Spo is looking at our plethora of wings and thinking about how well each would look at PF.

We gave Dedmon a little extra money so he would be a good soldier and not complain about being behind Yurt. Also with the idea of him as an insurance policy if they trade Yurt or if they use him in a future deal he has his guaranteed deal.

I’ve given up at the Yurt/Bam combo. Even when things got desperate towards the end last year with Dedmon on one leg or out he still refused to go with it.

Yeah. Spo isn't going anywhere and his fadball ways are here to stay. He's going to follow the newest trends and we are going to win games and weird roster construction issues will be swept under the rug.

When he left Miami he waited for free agency to dry up to hinder us from retooling. Rat bastard.

Lebron didn't wait for anything. He was ghosting Pat and Pat wouldn't take the hint.


Pat got the hint soon as the season ended. It's why he gave that triggered cut bait and run speech when the season ended.

The only way we could've moved on was to relinquish our bird rights to LBJ and use his capsace elsewhere. But that way too risky and would've killed any potential sign and trade possibilities. He did us very dirty for no good reason. I was more shocked that he would put his best friend DWade in that position, after DWade gave up his team and sacrificed his legacy for him.


That was the year Pat with a straight face said Danny Granger and I forgot the other reject player, McWubrt. I would have watched a World Cup game also than hear a Danny granger sales pitch.

Two simple deals that make us better.

Duncan and 2023 protected pick for Nance Jr and Temple.

* This deal gets us a player we have coveted in the past in Nance Jr to get us a true starting 4. Temple is a Heat type bench filler. Most importantly we get out of Duncan’s 17-18 per long term contract and are able to absorb Herro’s extension next year with very little issue.

C Bam Adebayo C Omer Yurtseven C Dewayne Dedmon
PF Larry Nance Jr PF Caleb Martin PF Nikola Jovic PF UD
SF Jimmy Butler SF/SG Max Strus SF Haywood Highsmith
SG Tyler Herro SG Victor Oladipo
PG Kyle Lowry PG Gabe Vincent

Duncan, 2023 protected pick, Yurtseven for Bojan Bogdonovic.

* Would be an excellent stretch 4 in our system. Does not get enough credit for how tough he can be down low either. Can also serve as a mentor for fellow Euro Nikola Jovic. Yet another deal that gets us out of Duncan’s contract and gets us a perfect fit between Bam and Butler. Always been a Heat nemesis so would love to have him on our side.

C Bam Adebayo C Dewayne Dedmon C UD
PF Bojan Bogdonovic PF Caleb Martin PF Nikola Jovic
SF Jimmy Butler SF/SG Max Strus SF Haywood Highsmith
SG Tyler Herro SG Victor Oladipo SG Garrett Temple
PG Kyle Lowry PG Gabe Vincent

He won’t. It’s all for dramatics right now. Probably waiting for a significant day to announce his return. He’s not turning down the easy 2.8 million. It’s up to the Heat at this point to tell him to move on. This will make his 20th year.

Not opposed to getting Hayward but would need a lot more back to get something like this done. Lowry would have to be traded as well in order for that to happen. Terry Rozier would be a good fit here.


ya no thx... i would rather keep herro... atleast Herro has some upside, can improve, and at times has shown talent... as for GH, i alrdy know what he can do... and it is not enough to get us a title or even close. I would of taken a chance on GH before he signed with the celtics and that nasty injury he had, but he didnt want us. so be it.

Here goes the latest as this was so posted earlier

Sounds like Irving is happy and wants to run it back and Durant might not be too far behind.

I think so too. He's said it several times that it was real important to his late father for him to play (or be in the league) for 20 years.

Yup I think the Heat let this play out one more year and then offer him a job in the front office.

Been gone for a couple of days. Any ICC nuggets since the KD request to meet with the owner?
