1) How many wins will the Heat have in the 2019-2020 season? 47

2) Will we make the playoffs this year? If yes - what seed will we be? Yes, 4

3) Who will be our top 4 leading scorers, and what will their PPG be? If we acquire other players, I reserve right to edit this Butler (22.5), Winslow (16), Bam (14), Waiters (13)

4) Who will be our best overall new addition (new at Miami)? Jimmy, duh

5) Who will be our best overall young player (not including Dion)? Bam (Dion is young?)

6) Which player will make the biggest improvement from last year? I'm gonna go off the board, Meyers Leonard

7) Who will be the biggest disappointment? KZ Okpala, because I don't think he'll get a ton of PT early. Runner up JJ, I think he is done

8) What trades will we end up doing during the year (or even before the season starts)? BEAL PLEASE

9) What will be the biggest surprise of the season? (positive or negative or both) Goran/Waiters play well

10) What will our board posters write about Spo once this season is over? Love this guy

11) Predict a nice/interesting statistical nugget you can see happening with the team or a player. Tyler Herro will be one of the best rookies from an analytical standpoint

12) Predict the weirdest moment of the season. Heat back to back: we beat a finals contender and lose to a bottom 5 team

13) Predict a RealGM Heat-board development you expect to see with a long time poster/s. Our record of GT's made by Iggie will be worse than our record of GT's made by all others

14) What will you consider a success/failure this year? Natural growth of Bam, Herro, Winslow, KZ. Win 1 playoff series would be huge success. Missing playoffs is disaster

15) What will be the biggest factor to impact our success or failure this year? Our bench. Waiters/Herro/DJJ/JJ/Meyers could be one of the best benches in the league but could also be a disaster


16) Bonus playoff question - How far will we get in the playoffs and how will our season end? We win 4-5 matchup, lose to #1 seed in 6 games

9) What will be the biggest surprise of the season? (positive or negative or both)

Herro becomes a rotation player. Dion is healthy and plays well.

10) What will our board posters write about Spo once this season is over?

Same thing they write every year, Spobot, player not getting minutes needs minutes etc

11) Predict a nice/interesting statistical nugget you can see happening with the team or a player.

Justise is only player to average his ppg, rpg, apg and 3pt%.

13) Predict a RealGM Heat-board development you expect to see with a long time poster/s.

Meh

14) What will you consider a success/failure this year?

Either making a leap with a proper orca or not jeopardizing the chance to do so in the off season is a success. Failure is doing the opposite

Youth actually being committed to and living up to promise

16) Bonus playoff question - How far will we get in the playoffs and how will our season end?

2nd round. 4-2 loss

looking at las't years thread, it looks like almost everyone were too optimistic.

What season do you expect us to have? Will jimmy really make a change? Will Bam make the jump? Will Doc add new butt hols?

RexBoyWonder wrote:1) How many wins will the Heat have in the 2019-2020 season? As of right now I'll say 45 games.

2) Will we make the playoffs this year? If yes - what seed will we be? Yes ... 6th seed

3) Who will be our top 4 leading scorers, and what will their PPG be? Butler 24 ppg, Dragic 14 ppg, Bam 14 ppg, Winslow 14 ppg

4) Who will be our best overall new addition (new at Miami)? Jimmy Butler of course.

5) Who will be our best overall young player (not including Dion)? Bam

6) Which player will make the biggest improvement from last year? Bam

7) Who will be the biggest disappointment? I'm already disappointed that Waiters is still here so ...

8) What trades will we end up doing during the year (or even before the season starts)? I wouldn't even try to guess.

9) What will be the biggest surprise of the season? Spo will look smarter now that he has a guy that can make a basket when he needs it.

10) What will our board posters write about Spo once this season is over? S.O.S ... love/hate ... no real change

11) Predict a nice/interesting statistical nugget you can see happening with the team or a player. Bam will make at least 20 three pointers on the year.

12) Predict the weirdest moment of the season. Jimmy Butler missing a last second shot, and Waiters yelling at him like he's Mario Chalmers.

13) Predict a RealGM Heat-board development you expect to see with a long time poster/s. Same as every other year. I'm going to lose my damn mind.

14) What will you consider a success/failure this year? This season is already a failure. We've trashed our near and mid term future to go all in with Jimmy Buckets, and he isn't good enough to lead us to a title. But we'll make the playoffs, as we should, and maybe even pull off an upset in round 1.

15) What will be the biggest factor to impact our success or failure this year? Pat. He's already impacted it by setting our course, and he will determine if we add another piece or two to maybe get us to the ECF.


16) Bonus playoff question - How far will we get in the playoffs and how will our season end? I'm going to assume that we make another trade, and say 2nd round game 7.
