Ugh, there goes JRich. Wonder how much it was for.

Oh, that is nice. He returns home to the team that developed him. I like Josh Richardson more than I like Max Strus. This is an upgrade for Miami.

Another wing to make life hell on JB’s lackluster ball handling, too.

Just make brown go left

[Who]

Josh Richardson could start at PG for Miami. Replace G Vincent as the defensive PG.

G - Josh Richardson, K Lowry
G - T Herro, Oladipo / D Robinson
F - Jimmy Butler, C Martin

Solid perimeter rotation despite the losses of Strus and G Vincent. I don't think Miami have lost anything here.

The big issue for them will continue to be that other forward slot. Can they get Bam Adebayo some big man help? Can they can a quick forward with real size to play alongside Jimmy and/or C Martin? And can they get a backup center to play when Bam rests?

Oladepo coming off two major injuries
Lowry is going to get bought out

That roster is just not very good

[PAOBoston]

I’m eh on the Richardson deal. I think he’s fairly overrated by Cs fans. Miami gonna lose both Vincent and Strus. That’s a lot of shooting.

[jpotter33]

How the hell does Perk still have a job?

[goCeltics]

Unless the Rockets love Grant can not see him getting beyond mle money in that case I except him to stay.

Herb Jones only got 4 years 54 million.

[celticinorlando]

Brad will just sit tight and roll with what he has.

[radiohead]

I wonder what’s keeping JB’s extension. KP had his resolved quickly.

[Roy H.]

Richardson took the minimum.
