Spurs win! Heat lose, perfect! They'll get some wins eventually, still tons of bad teams on their schedule, important to get those losses when you're supposed to

Every heat game I've watched since the wiggins trade, herro has been bad outside of some hot shooting. He's just not someone you can play in 4th quarters unless down big and need some lightning in a bottle.

We dont want the playoffs. If we make the playoffs we give our pick to OKC. We want a chance at the top 4, or a quality player around 8ish.

No miss the playoffs entirely and get the 8th pick worst case with a 26% of top 4

Miss the playoffs hope for lottery luck. If we get lucky we could literally rebuild in one season. Cooper + GSW pick on a pg in a deep draft + Ware would be a pretty good young core for the future. Maybe its a pipedream but you never know

Hou could use Bam

Thompson and a pick package would be nice

Herro is a bad defender and a bad decision maker.
He can score the ball and has talent but his whole presence is not positive imo.
Not a winning player as far as I have seen.


Wiggins once again with ankle pain, he was limping at the end and got benched.

Why do they not leave him to rest his foot and continue to play him while he is not healed?
He is dealing with ankle pain for one month now.

They're not trading Thompson. He's probably their best prospect. I am pretty sure he's untouchable unless its someone like Ant

Exactly. Miami just can't get out of its own way.

That’s basically Herros career in a nutshell. If he’s not on fire he does nothing for your team but hurt them considering he’s a traffic cone on defense and has a weak handle on offense. He’s a me first guy who stresses over his PPG but idk, Heat fans fawn over it for some reason. His best role he ever played for us was 6 man because it fit his wants and the teams needs perfectly.

Celts got no young players worth having (I want nothing to do with Pritchard)

Cavs don’t need him

OKC gonna be a nightmare to deal with. Can’t imagine Mia’s brainiacs outwitting Presti at the negotiation table much less getting a halfway decent deal from him.

Lakers make some sense but I’m not overly bullish on a Knetch and pick package from them

Maybe the Spurs. Foxx would campaign for his buddy and Mia could net Castle and a pick package that includes this years first rounder

Return to Miami Heat
