2025 Offseason Season Thread Vol. 3

[Joey Bada]

Exactly. If he's okay doing a team friendly deal you resign him. If there's a trade out there for multiple 1st rounders(lottery ones) then you make the trade. Otherwise just stand pat. He's a contract for 2 years.

Personally preference would be nuke it all up but that's a no go for this FO. As far as Tyler right now, doing nothing is best option unless you can get a good trade deal or a get him on a good contract.
I'm not in favor of dumping him for whatever

The jokes write themselves

The move is to rebuild. If FO doesnt want to do that. Then punting for a year is the best option. The worst thing they can do now is talking long term contracts for ok players like Malik Monk

Does this place get tired of explaining very basic concepts to people who just want to complain because they spend too much time on Twitter?

The target should be Trey Murphy. New management in NO. Looking to make deals. Less expensive than Brown. Will cost fewer assets to get him. Get your knock off KD while Dumars is woozy.

Hey we agree!

Pelicans want a lot for Murphy

I saw they wanted a veteran playoff caliber rotation player, a young promising player and first round picks. Miami would likely have enough. Murphy is making only 25 million as his extension kicks in and he's 25. He's had two months of high level basketball in his career really. It coincided with him getting more opportunities because the Pels were a disaster. So maybe the price gets lowered a bit considering there isn't really a track record. You make the investment in him and hope that his time as the #1 option later in the year before he tore his labrum is a sign of things to come. I'd take the swing.

Nepo babies can be great and successful. Who you know can take you a long way. That doesn't mean they are beyond criticism or scrutiny.

You are the one who brought up Nick being a nepo baby being an issue.....I couldn't care less who someone's dad is.

Spoelstra only got his foot in the door in the NBA because his dad was the GM of the Trailblazers back in the day. Doesn't mean Spo isn't an all-time great coach.

I called him a nepo baby. I didn't characterize the fact that he was a nepo baby as an explicit issue. I called attention to Nick Arison as someone who is literally in charge of all basketball ops but escapes scrutiny on here. Sorry if you're a big fan of his and took that personally, but I think it's worth consideration.

Talking about Spo having a father that was part of an entirely separate organization which surely helped him get an entry level position in the NBA is a weird detour in attempting to turn my post into some sort of study on nepo babies being inherently unqualified as a whole. What the hell is going on here?

The fact that we turn on our own so quickly that leads to ridiculous nepotism dialogue let’s you understand the fan base we have.

We’ve enjoyed an immense amount of success in the last 2 decades, even in non contending championship seasons. We struggle few seasons and we curse the same people directly responsible for all the success we’ve had that we’ve all enjoyed.

Struggle & adversity is part of the process. This ain’t the big 3 circus era anymore. No microwave rings. It’s tougher now to not only build contending teams but to build something that will stay competitive long term like Heat prefers to do. I trust little in the league to strategise, manage & make necessary decisions to get it done. & our FO is one of the vry small handful.

You spoilt, arm chair GM’s woulda run this damn organisation to the ground yrs ago w/ asinine trades & decisions. Slow your role & let professionals handle the everyday decisions to run a million dollar organisation.

There’s those of us that shed light on the truth and then there’s those like you still living in denial.

This looks like a layup for ol Patrick but we’ll see

[3ballbomber]

So we’re just assuming Dame suffers a freak injury in Miami where he tears his Achilles because that’s what happened in Milwaukee? Honestly if you get Dame and he Jimmy and Bam get you a championship last year, as unfortunate as it would be, I don’t think many of us would be regretting the move at all even if he tore his Achilles here. Bam and Jimmy were on the cusp as it was, dame is exactly what that build was missing. KD too. Can you imagine someone beating us with KD plugged in on that 2023 team? I sure as hell can’t.

We can’t assume the more likely outcome of an injury occurring (which actually did occur for the other team), but to make your point, you can assume the less likely outcome of it resulting in a title (which did not occur for the other team)!? How can anyone have a good faith discussion like this, when you are allowed to speculate in extremes and whataboutisms, but others are not, even if our whataboutisms are much less extreme, based on evidence, and closer to real outcomes…

Because it feeds his feeble mind about his tiring, repetitive disgruntledness for our FO. Same dumb sh*t everyday, rinse & repeat. He wakes up screaming about Riley & vents on this forum like a scorned woman lol

Who ever mentioned Bam for Brown has to be the biggest idiot engagement farmer known to man and shame on us for even entertaining such non sense. Jaylen Brown just had surgery and was in a hospital bed last time i saw him.

“Miami is in no man’s land because of the organizational torture chamber they’ve put themselves in” but it’s only ungrateful Heat fans saying this

As for your comment, stop it lol you know better!!

Do they have a 1st rounder that can unlock future picks for us?

Also any expirings or promising young prospects? (Obviously don’t expect Reeves)

That pretty accurate stuff coming from a Lakers guy. I couldn't tell you diddly about the Lakers cap situation.

I'll be fine getting a prospect like Knecht back in any deal for Wiggins. Hachimura, Vincent, and Knecht for Wiggins and Highsmith is a trade match

[3ballbomber]

3ammy… where is the evidence? Even if its concepts of evidence, how do you feel so sure we would have won a championship with Dame? I am on the edge of my seat!

There’s no evidence. It’s the same spiel that involves his love for Bam & his hate for Heat FO. That’s it. this is literally what his posts are predicated around.

This! I do love Bam and I know for a fact the front office is washed up. Both are true. Now trade Bam and clean out the front office

GOTTA get a 1st rounder in that trade.

Wiggins has proven he’s a difference maker in his Finals trip with Golden State. They NEED his defense to take pressure off Bron and Luka. Hell I’d throw Jaquez in there if we get Knecht and a 1st. Jaquez gets to go Mack to L.A win/win

I think all they have is a 2031 1st to trade but i'll take it

You know I was a Knecht guy in the draft last year. I'd be happy to take him in a Wiggins deal as a more athletic Duncan replacement.

I was very shocked we didn’t take him
