Heat sign Ronny Turiaf

[novocaine]

The Miami Heat's search for size, namely proven, NBA-tested, NBA-ready size has led them to free-agent center Ronny Turiaf. Dealt at last week's NBA trading deadline from the Washington Wizards to the Denver Nuggets, Turiaf was released in time by the Nuggets to be playoff eligible to another team's roster.

[HylianNightmare]

Won't help

[niko]

He'll help a little, but chances are two weeks from now he's hurt and out.

[O_City_Thunder]

He's a banger ain't he?

[donald_trump]

well, hes better than joel anthony isnt he?

they really need to find someone who can stretch the floor and play solid man defense in that role.

[bagelred]

Was it for the minimum?

[kurple]

I never understood why so many hate on Joel Anthony

[305Baller]

He's a banger ain't he?

That's what I want to know...

[DuMa]

oh yay, another undersized center for miami!

[305Baller]

Ideally they need someone who can disrupt the interior and suck the bigs outside...


uh... no puns intended.

[All Net]

Good move

Kind of guy they could use.

:coleman:

Anthony isnt anything special, but he's a very good roleplayer.

You wont get Hakeem or Ben Wallace when 99% of your cap space is spent on the "big" 3

[Kingwillball]

Better than Nothing but Wonder if the HEat are Done or if they still try and add Hollins or Diaw..

[D-Wade316]

Meh. 3rd string center behind Pittman.

[pegasus]

well, hes better than joel anthony isnt he?

No. Just no.

I'd love for him to steal Anthony's minutes as a Bulls fan, but it ain't happening.

[EnoughSaid]

Just need seem toughness and hustle on the defensive end. That's it.

[Kingwillball]

Meh. 3rd string center behind Pittman.


2nd String in Front of Pittman.. Fixed

Evaluation of Joel Anthony:

Defense
Joel Anthony does alot of great things for the Heat. He's a fantastic help and team defender while a slightly above average man defender. But he struggles vs legit 7 footers. He's quick and quite mobile for his size. But he is undersized and doesn't have the strength to make up for his lack of size like some other undersized C's.

Offense
He has stone hands. He has bad handles (why would someone mention a C's handles you're thinking...maybe cuz it's that bad).

His stone hands prevent him from being a good option on easy penetration hand-offs by others. He has improved his touch around the basket quite a bit over the years so he can do more than just dunk. It's still at a level I would call non existent by NBA standards. This is a vast improvement over a couple seasons ago where 5 feet out his offensive game was non existent by high school standards.

Very accurate assessment. He has also improved his free throw shooting.

I said it before. Unless the Heat get someone like Howard, Chandler, Noah, Dalembert, their team defense will hurt more than their offense will gain by signing players like Turiaf, Hollins, or even Kaman.

[Faptastrophe]

Sweet, finally some rebounding.

So could any NYK or LAL fans tell me what should we expect out of him?
His stats don't say too much, but then again, neither does Anthony's and he's very important to us.

[nba_55]

I like the signing. He fits Spo s system on the defensive end. He is like Joel but taller. Offensively, he cant be worse than Joel. I hope we also sign Hollins.

[SwooshReturns]

Maybe Turiaf's great, lovable attitude and sideline cheer leading will help LeBron keep his confidence up in pressure filled moments.

[Lebron23]

Good signing by the Miami Heat. Good bye Michael Gladness.

[DonDadda59]

Good move

Kind of guy they could use.

Agreed. He's one of the better shotblockers in the league, can grab boards, and he brings energy and enthusiasm, plays his ass off in limited minutes. Great locker room presence too from what his past teammates say about him. I was sad to see him leave NY. Nice addition for Miami.

[Eric Cartman]

Not gonna give you much on the offensive end, but he is a damn good defender. Shot blocking is gonna be serviciable for you guys.

[Apogee]

Not gonna give you much on the offensive end, but he is a damn good defender. Shot blocking is gonna be serviciable for you guys.

