Bibby is the very poor man's Derek Fisher. He will give some good minutes with a dash of scoring although he cannot play defense to save his soul. Remember how Brandon Jennings last year in the playoffs took Bibby to the woodshed each game. Bibby could not keep up for a seven-game series. There is a reason the Atlanta Hawks got rid of Bibby for Kirk Hinrich. You have to think if Bibby was good enough, the playoff bound Hawks will keep him for the remainder of the season. This is such a point guard driven league, which makes Bibby sticks out like snorlax wearing Baby Gap. He cannot guard Rajon Rondo or Derrick Rose, that's a huge problem even with guys like Dwyane Wade and LeBron on his side. Bibby will likely be put on a player who is bigger than him, or the Heat will have to play a zone. This solves no problems for the so-called Heatles. They will have to make unnecessary adjustments in every game.
To me, this is a panic move. The Heat know they missed out on getting a good role player at point guard during the offseason. They did not even need a guy who will start on most of the NBA rosters, rather a guy to distribute to Wade, LeBron, and Chris Bosh at a high level plus play some defense. Bibby will get the ball to the Big 3, but he will suffer a lot of the blame when it comes to concerns about the Heat's defense.
