It just goes to show that the Heat front office never wanted Durant.. but pretended they did to appease the toxic fans at Heat twitter. Now everyone can say they were outbid by Houston, and the Heat didnt lose a player they like.


Im in disbelief for the mere fact that.. ive been a fan since the early 90s…

I remember we traded Glen Rice who was one of the NBA’s iron men like Bridges is today, rarely missed a game, there were seasons he played 82 games, and he was a big time player for us.

We traded him, reeves who was a lottery pick and only a season in and a first round pick for Alonzo Mourning.

The following season We traded kevin willis who was as solid of a big man as you can have at the 4/5 for Tim Hardaway.

Traded away Odom and Caron and a first for Shaq, and we know how instrumental and continuity odom and caron had on Wade’s rookie season.

You saw what we did from 2008-2009 to make way for the 2010 offseason and grab chris and lebron here


That is the Heat Culture i grew up on. We always were aggressive, no matter the result.

Now we get too attached with rotation/bench talent like Tyler Johnson, Gabe Vincent, Caleb Martin, Max Strus, Jovic, Jaime..

We overpay some of these guys like Duncan Robinson, Dion Waiters, James Johnson.

We now place untouchable tags on guys like Tyler Herro. He cant be traded, theyre ready to put a statue of Herro in front of Wade with the way they treat him. Ima say it right now Tyler Herro can only wish he has a career like Glen Rice. 5 years in and hes not even close to Glen as an all time Heat player. He definitely does not have the durability of Glen Rice.

You buy a Heat ticket and you knew Glen was going to play, period.


So thats my frustration with this front office, they have accepted mediocrity. Theyre trying to sell to the rest of the league, Herro is the man here, his sidekick Bam (who is actually better than Herro) defers to him, come join and play second fiddle to Herro.

God ima throw up if we give him an extension.

So, if I’m understanding correctly, we had the chance to get Durant for basically a bag of doritos and a diet pepsi, but we made Jovic and Ware untouchable? I’m not too upset that we didn’t get KD, but that sounds about right.

And now we are focused on the Kings. I wonder how badly we will lowball them.

It appears the Heat are entertaining taking on Monk contract in return for something or someone else they want

At this point, Im confident in our drafting skills. If we draft WCJ over another guy, then thats bcuz he was the best prospect for us.

the only way a Sacramento deal works where we give up pick 20 and expirings is if we are getting at least 1 of those ‘27 picks.

Unfair to compare Herro to Rice. Rice was an early lottery pick and much older/experienced coming in. Also remember that Riley had no history with Rice. Just that preseason. Very easy to get rid of him. Kurt Thomas was drafted before Riley was hired. Never one of his guys so he got rid of him too. Everyone but Keith Askins was shipped out to bring in his own guys.

Wiltside wrote:Yes to Devin Carter. If the Kings aren’t sold, I’d take him for 20 and bank on us unlocking him like we have with Davion.

Monk would be a good add too. Another creative on ball player with some real shot making ability. Plus he’s a Kentucky boy.


Wouldnt even need Davion.

Carter capable of giving Davion production immediately, and is cheaper, and has a higher ceiling, imo.

Any player can be compared to anyone, and Herro is not Glen. And he is most definitely not Dwyane Wade. Hell he isnt Hardaway.

let’s stop pretending he is that caliber of a player, and sell high from his ONE big season where he flopped in the playoffs.

And lets get back to the real heat culture. Not this “loyalty” culture which has never been true since my whole lifetime. Tell Wade about Heat loyalty.

It’s about championships, period.

I wouldn't be upset if we chose WCJ or Fleming. WCJ would be great because he knows how to dribble a basketball. We don't have many on our current roster that can do that without committing a huge amount of TOs.

Return to Miami Heat
