If we trade Dragic it's an official tank. Until then we will be somewhere between 25-35 wins (high 30's if we really gel). Which is sorta a tank, but not a full on tank. More like a Quasi tank.

I hate quasi anything ....we should go for full tank mode.We don't pay Wade an extra 10 million but we pay Tyler Johnson 50 million - we're rewarding mediocrity and alienating greatness. To the middle we go just like in the 90s

Maybe but Dragic's days are numbered I think.... Trade coming in season.

I see this upcoming season is gonna have some quick highs but inevitably......:

Team appears to be too good for a full blown tank. A lot of people on the roster are hungry for a big pay day.

They will be terrible in close games though

Riley just can't do it...it takes a tank commander with true tanking grit to do it right and Riley is not the guy

True but I see a great potential for hero ball, I gotta get mine/Rio type play, and that equates to losses!

I just hope they buy in defensively. I'm not worried with Justise, Johnson, Richardson and Hassan. But the rest of the guys have to buy in. With all this youth we should be able to be solid on that end.

I still think we're poised to be awful. If Goran misses 10 games due to injury we'll lose 8 of them. If Hassan misses 10 games due to injury we'll lose 8 of them... at the very least.

We have no dept. We've been through this before with the 14-15 Heat team. That team was Wade, Bosh, Deng, and nothing else. This team is worse than that one and that one only won 37 games.

Assuming CB doesn't return but everything else goes right and we gel we could end up in the 35-40 win range. Even then though we'd be one serious injury or a string of minor one's away from finishing in the 25-30 range which is really all we need.

I don't think that the Heat will intentionally tank but with this roster we won't have to. We'll battle and it'll be fun to start the season but eventually it'll catch up to us and we'll probably end up with the 5th-7th pick.

Lot's of teams got better though so we may be able to sink even lower. Minnesota for example won't be a bottom 5 team again. The Lakers should be at least slightly better as well, same goes for the Pelicans.

Not Philly though... those bastards will continue to suck, so will the Nets. :nonono:

Lol i like how the Nets are getting screwed with all thier fee agency addition attempts getting matched then we sign 2 of their other players. Finally a player that can backup Hassan. Only thing I hate about the Babbit signing is it should have been a Jank or Pelle instead.

unless we trade up for Barrett or trade down for PJ Washington

76ers will be better. We are better than the Nets and Suns and that's about it. The draft would be a lot more fun with two picks.

I like our chances...probably not a playoff team, but we will not be getting embarrassed on a nightly basis.
