Built Ford Tough Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 MIAMI — The Miami Heat reached the NBA's 15-player roster limit Monday, by releasing rookie guards Patrick Beverley and Da'Sean Butler. The cuts mean the final roster will include centers Joel Anthony, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Jamaal Magloire and Dexter Pittman, power forwards Chris Bosh, Udonis Haslem and Juwan Howard, small forwards LeBron James, James Jones and Mike Miller, shooting guards Dwyane Wade, Jerry Stackhouse and Eddie House and point guards Mario Chalmers and Carlos Arroyo. Beverly and Butler are eligible to sign with any team, with the heat no longer holding their rights. Each received a sizeable guarantee for each of the next two seasons http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-heat/sfl-miami-heat-2010-roster-102510,0,2332868.story Butler wasn't going to make the team considering his injury and the recent signing of Stackhouse solidified that. I don't know much about Beverley aside from the fact that he played pesky defense.. It probably came down to him or a veteran big like Magloire and they opted for the experience. I wonder what the Heat would've done with had Miller not gotten injured, though. If Miller didn't get injured, they probably wouldn't have brought Stackhouse in which would've meant that only one cut was required. Would they have cut Butler or Beverley? It wouldn't surprise me if they have some sort of under the table agreement with Butler that they will bring him back next season once he recovers and is fully healthy.

Built Ford Tough Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 is Wade good to go tomorrow night? I believe so. I haven't heard anything saying that he won't play tomorrow and I've seen quite a few articles saying that he will be in the starting lineup, such as this from Rotoworld: Dwyane Wade said "it is going to take a little while" to get all the way back from his hamstring injury, but he will start Tuesday's game vs. Boston."The biggest thing is I'm healthy," said Wade, who missed virtually all of preseason with the injury. His scoring and assists will probably drop this year, but fantasy owners are hoping that he compensates with efficiency and http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/playerbreakingnews.asp?sport=NBA&id=931&line=141094&spln=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clutch Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 no way they would cut butler if miller never got injured, and if it wasnt for magloire's loyalty factor and the fact that riley said "you can never have enough big men" butler would still be on the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
