Yeah but this is YEARS ago I'm not gonna judge him or Curry based off of shit that happened awhile ago.
Now if Kwame was bobbling passes in charlotte or Detroit then maybe I would have to sit back and go hmmm but even so, the Heat's Center spot was a revolving door last season. Brown is the better center out of magloire,Ilgauskas,Dampier, Pittman, and offensively Joel anthony so gettin kwame wont hurt us imo

Analysis: Heat appear set at 14 of 15 roster spots
by: Ira Winderman December 9th, 2011 | 12:10 PM
Why change a good thing?
Why indeed.
“There’s going to be some stability there,” James Jones said Friday morning shortly after he agreed to return as a free agent, following a similar decision by Heat free-agent point guard Mario Chalmers.
Take Jamaal Magloire, Erick Dampier and Zydrunas Ilgauskas out of the picture (they hardly were in the picture at the end of last season) and remove Mike Bibby, as well (after he removed himself with his playoff play), and the Heat largely resemble the group that came up two victories shy of a 2011 championship.
The new pieces? Free-agent bargain Shane Battier, free-agent longshot hope Eddy Curry, and first-round pick Norris Cole.
It could be argued that 14 of the Heat’s 15 2011-12 roster spots already are accounted for before the first ball hits the training-camp court.
No, this is not football, so there are no camp depth charts.
But this is how we see it:
Centers (3): Joel Anthony, Eddy Curry, Dexter Pittman.
Power forwards (3): Chris Bosh, Udonis Haslem, Juwan Howard.
Small forwards (3): LeBron James, Shane Battier, James Jones.
Shooting guards (3): Dwyane Wade, Mike Miller, Eddie House.
Point guards (2): Mario Chalmers, Norris Cole.
That leaves one roster spot open, which seemingly would make an amnesty cut at point guard the perfect fit, if the likes of a Chauncey Billups or a Baron Davis could slip through the secondary-waiver process of teams operating below the salary cap.
Add one of those, and this roster stands up against any in the NBA.
Of course, even without one of those, it still compares favorably to anything going.

Fuck they worrying about a PG for, a pg serves no purpose in that offense and Wade,Lebron, and Battier can guard the 1 if they have to. They need to address that center position asap, that lack of size and athleticism hurt them in the Finals last year. They are gonna need that size up front playing against Noah,Amare,Garnet,Howard,etc.
stringer bell;3869926 said:they got past all those niggas last year.. KG is year older.. Bosh played him well last year.. Amare plays no D & Anoti is still the knicks coach.. Joel & healthy Haslem can match Noah's energy just like they did last year.. also the Heat do a good job as team dealing w/ Howard imo...

G Mackin' It;3880067 said:lol@blaming it on bron......i see heat fans still cant accept the fact that the mavs where just the better team and had the better coach
MIA need a C who can provide some offensive spark and PG who can handle and shot is a must so they could take the ball handling duties off lebron and wade.......other than that theres no real need to worry considering it takes years for teams to gel and they made it all the way too the ship in year one.....
