This actually may be the move that settles us all… Riley does not need to retire, but if Wade is brought back in on a high executive / ownership manner… I think many of us can live content with Riley a few more years as they prepare Wade to take the reigns in recruitment efforts.

Also with a full offseason with Ware, Bam is poised to boost his production and make the All-Star team next year.
Although he’s never done it before in his career, I think he can hit 20/10 next year. Perhaps even get on All-NBA third team.
I forgot the criteria but wouldn’t that make Bam eligible for a super max by being on the All-NBA 3rd team?

The Heat’s final offer included Andrew Wiggins, Terry Rozier, two bench players and the 20th pick in Wednesday’s NBA Draft. Haywood Highsmith and Jaime Jaquez Jr. were discussed as those two additional pieces in Miami’s offer, the source said.
For Robinson to be trade eligible, he would need to officially opt into his $19.9 million salary for next season by next Saturday’s deadline. That is considered a formality.
After he opts in, the Heat could have included Robinson in a trade, and the Suns could have cut him and paid only the $9.9 million guaranteed portion of his salary by the July 8 deadline.
Two players who have been linked to Miami in published reports – Sacramento Kings forward DeMar DeRozan (who is said to be available) and Golden State impending restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga - had not been the focus of Heat discussions as of Sunday afternoon, two sources said. DeRozan is due $24.5 million next season and $25.7 million in 2026-27, with only $10 million of that guaranteed.

They draw odd, arbitrary lines in the sand like they are the boss in the negotiation, and it comes off as arrogance to other front offices. They need a fresh perspective. They've been doing this too long, and the spark isn't there anymore.

Biggest mistake was not trading Butler in the offseason like the Suns did Durant if they had no plans to extend. They arrogantly took him into the season thinking there wouldn’t be repercussions. In the end everything back fired and the conclusion was having to eat a lowball offer at the deadline and team morale absolutely shot

Kind of. He also recklessly put out a bunch of "half-true" trade packages and framed them as "real offers" allowing every nba aggregator to run with them when that wasn't reality. Unless we are to believe that PHX opted against the rumored packages put forth by Toronto and Minnesota in favor of the Rockets offer.
He played his part for sure.

Also, my favorite part, Heat not taking Beal for Jimmy basically lead to them trading Durant

Beal would have to sign off on it anyways.. remember his wife chose Phoenix over Miami, because she wanted to be as close to LA as possible.. and Beal has said publically he likes living in Phoenix, his kids are settled in their schools at phoenix..
Now if phoenix today calls us and says hey, beal would waive the NTC to go to Miami, we need this contract out, we will give you some future firsts for expirings.. im taking that deal. Even if they dont include the #10, future firsts from 2026 to 2028 plus a large expiring has us in the driver seat for any star available in the 2026 offseason
Phoenix saves a ton of money.. We are not in position to compete the upcoming season.. we would have a large 52 million expiring in the 26 offseason and multiple firsts to trade. Its a no brainer..
