You wanna pay a short spot up shooter $50 plus million a year?


He wouldn't be a spot up shooter here. Do you understand the offensive make up between Miami and Milwaukee and why Milwaukee can make the stupid choice to use Dame as a spot up shooter? They have a big averaging over 30 ppg on over 60% fg percentage. Is it the right move to utilize Dame like that? Hell no.

In Miami we don't have anyone better than Dame offensively or near him. He would basically be used how we're using Herro which would be way better for us and Dame.

Saying Dame is a spot up shooter is asinine. He's taking 8 3s a game and and 7 fts. what spot up shooter takes 7 fts? Dude would be the worst defender on this team by a distance, and there's no Giannis or Lopez at the rim


I'm just replying to his message about him spotting up, not having the ball in his hand. He's past his prime. You don't allocate a big portion of the cap on an aging all-star. Even Butler's best years are already behind him. Let's see how Dame does without Giannis against Indiana. He will score in some games, but I'm not expecting much big difference from him

Honestly I don't want Ingram. It's Mitchell, Young, or bust for me.


Don't want Young either! It's Mitchell or Fox for me if we are going with Bam's buddies.

This is my 2nd but would be my favorite if we won just 1 title. But big 3 era is still up there. The 27 winning streak, B2B championship, showtime highlights etc.


With you there, it's just that with the big3 we were expected to win, so the pressure was too much. This build, we were always the underdogs, so every series win felt epic.


Crazy every game back then feels like a playoff game and ESPN site have its own HEAT INDEX. wild times

Makes me feel alot better tbh, needs to be Mitchell though.

Will go full throttle for Donavan. Hopefully he forces his way here and Cavs do the right thing after seeing how the Blazers failed miserably playing hardball with Dame. Herro, the 15th pick, and 2029 first has to be a decent base of a starting package.

Surely Bam will show up next game because he has no choice to

In 1 game played against the Bulls which was a win, Bam put up 23-11-6. I expect that type of performance and more

Exactly. It was a letdown if they didn't win the finals every single year. Also I was pretty sick of bandwagon LeBron fans

Ya, Mitchell or even Fox. Let's go for a young star in his prime to pair w Bam. Hope Minnesota crash n burn n Anthony Edwards asks out too, lol

Ah the introduction to player fans. It’s no wonder they’re held in such low regard by the fanbase

Player fans are just like idol group fans who worship the stars for their looks, not the quality of songs, lol

The year is 2024....


And Nicolas Batum just dragged his balls all over The Miami Heat in an important game.


I'm **** sick and disappointed.

Jimmy is talking about MRI’s…we are so fuxked.

I’ll say again, prefer to lose the play-in and miss the playoffs completely than lose to Boston. We are now the horse with a broken leg waiting to get put out of its misery.

In the words of one of the mods "We will be violently swept" if Jimmy doesn't play.

Completely agree. Getting swept by Boston will erase all the good feelings I had w the last year's run, lol. Just get to the off season n work on the roster

They can have everything outside of Bam tbh, luckily it won’t come to that because he’s expiring

Just finished watching, damn we should have won this game. We played zone defense a lil too long & lacked rim protection.
