Unless there is another vet out there that they can sign?

He was out of shape to start the season and hasn't played in a month so i'm guessing he will be a little heavy. He is a big offensive move up from Mahinmi but how important is that really? I just dont know that he is much of a factor as a 12 minute a game player in the playoffs. Plus the 2nd unit has Granger and Scola, both who dont mind shooting the ball so how will he mesh with them?

Miami's has issues with rebounding but they have for the last few years. I'd be concerned that Battier and Allen arent shooting well and are at the age where they might be slipping fast. Without spacing Miami's offense will have issues with Indiana size. Bosh has been shooting more 3's and hitting a pretty good % but he is also one of Miami's few consistent rebounders so you help one area while weakening another. You'd have to figure that Riley is going to whatever it takes to win this year as I'm sure he sees Wade's knees, Allen and Battiers struggles and the fact that the Big 3 can all opt out this offseason and understands that the window might be closing.
