A fantastic tank gm. Has everybody fooled.
If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

Dylan Harper. He would be our dream PG


Late night homework on this guy. This dude moves at his own speed. Ron Harpers son. Reminds me of Kawai Leonard. The kid has all the skillset. 6'10 wingspan, solid build. This guy is special.

We really are stealth tanking.


Yup. The article is vry telling. Im usually full of fight w/ our team & nvr give in regardless of the situation. But the last two games im feeling a very different energy w/ this team. This gm particularly i saw a much diff vibe.

While everybody’s losing their minds, not typical of Heat fans after a loss, i see it clearly….we aren’t trying to win these gm’s. While most see a horrible team i see a team, who historically don’t like to tank, are doing exactly that & doing it in brilliant fashion. We simply didn’t give a sh*t about this gm.

You really think we lose against this Hornets team if we played for real? You really think Bam, as solid as he’s playing, will air ball that 3 if we were truly surging for a playoff push? We simply don’t lose a bounce back gm vs a horrible team if playoffs really meant something to us. You really think a coach of Spo’s calibre, coaching staff around him cant figure out why we’re losing all these 4Q’ers? You really think our coaches don’t know playing Ware in the 4th is effective? You Heat fans really think this team is that atrociously horrible?

Miami Heat stealth tank gm on another level right now. Has everyone fooled.

Im down for the tank.

Please stop with the cope. Heat just suck right now, not intentionally tanking. Spo's expression at the podium makes it look like he’s getting only three hours of sleep a night; the man is clearly stressed.

The energy in the post-game interviews, with each player seeming checked out and no trust between them, is tough to watch. But honestly, I’m kind of okay with the losses since it gives us a better shot at a lottery pick.

Yeah this ain’t no real tank. This is just a depressing downfall of a team that’s lost all confidence and is dealing with it mentally. The team has taken on the image of Spo and that’s of a coach who looks absolutely burned out. If we are tanking then it’s time to give Keshad, Christopher, and Stevens a look for the future.

Heat would’ve benefited from a veteran star starter who can control the pace of the game and defense needed to be more tighter.

And I wanted to let you guys know warriors are 12-1 since jimmy butler joined the Warriors. Was a 11th seeded team before Jimmy and Warriors are now 6th seeded. Just FYI.

Gonna agree with others. This ain’t a tank, you’re just watching a group of players that have no interest in competing because they think/know they’re not good enough to compete in the playoffs. There was still a small hope with Jimmy on the roster, but that’s gone now.
For a long time it gave me nightmares,witnessing an injustice like that.It’s a constant reminder of just how unfair this world can be.I can still hear them taunting him, Silly Rabbit tricks are for kids.I mean why couldn’t they just give him some cereal?

Harper wont be any good for like 3-5 years.

By then Bam's body will be broken down and Wiggins will be washed away.

You're better off recasting your dream team with players (like Harper) who arent currently on the team.

Spos up late at night praying to god for answers on why playing Terry so much isn’t working and why running the offense through Wiggins Duncan and Terry isn’t yielding better results than his best players

Please tell me you aren't the kind of dude who stalks your ex's IG lol. GSW is on a different timeline.

Front office did the right thing moving on. Signing him to the deal he wanted would've severely handicapped MIA future flexibility....and we weren't winning **** with him down the road especially with BOS & CLE around.

This logically makes no sense considering we got back Wiggins who is taking up a good chunk of the so call cap space and flexibility we allegedly wanted. Then add Jovic extension, Mitchell and his extension and magically all of that flexibility like poof vanishes.

This is wild, Wiggins has been terrible. If anything he’s holding Herro and Bam back with his inefficient chucking, those reps need to be going to them.

He has not been a good fit with this group at all. I thought he was a better ball handler but it’s shaky. He’s a complimentary player but he’s not complimenting this group very well. We need our SF to essentially be a point forward but it’s something he’s not. It magnifies us not having a scoring and creative PG that much more. He was perfectly fine complimenting Curry and Klay.


He has been terrible, I’m ripping my hair out watching this dude chuck up heavily contested jumpers and leading the team in shot attempts every night. It’s sickening

one thing with Wiggins is he is a replacement level offensive player that do not make others better. He is ok playing with Curry who is all time great offense talent but when you dont have that kinda superstar he will suffer. If you looked at his career aside from 1 year he has been negative offense every season. Career Ortg 104 is rough...

It's a great opportunity for the Heat to evaluate who wants to be here and who doesn't. Anyone who can't buy in and persevere isn't anyone we should want around.

There's nothing surprising about this. If we didn't fail over and over again to put a star next to Jimmy we'd of probably won a title. But we did and it became time to move on. The Warriors made the most sense I thought to trade for him right off the bat and they eventually did and now it's paying off as I thought it would.

You missed adding KD backing up Jagsmith (I'm assuming that's who HS is?) from the second row bench :)
