Great moves? He signs Omer Asik to a massive contract and then decides to run a pick and roll offense even though he's one of the clumsiest catchers in the game. He overpays for Jeremy Lin and then trades for James Harden, a guy who completely takes Lin's game away. They then sign Dwight Howard, a guy who bitches when he's not in the post who now has to play in a pick and roll offense.
Then, despite James Harden being a complete disaster on defense, they think the next big move is to add Melo who also sucks on defense. Despite the fact that Harden is notorious for holding onto the ball, they think Melo (another guy who holds onto the ball) is a good idea. Despite the fact that Howard was already getting whiny because of touches, they think it's a good idea to have two guys in Melo and Harden who hold onto the ball for an eternity.
The moves haven't made any sense. Bosh would have been an outstanding move. Ariza is a terrific move too. But let's not forget that the only reason they made those moves is by admitting a huge mistake in Lin and Asik who were both purged to make room for a big free agent they couldn't get, and that the only reason they would have gotten Bosh is because they didn't land Lebron or Melo.