This is exactly what we need. A banger and a big body to fill the paint

[strifed169]

Ronny is a great pickup for anybody if used right, he provides energy on and off the bench rofl, he's like an upgraded Joel Anthony with a personality

[LA_Showtime]

He is not that good, but he'll fit in perfectly with Miami's Big Three entourage.

[D-Wade316]

I really don't know his worth. But I think he'll do a fine job. If he plays like Joel, he might someday get the second spot over Pittman. 11.9trb%? Needs to improve that. That's barely over Joel's 10.9trb%. :lol

[Kingwillball]

HE will be in the Rotation from Jumpstreet my Dude..

[chazzy]

Joel Anthony 2.0

[Kingwillball]

Joel Anthony 2.0


Except a He is 2 or 3 inches taller with a little better offensive game..

[Nash]

Look, for any other teams this is a whatever signing. But Miami is a different type of team and having someone like Turiaf means more to them. You guys should just have watched the catastrophe that is Eddy Curry and Dexter Pittman yesterday. Those dudes have no idea what the hell is going on.

[pmj]

Some stats comparing Joel and Turiaf...

Offensive Reb. % / Defensive Rebound % / Block %
Joel: 9.7 / 12.2 / 5.8
Turiaf: 7.0 / 16.7 / 5.5

Per 36 stats:
Points / Rebounds / Assists / Blocks
Joel: 5.0 / 6.6 / 0.5 / 2.1
Turiaf: 10.5 / 7.6 / 3.1 / 2.7

IMO, Joel is better defensively, at least in regards to moving his feet and covering a lot of ground, which is important in the Heat's D. Turiaf is obviously better on offense (who isn't), slightly better with defense boards, and fairly equal as a shot blocker.

It's a perfect signing as a backup, b/c Pittman and Curry were awful, and you need at least one backup in case people get in foul trouble. Ideally, he can play 10-15, Joel 20+, Bosh/Haslem 10 at the C spot.

[Nash]

Best thing about this whole thing though is that it will be awesome to see Turiaf's reactions to the amazing plays by Lebron, Bosh and Wade.

"I'm so glad my Miami Heat signed Ronny Turiaf. You know why? Because it was for the minimum. Good job gettin' er done, Pat Riley!"

[InfiniteBaskets]

I'm happy about this signing. Turiaf is listed at 6'10 which is at least an inch taller than Joel. And Turiaf can finish easy dishes at the rim better than Joel can.

Joel/Turiaf/Pittman/Curry > Joel/Magloire/Dampier/Juwan Howard

But either way, the C will not be the reason the Heat win or lose games in the playoffs.

[bagelred]

Joel/Turiaf/Pittman/Curry



:wtf:

"Excuse me, Mr. Jerome James?........You have a call from a 'Pat Riley' on Line 1.....I'll watch your sandwich for you."

[swi7ch]

They need another scrambler up front so this is a nice pickup. He can also pick a fight with one of the other team's big guys to get them thrown out or suspended so that's another plus come playoff time.

[Salazaar]

Well, actually in the Playoffs it'll probably be Joel, Bosh, Turiaf sharing time at the C spot. Curry and Pittman are a walking disaster and should be kept off the floor if possible :rolleyes:

[InfiniteBaskets]

Well, actually in the Playoffs it'll probably be Joel, Bosh, Turiaf sharing time at the C spot. Curry and Pittman are a walking disaster and should be kept off the floor if possible :rolleyes:

I'm not comfortable with Bosh playing the center against teams where we're outsized against. Namely, the Bulls, Lakers, and possibly OKC. I'm fine with giving Bosh minutes against even above average rebounding teams at the center spot. But essentially all we need from Pittman and Curry is to box out and take up space on the defensive end. I don't mind playing them 4-8 mins a game against bigger teams.

[boozehound]

meh, dont really see it being a big help. Id rather have anthony or udonis on the court for those minutes down the stretch.

[boozehound]

Best thing about this whole thing though is that it will be awesome to see Turiaf's reactions to the amazing plays by Lebron, Bosh and Wade.
that is true. he will be a great towel waiver for such a stacked team.

