Yup, like they need another break. Losing Butler seems to be worse than expected

I've never wanted to punch someone in the face so badly. Really hoping to run into him at a game one day. I won't hesitate.

It would just be concerning to me that a team lead by Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro cannot make the playoffs in the East. I don't care if neither are 'alphas' or #1 scoring options - they are still all-star caliber players and should be able to mull a team to at least 40 wins in a weaker conference.
If they cannot do that, we have bigger issues to worry about and one star acquisition will not solve our problems in the offseason.

Im still under the full impression that some of the guys are worn out. Bam & JJJ have played all way the way thru since last summer. Jovic too technically, but he gets a break now.
You have a rookie that Heat NEED to play, but hes also a rookie and just not up to speed. Duncan dont even seem right. Only guys really playing are Bam & Herro. Thats just not enough.
Its one of those seasons that can fuel people for the next one. Heat will make the play-in, then its whatever from there.
Heat got pieces but theyre missing something or someone, heart, toughness? Who knows

Team needs a major talent influx. Trading multiple assets for one star player this offseason is not going to cut it. I’m fine taking two really good high upside talents next year and keeping them. Skipping out on the 2026 draft that goes to OKC. Trade low ceiling Jaquez with Rozier and Duncan for more young vet reinforcements to strengthen the bench. Maybe even something along the lines of Collins and Sexton if we get rebuffed on Young. I’ll pass on old Durant at this point unless he comes cheap.

We failed at even the basic minimum. How close are we to the repeater tax?
Is there any way we can still get below the tax level this season?
