I’m just now seeing this?! What the FUXK?!

Lowry finessed the living hell out of us


Didn’t he?! Good lord man. Like if we truly knew Lowry was done would we have done more at the deadline? Would we have went for Pat Bev or Westbrook?

He really screwed us. Just get me to the summer man, I’m fed up.

Apparently Jimmy is likely out tomorrow too


At this point I want Lowry gone and I want to forget he was ever here.

Westbrook is cooking and Lowry is on some Summer 2014 LeBron shenanigans.

It’s been a week of highs and lows.

Heat FO has some major egg on it’s face. They allowed themselves to be held hostage by Lowry. We have zero PG depth. Lost Bouyea to the Wiz who we should have locked up with a two way but apparently we didn’t want to release Orlando Robinson. Missed out on every PG released in the buyout market because we don’t want to release Haywood Highsmith. Down bad

It’s a slow burn, Panda! Gotta let it simmer for a bit!

I’m just glad that he’s on the court. He can make a proper entry pass, y’know?

Bam will be dead by the time the playoffs come around with Kawhi and Jimmy combining for 70 missed games but it’ll be worth it when we get there :lol:

Honestly? Same. Barring some sort of miracle run that results in us winning a title, let Gogi experience that magic. Anybody but the Celtics.

Vincent is ass, so yeah there's little doubt that we will massively overpay him. He's just another one of those players who suck but this team loves. This organization has a weird kink. :lol:

Things I want to see the Heat org do at the end of the season and in the offseason.

Bring Wade back to celebrate UDs final games as a Heat player.

While doing so engage in talks to bring both Wade and UD into the minority ownership group going forward and announce it next season.

Trade Lowry, Robinson, Herro and some picks to upgrade the roster in multiple positions. Don't need to target another elite star, just bring in above average guys who aren't deficient defensively and who aren't 35yo+ who compliment Bam and Jimmy's games. Enough undrafted guy experiments and let's see what these guys can do with NBA talent supporting them.

Finally get Bam to keep extending his offensive game further out beyond the arc. Explore using Bam in different ways offensively. Run off ball plays to get him open looks going to the basket and encourage him to attack the rim on the fast break more. Feel like Bam could take advantage beating big men up the court for easy points but he rarely does it.

Neither guy matters. Not even a little.

It would have been nice to keep him in the pipeline instead of Orlando. While undrafted long shot players are becoming a tired theme on the Heat, never know when a guy who can score well like Bouyea can actually stick. (So long as we give them a team friendly contract or simply let them go in FA)

Yeah that's not going to happen, too much pride and remember he is an actual minority owner of the Jazz. You would basically need Pat and Mickey down on their knees to even start that conversation.

Second, we have done the close to impossible but made our assets depreciate more than when the season started. You cant make this stuff up. Before the season Lowry had some value because of what he did last season, you could make the argument the playoffs were a fluke, this season put that to dead rest. Our first round pick is a flop, cant get playing time over some un drafted players. Herro right now is not worth his contract. Duncan has shown nothing. So saying trading Lowry, Duncan and Herro today, they have worse value than the start of the season. Thats some impressive levels of failure if we are being honest. The only one that might have some value is Lowry as an expiring, not for any on the court production. Again this would get anyone fired from any organization. It's nice we own a championship 10 years ago but that doesnt excuse this level of incompetence.
