I can see Pop wanting Iggy and Okpala.

Maybe. We'll see what happens in the next 45 minutes with Iggy.


Whom ever is leaking this info needs to chill.

They should just decline his team option and then S&T for the minimum needed to make a trade go through. There's no reason it has to 15 million, it could be 5 or 10 especially if he's just filler and will be bought out.

It depends on what DeRozan wants for a contract.

It seems like Lowry is working as an agent for the Heat right now and recruiting OGs

This is interesting because it's possible you can get Lowry, DeRozan and even Butler to take cuts in their upcoming contacts and extension to play together. Lowry may take a lower contract to go to Miami than NO, DeRozan may play ball to make sure he gets to play with Lowry and Butler and of course Butler may take a cut in his extension to make it all happen.

I think Heat and DeRozan have a contract number in agreement. This likely about what Spurs would want.

Or the Heat can just wait until 2023 and sign this amazing individual that would love to be in Miami.

Minute 15:40 Lowry, Butler, and DeRozan all on floor together. Coach K played them with DeAndre Jordan and Draymond Green.

so tragic and iggy are gone. i feel bad for goran because he has been a pretty solid player for the heat til last season but changes must be made but not for just changing jerseys but for improving the team.


bringing more older players to the mix wont fix a thing.


the heat needs tall players, so that they can rebound better

solid pgs so that they can distribute the ball better

solid power forwards so that they can score better


better centers so they can be shot blockers


overall better players that will play with heart ands purpose to win.

I’m preparing for more slow paced basketball.

And unless they get more rebounding, Mia either better shoot a high fg% or get to the line a ton to compensate.

When are we getting Lamarcus Aldridge too? I think the Heat have the inside track on "older is better". They see what Tom Brady is doing at 50 years of age, and are going to try and replicate it.

Return to Miami Heat