[Faptastrophe]

Really?

C Anthony/Turiaf vs Anthony/Pittman or Curry.

Also I liked this point:


And Turiaf can finish easy dishes at the rim better than Joel can.
Anthony/Pittman/Curry quite often fail to score those easy points..

[LA_Showtime]

Joel Anthony 2.0

He and Joel Anthony have nothing in common. Anthony can actually play defense and rebound, whereas Turiaf's a hustle guy who's good for below-average rebounding and defense with a slightly better shot of scoring a bucket or two. Turiaf won't bring anything to the Heat they don't already have, at least on the basketball court.

[Clutch]

Turiaf is like injury prone Joel Anthony.

Anthony is an awful defensive rebounder, one of the worst in the L.

[pmj]

What don't you guys get about Turiaf being a replacement for Pittman and Curry, not for Joel? Turiaf will be needed for 5-10 minutes, and only a few more depending on the foul situation, that's all. The Heat don't need him to be the starter.

[StateOfMind12]

Turiaf and Anthony are pretty much the same players. Heat fans are excited that they now have another Joel Anthony backing up Joel Anthony oppose to Dexter Pittman? Is Pittman that bad?

[MELOgamaniac]

Sweet, finally some rebounding.

So could any NYK or LAL fans tell me what should we expect out of him?
His stats don't say too much, but then again, neither does Anthony's and he's very important to us.


He's gonna be great, he plays with intensity and hustle which goes good for the heat culture. he is not a offensive threat but he moves good in cuts and picks to the basket so he will put himself in great position for easy ones. He D's up and does not take stupid shots.

[Kurosawa0]

The truth is that he's an upgrade for Miami as a backup center. Anthony will still start. It's a decent move for Miami. They're not getting Chris Kaman.

[LA_Showtime]

Anthony is an awful defensive rebounder, one of the worst in the L.

I thought he was a solid defensive rebounder and an above-average offense rebounder? Maybe I was wrong?

[pmj]

I thought he was a solid defensive rebounder and an above-average offense rebounder? Maybe I was wrong?

Solid offensive rebounder, but awful defensive rebounder (career D rebound % is 10-12%). Heat get killed on the boards when he's in the game vs. good rebounding teams.

Not that Turiaf is some kind of great rebounder, but he is better than Joel at defensive rebounding, and he'd be a good backup.

[Salazaar]

I thought he was a solid defensive rebounder and an above-average offense rebounder? Maybe I was wrong?

He's an outstanding offensive rebounder and a decent defensive rebounder if he's not playing against a 7-1/7-2 center. His hustle and quickness make up for the lack of size. :pimp:

[QuebecBaller]

The Heat wanted a big man... and they signed a cheerleader

:facepalm

[bagelred]

Turiaf has a nice basketball IQ and plays with passion. He can be surprisingly good offensively.

The thing is, he's an awful rebounder. Well below average for his size.

[pegasus]

He's an outstanding offensive rebounder and a decent defensive rebounder if he's not playing against a 7-1/7-2 center. His hustle and quickness make up for the lack of size. :pimp:

This. His defensive rebound average is not impressive because Lebron jumps in and grabs the ball out of his hands a few times a game. Wade does it, too.

[Kurosawa0]

:facepalm

Who exactly should they have signed? There's not a whole lot of options for them.

[pmj]

He's been an awful defensive rebounder his whole career dude. He just is, I don't know why you can't get it.

[Human Error]

I never understood why so many hate on Joel Anthony
He sucks and is the worst starter in the league by a wide margin. If Turiaf can stay he is automatically a huge upgrade over Joel Anthony and Dexter Pittman.

[pegasus]

He's been an awful defensive rebounder his whole career dude. He just is, I don't know why you can't get it.

It's not his forte, but he is not horrible at it, either.

He wasn't the reason Miami lost to Dallas last year, and he won't be the reason if they lose again this year.

