My thoughts on Struss is that he works because he fits the Heat's style and culture... they have like 87 guys that play this way
I think you sign him to a big deal, his contract will look exactly the same as THJ's or EF's or any of the other flawed players our various management regimes swung and missed on. I do like that he's more two way, that said, anyone think he'd have played better defense on Jimmy Buckets than Grimes? Anyone comfortable giving some of Quickley's minutes to Struss?
I'm a PASS on Struss

100%. I'd extend that out to the other Heat role players currently playing well.
Struss, Martin, Vincent... they play hard and it pays off when everyone is buying in. Heat came into the post season laser focused. Not counting on this intensity during the regular season. They're all shooting above their regular season %s right now too.
Someone's going to have buyer's remorse, and I really hope it's Miami. Add more Duncan Robinsons to their bench and payroll!
I think guys like Straus could end up looking really shitty on another team. I think Spoelstra and the cHeat 'culture' gets a lot of credit for the success of these type of players.
Plus I'd honestly prefer to keep letting Grimes play and develop.
I am having a tough time thinking of a player (other than Lebron) who left the Heat and played as well or better in their next gig
that said, if we're looking at Heat i would be focusing on robinson. He has elite shot. Struss nothing is elite other than his fit with Heat
