Well he should help the defense although defense isn’t really a problem for Miami. He’s been dreadfully inefficient this year and really he only has had one year where he played like a star, so I’m not super excited for this if Miami is giving him a star amount of shots. If he has a smaller role he should be fine but I don’t want him taking a lot of shots until he proves he can be efficient.

He shouldn't be taking more shots than Jimmy and Bam, also gotta share with Bjelica and Herro.

Crazy to think Rockets were 3-1 w/ Dipo + Wall + Wood all playing in the same game. Team was really good. Injuries just killed them. Sad, really.

I wonder what the lineup looks like?
Oladipo at PG?
Either way, Pat is a BOSS!

who did they beat? Home? Away? Wall and Oladipo haven't been healthy for a long time so it was expected

Dude had one great year and people think he’s still that player.

Oladipo gets a try out in Miami to play with Jimmy.
At this point Nunn is probably a better player.

Olynyk actually isn't total trash but he reached his celiing in Miami and is a solid bench player with an inconsistent shot. 7th or 8th man.
Bradley is too injury prone.
Olynyk is an underrated defender but his shot has been off this year which has really hurt his game. Usually he’s a good role player but not this year so far.

The Houston Rockets managed to turn James Harden in Kelly Olynyk, Avery Bradley and Dante Exum. That’s some seriously dark alchemy shit they’re performing down in H-Town.

After watching some highlights of Oladipo I am now thinking he is a level above Nunn, even in his post-injury form. Time will tell but Miami's roster is stacked with good perimeter guys.
None of which can make a shot lately.

I think Oladipo is just plain more explosive than any of Dragić, Nunn, or Herro, and he's a better defender than all 3 too.
He's definitely a value add and will make the HEAT better. I just wish they would have had more time before the deadline to plug their need for a stretch 4 if they knew they were getting Oladipo. Jaymychal Green would have been an excellent target now that Gordon, Porter Jr., and Millsap will all be in the rotation ahead of him.

They should keep an eye on the situation if he's good but bodied out of the rotation. I am not familiar with him.

Even during their playoff series he wanted to come to the heat being extra friendly with them during losses. Slap in the face to his teammates back then but atleast he got what he wanted.

Oladipo has had grave injuries in his career. You should much they have diminished hin.

Green is a gritty PF/SF, shooting over 40% from 3PT. Not eye popping numbers but just like Crowder is exactly what Miami could use. Maybe Miami is sold Ariza & Iggy are enough, but I'm not.

I didn't mean explosive as far as athleticism. I meant explosive in volume scoring. He can easily have multiple 25+ point games for the HEAT while the other 3 not as confident they can.
Miami just needs to manage his shot selection. But Oladipo's last 10 games he has shooting splits of 44/37/82 with 26 PPG. Maybe trending in the right direction at the right time.
