The Miami Heat will be without at least one big from this season entering next season. Boogie would be an upgrade there.

Lastly for me, with the fact that we probably won’t bring Meyers Leonard back, we will lose what he brings. With Kelly Olynyk in tow as well, it’s a luxury to have bigs who you don’t mind taking the deep shot.

Not only does that help you on the scoreboard but the guy defending them, often a big who is capable of deterring shots at the rim, has to go with them out on the perimeter to defend those shots. That theoretically means easier looks for the Heat.

Not only is Boogie capable of knocking down the long ball as well, but he gives you everything else that Meyers Leonard didn’t give you. He is a complete offensive big, who’s size and girth help account for his overall defensive deficiencies.

Look, the man has averaged 10.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.2 blocks per game across his career. I tend to believe we can make great usage out of such ability.

It’s pretty plain and simple here. We need help there and he’s available. Besides, the Miami Heat own a Bi-annual exception of around $3,623,000.

Sounds like the perfect type of thing to offer a guy that is looking to be compensated decently, which he should be, but also a shot to prove he’s still got it with a contender. Get it done Pat, please?

We know you like to dance, as we saw with you and the greatest Miami Heat player ever, Dwyane Wade, as you all were dressed like extras from an Aladdin film. So, now let’s see if you can Boogie.
