Miami Heat Off-Season 2.0- The Empire runs it back

[SoFlaKingReal]

So, we have become the new florida Marlins

Yes, the Miami/Florida Marlins who have made the playoffs ONE time in the past 20 years lol

[Eagle4]

Woke up from a nap feeling sick seeing reports. Suns got him for a bag of chips. It is what it is.

We obviously all want Dame but its just unlikely and other teams such as Nets have far more FRPs. Also Dame doesn’t have a NTC like Beal did. **** Beal though, dudes been teasing Heat fans for what 6 years now? On the root against the Suns bandwagon, redundant ass trio. Fk em

[Joey Bada]

Aight I’m a little late, so who’s the “secret insider” this offseason?

Has watchout made another appearance?

Is the dude from last year back with “juicy hot sauce nuggets with two scoops of saucecream” From his friend in the front office?

Barry really pushing the half-hearted stuff, even though it makes the Heat look kind of bad, depending on if you were interested in those two. If you weren't, it looks great then.

This is what I was thinking, they sound like they were demanding Washington to take Robinson, you know the guy they vastly overpaid while having a guy in Strus on the roster to replace him. Just a bad move trying to get someone to take your mistake.

Soooo glad we didn’t get Beal.
Give me Lillard or give me size, not a soon past his prime midget.

We're more like the Buffalo Bills 90's at this point. Too many ECF/Finals appearances and can't get it done.

I fear what will happen is that the FO will be told do whatever it takes to get under the tax and Miami ends up with a lesser roster once again after a finals run.

Spoiler:

After some time to reflect, Beal still makes very little sense for Phoenix. They already have 2 guys in Booker and KD who play the same role. Unless owner Ishbia thinks the game is played with 2 basketballs..

A lot of shenanigans for leverage at this time. It's a circus out here.


Again will not subscribe to any of this Beal sh*t until Woj drops that bomb.

Well, there it is. We're talking 'bout Bradley 'Chase The Money', Beal, that no matter how much we pursued him, the f*cker continued to focus on the money knowing damn well & perfectly fine Washington was nvr going to maximise his opportunity to contend. & now look he goes & forms a f*ckin' superteam - goes to show what sort of competitor he is.....

.....So he chased the money all these yrs and then goes the easy route. F*CK BEAL

Beal was never it. He proved he was nvr Heat material. I'm surprised how many, esp those who hopped off, jumped straight back on the Beal train. Pat may have followed his instinct & wasn't willing to offer more than he was really worth. I ride w/ our decision.

This is a real concern here.
However, Beal was not a changer by any means.

[fishfuego.]

Don’t buy into the Beal hype. He was not it.

Isn't that what basically Butler did? He would only go to a team that would give him the max, he was considering to Houston before agreeing with Miami. He to chased the money with only teams that would give him the max.

Can you imagine Beal being the reason we win a championship because I don’t, guy has never been a winner and is gonna make 47 mil with a ntc lol no thanks

Wish and hope for dame
I did want Mitchell and think he could have been that dude

Other than that don’t fall for temptation

[MettaWorldPanda]

Don’t sleep on getting Bogdan Bogdonovic perfect spot to add an aging 20 point vet scorer who can fill the PF role and add a even deadlier shooting threat between Bam and Butler. His contract is only 2 mil guaranteed next year. Duncan has his college coach in that front office. Bogi is getting wasted in Detroit.

[Flash4thewin]

You know what bothers me the most when I think about it. All we had to do was sell Beal on the idea to come here. This was not about over paying in a trade for him. It was about selling him a winning idea. Ideally one would think us coming of getting the finals would make this easy but clearly whatever Pat was saying, whatever he was selling Beal was not buying.

The only thing that makes any sense is our inability or self imposed restrictions on spending vs the Sun being ok spending. For as much a positive Bam is in recruiting, the opposite can be said about Butler. What Star player want a peer to coast for half the season? It's scary and telling that when UD talks about leadership in the locker room he talks about Lowry.

So, now the goal is to make the playoffs? Or to hand out bad contracts? Or maybe to amnesty a player when you had probably a Dynasty in the making ( generating a ton of cash ) in order to save some tax money? As much as you want to ignore it, this Fo last few seasons have been very mediocre to say the least.

Ive been saying it.. acquiring beal, and trading herro away is a wash in terms of production. Sure hes better offensively.. but not that much better, hes not going to put us over the top against Philadelphia, Boston, Milwaukee.. i will even say we are still underdogs..

Now you bring in Damian here and its a **** wrap… the conference is ours and no one can do **** about that

[MettaWorldPanda]

We will lose out to BK in any deal for Lillard. Dinwiddie, Harris, and Mills all expiring equal exactly Lillard’s contract along with 5 out of 11 1st round picks they have in there cupboard and it’s a wrap. BK will also have close to 40 million in cap room for other moves. Start looking at other moves. Lillard will gladly go to the big market of BK regardless of chip promises or not. He’ll be with his boy Bridges.

Hear me out for a sec.

Am i really the only one that's kinda sick of all these Divas?

KD, Beal, Harden, Kyrie..the list goes on.

Self entitled, uncompetitive, unbearable DIVAS that happen to be great at basketball. But lack any resembles of a backbone or character or balls.

Sure I'd love to have their BB skills on my team, but I swear - it will be so hard to root for any of them if we get any of them someday. Hell, it's getting hard to stand 80% of these "stars".

I don't know what to tell you. This current NBA culture is disgusting to me.

I'm just sick of "Wanting" these great players that are really so unlikeable as people.

Just like the players are divas, does that make the fans divas for wanting to trade away our whole team to get them?

[MettaWorldPanda]

Maybe we should make this long awaited trade with OKC to unlock picks right? You would think this should have been done already so we could have some leverage but alas maybe we are just all assuming OKC has any interest in doing this without some real cost. If it’s not top 14 in 2025 they get a clean pick in 2026. That’s Jimmy’s free agent year at 37

Damian is a Whale.
Beal is another cute Dolphin doing his little flips.
The Heat is full of little undersized Dolphins.
Again, Damian or size.
