Given the seemingly minimal options for landing spots for Butler AND Miami's apparent desire to avoid taking contracts that go beyond 2026 barring a long-term piece (only see Zion fitting this criteria based on who is available):
1. I am curious as to whether or not the franchise sees Herro's play this year as something they'd like to continue to pursue and build around or if they think him doing so much on offense is ok for now, but will cut it back if/when they can bring other players in.
2. I wonder whether the franchise still takes the view Herro/Bam is 1 player away from having a trio that gets you in the running for a title or if they think they need two players who are better than them.
Bam, imo, is basically a bigger, better version of Draymond Green and Herro is a good but, like Bam, I just don't see him being a perennial all-star or all-NBA team guy.
3. I'd like to know if Miami still sees Robinson putting up as many 3s as possible as part of a winning strategy and if they'd like to re-sign him at a more manageable number when his contract runs out.
4. Lastly, I am super curious to see if Miami uses the Butler trade demand to make big roster changes with some combo of Rozier, Robinson, JJJ, K Love being shipped out. It seems like it is going to require 4-6 teams, depending on where Butler ends up, and that must mean A LOT of people are going to be on the move.
1. This is the plan, 100%. Herro, Bam, Ware, Jovic, Jaquez, and Larsson are the key building blocks moving forward.
2. By 2026, we might have more clarity on this. Every year, there's some NBA drama with superstars requesting trades, so we need to position ourselves well for that kind of scenario. But as currently constructed, need an Alpha superstar to be competitive.
3. I believe Robinson will either be extended on a favorable deal after his contract expires next season or be used as a trade asset, or they’ll just simply let him walk. But my guess would be friendly deal because of his existing chemistry with Bam and Herro.
4. This won’t happen this season. Rozier and Robinson's contracts both expire next year, not seeing other teams taking their negative value, but next year would be different and easier to move them.
Nobody else is relentless w/ homerism on this board. He’s being called out on it, not just frm me. What do you expect!
