Miami Heat Off-Season 2.0- The Empire runs it back

[Spacely]

Lillard is scary we ain’t getting him he’ll just stay ringless like Jimmy, if we don’t do chit this off-season please trade Jimmy

I'm not sure Portland has the guts to move that #3 pick.

You might be right, I’m curious to see if they’re more likely to move it if Scoot is available or Miller. Scoot is more promising for their future but he’s also the better trade asset where as if Miller is there the trade offers will be pretty weak I’d say

It will come down to what Charlotte does, Scoot is seen as the highest upside talent after Wemb. Where Miller looks just to be a really hard worker that will be a key piece on a team but may never be a superstar. If Charlotte picks Scoot best believe they aren't getting anything of value for Miller, and might just as well keep him. However if Charlotte is dumb enough to pick fit rather than best available and get Miller, then I could see the scenario where somebody like a Zion coming back to them for the third pick.

If we can get a clean break from Duncan we get under the first apron by 7 million. Can stretch Oladipo and get up to full MLE money with 17.5 million to go over the cap again. Just a wiser use of our money.

Bring Miles bridges in for the vet minimum to play the 4. Should be a league requirement for him to be sent to Miami Heat boot camp to continue his career and we know Pat condones domestic abuse

[Grumpy Heat Fan]

at this point, just go after Hield and a upgrade at the 4

Portland is actively trying to trade their assets to improve. Dame is staying in Portland, done deal imo.

I'd roll the dice on Zion if I were Portland, I think Zion got tired and eventually lost interest in basketball because of how New Orleans put him in bubble wrap to not injury him. His first game in the NBA I thought they were pissing Zion off by limiting his time, if you remember they kept sending a sub to the scorers table for Zion but he just kept scoring, he put up 17 straight points then pulled him. I think all the time away from the court, team, with all the money while extremely famous may have really changed the kid, they needed him with the team nearly the whole time and didn't do it.

Seems Zion has been rehabbing near Nike headquarters in Portland. With him up there, maybe the Trailblazers knows a little more about him, his mindset and his rehabbing through word of mouth.

For the foreseeable future, Williamson will rehabilitate in Portland, Oregon, as ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski first reported. Nike’s headquarters are located in nearby Beaverton, Oregon. Williamson has a sponsorship deal with Jordan Brand, which includes a signature sneaker, the Zion 1.

Any new nuggets?

Forget Dame. Lets trade for Zion Williamson. He's as big as a whale.

I’ve been by the rehab facility. Whoever chose it either has a twisted sense of humor or didn’t do their due diligence because it’s located across the street from Madame Claudette’s Bunny Ranch and Bakery.

Is this a serious post or is it a schtick? This kind of tilt over Bradley fkn Beal? Guess what - if we got Beal, the team STILL wouldn't have any superstars by your definition, since he's not even better than Jimmy or Bam.

Again, we just made it the the NBA Finals... chill lol.

Congrats on making the nba finals… that is quite the accomplishments! We hanging banners now for losing in the finals? Lol and yes it’s serious.

Pat Riley doesn't win the championship every year? What a bum! We need to fire him and hire on the the GMs that do win it all every year.

That whole "there's only one winner" mentality is nice and it's fine for maintaining focus on the goal, but you seem to take it too seriously. Yeah making the finals is an accomplishment. Only two teams do it. And I don't know where you got the idea that the Heat can't sell tickets. The Heat finished the season 5th in paid attendance, and we were the 5th biggest draw on the road.

You can enjoy your fandom however you like but you can’t go around tellin others how to enjoy there’s.. and as far as tickets go, may they sell but other fans are always pointing the empty seats in Miami.

Spacing would be god awful. Would rather try and acquire KP.

A core of Herro, Butler, KP, and Bam can be lethal.

another bull sh it blah blah blah speech incoming.

Praying someone asks Pat the hard questions tomorrow, I hope Dame tunes in to watch

I think thats enough to get Lopez here..

[gom]

I really wonder - Is anyone here, really, seriously, in all honesty -

Thinks we'll get Dame this offseason?

Really?

Not me, RBW. Not too concerned either.

[MettaWorldPanda]

Heats most recent draft workouts are all tell tale signs that a trade back is imminent in the up coming draft. Both these prospects projected as late 1st or early second round picks.

I’ve been pretty adamant about wanting us to clean up our biggest need this summer which is an all star 3 level scorer. Offensively it’s the perfect fit next to our 2 stars. My preference for those is:

1. Dame
2. Ingram
3. Kyrie
4. Trae
5. Beal
6. Lavine

That being said, if Pat strikes out yet again and can’t land those guys I wouldn’t be made at all trying to work out something for KP/Morris or Wright or Turner/Buddy. I think those combination of guys can put us over the top and I rather rely more on proven talent veteran guys like this than undrafted gleaguers who eventually just have too much on their plate the further we go into the postseason.
