1. MAMA WE DID IT

   THE EAST GOES THROUGH SOUTH BEACH

   *let me cope*

2. Is he good?

3. Whale acquired 😤

4. Coming off the worst season of his career. Oh well

5. who needs demar derozan

6. He was considered one of the worst players on a disaster Pistons team during that losing streak.

   He went to the Knicks and had a ridiculously poor regular season in limited minutes.

   But in the playoffs, with NY hurt to hell against Indiana, he honestly did pretty great as a spark plug scorer who hadn’t played meaningful minutes in over 2 months.

   **Final Verdict:** I doubt he plays much at all with us. This feels Moe Harkless-tier rather than anybody who’s actually gonna get consistent minutes for us.

7. ”WE DID SOMETHING” hang the banner

8. Niceeeeee another Knicks free agent!
   Ya remember Mo Harkless?”

   😑

9. Pack it up ladies and gentlemen, we got our whale

10. Clearly he’s gonna be mid all season til he just randomly decides to drop 40 on the Celtics

11. At least this will end the Klutch nonsense that Heat twitter loves to spread.

12. You know they get Donovan Mitchell but we get Alec Burks 😤

13. 

    We back baby!

14. Surely either Duncan or Herro has to be on their way out with this signing.

15. Vet min shooter, meh not amazing but I’ll take it. We’ve been fortunate to be able to utilize guys in roles where shooting may be their only or main strength, Babbitt, Ellington, Duncan etc. I don’t know that he’ll play a ton, but he should be able to provide some spacing and spot mins at the least.

16. Caleb Martin replacement

17. Pat Riley after signing his “whale”

18. That’s 6 guards we have….. and still no Point guard

19. He actually did really well in the playoffs last year

20. https://preview.redd.it/n9g9ht3z7dad1.jpeg?width=591&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d80f0b04e148d7e488e9209d9ab39bee1402a986

    We going all the way

21. Herro, Duncan, Burks, Larssen, Richardson….. yeah Herro or Duncan is surely about to get shipped out.

    This smells of “the deal before the deal”

22. When given minutes, this man can score. It’s about all he can do but for a team with an anemic bench on the offensive tip, it’s not bad.

23. Actually a good pickup for a vet minimum better than delon wright, patty mills, Cole swider, Alondes Williams this guy can actually score and get hot in the playoffs

25. If there’s one thing the team needed, it’s yet another streaky SG

26. Pat lives!

28. Pat said “HAHA Now you can’t say we ran it back” 🫵
