[twix2500]

PG: Lowry - Vincent - Bolmaro - Oladipo
SG: Herro - Robinson
SF: Butler - Martin - Cain
PF: Vanderbilt - Jovic - Highsmith
Ce: Adebayo - Robinson - Yurtseven (Dwight Howard)

Or

PG: Lowry - Vincent - Bolmaro - Oladipo
SG: Butler - Herro
SF: Martin - Robinson - Cain
PF: Jovic - Vanderbilt - Highsmith
Ce: Adebayo - Robinson - Yurtseven (Dwight Howard)

Jovic and Vanderbilt will play mins at center in Spo system. Will have Bolmaro and Vanderbilt locked in for the next 2 years at a low salary.

He could’ve been the final piece imo

We’ve been a bit like the Pistons looking for that Sheed trade. The problem is the FO has been swinging for the fences, when we really needed to land the right piece. Like the Pistons, a two-way PF who could drop a 30-piece on any given night (but suffered from poor fits) would be the ideal play for us.

Twix I’d rather make bigger moves, one way or another. I think Randle has the potential to be our Sheed deal. He can light up and score big, big numbers. Kuz could also work, but the Wiz are going for it.

Knicks finally have all their picks, and some. They really should make the most of the next year or two and stock up on young high quality talent. Not sure what a deal with them would look like, but he could be worth a couple picks to us.

Rasheed Wallace is a Draymond Green level of player. Actually more talented than Green. Green is a player I wouldn't be surprised traded at the deadline.

I'm fine with Randle as an off the bench scorer. But I think its important to start building around Bam and relieving him from a lot of the defensive responsibilities and allow Bam to be more of an offensive player. Not taking the ball out of his hands on offense. I don't want the ball in Randle hands over Bam. Also Jovic is supposed to be developing into a scorer who complements Bam. Vanderbilt gives a player with length, defensive versatility, block shots, dive for rebounds that can now allow Bam to leak out and get in transition more and cause matchup problems.

Heat needs a low post defender that can play with Bam. Unless Spo feels he can make Randle become that, I don't think its that much of impact and will take away from other players taking shots. We don't have room for another plus 10 fga player when everyone is healthy.

To add to this I think its important to have role players who log a lot of mins that complement Bam, Butler and Herro and fit the system. Martin, Vincent and Vanderbilt complement the Heat big three defensively and then you have Jovic and either Strus or Robinson offensively. I think it is important to get this starting Unit solidified with an identity. And that identity needs to be in the top 5 of the league. And the easiest way to get this team in a top 5 category is defensively. Get this team in the top five defensively and healthy they will be a contender again.

Just looked at Randle salary, no way the Heat can afford 5th 25 plus mill dollar contract the next 4 yrs without trading Bam, Herro or Butler.

If we don’t have something up our sleeve for a star Myles Turner is the move fellas, the literal perfect fit next to Bam.

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Turner averages 19-8.5-1.5 with 3 blocks shooting 47% from 3 on 4 attempts. Please get this dude

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Duncan Dipo Dedmon 2 1sts and maybe Jovic forTurner Buddy and Brissett. Go into the tax

[3ammy3uck3ts]

If we can’t get Buddy then id like to find a way to get 2 of Brissett, Bey, and Isaiah Stewart to go along with Turner. Our front court depth would be solved

Man I wish he didn’t have the slow start to the season but this was always going to be a learning experience.

[Flash4thewin]

I think people are forgetting Turner will be a free agent and is going for the Money. He is projected to get a contract in the 30 Mil range since multiple teams will have cap space and he is playing great.

[RexBoyWonder]

after Jemery Grant went to Portland in the offseason, I mentioned Kuzma as the next target as buy low PF.

Bish and Iggie laughed, but they aint laughing now after he went Prime MJ on us, twice.

Kuzma would legit be our 3rd best player, he’s a really good fit here.

Which teams with cap space are giving him $30M?

I'd still target PJ Washington over him.

Strus + Omer

Get both, bring one off the bench. Solves the frontcourt depth problem. Keep Strus, we need a specialist

The following teams will have the cap space to go after him if they want: Spurs, Rockets, Pacers, Pistons, Hornets, Thunder, Lakers, Jazz. Thats 8 teams with cap space, not counting teams that could trade for him.

People need to remember that salaries are going up, heck we had so many people here think Herro would get something in 20 mil range, then reality hit them hard when he got 30 mil a year.
