Give me this years #3 pick and every god damn pick you have in your cupboard at least 6-7 FRP's, half of them better be unprotected.

Well, I'm not a doctor but you seem to have a allergic reaction to winning.
Butler with Dame and you can go out and find a serviceable big to compliment those two alphas.
Agreed that Mia likely wouldn't make that move because they are too invested into Bam.
Despite that, it would be the correct basketball move if it were hypothetically on the table.
I hear what you’re saying but your mouth isn’t moving, it must be coming out of your ass.
Swap dame for Bam and the Heat don’t make the finals last year. Allergic to winning? I’ve witnessed 3 championships with this team, 7 finals trips (2 in the last 4 years), 3 ECF trips in the last 4 years. I’m begging the Heat to trade for an all star 3 level scorer this season because 1. It’s their biggest need and 2. Because I’m fuxking addicted to winning, not allergic. I want a championship for this group more than I’ve ever wanted a championship outside of Wades 1st.
Swap Dame for Bam and last years guard(s) for a servicable big and Mia wins the chip

nobody is blowing anything, relax this is probably some Blazer's scheme so they look like they tried uniting Bam with his friend.
on your other statement no, i dont think we have anything at this time to get somebody who will get us over the top, some improvement yes but i just dont see KP taking us over the hump unless he can play like an allstar. We have inflicted a lot of damage to our finances with some undesirable contracts, and it has been happening for some time now.

Re: Miami Heat Off-Season 2.0- The Empire runs it back
I am still suspicious that Dame is using us as leverage to force Portland to trade the #3.
I don't believe Dame will ask out.

Re: Miami Heat Off-Season 2.0- The Empire runs it back
That last caption is what makes this Dame to Miami rumor such a comical exercise in offseason torture. Take a deep breath and realize our best offer is a repetitive asset to them of Herro 27 mil(Simons-Sharpe 30 total), Robinson 54 mil, Lowry expiring, and currently need a hoop to climb with OKC which should have been done already to offer 3 maybe 4 picks? But probably need a pick just to get OKC to unlock a pick pick pick. Blazers just told our twitter heads and media to go eat a dick tbh

Portland not trading the 3rd pick. They're calling his bluff that he won't ask out.

Whatever serviceable big you’re thinking of is getting cooked by Giannis and those 16 point 4th quarter comebacks aren’t possible.
If Jimmy was healthy works both ways; we win last year if not for him Herro and Dipo being injured.
Wanting to give up basically the entire future for a shot in the dark 2 year window, when we already know what works and where we need to upgrade, is completely short sighted and I highly doubt it happens

the Heat better start pivoting to a more attainable asset instead of feeding this b ulls hit plan about obtaining Dame, it is not happening, it will not happen. Improve the roster as much as you can and play another season, we might even make the playoffs and the fanbase will be contented.

We have 3 1st and can easily unlock a 4th, Herro (who can also be traded for 1sts if needed), and $40M in expiring money. That’s enough to add some pretty significant pieces to put us over the top

All these guys can score, none are perfect. Most are attainable, if we can get them by using Duncan/Lowry/Dipo + pick/s, some are worth it if we get a good deal.
Most teams I'd say stay away from KPJ, Miami... they could start him at PG, give him the same green light Nunn/Vincent had and have a 20ppg guy on a Robinson contract. I believe Miami can get players under 20 mil a year scoring 20ppg and KPJ is one of those guys like Sexton too. I'd also roll the dice on Wood and Bojan on a high teens scorer but at PF.
I don't like paying top dollar for non proven scoring at the playoff level, I'd rather find "scorers" for much cheaper and expect Spoelstra to get the most out of them.
There's a situation that most Miami fans don't seem to get, players are usually BETTER in Miami under Miami's environment and coaching staff, so when looking at players on the team and players being looked at on another team, please consider the Miami bump they would get being in Miami or the drop off these current players may have if they left Miami.
Not all players. Immature players (like Winslow and Beasley) struggled here.
Beasley more than Winslow, Winslow's issue was with injuries and butting heads with the team on how to handle those injuries. I liked Winslow, just not so much at PG.

is it enought to land Damian? thats the main horse who will take us up there with the favorites to win it all. Another thing is it seems very difficult to find the appropiate suitor to take on Herro. Things do not look good, which it were different but we are in a very difficult spot.

Re: Miami Heat Off-Season 2.0- The Empire runs it back
Clear shot fired by Portland. Now you got the talking heads on Twitter talking about Bam to Portland and now probably headlines ESPN’s next segment. You keep poking the bear and this is the type of chit that happens.

Without fail, once the playoffs end a portion of the fanbase goes back to thinking Bam is replaceable by the average NBA big man.

Maybe, maybe not. Regardless I’m saying with or without dame we have the pieces to make several moves to bolster this roster and go over the top. We were right there
