If Tyronn Lue worked at your office, he would be the guy who attends all the 401(k) meetings, files all his life insurance documents in a prompt manner, and takes advantage of all those little programs that your work offers but that you don't get involved in because you've got indoor soccer practice or whatever. Because the one thing you have to say for the guy is he's at least realistic about his situation, and looking to maximize what he has. After signing with the Mavericks last season in pursuit of a championship, Lue is in Miami tonight. He's there for Zo's Summer Groove. He told the Sun-Sentinels' Ira Winderman, though, that he's scheduled for a 5:30AM physical with the Heat. While the Heat say nothing is imminent, it would make a lot of sense. The Heat need a veteran point guard so that Dwyane Wade doesn't have to, and while Mario Chalmers' performance in Summer League play was impressive, you still want a veteran guy to limit turnovers.
Not only is Lue going to a team that could use him, but he's also apparently willing to sign for the lower-level exception. All told, this is pretty reasonable. It's kind of strange, with Phoenix and Boston both with interest in him, and both of those teams having much more of a chance at a championship. But Lue apparently sees a chance to play immediately, and there's something to be said for that. What, I'm not exactly sure. But something.
