Hope he succeeds.  Nice contract for him.

I'd say he is the one guy whom Brad couldn't figure out how to use well.

I'd say he was always destined to play overseas.  He has 2 years left on his rookie deal?  Then overseas, where he won't be drastically undersized and his lack of an offensive skillset won't matter.

Maybe they can bring back Gerald Green and just roll with our bench from last year.

Huge contract.  Good system to showcase his one NBA skill.

He was an upside gamble that didn't work out. Miami will give it a go and then he'll head to Europe

I think that I'd be another guy that Brad couldn't figure out how to use well.  I guess because I don't have NBA talent either.

Seriously though, Mickey is a decent shot blocker (career 3.1 BP-36 minutes).  He can shoot a mid-range shot, but he could have been legend with a 3-pointer.

That's a bit of a skewed statistic, considering he averaged 6.9 bp-36 in his rookie year (in a whopping 57 total minutes played), which fell to 1.5 in his second year, where he got to play 141 minutes.

His best ability (shot-blocking) is mediocre at best.

I saw that drop-off, but the minutes are so small in both seasons that I don't think it is really representative.  He has the shot-blocking skill if not the numbers.
