3ammy supposedly has a gift waiting for Riley if he does this. If you don't know the gift I suggest you don't ask.

This web site states he has a 2025/26 option but it might not be accurate so im not sure.

Would be ideal if he, Jimmy and Bam all expired that offseason. Would be some serious cap holds, but we'd have space to make some moves for the next iteration of Heat basketball beyond this window.

He’s coming. It’s a matter of when, not if.

Tbf it’s likely all they’re getting is expirings and picks.

If Simmons commits to coming off bench I could see it working well here

Honestly it's all fun and game and truthfully bs until it gets to training camp. Thats when he either backs it up or folds like a cheap deck of cards. It's hard to see him pulling a Ben Simmons but stranger things have happened. This will be entertaining for sure.

A few notable offseason trades:

There’s plenty of time. Why does this fool (Rat Piley) keep sending me texts with random Springsteen lyrics?! Get a grip.

Damian Lillard is stubborn enough to stay with Portland for 11 years, he's not gonna waver on his trade demand to the Heat

Who is this 'Mark Lewis, NBA Insider' with 216 twitter followers, using ESPN's Marty Smith as a profile pic lmao.

This is one of @Rapaz twitter accounts, huh?

This. Lillard strikes me as a determined dude. He’s gonna say heat or nothing til the end

Looking at his contract has made me change my stance on him, but would y'all risk being hard capped for Randle and Dame?

Bam will be on a supermax the last season. That's one reason a few of us are not as eager.

Could be our version of Laker's Odom.

I can see the vision, but I'm not sure we'd take a chance on him given the injuries and off court issues. Certainly doesn't scream a 'Heat guy'.

However, if we did take him on, trust that Spo would find a way to make him contribute.

Man, I wish this didnt get so soap-opera ish. Need to get it done or this whole offseason feels like crap. I feel like people are not respecting Herro, and I think its personal against the Heat. Herro is a guy worth picks, not a guy that we need to pay picks to dump.

Bam Super Max starting in 20026/27 would be starting at around 60+ give or take right?

Doing us a huge favor. If he stays strong, then it’s only a matter of time.

Yes. 35% of the cap of 2026/2027. 183,000,000 (est.) * .35 = $64m

Randle?
