Heat are above the pace I expected of them this month. I thought they'd beat Dallas and PHX. They might surprise and win 3 games this month.

When Dragic comes back we are going to have a very healthy backcourt rotation. Imagine Dragic getting all of McGruder's minutes

Looking forward to it. Can't wait to see Justise go back to where he belongs, on the bench. He just needs to know his role and stand in the corner for catch and shoot threes.

They've played well depsite the losses. The Denver game doesn't count. And they should get a boost once Dragic comes back. I think its 50/50 they make the playoffs. Just don't see them being bad enough to get higher in the draft, which is a shame.

Wade playing 22 min with no closing is perfect.

Just need to place 9th and get super lucky in the lotto. No other options with this group.

Spo has to let this chemistry with Waiters, Winslow, and J Rich ride out. Wade and Spo need to have a talk with Dragic about forming a potent bench unit together. Dragic is coming off an injury and should be able to be sold with being brought along slowly off the bench. If things are clicking and we are winning i think Dragic will be fine taking a back seat to Winslow. I think they have a great relationship. Winslow looks up to Dragic.

This is a contract year for dragic tho and if the plan moving forward is to have him come off the bench, he may decide to opt out and get one last good deal rather than lower his value as a bench player.

That's fine. That's 18 million off the cap sheet when we already have our future starting at PG. I honestly wouldnt mind resigning Dragic to that longer term fair deal if he agrees to bench role.

Agreed. Not sure Waiters is part of the future either tho. Too much of an injury risk. Especially with demonOP

Everyone keeps doubting Waiters. He's also locked in long term deal and is probably worth more to us right now then what someone is willing to pay for him. He's still only 27. That's still prime age. Let him keep proving the doubters wrong.

Waiters has been nothing but good to us when he suits up in a Heat uniform. Ankle injury derailed him. People still treat him like Cavs Mion.

I don’t doubt his skill set, I doubt his ability to stay healthy. Especially with demonOP.

Winslow really coming into his own. Really blossoming with Philly Cheese. Think Dion takes a lot of pressure away from him.
