Bam yes

but.. herro?

the only step I was excited for him to take, was the step onto the plane as he leaves miami after getting traded

I just want you all to save your energy because i just have a feeling, we wont be making any further moves until the deadline in next February. Lilliard isnt going to be traded this month, next month. Portland will likely want to give it a go to start as will other teams like the Clippers, Golden State.. and if their situation looks bad by end of december, i can then see them opening up trade talks.

So yeah, lowry and dipo will very likely be here to start the season until we see other dominos fall into place.

We will be using our 18th pick.

The one move i hope we entertain is Lopez. But there are challenges to make that happen. Still i want to see what the Heat can do to try to make that happen.

Well I’m not a herro hater so why wouldn’t I want to see him improve?

With Beal getting the scraps from Booker and KD, I can easily see Herro putting up higher scoring next season. Not Beal's fault of course. Curious choice, but good for him. Maybe they can knock off the Nuggets for us. ;-)

I don't want Lopez. I want Porzingis.

I still think the nuggets are better than the suns even with that trade lol hell i think the lakers are better still..

Durant has had 4 “big3” combos in his career with okc, golden state, brooklyn and now the suns and only the OKC and golden state version looked dangerous to me..

Vincent, Herro, Butler, Porzingis, Bam is a very solid core that can compete.

Beal: YOUR LOSS for not picking a championship organization. Have fun getting murdered on defense and good luck on getting more than 10 shots a game
WAS: YOUR LOSS for turning down a FRP LOL

Anyway we can get Porzingis for cheap since he’s expiring? Doubt we can with Riley always being asleep

Step aside, Pajama Pat. Let her show you the way.

Ayton is not going to be a happy camper going back to being the 4th option on offense.

“They got work to do. They got work to do, dawg. I don’t know if it would just be just one person. We have great leadership in Kyle (Lowry), who’ll be back next year.

He’ll be traded for KO’s non guaranteed contract and whatever scraps that beat our expiring scraps they can muster up

I dont like throwing people under the table. But Andy Elisburg has been the teams GM for the past 10 years.

Andy doesn't fit under the table.

I will not be expecting anymore from this offseason. I’ll just gladly accept whatever roster we have next season lol. The Heat is always the front runner but it never materialized for whatever reason :banghead:

Remember, that Phoenix insider said yesterday the Heat weren't interested in Beal.

Like I said earlier, Riley will keep striking out. Dame will just be the next pipe dream. Pat literally hasn’t landed a real player/trade since Shaq. Wade brought us Lebron and Bosh on a silver platter. Jimmy wanted Miami, again due to the Wade friendship. It wasn’t anything Pat did there. And last but not least Riley didn’t even want to draft Wade, needed to be convinced by others. You guys hold Pat with way too high regard. And when Lebron wanted to leave, Riley tried convincing him to stay by acquiring Danny Freaking Granger. Then cheap ass owner also amnestied Mike Miller. Who the hell uses an amnesty clause when you have a legendary trio on a dead eye 3 point shooter? Riley has been washed for ages and somehow the fans keep chirping “godfather” nonsense. Put up or shut up.

All Riley has done is hand Spo g league bums that spo somehow gets them to play like All stars. Then Riley comes in and gives them each 50mil and calls it a day