[Human Error]

I thought he was a solid defensive rebounder and an above-average offense rebounder? Maybe I was wrong?
You are so dead wrong. Anthony as a starting center is averaging 4 boards a game in 20 minutes a game which is pathetic. It is a miracle that the Heat are winning games with that dead weight manhandling the middle.

[Human Error]

It's not his forte, but he is not horrible at it, either.

He wasn't the reason Miami lost to Dallas last year, and he won't be the reason if they lose again this year.
Dont make me laugh. Had the Heat actually had a decent NBA starting center they would have won. They got killed on the glass and Chandler was toying with Anthony, of course I wish the big Joel well but I am sick of having him as our starter.

[pmj]

It's not his forte, but he is not horrible at it, either.

He wasn't the reason Miami lost to Dallas last year, and he won't be the reason if they lose again this year.

He really is man, look at the stats. He has basically the same rebounding stats and Ryan Hollins, who pretty much everyone agreed is horrible at rebounding too. That's actually one of the few other NBA players I've seen with rebounding stats as bad.

Either way, it's irrelevant to this thread, which is about Turiaf and him replacing Pittman and Curry.

[Doctor Rivers]

Turiaf is the second coming of Rodman

[Salazaar]

He sucks and is the worst starter in the league by a wide margin. If Turiaf can stay he is automatically a huge upgrade over Joel Anthony and Dexter Pittman.

Turiaf definitely won't start over Anthony, no chance... Anyway Joel is a much improved player this season...

[pegasus]

Turiaf definitely won't start over Anthony, no chance...

Then that lunatic will probably say "Spo sucks!", without realizing Spo is a defensive specialist who is much better equipped to assess talent.

[RaininTwos]

Why are people treating Turiaf like he's trash?

I don't look at the stats; I watch the games. I have probably watched every single Heat game since last year, and I find Anthony's game extremely annoying, because he does so many different things that help them win games. Defensive rebounding is not necessarily one of them, but there is more to the story than just saying "He sucks at it".

Agree to disagree.

[Owl]

I never understood why so many hate on Joel Anthony
Because his awfulness on offense is virtually unprescedented. He's had some of the lowest usage rates in history and still shoots a middling percentage for a center.
His career rebound percentage is 11.0 (an average player would be 10, an average center would be MUCH higher). He's actually been below that number the last two years. He's semi-adequate on the offensive boards if only because his man is helping on someone else, but terrible on the defensive boards. Miami could have gotten someone (Stiemsma) to do what he does (but better) for the minimum salary.
People hate on Anthony because he clogs up theh Heat's cap and isn't very good at all.

I'm excited for the Heat about acquiring Turiaf. He's a huge upgrade IF he's healthy. That's a giant if though. Have been surprised at the Heats inability to pick up bigs in the past (Murphy last year, Pryzbilla this) as the minutes are surely there. Maybe Turiaf solves it longterm. Maybe Oden does if he ever gets healthy (he's worth the risk, I mean it's a sight better than gambling on Eddy Curry).

[Human Error]

Then that lunatic will probably say "Spo sucks!", without realizing Spo is a defensive specialist who is much better equipped to assess talent.
Spo is not a good coach with limited creativity and no ability to draw offense. Anyway I think the Heat could get away with having Spo as a coach, but it will be be really tough to get away with having Joel Anthony as the best center on the team.

100% agree. I'm not jumping on anyone but people who claim he shouldn't even be getting minutes just prove how little they know about Heat basketball. Gotta watch the games, daily recaps and a monthly marquee game don't tell the whole story.

