Miami HEAT Offseason/Trades/FA Thread: Sardine Central 2.0

[fsuizzy]

Radio in NYC saying Waiters eager to sign with Knicks and be closer to family in Jersey, and friends he made at Syracuse.

We shall see. The Knicks are going nowhere. But they have to sign someone.....

He is using the Knicks to drive up the price on his contract.

[Enso]

As long as we retain JJ im a happy camper, Dion is gravy. I'd be happy with throwing Winslow into the fire tbh and seeing what he's got.

Dragic
TJ
Winslow
JJ
Hassan

Bench:
J Rich
Ellington
Babbit
Bam
etc.

Winslow and JJ switching on D would be amazing

[LordRiley]

Can someone summon wAtchout or IndoorOutdoor? We need to know what's next.

the knicks can have him tbh. hes a good volume scorerbut offers little else besides buckets and not at an efficient rate. this season was an anomaly for him, heat fans myself included like to think he improves and builds upon it but if he goes to NYK that same system is not in place in fact that franchise right now is in need of a total rebuild. I'd rather the heat take a flyer on another reclamation project like ben mclemore or even tyreke evans.

so thats what took so long gordon damn near wrote a short story

meh .. I'm sure the story was written weeks ago. He just needed 6 hours to write the paragraph about how sorry he was that the media broke the story before he could...yeah, how free agency works in 2017. Could he be any more beta?

He didn't go to college to play school just ask Brad Stevens that.

They are going Dark until next year but most likely the next few seasons...

[Daffy]

Oh well. On to the next.

[insfo]

So is he taking less than the max? If not, whom are the Celts trading away to make room?

[SlowPaced]

we were in this boat 3 years ago with lebron i know how it feels

I think the situation is quite different.

LeBron leaving hurt, but we already had won two titles. We weren't an up and coming team. And to be honest I expected him to leave, so I was prepared.

Jazz didn't make the Playoffs for five years, finally built a good young team and made the Playoffs, went to the 2nd round and boom, Gordon Hayward leaves the team. That **** sucks.

[SpacelyH]

Good thing Winslow is going to get better this season. Time to play that boy TJ at starting SG if Dion leaves.

[DayofMourning]

Hayward is a good player and will make Boston better. They have a team full of SFs now though, so it looks like they'll be committing fully to small ball.

As fas Dion goes, I'm not interested in investing big in him. He's got the ego we need but I'm scared away by the inefficiency.

These types of FA swings and misses are exactly why I wanted more draftees. Paying 30 million to a fringe all star is tough. Wonder if thats what took us out of the running...offering less money for a better chance at resigning our own guys and increasing our chances at fielding a more talented team.

Trade TJ horrible contract...
Maybe trade Dragic while you still can...sell high.
Build around Hassan.
Try to get Lebron next year.
Hope the Cap Goes up a bit.
Build around Lebron and Hassan.

[batterybro42]

Guys if Waiters goes, that mean next year is a lost cause.....

Which means the setup for 2003 draft class retirement program is upon us aka operation Banana boat

Lock and load boys, the 2018 off-season begins now

I'd gladly absorb Crowder for them.

[SlowPaced]

I don't see the Celtics beating the Cavaliers, even with Hayward added. They have nobody to guard LeBron.

[Grumpy Heat Fan]

It's time.

So is he taking less than the max? If not, whom are the Celts trading away to make room?

I'd gladly absorb Crowder for them.

And a pick for our troubles?

[Daffy]

That article doesn't seem like someone who was undecided. Stevens made it clear for him? He trolled the whole of Utah. His Parents retweeted that Stayward stuff. Interesting
