2023 Miami Heat Regular Season Thread - Westbrook and Love edition

I feel for Spida. Skolnick loves the sound of his yappy little voice. Seems to me that Jimmy is the kind of player to have concerns playing against rather than alongside.

Mitchell will be here, it’s not a matter of if at this point but when. Does he ask out this summer? Probably not. Does he opt out the following summer? Very likely.

I am so happy for the Kings. If they had made the playoffs last season, though, my mom would have lived to enjoy it, so I'm also kind of pissed they took so long. She was such a good fan. Put up with a lot of disappointment and broken promises.

Sorry your mom couldnt make it to see it. Its good to see a team finally kick the losing habit.

She gave them time. She lived until she was 94. :-)

I love Spida, but I'd rather havee SGA. Such a good young point guard. Great playmaking and smart defender. Reminds me of a young CP3.

Sign me up for that as well, I love SGA. Early season I was all about trading every asset we had for him lol

I think he’s more likely to the Knicks or raptors via trade though and isn’t a FA until 2027.

Mitchell I think wants to be here bad and I think they’re going to get a 3rd guy with them at some point

Would love to try get Mikal Bridges this offseason, but that seems a big long shot. He’s been incredible for BKN.

aint no player touching miami after this **** of a season. We have been exposed as pretenders..... we somehow managed to like 10x worse than last season.... and i doubt it was cuz of PJ tucker leaving. I think honestly the heats obsession with D leaguers is coming back to bite them... both strus and duncan both turned to doo doo over night.. these guys heat up for a short time and the heat pull out the check book... dont do that, instead when these guys heat up you need to trade um for picks/assets..

It would take Herro and picks, im not 100% against it but is that the move we use our assets for to put us over the top? I’m not so sure it is

The seasons leading to the big 3 were **** storms. We’ll be fine

Doubt it'll happen.

The only whale we're giving all of our money to this summer is this guy right here

It's Max' summer. We'll just live in it.

I'd do it.

PG - Lowry / Vincent
SG - Robinson / Oladipo
SF - Butler / Martin
PF - Bridges / Jovic
C - Adebayo / Yurtseven

Try and get Duncan to space the floor with the starters, defensively the Butler / Bridges / Adebayo lineup is as elite as it comes.

I'd also be fine with going big and starting Yurt if he proves he can space the floor, and move Bridges to the 2.

Yep lol, just came to post the same thing. People still believe this dude for some reason

No... I think the Heat are leaking stories to prepare to move Butler this summer and Miami's biggest asset to get back may be getting off of some money to get under the tax and a couple low first round picks.

@3ammy3uck3ts

If the Blazers get the #2 pick, maybe your dream comes true and they'll trade Dame

Nah Ethan is just throwing **** at the wall. It’s no coincidence the timing he tried to put it out there lol it backfired on him.

You telling me this kid can't produce like\better then washed Kevin Love?

GTFO

Love is a failed desperate attempt to show "we did something"

It's unwatchable

It's good to see him showing his physicality (potential once he gets bigger/stronger) whenever he had smaller players on him in the game he would mouse in the house them and force the defense to react. He's way above G-League level he's doing it effortlessly he should be playing.

If the Heat had no intentions of playing him they should have let him stay and play in the ABA/Champions League where there is actual defense/way more physicality and basketball IQ, the G-League is a literal glorified pick up game. The league despite the good talent is a joke.

Wes Goldberg tossed it out there last night also on the Lock'd On Heat podcast. Who knows because Wes is ready to hand the franchise over to Herro (who can do no wrong in his opinion).

Yea until Barry and Tim come out and say it I’m going to say it’s BS, timing of it is just perfect to where people will take it and eat it up. Luckily Mitchell debunked that super quick. These other guys are just looking for whatever clout they can get, none of them are really breaking anything.
