Off-season thread vol 8: KD brings in UD

sigh

trash offseason

riley has no problem overpaying scrubs in contracts, but his pride and ego wont let him pay a little too much in a trade

sometimes you gotta do it to get it done. we were 1 piece away last year.

now we going back with a worse team. sucks.

Spida ain't all that bro. He has glaring flaws. In my opinion, Pat did the right thing and stayed put with his offer. If we had traded away everything (Lowry, Herro, Strus, Gabe, Yurt, all our picks and swaps) for Spida, I don't think we'd be a better team. You can argue it's better for the future (Bam and Mitchell's timeline), but idk if we can be contenders this year and win one for Jimmy without draft assets and depth

it's well established bummy's a liar....he's also a stalker. What a reprobate.

[Elnegron]

It's astonishing the way we have failed to surround Jimmy with help. Someone should be fired or resign over this disaster of an offseason.

This narrative is tired. Nor does it hold up under scrutiny. Jimmy has had the best success he’s ever had in his career with the Miami Heat in these 3 seasons. Pack it up.

Lmao this don’t mean sh.. every elite team has 2 stars and jimmy hasn’t have a partner yet. This says more about how good of a fit and big pair of cojones jimmy have than heat surrounding jimmy with a star player. Pathetic u calling undrafted players and journeyman true help

for 1 Lowry wasn’t needed for this trade. Robinson and herro salary wise was enough and Mitchell right now is all u wish herro was. Unlike herro who every year is hurt and had a fluke bubble game, Mitchell performance excellent in playoffs. Last year he had a tight bruise and also quit to get out of utah

You said a bunch of nothing. Go run a lap.

[Elnegron]

The players can be ridiculed non stop but god forbid someone critique this front office. They can make mistakes just like players. Not going all in this offseason (unless they have someone up their sleeves) is one of them. We needed that last move to put us over the top.

We can spam this internal development talk all we want but many teams near us in the standings made moves AND will have internal growth.

Celtics made 2 huge pickups and have young guys who will improve. Same goes for the Hawks. The best team in the league is healthy with Middleton back. The raptors did both. The Cavs clearly did both. Sixers did both.

It’s ok as fans for us to be upset and critique us sitting on our hands this offseason. We’re not the only team that may see internal growth and the team that embarrassed us on our homecourt 3 games in a row and ended our season got much better with their moves.

The improvement u talking about have been talked about for 2 seasons already. When is the excuse gonna end? When jimmy prime is gone?. Aside from that bam would need have a ‘em bid type of season to justify the internal growth crap going around. Not blaming u just liked ur reply and latched in

[Heat_Down_Under]

Send him to the Celtics so he can get the ring he deserves

100%.. we don’t deserve Jimmy

lol that's an exaggeration. We've been to multiple finals before Jimmy. We've had Wade, Shaq and Lebron all top 15 players all time play for this franchise. And Jimmy is nowhere near on their level. Its been a disappointing offseason but this isn't Sacramento Kings.

Exaggeration? Butler has been our best player since the big 3 era.. even Wade couldn’t carry us to the finals once the big 3 split.. to not get butler help this off season was criminal. He single handedly took us to the finals in 2020 with a lot of rookies.. who was our best player besides butler in 2020? He won us game 6 at Boston this past season with a performance for the ages.. played 48 mins in game 7 and was gassed and couldn’t make the last shot which he knew had to jack up coz he couldn’t go another 5 mins of overtime. He’s been loyal and not a drama queen wanting out.. has never asked for help like lebron or durant etc.. but yeah no worries I’m exaggerating cool… have fun watching us treadmill this season

Jimmy played in 57 games last year, about 70% of the season, the team finished with the #1 seed. We didnt have the traditional second star that a lot of elite teams have, but we still were/are a very good team. If the team minus Jimmy didnt choose the worst possible time to play their worst ball we might be having a different conversation now.

Lowry was needed for the trade because we needed more assets to finish it. If we wanted to beat Cleveland's offer, we needed 4 unprotected first round picks. Trading Lowry, Strus, Gabe would definitely net you one-two FRP's to make you the clear favorite for a Donovan Mitchell. Utah does not want Duncan Robinson's terrible contract unless you add a lot of picks bro

[Heat_Down_Under]

It's incredible how fans are diluted over JB, I give you the he is our best player, but cmon, he can barely make an All Star team at his age...JB owes this team big time for resurrecting his career, I think wade was the main culprit... he has always been a great player, but his best days were not in the heat uniform

Stop, this is ridiculous

JB owes us for resurrecting his career? LOL!!!! I think we owe him for getting us to the finals in 2020 and ECF this year…

Name a time I’ve lied or stalked someone if it’s well established lmao

No I’m with you, not making the obvious move of bringing in Mitchell was terrible. Internal growth won’t be enough

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Jimmy has been the leader in one of this organizations best 3 year stints in history, just had an historic playoff run that compares to even those of Wade and LeBron and we didn’t go all in to improve the team and win a championship for him. When you’re a sliver away from a championship but see a clear improvement needed for the team that’s the time to go all in! Mitchell brings exactly what we missed in these last playoffs, elite offensive production in the playoffs.

This isn’t even factoring in everything else that goes Mitchell heavily to Miami.

[Heat_Down_Under]

Man I’ve seen it all on this board now…. Missing out on durant and Mitchell is one thing, saying Herro or bam is crap is another but to target Jimmy now is just wrong… and don’t get me started on the posts that have said we will be fine running it back if yurt has a break out year (after everyone was happy for him to ride the bench all season) and for dipo to return to almost all star level… let me repeat it again SHAMBLES!!

[3ballbomber]

I'm excited for our season. It's nvr been solely about titles for me. I love to watch our guys, see how hard we fight through obstacles & see how far we come. It's icing on the cake if we make ECF/Finals. Move on & get on w/ basketball.

[Kobewade11]

Do people not understand it takes two sides to make a deal? We cant simply “choose” to bring in any player we want, their team has to want what we are selling. I cant wait for camp to open and all this whining and crying is outta yalls systems.

[BFRESH44]

These fan made narratives are comedy. “Get JimMY mOAR heLP”

The help is on the roster. They just all need to play better. Did the Heat not go out and sign and trade for Lowry, the Godfather to his daughter? And pay him 85 million last season? He needs come in healthy and in shape, and do what he was acquired to do. Is Bam not a max player? He needs to assert himself offensively, and show another level of shot creating ability. In actual NBA games, and not at Miami Pro-AM. Tyler Herro? Gotta show he’s a consistent night in/night out starter, and show marked improvement and awareness on the defensive end.

And from there you got some relatively quality Supporting pieces:, Oladipo (major wild card) , Caleb, Strus, Gabe, Duncan, Dedmon.


We’ve got a good team, man. Not a consensus Vegas favorite, but a real good team nonetheless. If you deluded yourself thinking some seismic trade for a star was realistic based on what the Heat could realistically trade, that’s on you bubba. They will be in the fight.

[MorbidHEAT]

What a mess. Thank God its officially over. Every team In the east either got healthier or better. If Herro, Oladipo, Lowry, Duncan, Bam, etc all improve, we can still be one of the top seeds. At this point, we can also just as easily be in the play in. Who knows.
