Chapter 472 [Treat to Dinner, Core Role]
At the end of the preseason, Beverley was cut by the Heat. Heat management trusts veterans more than rookies. Beverley's personality is also unpleasant, he is a bit over-hot-blooded, provoking veterans in team training, and his rough defensive moves almost hurt his teammates.
And Deshawn was laid off? Butler, as a result, the Heat's 15-man roster for the new season is out.
This layoff means that the Heat's final roster includes center Joel? Anthony, Ilgoskas, Jamal? Mark Loyle, Dexter? Pittman, power forward Chris? Bosh, Judonis? Haslem and Juvan? Howard, small forward LeBron? James, James? Jones and Mike? Miller, shooting guard Dwayne? Wade, Jerry? Stackhouse, Eddie? House, point guard Mario? Chalmers, Carlos? Arroyo.
Butler was the Heat's second-round pick this year, but he was recovering from surgery because of a torn anterior cruciate ligament while representing West Virginia in the NCAA, and because of that, he did not play in the Heat's preseason games.
Beverley averaged six per game in six preseason games. 5 points 4. 5 rebounds and 3 assists, including two games as a starter. Although he was drafted on last year's draft night, Beverley played in the Greek league last season because he didn't get a chance.
This time, although Beverley signed a contract, he was unfortunately laid off.
"The number of people in the squad is up to the required number." Heat coach Eric? "I really want to keep these two guys who are still growing, especially guys like Patrick and DeSean." Their performance here has been phenomenal, with Patrick making significant progress in Europe and Butler, it's hard to judge as we haven't been able to get to see him play, but we really appreciate his mentality of wanting to win at university. ”
Although Butler has been recovering from surgery, the Heat originally wanted to keep him, but Mike? Miller underwent surgery for a thumb injury and needed to be out for half a season, so the Heat had no choice but to sign Stackhouse to put out the fire, so the Heat would have no place for Butler.
After Beverley was cut, he quickly joined the Knicks, which attracted media attention.
The entire Knicks uniform team admired Zhou Xuan's vision, and the ending was exactly as he expected, Beverley earned a buyout fee, and the Knicks picked up the bargain for nothing, and everyone was happy.
Several fringe players who played in the preseason for the Knicks were also cut, and at this point, the Knicks' fourteen-man roster was officially released.
