2025-26 Miami Heat Regular Season Thread 3.0

[Tim_Hardawayy]

Moving Wiggins for a pick is still worth considering, even if it doesn’t land someone like Giannis, which is highly unlikely anyway, especially with the risk that he could just walk next season.

I’m also not sure there’s a team willing to take on Rozier’s contract at this point. I’ve pretty much accepted that it’ll just expire and that we essentially gave Charlotte a pick for him.

Oh I agree, I'm just saying that should be the main reason to move Wiggins, for the pick itself, as part of a soft reset. Trying to use him to collect assets for an aging injured Giannis reeks of desperation and probably wouldn't work out anyways.

I'd love to send him to a not so great team who thinks they can compete but ends up missing the playoffs, making that pick more valuable. Sort of like what the Heat are, but in reverse.

Sounds like the Warriors to me Tim. Bring him home Mike Dunleavy!

Heat aren't getting Giannis without including Bam.

That is a fact that you all just refuse to come to grips with.

And then you complain about the FO unable to get Giannis with Tyler Herro being the biggest piece heading to Milwaukee

Herro gets trashed as weak, unplayable on defense, and injury-prone, yet fans expect him to be the centerpiece for a top-three player. Sounds logical to me.

Can we all just start saying we can’t believe Herro is not MVP and all his injuries were of a catastrophic though extremely unrepeatable nature? MVP caliber guy and he literally went through an amount pain almost no man could endure, though he is perfectly fine now and an amazing centerpiece for any trade.

Ja; Garland, Donovan, who would you rather have between the 3 in order from best to worst? I get the feeling at minimum one of those Cavs guards will be available this summer at the latest (I’ve never though Mitchell was a long term piece for Cleveland) and the obviously Ja is there for the taking right now.

I guess assuming the Giannis thing doesnt happen

Garland doesn't move the needle at all. He isn't better than Tyler Herro.

I'd personally want Donovan Mitchell. He's Bam's boi and he'll only be 30 with several more years of high-level play left in him. He's also one of the best playoff performers in the league. A core of Bam and Donny + a strong supporting cast is a 50 win team and a contender in the East.


Now if we were trading Bam and doing a full rebuild kind of thing, then I would take the flier on Morant - who's younger than Mitchell with perhaps more upside potential (if things work out).

"one of the best playoff performers in the league", you'd think a guy like that would have been to at least the confrence finals multiple times, but apparently just reaching the 2nd round qualifies for great playoff performances?

In terms of PPG and efficiency, he's right up there.

Curious as to who is trading a Herro for Giannis as currently rumored, let alone Bam. Better yet, who’s trading an asset equivalent to Ware?

Herro to Detroit? They need shooting badly. Could probably get Ivey if thats interesting? Ivey and a pick?

[DayofMourning]

Bam to the Spurs would be interesting.

Barnes, Keldon, ATL pick swap in 26?

He'd be a nice buy low. Team has adapted a different identity recently; rebounding and defense. He fits.

They really need a 3rd big on the roster.

[ZoStrong]

Ha, Bam and Wemby would be great together honestly.

[EMC5466]

I wouldn’t be mad if we ended up keeping Wiggins. He’s actually pretty good.

In an ideal world

A contender offers a 1st for Powell.

Three way trade

Powell for 1st which is rerouted to Milwaukee

Terry & Simone expirings to Milwaukee
Ware, JJJ, Kasparas young players to Mil
3 firsts to Milwaukee gives the Bucks MUCH needed firsts./


( I’d want to keep one of JJJ or Kasparas) but we gotta do what we gotta do.

That should get the Bucks attention.

Leaves you with

Bam Jovic
Giannis
Wiggins Larson
Herro Gardner
Mitchell Dru

Look at Buy out market, maybe Khris Middleton for example? If bought out.

We would also keep our 2026 first pick.

So Harden is a playoff choker who has better career TS%, better WS / 48, highern average BPM and PER in the playoffs than Donovan Mitchell and at least was past the 2nd round

However Donovan is "one of the best playoff performers in the league"

You have to love sports narratives

Starting to think Miami low key has shut Herro down until the deadline

Just because of his injury history can't have him get hurt seriously and tank his value
