We can do this. That top 4 is where we need to be.

Because the FO has shown they can’t get it done
Give them this offseason and draft. Things can change quickly

We are most likely stuck with him since the Heat see him as more valuable than what the trade offers will be.

Bam is a better overall player than Jalen Williams and Chet. Chet could achieve greater heights if he proves durable and can progress (has played in 45% of total games since being drafted).
Still think Bam trade talk is nonsense, but if some team out there is gearing up for a huge offer I'm sure it will be due to the hard work of half this board in working to source it.

27% chance at 8th right? Lose to the Knicks Monday and we likely fall behind the Blazers and Bulls, then it’s just the spurs who we’ll be .5 games above I believe if they can’t beat the Lakers Monday

I’ve been in direct talks with OKC, the Lakers, Timberwolves and a few teams that wish to remain anonymous and know for a fact they’re gearing up monster offers for Edrice.
While you’re here, do you remember the % of cap space Bams current contract is taking up in comparison to what it’ll be when his extension kicks in?

So, if we trade Bam to OKC, we can get our pick back plus others and shoot for Darryn and AJ to supplement this years lotto pick.
I am not against it. I love Bam, but we have to get super lucky this draft to really max his contributions to our team. Trading him could completely reshape our potential.
I see it at about 0.01% chance of happening though. Bam is about as Heat as Heat gets.

I'm sure the actual experience of the multi-year rebuild that ensues would go over well with the large majority of the fanbase that can't even come to terms with the fact that this is has become a purely developmental season.

If the Heat are serious about building around Herro and Grant the need to build their team like either Webber Kings or the old Duncan, Ginolbli, Leonard and Parker team. You gotta have a lot of good players and can’t be top heavy. Gotta look at those teams as a model
