At the price, yes. But he's old and slow. But he averages more blocks than Bosh and Haslem combined for his career, but still not enough. And now Juwan Howard is rumored to finally coming to Miami (the Heat offered him a 100 million dollar contract in 96 to team him with Zo, but Stern said it bypassed the CBA so nixed it). So the Heat's front court is a soft center who wants to play power forward because he's too weak to guard 5s, Udonis Haslem who is too undersized to be effective, and two OLD dudes who are good for 15-20 minutes each. They still don't have a legit center who alters shots, rebounds and can defend the pick and roll.
I'm not hating on the Heat, but I'll never jump on the bandwagon either, I never have with anyone and never will, but the Heat don't have the two things that win titles. That being a big front court and a great D. Wade and LBJ are good perimeter defenders, but that's about it. Mike Miller, Z, Chalmers, Howard and Bosh are defensive liabilities more than they are helpers. I think the Heat win about 60 games and probably get the 1 seed, but I don't think they can beat the Celts or Bulls in a 7 game series, let alone who makes it out of the West. They wil lbe able to run up an impressive score, but so have the Suns for the past 5 years and what has that gotten them? Plus they've given up their next 4 first round picks and the cap drops by 14 million next season. They're not going to get any better than what they are now without decent vets making sacrifices to win a ring. I am excited to see how it works.
