6'10" 235 ur-FA, and 28, yeah, I'm sure he is on the list of poeple the Heat are looking into.

I hope so. Always liked his intensity in

Seattle. Kind of a cheaper Nene (Nuggets) but similar playing style.

Wilcox is nowhere close to Nene...

he has 0 post game and isnt good enough of a defender/ rebounder to make up for it. That is why he doesnt even get mins on the Pistons…

No...

he has always been one of those players who only look good coming off the bus. He has physical tools, but has never played well. I mean, he barely plays on the Pistons. What do the Pistons need most? A big man that plays D and rebounds. So. there is our answer right there. He isnt a good defender and isnt a great rebounder, I would much rather have Dalembert (who is also bigger). He is more of a PF anyway…

Fair enough.

But what about trying to persuade Tayshaun Prince to play in Miami? Perhaps pushing Miller to the bench?

Again...

I would say no. Just because it would cost the MLE and as far as I am concerned that should by used on an upgrade in the middle. If Prince would, for some reason, accept the min, I would gladly sign him. However, to me, a backup wing is not as important to this team as a starting center. Plus, Miller is more than good enough to backup both wing positions (and James Jones is a solid enough 3rd stringer). He will prove that once again when he is healthy next year.
