UPDATE: McBob Signs With Heat

[PantherBrew]

I think we'll definitely bring in a vet to start now at PF, someone like Humphries maybe. We're going to miss McRoberts' passing ability big time.

Unless they think they can get Hayward

This also tells me that Bosh to rockets is as good as done.

I won't miss his below average 3-pt %, below average defense, below average rebounding, & non-existent post game.

He's a PF who's only great skill is passing the basketball. He's not that good.

Boooooooo!

Happy for him though, he deserves it.

He basically replaces battier

[GotSwag?]

I think we dodged a bullet with this one.  McRoberts was good for us, but with Zeller and Vonleh, we can spend that money elsewhere at a position of need.

He is better player right now then Battier.

Btw, has anyone read the ESPN comments for this? Those people are going off on the Heat. I feel kind of bad for McRoberts right now. Aside from the fact he's making 6 million a year.

[Chaos]

Good for him, good for the Hornets, fug the Heat.

 

Now sign somebody Cho, damn!

[carolina-chuck]

Vonleh!

[carolina-chuck]

Told ya he was gonna get $5-6 mil, not the $4 everyone wanted to believe.

McBob still throwing bows on the heat. Lol.

Not sure what to think of this.  I think that if it were me, I'd feel inclined to be loyal to the team that gave me an opportunity for a bigger contract in the first place.  However McBob is replaceable and signing him for 4 years would create a serious log jam at the PF position in seasons ahead.  I don't think McBob has illustrated the sort of long term consistency that warranted this contract.  Plus I think he's an awful shooter, despite his percentage.  Misses too many wide open 3's. 

 

I think we'll be fine and it may be an addition by subtraction.  

 

It also forces Kemba to show he can run an offense before his contract is up.

It was the right move for us considering the money. That being said, it wouldn't surprise me if we indeed offered more at the end and he chose Miami over Charlotte, simply because it's Miami.

 

seems your right 

 

"Adrian Wojnarowsk of Yahoo Sports reported Monday that Charlotte upped its offer to the full mid-level exception—roughly double what McRoberts was due to earn"

 

i personally would have liked McBob to resign but realistically i would only want him starting this year before hopefully zeller and vonleh develop. then paying $6m a year for a guy deep in the rotation wouldnt be worth it 

 

i cant see him being given the playing time and system to put up the numbers he has in charlotte (unless bosh doesn't resign and the heat are left with a scratch team next year). im glad he got paid though, seems like a decent guy

McRob a back stabbing bitch.You want to be here right? fug you
