A: Your observation is correct. And that's the risk of paying a player for past service. It's a concern with the way the Heat brought back both Chris Andersen and Udonis Haslem. Yes, loyalty goes a long way with this franchise, but this also is what happens when the plan is to take care of a player down the line for previous financial sacrifice. Birdman was the Heat's lone option for rim deterrence against Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan on Thursday night, and that clearly did not work very well against the Clippers. It will be interesting to see if the Heat try to pace Andersen in a bid to keep him fresh for the games when he is needed most. The reality is there are many questions with the Heat's power rotation, from Haslem and Andersen, to exact what Justin Hamilton actually can provide.