[G-train]

The Heat were practically a 5 min Dallas run from the NBA championship with Joel as the starter, and Lebron playing terribly.
According to the Heats stats (where basically every play is analysed on both ends) Joel is regularly in the top players, in that he scores the most points for plays made.
Joel is 6'8 but I would estimate his wingspan to be over 7 feet. He is a humble player that works harder and hustles harder than anyone else. He grabs available rebounds, but can be out muscled at times. Keeping in mind that Lebron/Wade/Bosh/haslem all rebound. He catches the ball and finishes when wide open, but can drop the ball when on the move or if there is some traffic.
Turiaf is a great performer of high difficulty blocks, like dunks at the rim. Joel gets lots of tip blocks and is a great blocker himself.
Joel defensive awareness and mobility is top 3 at the centre position IMO. His decision making and activity on D are brilliant. Not sure Turiaf matches that.
Back to the beginning of my post:
The Heat were practically a 5 min Dallas run from the NBA championship with Joel as the starter, and Lebron playing terribly.

[G-train]

Spo is not a good coach with limited creativity and no ability to draw offense. Anyway I think the Heat could get away with having Spo as a coach, but it will be be really tough to get away with having Joel Anthony as the best center on the team.

Spo has made the Finals as coach, with great defensive schemes which sometimes break down when certain players are rotating lazily, yes you LBJ and Wade. He deserves credit for the high post stuff he has implemented this season, keeping in mind he has to keep Lebron/Wade/Bosh involved and his best player cost him a ring last season due to not aggressively scoring despite plenty of usage available to him in those schemes.
Pat Riley feels he is doing a good job, and I agree with him.

[pmj]

Defensive rebounding is not necessarily one of them, but there is more to the story than just saying "He sucks at it".

Agree to disagree.

I've watched or been at every game in the last two years too (more actually). My view is simply that if you don't finish that great defense with a rebound, it's virtually irrelevant how good of defense you played.

On top of that, Lebron and Wade having to help rebound means we don't get to run as much, which hurts the team even more. I do appreciate what Joel brings though, I just view his weaknesses as huge. I can agree to disagree though.

[Nash]

Its a great pick. Curry and Pittman are pathetic, absolutely pathetic. They have no idea what the hell is going on. Curry is out of shape, doesn't know the Heat defense and a turnover risk. Pittman is just not a good basketball player at all. He has no place in the NBA.

[(e)]

Solid pickup for Miami. I don't think he provides them with much, but no doubt it's an upgrade over Pittman or Curry

[Kingwillball]

Thing is All Heat need is serviceable Centers to win if you gave them a top 10 type Center who can Rebound and play Defense AKA Chandler or Noah they would rarely ever lose..

"At least he's marginally better than Eddy Curry and Dexter Pittman". That's probably about as far of an assessment of what Ronny Turiaf will bring to the Heat as anything.

I think Turiaf is a good signing. They needed a better backup C and I think Turiaf will do a decent job for him. He's the kind of guy you'd want on your team regardless of how many minutes he's playing

[Lebron23]

Turiaf only played 4 games this season. I hope he's 100% healthy going into the playoffs.

[chips93]

he seems to keep a ton of balls alive on the offensive glass. so he is getting extra possessions for his team, but wont get any stat, the board usually gets credited to the person who secures it.

If he can play like he used to he can be key part for Heat championship. He was much better player than Joel back in day.

:kobe:

I like the signing. Even if he isn't much of an upgrade over Joel, he does have fresh legs, which may help a lot too in this short season.

Centers historically struggle to rebound in Miami's defensive schemes, but Turiaf is a guy that enjoys the game and I like the pick up.

This. He does that all the time, and it's near impossible to stop the Heat two possessions in a row.
What the hell? Then take Joel Anthony and give us Omer Asik if you really think Joel Anthony is a good NBA starting center who does all the little things that help the team. Anthony is the worst starting center in the league by a wide margin and it shows if you watch the games or if you watch the stats.

[BlueandGold]

He's a banger ain't he?
Not really, he has his moments but he's more of a energy big-man off the bench. Will hustle for short bursts or maybe an entire game but nowhere near consistent NBA starter level, or even consistent NBA bench player level. He was mostly deep in the Laker rotations, and that was when Bynum was hurt for the majority of 08.

for years i couldnt tell if turiaf or maxiell was the same guy

Lebron didn't go far in the Finals. It got to a point where Wade was already declared FMVP if the Heat would've won. Our Centers did a decent job though.


