2025 Miami Heat Regular Season Thread

Great start to the season with a pretty rough schedule (still have a rough stretch of games ahead). Defense has slipped a little with the Bam injury as we were top 3, now at 6th. Offense is ranked 11th overall, if Bam and Herro can help the offense when they return we should be able to jump in the top 10, we’re not far off of 6th as it is.

I hope we keep the same attention to detail and are as locked in going forward after we get passed this brutal 20 game stretch to start the season.

Can't wait for Herro to come back and after a week or two of integrating into this offense, shutting all these geniuses up the same way Wiggins has. The nonsense repetitive crap I have to read here daily will eventually fade. We will hear the I told you so bullsxxx if he doesn't play like Steph right of the bat, but him and Powell, with Bam and Wiggins on that starting line up, is going to be fire!!

Ok Herro

Hope you’re right

Not many deals I can see the Heat making. Only player that would make sense would be Giannis. (Where wouldn’t he make sense!)

Package around Herro, JJJ, and picks.

Giannis in this offense. Crazy!

Giannis is the final infinity stone for this team.

Problem is that Bucks got off to a good start so far and if they continue like this he won’t consider a move till at least this summer.

Herro is another Fontecchio in this offense right now. Thats good. Simone is averaging 11 points in 19 mins. Thats 17 pts per 30. Id expect Herro to absorb some of everyones pts and be around 22 a game. In the flow of the offense. Kid is a great shooter. Ive got no worries.

[GopherIt!]

AD?!?!? LMAO. The dude they gave up Doncic for? Yo, Giannis or bust. Any player, any draft pick, any management personnell, or any poster on this medsage board for Giannis. I would be coo with Bam, Herro, Goodboy, and Goodboy’s Lats for Giannis.

where is Goodboy’s Lats these days?

He’s banished to be here, no where else to go. Saw him posting like 2 months ago. Poor guy still has that name.

He still has the name? dang. and he has to look at goodboy every day. oof. all he has to look forward to in life is two-a-days. poor guy indeed.

Another Fontecchio? lol. So According to you Fon could replace Herro if given more minutes? He'll average over 5 assists with a higher than a 2 to 1 TO ratio? He will be a closer just like Herro and he will also be able to create his own offense and set up others like all those allie opps we are accustomed to see with Herro and Bam. Ohhh and he'll also be able to get to the Freethrow line and rebound just like Herro. Gotcha.

In a good way. Fontecchio has been awesome for us. If he plays off the ball more, he allows others to max out their skillsets (Jaime). Wasnt a dig at Herro.

Everyone always posts... trade This or that... Does everyone take into consideration the fact that if we get a game changer We would lose One of our two game changers??

at least either bam or herro Would be gone... Maybe both... a Championship would be super difficult In either case

Give posts a second thought because These players are very nice to have On any team Even if they are not...

"The one"

The heat can't afford to subtract we need to add

If you're trading, you have to give to get ; getting a player like Giannis inevitably requires 3 or 4 players if you're not giving up a star.

Bam and picks for Giannis makes Miami a better team, imo. There are very few other trades Miami could make with Bam where Miami would get better, but that is one of them.

Miami has Herro's "replacement" in Powell. Herro for Morant potentially makes Miami a better team. Herro for T Young or Lamelo Ball is probably a lateral move from a team standpoint.

I've said this in several posts already, but my issue with Herro was his role as a primary ball-handler. With the offense Miami is currently running, that is not a role Herro should or needs to play anymore. This is an equal-opportunity offense featuring 4 guys who have proven they can be 20ppg scorers (Bam, Herro, Powell, and Wiggins) and that is allowing Jaquez to flourish. It may turn out that Herro's skills fit better in this offense than previously.

My take is Miami wants to keep Herro, but not at any price. Miami is probably comfortably paying Herro ~4-years, $150-160M (it would be $183M-$193M over 5 years including the $33M he'll make next year), but I'd bet Herro and his camp are probably targeting something much closer to $45M/season over 5-years, which would mean an extension of 4-years, ~$195M.

Yes offense looking great even without Bam and Herro. We haven't a top 10 offense since 21-22 season!

Fontecchio has been a great addition, no doubt.

Hard to say a championship would be more difficult without Tyler, we’re however many years into his career and he’s yet to show he can help on the postseason. This might be the year if we get there

Jesus. They dont know which direction they wanna go.

Shocking that trading their star PG and building the Bulls West didn’t work out for them lol.

We can talk about backseat GMing on the forum all day but I doubt many on here would do what the Kings did and I’m fairly confident no one here would trade a 26 year old Luka coming off a finals trip for an older injury prone AD

Im not sure theres a single player on the Kings I'd want the Heat to trade for. I don't like centers that don't defend (Sabonis), Lavine is just another Herro/Powell with worse shot selection, Derozen is like an ancient Jaime Jaquez. Westbrook is old.

Maybe Keegan Murray or Devin Carter if anything.

Context matters though. Felt like every game we had was a chest hurt game - how many clutch possessions are in this table per player?

Our offense last year was also terrible, and end of game possessions often ended with late clock Herro isos that generally are a no bueno.

I’m keen to see Tyler in the flow of this offense. It’s open, everyone eats, and he’s a big time shot maker. Say what you want about Herro, but he’s hit a number of huge shots for us over the years down the stretch. He isn’t afraid of the moment.
