Miami Heat Regular Season Thread 21-22 Vol. 3

[eddieheatfan]

Do you think he will be a better player than Wade when it’s all said and done?

again, time will tell. i will say that he will be close to this man right here

Chill Eddie!!

Dipo got next for 6th man of the year.

Dipo's contract expires this season and I think he's playing for a a big contract since he turned down a 112mil/4yr deal and a 45mil/2yr deal.

We've also gotta keep future tax implications in mind because Herro's contract is due after next season.

Best case scenario is that he doesn't get to showcase that he's truly back and takes another 1yr min deal.

Its not even on the verge of being realistic to see him if healthy take another 1 year min deal. Even if he just shows up on the playoffs he will get paid. Ideally he would like to say here but its not like we are some family to him, this is business plain and simple.

It's tough to think that some team will offer MORE than that amount of money he turned down.

With that said, he might be humble enough this time around to take a (significantly) smaller deal.

I think one package the Heat could offer is to S&T Dipo and package him with Duncan to a Western contender in return for an expiring contract(s) or trade exemption. This could involve a 3rd team who would take on that contender's assets to help us get the matching expiring contracts / trade exemption.

It's one way to get out of Duncan's contract while making use of an asset that we stand to lose.

He only just got back on the court after heartbreaking reinjury last season. Suffering through mental anguish, doubts & fear. Miami has been long known to be his preferred destination. He loves it here. Furthermore it was our docs that detected his operation wasn't done properly & then we were able to fix it allowing him to finally feel the same way pre-injuries. Fairly certain he would have immense appreciation for our organization. Moreover Dipo is still yet to get into playing condition & rhythm. His still yet to show what his capable of & cld very well get back to his former all-star self. Now we're trading him You cats are f*ckin (Please Use More Appropriate Word)

Yea if Dipo knows he's going somewhere else and agrees to a sign and trade he can get more $$$

Glad our resident Cap Expert is here to shed light on we manage to re-sign Herro and Dipo to 25-30mil/yr contracts while staying under the tax and not unloading Duncan Robinson.

Or do you seriously believe that team's are going to be jumping at the chance to take Duncan Robinson's contract off our hands for free?

Looking forward to your clown take.

What's that? You don't have a fcking clue as to how we keep both Herro and Dipo at such huge salaries while keeping Duncan Robinson and staying under the tax?

That's what I thought. Next time just stfu instead of looking to start problems.

lol I think it's well known that I'm not a cap guy. I've only stated it several times every season.

If idiots like you had your way players like Herro & Duncan wld already be gone from this team, inspite of us top of the east, for players that won't even move the needle. Rather than thinking you're smarter than what you really are, consider that Miami will find a way to retain key players for this team moving forward. We always have. I will LMAO if Duncan is still on this roster nxt season.

Do what you do best....keep crying over Spo

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Duncan will be gone, lmao at Dipo getting 25-30M. If he plays that well we might as well ship out Lowry to clear way for the younger player

[greg4012]

The Miami Heat have not taken on the Oladipo reclamation project just to squander opportunity for value. The Heat has better information on Oladipo than anyone else on the market.

Oladipo has scored a total of 20 points through 3 games to date, the Heat have 13 regular season games remaining, and are the deepest team in the NBA. Half the talk about Oladipo on here is figuring out where he's going to find the minutes this season.

I think he can be a plus contributor this season/postseason in some capacity. Oladipo's injury history is extensive. If anyone thinks he is going to do enough to warrant offers of $20M+ per year after the remainder of this season, they need to adjust their bearings.

Yea, right now he's worth a qualifying offer. Little more. If he has another series of injuries he will remain at that price range.

If he plays at a starters level he may command 12-15 depending on the market but that's a long ways off right now.

[3ammy3uck3ts]

I’d trade Duncan and split his money between Dipo and Caleb. Maybe throw the MLE and one. Either save the MLE or some cap space from moving Duncan if we’re able to for another player.

[Wiltside]

Right now, Oladipo is an idea rather than an actuality. We need to see more before deciding whether he’s worth committing to further or not. If healthy, he’d be a great piece, but it remains a big if.

eddieheatfan in predictions thread = Lowest prediction of entire board - 42 wins

Also eddieheatfan : Herro = Larry Bird

Classic over correction

[Hallstar]

Dipo has another 1 year min in him. Next year is the show and prove year. If he backs himself for a high 8 figure deal, it doesn't make sense to take a 3 year 21 mil or whatever a team would offer now.

A lot will also depend on how Lowry looks in the playoffs