If our Centers would have grabbed more defensive rebound we would have easily won in the finals, but Chandler kept giving DAL 2, 3, & even 4 offensive possessions almost every time they missed a shot.
We would play great defense only to let them get the offensive board.

That & Terry/Burea kept getting in the paint cause our wing players had to help rebound/defend the paint to help our inept Centers & leaving DAL perimeter players wide open.

Why are there so many posts saying Turiaf will help with rebounds. He isn't good on the boards at all.

He's a very good shot blocker though...perfectly timed block on a Kobe dunk attempt -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0KRGPhHVHA

I think it was like the 8th or 9th spot in the top 10 that evening. Would have been number one if that was Dwight blocking Kobe.

Offensively he has a decent jumper. Probably better inside game than Joel too.

In all, not a bad signing but probably won't make the Heat that much better.

Defensively Joel is amazing but offensively its like Miami are playing 4 on 5. He's clueless in offense and there has been so many times where a pass to a wide open Joel would have bailed them out but the dude has no idea how to put that ball in the basket.

I like it! A lot! Dude's got heart, great hustle player. I'd start him over Joel, no doubt.

Be honest, how many of you agrees with his post? Isn't there an obvious name missing from it? I'm not gonna name names, but perhaps someone having the largest drop-off in PPG from the regular season to the NBA finals in the NBA history and his all-around passiveness had something to do with their defeat, no??

And I'm just :lol at Chandler giving them not 1, not 2, not 3, sometimes 4 offensive possessions every time they missed a shot. You'd think that he averaged 15-20 offensive rebounds a game.

Chandler averaged four offensive rebounds per game in that series, which is pretty good; but Anthony, who played fewer minutes, averaged two a game. Two additional rebounds per game made "you-know-who" Marion/Terry/Barea's bitch?:roll:

It was a factor, but not the biggest. Chandler had 9 offensive rebounds (16 total) in a 3 point Game 4 win.

Obviously the biggest factor was Lebron ineffectiveness scoring, really the Heat as a whole inability to close the games out, but specifically in that game only scoring 8 points.

I'm guessing he was trying to say if we had adequate center play it would have overcame the other "problems" the Heat had.

You are right, he did have 9 in that game, but Joel had 5. And in game 3, Chandler had 7, and Anthony had 4, but Miami won. So, as you said, Dallas' offensive rebounding was not the biggest factor at all.

That's all I wanted to point out. He can't just blame it all on the centers, and not mention Lebron's name once.

[pmj]

That's all I wanted to point out. He can't just blame it all on the centers, and not mention Lebron's name once.

I feel like I can make a compelling argument for other factors: center play, Spo's lack of ability to coach offense or adjust, lack of shooters against a zone (Jones/Miller injured, Bibby's corpse), and I also hated the officiating in Game 4. But ultimately you expect superstars to find a way to break through, and he didn't, didn't even play up to his averages at that. I cringe every time I hear the Heat announcers talk about Lebron's current, longest-in-the-NBA streak of like 400+ games in double figures (obviously they are talking reg season), that just makes that 8 point game 4 even worse.

[Stern]

Heat already have the warden then why sign another big?

Wade dropped the ball late in games, too, and Bosh didn't play as well as he did in the previous series, but Lebron was by far the biggest reason why they lost. He has another chance this year, so his "fans" should be focusing on that, instead of trying to rewrite what happened last year.

The officiating was bad in game 4, but I think it was in favor of Miami. IIRC, the refs seemed to be on Dallas' side in game 3, which was won by Miami, and the exact opposite happened in game 4, which was won by Dallas. I remember people saying how ironic that was.

And I thought Miller was actually healthy and hitting his shots in that series.:confusedshrug:

Miami still won that game, and the officiating went back to normal in the next game (meaning it was in favor of Miami), but then Dallas won that one. I don't recall anyone complaining about the officiating in the last two games.

Overall, I don't think the referees affected the outcome of that series, at all.
