2025 Miami Heat Regular Season Thread

[Kobewade11]

omg I'm just now getting a chance to catch up on news

stop talking Rozier BS drama ... Let's Just.
Talk basketball ... What do you say posters??

We can potentially get a draft pick back and have huge cap savings come from this..

Trust me Andy and Mickey are popping a bottle somewhere.

Miami isn’t getting a pick back, my boy.

Stop with the shenanigans

Yo mama is a shenanigan.

In all seriousness, maybe you're right but his did occurr while he was playing for you guys. If the FBI discovers your FO knew about this and traded him to us anyway...well, we'll cross that bridge if/when we get there.

"Rozier has been implicated for the Hornets- Pelicans game, in which he pulled himself early from the contest, a move that was allegedly preplanned. Law enforcement claims $200,000 was wagered across a variety of sportsbooks on his prop bet unders" via cbs sports.

Yeah I'm gonna need that pick back + more.

That only works if we weren't informed about the investigation. The investigation into him concluded in January of 2023. We acquired him on January 23, 2023. Unless we weren't informed of the investigation, which I find hard to believe, it looks to me like we waited for the results of the investigation before making the trade.

The Hornets and the league would have had to have kept the information from us in order for us to get our pick back.

We're not getting our pick back.

Off topic slightly, i am almost sure the FBI held onto this information for months, waiting for the NBA season to begin, to make these announcements and arrests.

Release the Epstein files.

dont hold your breath on the later because big ppl is involved. many ceo's and even dignitaries and more... when you see the likes of prince andrew being involved the list is deep

[MiamiLoyal926]

I don’t want to wish this on him, just because we have been dissatisfied with his performance… but if dude was really throwing games for bets, that ish pisses me off as a fan. I want the game to be pure and real, and this only taints the purity of the game.

If he is guilty of it, then he should be penalized accordingly, and we should be relieved of carrying a player that is in record for throwing games for financial benefit.

If he is innocent, then I do not wish a witch hunt on him just for selfish reasons.

Rozier may be guilty as sin, but the lawyer does have a point about the perp walk. Unless you have reason to suspect a flight risk, allowing someone to surrender is the better way to go about this. Innocent till proven guilty. Perp walks like this are solely for optics.

What a great name for a lawyer!

Just get rid of him.
We thought we were getting Hornets version of Terry but instead we got Scary Gambling Terry

We will but we have to play this by the league's rules if we want to void the contract.

League has to move fast on this and say with the new information provided they were not privy too i in prior investigation and void Rozier.

[3ammy3uck3ts]

I believe we should be rewarded Wemby for this whole debacle.

Think about what you’re typing for a minute…. Why would the Hornets knowingly do that?

[contract]

You can't void a $26 million guaranteed contract based on an accusation.

Hornets probably committed some type of elder fraud when they scammed Riley into giving them a pick. I want their whole front office thrown in jail.

I can't believe we gave up a first round pick for someone who had just been investigated for throwing games and gambling to begin with.

Idk if we for sure will not get a pick back. The investigation is likely to take a long time so we won't know any time soon. Also unless they are detaining him or asking for some type of injunction to not allow him to play while this is going on, I don't see the contract being voided either. Any compensation we get on either part will be well into the future.

From a simple legal and basic common sense standpoint it makes little sense for the League to do this. At this point this will be litigated in the court. It is important to remember that right now all we have is an arrest not a conviction. Terry will be off the books at the end of this season before this even goes to trial making all of this a moot point from the Heats perspective.

[Wiltside]

What a shambles. No matter which way you slice it, this is a terrible look for the NBA.

The pick has sailed, we aren’t getting that back. Best we can get is the contract voided and see if we can move that into something at the deadline.

I believe we should be rewarded Wemby for this whole debacle.

We have Wemby at home, temu Wemby and spo won't even play him lol. I noticed in that monstar named Wemby's highlights that Spurs' coach paired him up with Luke Kornet who is 7'1 during various stretches during the game. Meanwhile, heat refuse to play more than one 6'9+ guy at time and or opts to have multiple <6'8 dudes in the front court.

Still can't get over it, Spo kinda accidentally discovered or really implemented the small ball scheme due to Bosh's injury in '12, moving Bron/Battier to the 4 and it was effective but that was 13 years ago. League has adapted, multiple teams are running 3 man 6'10-7'1 frontcourts or hell have their whole lineup be over 6'10 ala Rockets and Spo still believes downsizing is the way to go after years of getting crushed on the boards/interior.

Both finals losses, '20 and '23 the opposition partly won because Heat were too small and got bullied inside. Years later, the Heat are gifted a stud athletic center and instead of letting him play through mistakes as we have the youngest roster we've had in decades... STILL has an ultra thin leash on him, tentative to play him consistently.

Can we even use him as salary filler in a trade now?
