Miami Heat Offseason Thread 4.0: Juan Wick Szn

Lowry and his salary to the clips for Powell and Covington, Herro and Dipo to the Hornets with haywards expiring and a 1st from Charlotte going to Portland with Duncan and whatever else we need to send, use Gabes bird rights to give him $10M a year.

Dame/Gabe/Dragic
Powell/Martin/JJJ
Jimmy/Bates-Diop/Cain
Covington/Highsmith/Jovic
Bam/Noel/Love

Do we have an exception to send for Wood?

Dame/Gabe/Dragic

Maybe but Pop is 74 and won't coach forever. Also the Spurs had great success with a young Tim Duncan surrounded by veterans.

They may try to repeat that formula.

They have the ability to pull off the first stunner which is sign Draymond to a 30 million dollar per deal. They can put the Warriors on there heels quick.

isn't 12 mil just the MLE?

Damn I'm going to miss the Strus getting loose and Strus juice calls. Max came up from the bottom and ended up starting over both Herro and Robinson. Now he's going to be gone and we are stuck with the lesser player in Robinson

It's 3 for 48 so 16mil a year.

Max and Gabe getting big deals is basically good pub for the HEAT. Just need the next group of undervalued guys to come in cheap and let the HEAT/Spo max their value. Cam Reddish and Dennis Smith Jr come on down!

If Ind strikes out on Strus, would they take Duncan?

I actually want to retain Duncan this year but if Ind has interest, they could be a helpful suitor if Mia needs to involve a 3rd team to move salary to in a bigger complex deal.

I’ll admittedly miss yelling McStrus!!! at the tv when he splashes down a big shot.

Big deal for Max. Unsure why Indiana is doing it given they have Mathurin and Duarte, but you do you Indy.

Post #1820 » by **Wiltside** » Thu Jun 29, 2023 12:29 am

If Max is getting 3/48, you know Gabe is going to be something similar…
