Butler for Beal would set this franchise back for years. Beal doesn't lead teams he has played on to winning seasons. Don't do it. Nurkic cannot win with Durant, Beal and Booker. Don't wan't nothing to do with him either. Just empty stat guys.

We don’t want no part of a Beal and Herro backcourt. That chit is not going to work. Beal and Booker did not work and they had to go out and get Tyus Jones to play point. Now they are looking for a true 3 cause Booker is a two and Beal is too undersized to play the 3. Stop trying to fit square pegs into round holes. We are not bailing out the Suns poor roster construction to further compound our own roster construction issues.

If Jimmy goes we need a real PG back. Some of the recent proposed trades especially for Beal have been hot garbage.

We may not have a choice but to swallow the Beal deal. It’s now about getting whatever you can for Jimmy.

Can still see the Heat holding onto him since we need to finish top 15 to retain our pick and avoid the devastating snowball effect if we don’t

As I’ve been saying Christmas is the deadline on making a decision on Butler future. Heat will not shop Butler, that narrative means they are letting Butler do the shopping. Out of respect heat will send him west to one of his desired destination but those teams have to make a offer the Heat wants. The Butler era is over.

Pat needs to go too, he fumbled this build terribly. 1 shot from 3 finals trips in 5 years and never at any point showed any urgency to upgrade the roster

Acting like the top reporter in the world (now that Woj stepped down) is making up fake reports for clicks is an insane coping mechanism :lol:

When Butler is traded like other Heat players will be involved. The question now is who the Heat trying to set themselves up to acquire after the Butker deal is done


I would suspect it’s Fox

They really just try and be on the right side of the guess and when it hits it’s the see I told you so lol. I do believe Barry probably called Bernie Lee or someone close and got the info he just tweeted.

They will try and get players to keep the team competitive and make the playoffs. Tanking is not the answer this year

Shams and Stephen A Smith on ESPN say Jimmy is frustrated that Pat could never add another star.

Heat will make the playoffs with or without Butler, that’s not the hard part. Unless a injury happens to Bam or Herro
