This seems like one of the most obvious draft picks tbh but I thought that last year about Knecht.

Will be getting Knecht for Wiggins

:lol:

It just goes to show that the Heat front office never wanted Durant.. but pretended they did to appease the toxic fans at Heat twitter. Now everyone can say they were outbid by Houston, and the Heat didnt lose a player they like.


Im in disbelief for the mere fact that.. ive been a fan since the early 90s…

I remember we traded Glen Rice who was one of the NBA’s iron men like Bridges is today, rarely missed a game, there were seasons he played 82 games, and he was a big time player for us.

We traded him, reeves who was a lottery pick and only a season in and a first round pick for Alonzo Mourning.

The following season We traded kevin willis who was as solid of a big man as you can have at the 4/5 for Tim Hardaway.

Traded away Odom and Caron and a first for Shaq, and we know how instrumental and continuity odom and caron had on Wade’s rookie season.

You saw what we did from 2008-2009 to make way for the 2010 offseason and grab chris and lebron here


That is the Heat Culture i grew up on. We always were aggressive, no matter the result.

Now we get too attached with rotation/bench talent like Tyler Johnson, Gabe Vincent, Caleb Martin, Max Strus, Jovic, Jaime..

We overpay some of these guys like Duncan Robinson, Dion Waiters, James Johnson.

We now place untouchable tags on guys like Tyler Herro. He cant be traded, theyre ready to put a statue of Herro in front of Wade with the way they treat him. Ima say it right now Tyler Herro can only wish he has a career like Glen Rice. 5 years in and hes not even close to Glen as an all time Heat player. He definitely does not have the durability of Glen Rice.

You buy a Heat ticket and you knew Glen was going to play, period.


So thats my frustration with this front office, they have accepted mediocrity. Theyre trying to sell to the rest of the league, Herro is the man here, his sidekick Bam (who is actually better than Herro) defers to him, come join and play second fiddle to Herro.

God ima throw up if we give him an extension.



Lol, Herro's been in trading rumors every off-season of his career without the management coming out to say he's untouchable! And you are comparing him to WADE? Come on!!

I'm telling you guys the big plan for this front office is next year's free agency. They're eyeing Luka, Fox, or Trae. They're hoping someone hits the market.

I dont believe thats the plan, mainly because those type of guys dont really get to free agency anymore.

We’ll see if some names come forth in the coming weeks. It sounds like some are tossing in the towel for a meaningful acquisition and we arent even into July.

Unfair to compare Herro to Rice. Rice was an early lottery pick and much older/experienced coming in. Also remember that Riley had no history with Rice. Just that preseason. Very easy to get rid of him. Kurt Thomas was drafted before Riley was hired. Never one of his guys so he got rid of him too. Everyone but Keith Askins was shipped out to bring in his own guys.

Any player can be compared to anyone, and Herro is not Glen. And he is most definitely not Dwyane Wade. Hell he isnt Hardaway.

let’s stop pretending he is that caliber of a player, and sell high from his ONE big season where he flopped in the playoffs.

And lets get back to the real heat culture. Not this “loyalty” culture which has never been true since my whole lifetime. Tell Wade about Heat loyalty.

It’s about championships, period.


Riley has always been loyal to HIS main guys. That was my point. Rice was never HIS guy. He didn’t play one regular season game under Riley. All of the main guys that Riley let go or traded were OLD when he did so. Wade. Timmy. Zo. Shaq. But he didn’t get rid of them when they were young.

The only young guy I can think of him getting rid of was Odom who was just a 1yr free agent at that point. He did so for Shaq but he would not part with Wade for Shaq…

3ammy, for your own health, stay off Heat Twitter. It's a cesspool of terrible takes and clickbait engagement. Basically a negative energy circle jerk.

Alright guys, let’s find a positive.

IF we ever do win with this core and however they supplement it, it would be the first homegrown Heat team to do so lol.

We’ve been hard wired to building teams through trade and free agency. But we gonna have to accept that it is possible to draft a young core and develop it.

I am fine with Miami keeping the powder dry and rolling for next off season. If would not be cursing the Heat for stopping short on throwing Ware into the mix on an old KD rental.
