Official Miami Heat Off-Season GT - Saving you from IggieCC

Dragic does not fit the youth movement the Pelicans are going with. How do these hacks come up with this stuff

I don't know if it's just a wild rumor or true at this point but Dragic to NO makes sense for them. You don't go full on youth movement, you have to have some vets to help teach them the way, it's a big reason they signed JJ Redick last year. Maybe they want someone like Dragic to help teach L.Ball how to run the offense better? If the Pelicans are all about developing Zion, adding Dragic does make short term sense, he'd have a very good pick and roll PG to help develop his game.

That being said, here's the argument that Miami is wanting to retain Dragic...

Ummm yeah that dude saw Beno. Gogi is still in Slovenia I believe hence why we spammed his area with billboards.

[eddieheatfan]

We just put up billboards all over Lithuania to say "Dragic we're your second family come back to us". You'd have to be a (Please Use More Appropriate Word) to think we did that only to trade him to New Orleans for **** Lonzo Ball.

yeah no to gonzo ball

The scum is behind it all imho

[insfo]

And in this age of smart phones, how do you "see" someone and not have video or photo evidence of the same?? Just some local hack trying to drum up some news. I found that one comment from someone responding to the original tweet asking if he was sure he saw Dragic or Beno and that's the reason I posted that here.

A really good interview with some insight on Precious from Memphis coach Penny Hardaway.

[gom]

While I agree gom there’s also a risk in this kind of thinking. This is why we gave all those 4 years deals out in 2018. We thought we’d rehabilitated their careers and that the contracts would have positive value. The ended up not being true. Same could happen with Jae if we put ourselves in a position where we’re desperate to move him.

I agree Pat overpaid for Dion Waiters & James Johnson, but to be fair, the onus was on the players to perform. Waiters's ankle injury and the time required to rehabilitate was a disaster he compounded with his unprofessional behavior in the last season. James Johnson, too, never performed at the same level. Had they been signed for MLE values, though, we could have moved them much easier.

The real joke was Hassan, and I have nothing to say there. Whatever you say, you are probably right. His fat contract helped us get Butler in on the S&T though, so that's something too.

Even so, it's important to point out that we moved Waiters & JJ for the cost of only Winslow (which seems a lot less now because of his constant injuries) and still brought back players who were important in our run. Doesn't Pat get credit for the end of the deal or do we just look at one side?

My point is we needed the trade ballast JJ and Waiters provided and the Heat FO never despaired as much as the fans did. If we sign Meyers, Crowder, and Jones to moveable deals, I think we should applaud them. Just don't overpay.

The best answer.

The love for Dragić is real.

Ibaka just got on a red and black plane operated by Fontainebleau Aviation based in Miami. Anyone know if the Heat use this airline?

Didn't someone tweet a few days ago that he was spotted in Miami? Maybe he's leaving. I could be wrong. Hope I'm wrong and he's coming.

Greg Sylvander also liked Ibaka's tweet

Read on Twitter

Plus he mentioned in the latest 5 on the floor that we would possibly be trading Olynyk and Nunn for another big man.

Also mentioned that Ibaka had been training in Miami.

But could also possibly be him going back to Toronto with the talk that Van Vleet is re-signing with Toronto

Hope he's not getting on another team's jet before free agency starts. Looks like Toronto Raptor colors to me.

Well if that's a team jet then it's definitely not ours.

[twix2500]

we got baby ibaka in Achiuwa

[insfo]

So the action starts in 40 minutes?

[BenoUdrihFTL]

I doubt that's any team's plane. Miami's is a 727 and I assume it's the same for other teams
