Yaaaawn

Just give me home white, road black and the red alt from time to time. Enough.


I understand that it’s a business at the end of the day, but I really enjoy the white home, black away, red alternate combination.

What is a realistic alternative for them? They dont own their picks, he is the face of the franchise and wants to stay. Even if they trade him without owning their picks they can’t tank. This gives them a corner stone player for two years, Beal is off the books and whatever they get in a KD trade. Not as horrible as it originally sounds, the cap is going up, soon we will see elite players getting paid close to 100 mil a year.

Makes Herro’s 49 mil per extension seem like chump change.

The original question was clownish too. Who thinks of LeBron first when seeing the Heat logo other than player stans!

thats why that Luka looked so crazy but its the owners trying to take back control of these max contracts. they didn't want to pay so instead of trying to convince the guy to take less they just sent him packing. Boston handed out those massive contracts then sold the team :lol:

Bro its you
Jokic 30, Giannis 30, SGA 28, Embiid 32, Tatum 27, Mitchell 28, Brunson 28, AD 32

You couldn't be so more wrong. If you weren't on these forums a lot, I'd tag you as a casual. I think its just the old dudes sticking around that's messing up your perception. In the old days, guys like Lebron, Curry, KD and Harden would be so washed but they've managed to stay around the all nba level

Fun fact:
Heat 08 -> 30th on offense
Heat 09 -> 20th on offense
Heat 10 -> 19th on offense

D.Wade was their best player and he was absolutely amazing at times, shows how much of a team game this still is no matter how good your best offensive player is.

This also says alot about Heat team philosophy and how to play the game and pace of the game aka possessions and PPG. Ever since Riley got here we have been a defensive first team and hustle and Heat culture etc.

Ofc when you have lebron wade bosh that changes but for the most part thats just who we are as a team and identity. Also last five years, Jimmy always balls out in playoffs compared to regular season performances

Return to Miami Heat
