Miami Heat Regular Season Thread 5.0 - Somebody save us

[MettaWorldPanda]

Teams ahead of us in the standings looking to bolster their rosters, Knicks Pacers Sixers, bucks looking hard

You should already know, Riley/Miami will have one or 2 offers of take this small asset for your much better player that's expiring. Another can't lose trade but not aggressive enough for YEARS now to give this roster a real shot at a championship other than hope Butler can carry them when they need it.

Rinse and repeat brother, “oh we’re y’all sleeping when they traded for Rozier?!” Nope, team just needs more still

All we did was a lateral upgrade over Lowry without even looking at shoring up any of the massive holes this team has. Just a lazy awful defense

So is KO a buyout candidate?

Bro the Raps just paid a 1st for him

I like the Rozier trade, they got Infront of the possible trading frenzy that could have driven up the price. Miami does a great job of using leverage, but they also need to sprinkle in some trades for the roster to give them a real chance with Butler and Bam.

True, I figured it was moreso for the young guy lol.

Why the fuxk would they want KO though and for a 1st at that?

Sucks we’ve been screaming this since the 2020 finals

I doubt PJ gets bought out with his player option. They’re better off just holding onto him then risk him signing with a rival. They are probably looking to try and trade him to an east team.

Well, there was a 2nd player in that trade...

Agbaji was drafted as the 14th overall pick in the 2022 NBA draft, maybe this Toronto's secondary draft. Once again, this year's draft class is supposed to be bad so maybe they like Agbaji better than what they expect to get in the draft this year, if this is the case then Olynyk is just icing on the cake.

Going to be painful if we miss out on Bogi

I don't think he makes sense, he is averaging more points, but less efficiency across the board in everything except free throw shooting and FG% but no by much, 3pt% is Ducan is better, also Duncan has better efficiency in the playoffs compared to him across the board on everything. He is a 19M dollar player, so Duncan is the contract that matches there although his is shorter so we can get out of it. Outside of getting off that dollar quickly Bogi doesn't provide any improvements.

I don’t agree with this at all. Bogi has played the 4 very well in this league and has proven to be a way better scorer than Duncan has ever been and will ever be.

Bojan - 24.5 (P/40) 4.1 (R/40) 3.1 (A/40) 60.0% (TS%) 15.8 (USG) 20.2ppg 3.4reb 2.5ast 46.8 FG% @32.9 minutes per Game.
Duncan - 19.0 (P/40) 3.6 (R/40) 4.1 (A/40) 61.0% (TS%) 19.7 (USG) 13.0ppg 2.4reb 2.8ast 45.0 FG% @27.4 minutes per Game.

Almost Identical Players, both 6'-7" their Per 40 numbers are close, and Duncan is far more efficient overall shooting wise as well as getting more assist per minute played. Duncan is playing 5 minutes less per game overall as well, grab that information then put Bojan Bog here at the PF role within the same minute allocation with far less Usage than Detroit, because Miami now has Rozier, Herro, Jimmy, Bam he will be getting way less touches.

I am not seeing it that great improvement, I did this exercise once already as I was looking around looking for best upgrade for the team.

There not buying out the canadien Kelly Olynyk that's just straight up hope traffic

Who said buying out Olynyk, I said icing on the cake, they'll probably resign him to give them a stretch option at C/PF. They've been acquiring vet PFs as possibly a mentor Barnes.

[3ammy3uck3ts]

DSJ/Oneale still a great trade. Send Jovic and/or 2nds

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Dunn still out there. There’s options

Bammy mentioned buyout and I thought that was a bit ludicrous. Toronto is probably thrilled to be bringing in a country born player like KO much like they did with Barrett.

Don’t bring Ludacris into this…..

[AirP.]

Miami was interested in him a year or 2 ago, he's a bigger PG at 6'5''.
