The Heat plan to guarantee swingman Rodney McGruder‘s $1.5MM contract for next season, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
The guaranteed kicks in if he’s on the roster through Saturday.
McGruder played 78 games during the 2016/17 season, in which he averaged 6.4 PPG, 3.3 RPG and 1.6 APG. He was limited to 18 games last season due to a stress fracture in his left tibia. He averaged 5.1 PPG upon his return.
Obviously. Him being back should be a significant impact. I didnt get why he didnt see more minutes, but maybe it had to do with bringing him back slowly, considering he wasnt even supposed to be able to make it back during the season.
Yeah… no. He was a summer league castaway a few years ago. He’s a poor man’s Josh Richardson and isn’t nearly as good of a scorer as JR. Idk why they like him
He ain’t doing much with his minutes, don’t see much point in keeping him, but because he is cheap, his best asset.
Neither of you have ever seen him play
I’ve seen him play. I watch every heat game. He’s trash. He’s a 12th man.
