Not looking like we are making a move for a SF. Winslow-J Rich-McGruder it is. I could live with that. We do desperately need another PG tho. We currently have one roster spot left

C Hassan Whiteside C Kelly Olynyk C AJ Hammons
PF James Johnson PF Bam Adebayo C/PF Udonis Haslem
SF Josh Richardson SF Justise Winslow SF Okaro White
SG Dion Waiters SG Wayne Ellington SG/SF Rodney McGruder
PG Goran Dragic PG Tyler Johnson PG (15) open roster spot

Just a few alterations:

C Hassan Whiteside PF Bam Adebayo C AJ Hammons
PF Kelly Olynyk PF James Johnson C/PF Udonis Haslem
SF Justise Winslow SF Josh Richardson SF Okaro White
SG Dion Waiters SG Wayne Ellington SG/SF Rodney McGruder
PG Goran Dragic PG Tyler Johnson PG (15) open roster spot

Olynyk is replacing Babbitt, that's a clear upgrade. He is also better than J. Johnson so the minutes will be split more evenly between the two of them vs how they were split between JJ and Babbitt.

Winslow should be replacing McGruder as the starting SF. He is longer and more athletic. This is the year for Winslow to prove he was worth a top 10 draft pick. His 3 pt shooting and FT shooting have to improve dramatically but his athleticism and defense are an upgrade.

It would be great to see Winslow and Adebayo become key contributors by the end of the season.

We're really lacking an elite scorer. Perhaps a midseason trade?

Prediction: 48-34 (4th seed)

It's not weird. Maybe we wants to be next to his son who's going to Toledo and it also offers UD a good shot at a chip. You never know. Maybe both parties mutually splitting.

I understand Haslem is old and doesn't do anything but he is the heart and soul of this team. It's like seeing Dan Marino play for the Patriots, Bills, or FTJs.

Games like this crap that Lebron pulled, Wade pulled, Haslem may be pulling, and Athletes in today's day and age are pulling making me hate this game and other sports as I get older. Call me old school, but sometimes I wish there wasn't social media. Just sign the contract or keep it private and move on, stop using the fanbase as leverage. :banghead:

Maybe this is what UD wants tho. His camp is the one putting all this information out.

i love UD, if he wants to sit on the bench and watch cle lose to golden state, have fun man.

We all know damn well that UD should be coaching. He has no business taking up a roster spot from a development prospect.

He wont be taking any more roster spots in Miami heat 15 man roster. Coaching position or anything else is fine, but if he feels like he can still play, go forth and do your thing he deserves it after all especially how hard he works. Those roster spots need to start being put to use on molding young talent.

i dont mind him being on the roster, he is the life and blood of the team imo. when UD says something, winslow, jrich, tj, mcgruder, whiteside, everyone, listens. and tbh, some of our guys need a babysitter

Ignore everything until the contracts are signed...it'll save you the stress

Its possible that the HEAT believe JJ can fill that role now.
