Look at Bam..and mfs want to make excuses like his hands aren't dirty here too

Sell. High.

Trade him..

Defensive of the year candidate, big guy.. olympic gold medals.. all star..

Sell high.. and get as much as you can .. do not set your franchise back because of some weird loyalty to kentucky basketball

You’re not going to get a lot for a guy who seems like he peaked four years ago.

Cooper Flagg wasn’t even gonna save this team

Well that's a whole other debate but I don't see future top 10 player in the league when I watch him play. And that's what it would take to fix this roster.

Go after Giannis and get the Gyro stands ready baby for wtv the arena is named now

Honestly though almost halftime and not even 30 points yet in today's era that's just lack of pride. Cavs aren't that much better, team has straight up quit. Embarrassing to see, but it gives the front office carte blanche to move everyone at least.

The way I see it….this is the best case scenario. Riley & Arison can’t hide behind “we’re a piece away anymore” after this.

A combination of lack of assets and FO arrogance led to this atrocity, namely trying to strong arm Jimmy instead of just trading him in the offseason when you knew you weren’t gonna extend him (rightfully so by the way, & Lord knows what we could’ve gotten for him).

Yeah that Heat culture arrogance needs to end. They think they're too good to take a step or they can win with anyone on the roster. Even good organizations tank to get ahead.

Bruh I swear we lost every game we wore those culture jerseys lol

Nah he still still has great value.

If you're Spo what do you even do at halftime? Do you go JJ Redick and play your starters the entire second half, or do you just load the team on the bus to beat the traffic?

Nope. Empty the bench. Lakers were playing to win. This squad quit. I almost don't want them in a heat uniform again. I hate quitters. That's why I was so mad at LeBron after 2011 finals.

Nah LeBron threw those Finals. Which is even worse, and why he will forever be hated by me.

Yeah he suddenly "forgot" how to post up against midgets. Watched that bonehead in what, 07? walk down the Pistons by himself with a garbage squad, greatest basketball performance over a series I've ever seen. It made me say if this is the player he is, he's gonna be the greatest of all time quick af. Then suddenly forgets how to play in the post against midgets because Wade was trending for finals MVP.

He wants nothing to do with this mess. He's going to Brooklyn or staying in Milwaukee.

Cooper Flagg wasn’t even gonna save this team

Yes he was. I would trade the whole roster for Cooper.
Cooper gives you 15 years to build a roster around him. Once you get that no 1 option, the rest of pieces are easier to get. You have Cooper on the roster, players are coming to Miami to play with him.

Exactly my point… you want to gut out the whole team and bring more stars in to play with cooper… but he isn’t saving “this team”

Jimmy package in playoff form eh

[Tim_Hardawayy]

Seriously though, for those who think this is the worst thing ever, I promise you losing on an Allan Houston runner and then a Clarence Weatherspoon brick back to back years, followed by the heart and soul of your team who just had a runner up MVP season going down to kidney disease, followed by getting completely waxed in the playoffs by an utterly mediocre Hornets squad led by two of your former players (Mash/P.J.) and B-diddy, felt worse. That was an absolute gut punch, going from thinking you're so close to breaking through only to have it all taken away and get crushed.

This is more like coming back to reality, realizing conditioning isn't enough in the playoffs if the talent ain't there. Embarrassing, but certainly not entirely unexpected.

EDIT: Imagine if we traded Jimmy to the Cavs, and we were a top 3 seed in the conference and the Cavs were considered big underdogs, and Jimmy and the Cavs kicked our ass. THAT was what happened in 2001. It was so much worse I promise you.

Glad I got me some papa johns after the 2nd play in game. Didn't want to wait until next season

I don't understand why Brooklyn is the fave they have picks ok but that Org hasn't proved anything and they suck more than us.

Is it cause of the Greek population here?

[DorianRo]

Heat will be alright.. Just need a new front office and a coach with the some grit. Spo is too friendly. Its south beach, recruitment shouldn't be hard

[DayofMourning]

We need 2 generational players and an allstar and we should be good.

Was there some kinda deal ? lol

[Vertical Limit]

Im done watching..

Bench bam herro wiggins jjj jovic ware in the second half. We dont need them injured, we need them healthy for the trade block

[Heat3]

Jimmy package in playoff form eh

Jimmy is broken and going to be playing hurt from here on out.
Jimmy package playing terrible.
Dame package playing terrible.
Dame broken too.

This would have been Heat's fate no matter what road they took.

He has a bunch of businesses there or something. Idk. But there's nothing here for him to be attracted to.

Wade against the Pistons in 05 was better, and it was when the Pistons still had an incredible, best in the league D. But I agree with everything else.

Honestly, the 2011 finals made me look at Wade differently too. He just fell in line behind LeBron after that, took it on the chin. And then again when LeBron purposefully screwed us on his way out (even though I still disagree with Riley taking that out on Wade).

Yooo I got me papa johns after that game too. Pretty much the only reason I wanted the Heat to win this season. They needed a high draft pick.
