Fam,

Your GM thought he was an Andrew Wiggins away from a championship and life quickly showed him he was an Andrew Wiggins away from getting raw-dogged in the first round.

PIMPlinka won’t fall for it.

LeBron doesn’t want a buy out it’s a stain on his legacy, and he also wants to look like the good guy here.

LA doesn’t want a buy out either, they would be best served recouping something, and have a great separation with an all time player for their image.

Miami is positioned to make this move, I can’t help but think they will take a swing at it, but if they do I doubt we hear about it until it is completed or months after it falls through. This will be handled delicately

Makes sense to me why they backed up off the KD move and have been slow to act here on some of the secondary targets


I don't think he would want to come back. He couldn't have his way and control of the franchise the first time. I don't see our FO giving in to him like other teams have.


Yup. This is where the fan base lose me. The way in which he left put a sour taste in the mouths of this organisation & fans. Setting up secret meetings w/ Gilbert, leaving our team & FO hanging & left before we cld properly make moves to compensate. This is the guy you want back? Fans will sell their souls for rings.



I’ll gladly sell the front offices dignity for one more ring. In fact I think one more run with LeBron would set things right around here for a long time.

You guys don’t remember what it was like having the media machine on our side

only thing I want from LA is Thiero, since we are going with a youth movement might as well get exciting youth. We also need toget down to 12 or 13 players we are carrying way too many guys. Love not moved yet? Terry not moved? Why does every team seem to move faster in dropping their dead weight than the Heat?
1. Herro 2. Bol Bol 3. Seko 4. Bruno
unless we trade up for Barrett or trade down for PJ Washington

I doubt FO wld give the lint in their pockets for him. It’s not close to the same Lebron as the big-3. Im not speaking playing-wise. He has been heavily criticised by even the same people who supported him in the past. Did you see the way he was treated in NY? He’s not even getting the same calls. He’s overstayed his welcome in the NBA to have become a negative. The stat padding, antics, his controlled pod cast narratives etc. He’s as toxic as ever, including his handlers Klutch/Rich Paul. Farewell tour using Miami? Who the hell wants that bs here? Im confident we have zero interest.
If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

Rapid fire questions for the board:

1) What’s the consensus on the board in terms of team building? Tank Sixers/Blazers/Wizards style?

Look to be competitive every year?

Something in the middle, understanding that that’ll lead to a good deal of variance?

2) Do you look more for what a player is good at or not so good at?

3) What kind of result would make you happy/excited/interested in terms of the Heat, for say, the next 2 seasons?

Air Canada was Finals MVP in 22. Curry texts him daily letting him know how much he appreciates him carrying that team to the chip.

Just to stick it to LeBron.

Gives Miami a complete boy band: Jaquez, Jovic, Ware, Bronny, Knecht

In my opinion there’s no reason to trade Wiggins in the summer if we arent gettibg value back..

He may be more valuable at the trade deadline, and if we are not at a 500 record by then (our current roster does not look like a .500 team) then we wont have any use for wiggins

Hes a luxury player not a building block
