Miami Heat 2016 Offseason Thread; "It will be fun in July"- July-er(Part XIII)

[gom]

Wizards, Bulls, & 76ers are all better than us.
We will go 1-3 with the Magic. Magic should be a playoff team

The only team that we are better than in the NBA is the Nets.

Courtesy advance warning:

¹ I intend to quote this post at an unspecified date(s) later in the season for the sole purpose of publicly shaming you.

² I will also, by requirement, use the following gif (attached below) or some reasonable facsimile thereof for said shaming.

I hope to see it, Mars.

When I'll have some free time I want to breakdown all the teams in East, their offseason and see exactly how we stack up.

For now I'll just say that at first look, the only teams I feel we really should be better then are :

Wizards
Nets
Philly
Maybe Bulls
Maybe Magic

In think our range is 10-13. Meaning playoffs are long shot. Meaning drafting high should be a priority.

Wizards, Bulls, & 76ers are all better than us.
We will go 1-3 with the Magic. Magic should be a playoff team

The only team that we are better than in the NBA is the Nets.

I'll just speculate and say gom is having a bad day, all is forgiven.

I am having a bad month. Bring on August. #**** _ July.

If word from a party close to that situation was correct, the Heat quite literally could not even give McRoberts away, that no outside team wanted to take on his salary-cap hits that include a player option for 2017-18.

Hopefully now a certain group of posters can stfu.

Probably hard to "give him away" when we have no 2nd round pick to trade until 2022. We ditched multiple 2nd round picks last year so Micky could avoid paying the repeater tax.

I'll refrain from expanding on that.

Mcbob will be a key piece in the Westbrook trade and his haters will have to apologize for their sins.

I wanted him gone after his 1st season with us. I remember you telling me that Sob would be an important rotation player for us on a 'bargain' contract.

The players attached in those trades weren't making 6 mil.

Keep crying though.

Are you Pat Riley in disguise?

[Bishop45]

Excite for the possibility of SF Rich, I think he'll excel there. What is it, a 15 lb difference between him and Eagle dollar? Goya and rice and repeat

Watch on YouTube

I'm ready(for the evolution or/AND trade, but REVOFEV).

Yeah, McBob is making a ton of money. Almost as much as perennial All-Star Wayne Ellington.

But some of us remember that the need to avoid the repeater tax last season was purportedly so we could get back to spending freely this season. Of course that was never going to happen due to having to sign Whiteside/Durant with cap money, and only being able to exceed the cap for Tyler Johnson, exceptions, and minimum salaries.

Once again, saving Micky some loose change took precedence over everything else.

Heat's Waiters pick-up

Barry Jackson | Sunday Buzz Column | Miami Herald
July 31, 2016

Some nuggets on Heat addition Dion Waiters: The Heat is looking at him as a potential starter at shooting guard and his numbers are similar in 179 career games as a backup and 110 as a starter. But last season, he was far better as a backup, especially on threes (38.5 percent to 27.6)….

Opposing players shot slightly worse when they were defended by Waiters last season (43.1 percent) than they did overall (43.6). For perspective, players guarded by Dwyane Wade shot 42.7, Josh Richardson 44.9, and Toronto’s DeMar DeRozan 47.3….

Erik Spoelstra might look at how OKC coach Billy Donovan used Waiters, which Waiters appreciated. Donovan put the ball in Waiters’ hands more when Russell Westbrook was on the bench --- “Dion just loves to have the ball in his hands,” Kevin Durant said --- and unlike past coaches, allowed Waiters to roam without the ball instead of sticking him in the corner.

“There are a lot of things that Dion does that do not show up in the stat sheets,” Donovan said earlier this year. “He's a really, really good defensive player. He can put the ball on the floor. He can generate shots for others. He's a smart player, got a good feel for the game.

“Listen, there's been some times where he's not played great and I've had to take him off the floor and put him back in later on, but overall I trust Dion in terms of even when he's not playing well he can kind of refocus himself and get back to where he needs to get back.”…

Waiters struggled in the clutch (7 for 23) and his 17 points per 48 minutes ranked 37th among 54 shooting guards… He struggles finishing in the basket area; he shot just 49 percent within five feet, in the bottom quarter of shooting guards – Wade was at 63 percent – and missing two of 19 dunks.

There's a difference between actually contributing to a team and being plain trash making full MLE money while missing months at a time with knee injuries. Want to guess the latter?

Do you know what JRich max vert is?

Thanks in advance.

Not gonna happen but in a perfect world both JRich & Winslow would have grown 2 inches each over the summer, & gain 15/20 pounds so they could be our legit SF, & PF.

Man, I am really trying to find some excitement for next season. I just do not know if this year team will be any better than the 2002-03 roster. This summer was really really bad. The Heat plan for two years for this summer, and all they did was resign Whiteside. Is this team better than 2002-03 roster?
