WHOA?!? Mike Bibby Joins the Threesome: Welcome to South Beach!
Mike Bibby has joined the players revolution. He proves that a championship is more powerful then the almighty dollar. He gave up the 6.2 million left on his contract. This enabled him to agree to a buyout from the pitiful Wizardry. I’m not sure what is more impressive. The Mid East revolution for democracy or the players that are lining up to join the Heat.
All kidding aside if the ESPN rumormill is correct Mike Bibby puts Miami “over the top.” Any excuse to use Sly Stallone works for me. Bibby is a significant upgrade from Mario Chalmers. I realize Bibby is ancient but I have watched that man hit game winning shots time and time again. In a sense he reminds me of a poor man’s Derek Fisher.

The club will have to cut a player in order to bring Jeffries back and speculation is that Shelden Williams or Renaldo Balkman may end up being the odd man out. Both players came to New York from Denver in the trade that brought Carmelo Anthony to the Knicks. Cousin Paulie thinks that it would be a positive move for “MY BOYS” as Jeffries could spell Amar’e Stoudemire off the bench and possibly there could be times when both players would be on the floor at the same time.
Jeffries is now playing in his ninth NBA season and has career averages of 5.2 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. He was selected by the Wizards in the 2002 NBA Draft and played his first four seasons playing for Washington.
