A: Actually, I've been told by someone with solid sources that Spoelstra had requested depth at point guard and wanted the Heat to add someone at the position. So your supposition in that regard is correct. And it makes sense, because the Heat did struggle amid the Dragic and Udrih injuries. The only downside of the Birdman deal was having to cash in yet another second-round pick (I know the trade reads as two picks, but one likely will never be exercised, and if it is, it would be at the back end of the second round). That likely is what it took to get the deal done, but it continues a pattern of the Heat having to toss in second-rounders to shed salary, as was the case with the offloading of Zoran Dragic, Joel Anthony and Shabazz Napier before this Andersen deal. I think that's the only place to take issue.
