Patrick has never rushed to the phone so quickly, welcome to Miami KD. It’s been long overdue


I'd legit be so happy if we get KD and can retain Niko. Might not be possible, but a team of:

Dru Smith / Mitchell?
Herro / Larsson / Burks?
Durant / Highsmith
Adebayo / Jovic / Keshad
Ware / Backup Big / Love

I think we got either Big or PG at #20, if we retain the pick. Otherwise its probably gone in the KD deal and we need to go shopping.

That looks like a 44-38 team. Eh. Boy I hope Ware reaches his best possible outcome.

Highly unlikely we’ll have the pick but I’d guess we take a PG if so depending on who’s available obviously. Spo will push Bam to center and KD to the 4 when Ware sits I’d say

Pick 20 will be dealt. They will use that money pegged to that pick on a veteran of KD’s choosing.

I don’t want to see Highsmith in any lineup variations. He needs to just go. Give me a more dynamic scoring wing off the bench.

If Tatum tore his achilles that legit is likely the end of his prime which is horrifying. In NBA history only Dominique Wilkins and Durant have been able to come back at their prior level after an achilles.

Celtics no tatum and shedding salaries?
Giannis to the west?
Pacers might lose Myles Turner and Cavs lose Ty Jerome.
East is truly wide open.

Magic and Pistons will be healthy and better tho, but still.

West >>> East

They better be proactive, gosh damn. SO many things in recent Heat history that could’ve really set us up for next season but there’s still time to get big things done.

To really improve, we need that proper starting PG. Even both Smith and Mitchell won't be enough. We need to keep one of them to come off the bench and for defensive lineups. But a better table setter who can break down a defence and be a reliable 3pt shooter is needed to start. Otherwise the KD move is short sighted and we still won't go anywhere while losing assets for an old player. Another playable big is needed ideally to backup Ware like you have there as well.

Sixers as well but Bam will erase Embiid if they meet us in the ECF like he always does.
