Finally.
I suppose they waited until New Year's so that all the other GMs who would normally be lining up to claim him will be too hung over to put in a claim.
The first time I saw him play was the game the Heat played against OKC at the Dome in 2011, and my impression was that he was a huge player with way below average skating skills. Nothing about that assessment has changed in the last 3 years.
With Wideman coming back, they won't be calling someone up now, but I'd like to see Wotherspoon or Ramage get the next call-up.
