Personally, I’d be really excited about a Bam, Davion Mitchell, Herro, Kuminga, Niko, Ware and Kasparas core.

27, 26, 25, 22, 22, 21 and 19, as of this writing. I’m not one to proclaim what a player can eventually become, but that’s a talented, versatile group, even if the current combination of skill sets isn’t the best fit.

Sexton has always felt like a matter of when, not if.

Apparently Wiggins talks are dead for now per Fischer. Wiggins being soft and playing like a shy grade schooler in the playoffs has tanked his value. A guy like him who arguably was the x factor in Warriors recent chip should not have played as sh*tty has he did against those Cavs. Miami won't get a 1st but they should still try to get a few expirings and a couple 2nd rounders

EDIT** Looks like we could possibly pivot to Utah with the recent Sexton rumblings. He's an expiring so i cant imagine any1 is giving up a 1st for that

I hope not.

We should play all of our yung guys this year.

No more Terry **** Rozier sucking the life out of everyone.

No more Wiggs.

No more BS.

Play the yung guys and embrace the best drafting stretch in Miami Heat history.

We may suck.

We may be rewarded with that special alpha that we are missing.

Only team that may have interest in Wiggins is Golden State imo.

Im thinking we max them out amd then trade into the 2026 lottery to replace them.

Herro for DP.

Bam for Boozer.

Its over as soon as that happens.

I almost want Miami to trade for Barrett just so he'll stop bullying Miami. He seems to always have a great game when he plays Miami.

He was playing hurt. Anyone with a brain and eyes could see it. It's the same thing about his previous 2 years. People just ignore that he was donating bone marrow while he was away from team and then dealing with the death of his father. Yet still tried to play.

And reading up on hamstring tendinopathy, I dont expect him to be fully healthy to start the season.

Im with u CC. He was def injured. Changed his whole game.

Everyone here remembers that 40 piece he had and how easy it looked.

He got injured and was a scapegoat after.

Id still move him for picks but he is a good guy to have around.

Isn’t this like the fundamental thing. He was hurt so realistically no team will want to trade for him before he shows himself not only healthy but back to a positive value on the court. Right now trading him will result in pennies for dollars and rightfully so. Honestly im surprised the Lakers aren’t the ones demanding a first here.

It feels like we are playing this so wrong, let him get healthy, feature him to pump up his value, then trade him. That would be the simple common sense thing to do.

Featuring him is the wrong way to go about it. He's a 2 way that can fluctuate between a 2b and 3a type role. Teams know what he is which is why contenders keep knocking.

Giving him 1a or even 2a touches is pushing him to be something he's not.

The rumours of guys like demar, kuminga, and even simons tells me there is a type that Riley wants. He wants one way bucket getters and that isn't wiggins. If that's what people were expecting, it's better to move off him rather than let him walk for nothing next off season.

If that tendinopathy is chronic, all bets are off. Id move him for anything.

I'm afraid that anything we do is just going to make things worse. I've lost faith in our front office.


here is my over-optimistic summary:

I'm in for a development season, but I doubt the Heat FO or many of the fans are. We own our pick in 2026, which will be a good draft.
