Not a single Heat player in the Top 30 list on the Production RAT scale. I am sometimes surprised, how we even get to where we get to not having a guy who can sustained that type of production for a full season. Jimmy would probably be top 5 on this list if he gave a damn from opening tip of game 1 through the end of 82. I guess we need to settle for 1/3 of the season and top 5 in the playoffs as long as he is our guy. Once he is gone though, whose gonna be that guy to be our number 1. I guess were 2-3 years out from that, but hopefully its a young player were we can get it for a long time, I miss having the best player on the court on most nights during a regular season game, really miss Wade. It was special from day one when he stepped on the court, as a fan I hope to one day have that feeling again.

If you let the recruiting brigade tell it once Jimmy rides off into the sunset we'll form another super 3 with Bam's friends, so it's going to be a very long time before we're bad enough to be in a position to draft the caliber of generational player you're talking about. We'll have to be content with having a competitive team that can make some serious playoff runs, even if we don't have the best or most exciting player on the floor.

We have an equal opportunity offense outside of Herro, our guys don’t play for statistics and basic box score metrics or they’d be on there for sure

Hard to doubt Pat Riley being capable of attracting talent.

Just maybe Pat Riley knows how to build a roster better than everyone else dispite not getting the popular player.

Oh I've got no questions about that. The post I was responding to was about drafting a generational talent though, we are rarely bad enough to be in that mix.

The Pacers stay on the Heat's tails with a win today. If the Heat can pull together a win tomorrow night it should make noise around the league and talking heads. So lets make some noise!!

The fuxking ego and stupidity it would take to decline joining that team because you don’t want to change your jersey number would be absolutely epic. Also, the ego it would take to ask the established champion, perennial all-star to change his number for you, would be enormous as well.

If true, the homie deserves to be ringless.

I agree with you, but if he thinks about his business ventures, he developed a brand, CP3.

I'm not sure it can be changed to CP4 or anything else.

Yeah that was a brand decision, sometimes those come before winning for some players. Had that trade went down, means we were losing Chris Bosh. I don't think without Bosh Miami would have been as successful as they were, a small guard usually isn't as impactful.

Bosh >>>>> CP3 dor what Wade and LBJ needed next to them.



Lalety I've found myself wondering - with free agency practically dead for star players (they all extend now and demand trades later) combined with our no tanking philosophy that prevents us from ever picking at the high lottery -

How the hell are we getting the next superstar to come here?

Ya, this makes no sense at all, lol.

CP was so stuck on the jersey number (that the franchise's best player is also wearing) he was unwilling to join possibly the greatest dynasty since the MJ's Bulls (if LeBron stayed n Wade didn't break down, etc, but at the time, it seemed so possible)?

Yea I'd bet this is something that they can claim "existed" because it was discussed at some point, but probably never made it past any conceptual stage
