Should be a movable contract for its duration with some upside. Miami now trending to have 2 FRPs in a quality 2025 draft. That could be fun. I even wonder if Miami tries to shop one of the picks to turn it into a 2027 FRP to maximize trade flexibility through next season. Either way, good team building foundations.

See some of you all in the draft thread

It will be interesting to see if we're able to keep our pick, it's protected 1-14 and we're currently at 13

So Jimmy got his money. This means Heat did right by him and now other big time free agents will want to come here, right? ;)

Bitter sweet, too bad he acted like a complete diva at the end but we had good memories. Best of luck in San Fran Jimbo.

Now we'll really see what he has left in the tank.

Jimmy gonna be fresh and motivated, if nothing else.

Pick is 2025 lottery protected is it? Hopefully it's a 15'er then. Keep us in our hitting range.

Hmmm we sent Jimmy out and dumped jrich.
Brought in pj and wiggins. So unless we dump someone else, seems like Kyle will most likely be on the move. I don't think we have any open roster spots.

If Jimmy plays the way I feel like he can play, we should be able to get the 11th pick in this draft.

Still not sure how I feel about this deal.

On paper, not bad given the circumstances. But hard to get excited about Wiggins and PJ Tucker and a pick.

Idk about that. Much better offensive player, sure. Overall? Better fit on the Heat? Not so sure. Also, I don't think the Warriors would've been able to win that 2022 title with Zach Lavine as their 2nd best player.

We’ve got to get an all star PG in the next year or 2.

???
Herro
Wiggins
Bam
Ware

Wiggins is a great glue guy and has shown he can be huge for a championship. We need that extra piece though
