign with the Bulls.....

[brooks_thompson]

they can have 17 until training camp begins.

and i severely underestimated their ability to get anybody useful past mike miller (although jury's still out if he will be as effective as hoped). ilgauskus, howard, magloire, and arroyo were par for the course, but house is a great player to have, and i figured he'd get around 3 million/year to bomb 3s off the bench for a crappy team.

They will Use House as the Backup PG/SG and will Use Miller as Backup SG/SF. The Heat Can Use Lineups of Lebron at PF at times and Bosh at Center and have Wade,Miller and House playing the one two and THree position..That would be there most dangerous offensive lineup. 2 Superstars with and Great Low Post Player and two Snipers who can Knock down open shots in case U think about Doubling Lebron or Wade or even Bosh.

[TheCorporation]

People are giving Riley too much credit.

Great signing by the Miami Heat. House is a good playoffs performer.

GTFOH!

Mitch Kupchak is the GOAT GM.

Even Lakers haters will admit it.

Need is a strong word

they have room for one more guaranteed deal, but it might end up going to Desean Butler.

Chalmers/Arroyo/House
Wade/Miller
Bron/J.Jones
Bosh/Haslem/J.Howard
Big Z/J.Anthony/J.Magloire/D.Pittman

Thats 14 players. Wade/Bron/Bosh are gonna play atleast 34mpg. Where is this "defensive swing" gonna get time? Matter of fact is this defensive swing even gonna make the 12 man roster? Like I said, no need.

Those who watched the Raptors last season know that Bosh was much more nasty and tough around the basket.
which is why every raptors fan will tell you that borderline nba player amir johnson was by far their best bigman defender? Me thinks you are the one who didnt watch many raptors games last year.
