Days into his hiring as the new Miami Heat GM, the Miami Heat GM delivers a star point guard to the franchise.
Former Trailblazers star Terry Porter was acquired recently in a 3 player deal involving Rony Seikaly and Sherman Douglas.
When asked about this deal, the Miami Heat GM had this to say:
"Traditionally, I favor guards to big men. And in this league where the parity between the top guards and the dregs are so wide, you need to scramble to get a good one. Terry Porter is one of those players. Great shot, great handles, great defense. Nothing more I can ask of him, and nothing more that I want."
"Rony and Sherman were good players, yes. But Terry Porter is just better. The added bonus to this deal is of course, Porter is only 26, and comes from a winning atmosphere. Anyone who plays with Clyde Drexler is bound to become very good; Drexler just elevates everyone around him."
"Of course, Terry and Glen will be the cornerstone of the Heat franchise for many years to come. They are young, with reasonable contracts, and have great potential. We will continue to build through the draft, to bring in quality guys to fill our franchise. Sooner or later, the Miami Heat will be a powerhouse and a team to be reckoned with."
"Right now, we are very busy scouting for the upcoming draft. There are many players that we are looking at. Vin Baker and Derrick Coleman are looking very promising, and have ensured themselves a spot at the Miami workouts before the draft."
