If Drob gets paid 20m hes going to a team like OKC where they are as bad as we are for years on end.. does not sound fun.

What's worrisome is the fact that even when Jimmy and Herro return, they will eventually end up missing more games down the line. In fact, they could be sidelined again for a couple weeks with injuries and COVID. Same goes for Bam too. If that happens, we probably won't make the playoffs.

Yes, there is still time to right the ship, but the margin of error is much slimmer now. We could go another stretch where we miss our key players and it would really set us back.

Last season finals was a fluke, we have good players and a good team but I never a finals or All-Star team... we have to lower all our expectations otherwise we are obviously going to get disappointed... in reality we are a four or five seed team in the east at best... remember, last season we didn't have to deal with reality

The hole was too deep to overcome. The Heat cut the lead to 7 early in the 4th, but every time they cut the Nuggets lead to single digits they immediately hit a three. The last 6 minutes the Heat got outscored 21 to 8. They just miss too many shots.

We are already a bit light on point guards, but no dragic/butler/herro is too much play creation missing

Even if KZ is playing a bit chit out there, I’d rather see him out there learning, getting reps and getting comfortable. He does have raw talent, but he needs a hell of a lot of polishing.

No reason he can’t be as good as DJJ at minimum though.

And so far I don’t see us being a team capable of going on any kind of meaningful winning streak to make up this hole any time soon.

I don't know if that's fair. We've shown plenty of signs of life over the past 9 games... just seems to be moral victory have moral victory. A lot like the 30-11 season tbh

Our so called depth has proven to be absolute garbage.

Looks like we might be a lottery team if things go bad. Good thing we have our pick.

It's hard to replace guys like Jae Crowder and DJJ with Gabe Vincent and Max Strus and call it an upgrade..

I need to go back to the thread where our resident silly poster was proclaiming that we found another DRob in Vincent and Strus and how it's game over for the rest of the league :x

Lets just try to get everyone on the court and see if we can get cooking. We only need to get the 8th seed. Anything above that is gravy in this screwy season.

In an alternate reality the Heat do. In this one, Dr. Strange, Miami's 2021 pick goes to OKC though.
