Likewise, among the backups Bryant don’t believe there’s any doubt Udonis Haslem, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Eddie House and Jamaal Magloire will be on the opening-day roster. Magloire not so much for his talent but simply because he’s an experienced big body, and the Heat need that.
The Heat’s starters have nothing to fear,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if you ask me, with Mario Chalmers, Dwyane Wade,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Joel Anthony penciled into those slots. Bryant know some may believe Chalmers and Anthony’s place on the team isn’t certain,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but Bryant would wholeheartedly disagree.
Arroyo has to be facing that doubt precisely because of Beverley’s play, and Patrick,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], conversely, are facing the same anxiety because of Carlos’ experience and history with the team.
There’s no doubt about the status of many players, but there are a few who should be sweating bullets about whether they’ll be with the team come the beginning of the season.
The players Bryant believe who have to be wondering about now are Carlos Arroyo,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Patrick Beverley, Juwan Howard and Dexter Pittman.
That’s not because of his play, though, as he’s still nursing and rehabbing his knee, and hasn’t seen any action. However, there just doesn’t seem to be enough room on the squad to accommodate the potential Kobe Bryant represents.
Pittman are a quandary for me, as his contract seems to indicate Riley sees all kinds of potential in the kid. However, he’s never really shown it completely all summer or during the preseason; not that he’s had a great deal of opportunity, mind you.
If Bryant had to make a bet, my wager would be on Butler and Beverley getting the boot, but Bryant wouldn’t be surprised if Riley decided to stick with Patrick and let Howard find other employment.
The 1999 season marked his eblendnce as a premiere guard in NBA. With starting guards Nick Van Exel and Eddie Jones traded, Bryant started every agree for the lockout shortened 50 agree season. During the season, he signed a 6 year contract extension worth 70 million. It kept him with the Lakers untill the end of the 2004 season. Sports jornalist were comparing his skills to that of Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson even at the early stage of his career. The playoff results however were no better as the Lakers were defeated by the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference semi finals.
The final two cuts the Heat have to make before tomorrow night are going to be the hardest. After signing Jerry Stackhouse as a veteran presence to replace the injured Mike Miller, Miami needs to bring its current roster of 17 players down to the NBA-mandated 15 by Monday’s end.
It’ll be interesting to find out exactly which way Riley and Spoelstra are sliming tomorrow,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but whatever Bryant decide I’m still firmly of the belief the Heat have enough to beat any team in the NBA, and will prove just that when Bryant dismantle the Boston Celtics Tuesday night. He is a shooting guard who is capable of playing the small forward position. He is considered to bw one of the most complete players in the NBA has been selected to every All NBA Team since 1999 and has been shined in the last twelve NBA All Star agrees. Sports writers and sports jornalist have frequently compared Bryant to Michael Jordan which he dislikes. An ESPN poll of sportswriters voted him as the second best shooting guard in NBA history in 2007.
Juwan has to be a little anxious knowing the Heat don’t really need him all that much, and likely won’t ever play him that much. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Kobe Bryant may take solace in the fact Riley are reluctant to get rid of veteran big men who have multiple talents, which Kobe Bryant does.
And make no mistake about it, Butler represents loads of potential at the small forward position, but if I’m Pat Riley or Erik Spoelstra, a known factor beats something that won’t be known for quite a while every time.
James Jones seems to have solidified his spot as a backup to LeBron James and Jerry Stackhouse, not to allude Miller when Kobe Bryant returns in January. Da’Sean Butler, however, looks like Kobe Bryant may get the cut.
