I hope to god it isn’t but I can’t say with certainty. If the move is just bringing in crowder and calling it a day does it even matter?

Im just asking if you think the roster will be the same or not


If I had to give a straight yes or no answer I would say no but I would’ve told you the same thing this summer and here we are. Lost a starter and added a rookie and that’s basically it.

Point being nothing is set it stone. A couple of years ago we made a deal near the deadline that some would say propelled the Finals run, and it wasn't a star acquisition. So just because we didn't make that splash move people wanted in the summer, doesn't mean the roster can't still be improved in some capacity during the season. Regardless of any role players added, this is a team that will sink or swim with the performance of the top 1/4 of the roster.

I hope you’re on to something and they do it again

Teams know, get bam to defend the shot and crash the boards, easy offensive rebound. I’m so over this. How the fk did the heat not address the height problem, it cost the team a ring last year.

Christian wood

Sabonis

Miles turner

Zubot

Harrell

………. We get none and here we are relying on strus and Martin to help bam get so damn boards, how dumb

Myles Turner is still available. Harrell has a very small deal, there’s nothing to stop them from spinning the block and revisiting that name in a trade. I personally liked him here.

We didnt have the money for Zubac and there wasnt a trade for Sabonis. This is the type of stuff I’ll get criticized for calling out but the Pacers traded Sabonis for a young blue chip guard. We only have one of those in Herro. Now imagine this team right now minus Herro and Oladipo. We wouldnt have a front court problem sure but where does the perimeter scoring come from?

Come on we all secretly knew this would happen
... I mean what were possibilities this would be a great season?... we only have a couple of great players and a couple of maybe someday great players ... our team chemistry was incredible but only once, 3 seasons ago and because we were in a bubble

spo is only an above average coach that can't do magic !!

we have had a couple of great and lucky post-Seasons... some things got to give now and then

easy now! cheer for what we have I say! Maybe they can pull another ecf out of nowhere

The heat is not a great Team, but they're solid, so who knows??????

The single most important player on this team and it’s literally not even close. He’s the glue that holds everything in place. Let’s hope we can turn this ugly start around

Spo has done plenty of magic.. aint no way the Heat had any business reaching an NBA Finals and game 7 of the ECF with the rosters hes had.. not when the celtics, bucks, nets and 76ers each have more talented rosters. We had gabe vincent, caleb martin, max strus, duncan robinson, rookie tyler herro all contributing during those runs… 4 of them are damn near lucky to be in the league and probably would be in a YMCA without the Heat and Spoelstra.

My prediction i posted here several times after the end of the ECF has remained the same - We are likely to reach playoffs and get bounced in the first round.. i said it after last season.. if we did not make a significant move, which meant pair butler with another superstar, we arent going to make it far this season. We had a very tiny opportunity in that when Durant asked for a trade, but in the end the nets werent willing to deal him without a package similar to what utah was getting for their stars.

This is a league built on star players.. and while gabe, duncan, max and caleb are good at their roles.. they arent going to push us over the top.. i have not seen any sort of further ascension from Bam or Herro.. they are the same players they were in the bubble, they may have even regressed very slightly but not by much.

Very interested to see what the Heat does before the break.. especially if it goes really bad

I'd never understand how a well celebrated, consensus top level coach, some even say one the greatest coaches in history - consistently runs bad rotations and makes mind boggling errors that even I as an amateur (lime many others here) can easily recognize.

It will always be a mystery to me. How can such a smart coach makes so any stupid glaring mistakes.

LOL. Lakers fans on this board used to say the same exact things about Phil Jackson when they were frustrated.

Spo is a good coach who needs to be saved from himself. The front office caved into his small ball desires. Last year in free agency they signed Tucker and Morris b2b. Morris was looking like a perfect fit next to Bam off the bench for Tucker until Jokic clobbered him. Morris could have even passed for a starting 4 this year if not for the injury.

I agree with you. This is the real problem. It's not Crowder, Tucker or equivalent that will get us to the championship. If we're not going to make a big move, rebuilding is the most logical option. Butler will be 34 next year. We should take advantage of it while it is still very valuable.

Before any trades happen I'm still waiting for this lineup;

Bam
Jovic
Butler
Herro
Strus

Probably too white of a team to be accepted not called Utah, Dallas or Celtics due to identity politics but it intrigues me.

The Rick Ross intro would be awkward since Ross's identity politics are extremely pro-black.

TBH Omer + Jovic + Dipo not playing is low key killing us.

Insert those 3 names and then Highsmith and Dedmon should get no minutes, and Lowry should get a lot less playing time.
