3 Reasons Trevor Ariza Great For Miami Heat: Ability To Give Jimmy A Break

For the Miami Heat, everything starts and stops with Jimmy Butler. That’s what everything is really all about.

Ability To Spell Or Take On Some Assignments From Jimmy

In the grand scheme of it all, Jimmy Butler tries to do everything for the Miami Heat, because he can. For example, not only does he score the ball at a high clip for the Miami Heat, rebound, and make plays passing the ball, but he defends his tail off every night.

In their most recent game against Orlando, Terrence Ross of the Magic began to do what he often does against Miami, transform into Prime T-Mac from deep mid-contest. Seeing that this could land the Heat defeated, Jimmy took on the assignment.

Needless to say, Ross proceeded to quickly cool off and the rest was history. In those situations and especially as the playoffs near though, guys like Ariza could help to serve to take some of that pressure off of Jimmy.

With a guy like Ariza to go along with guys like KZ Okpala and Andre Iguodala, the Miami Heat have quite a few guys capable of giving Jimmy that much needed break on the defensive end when he needs it. That’s the final reason that Ariza is a good fit.

He could be a key member of a rotation that would help to supremely take a load off of Jimmy’s shoulders at times. The Miami Heat need him as fresh as possible for the entirety of the rest of the year and the playoffs.

They go as he does. Trevor Ariza could make that a lot easier to accomplish, accomplish with great success, and for all the reasons mentioned.

That though, is why he would be a great addition to this team.
