2025 Miami Heat Regular Season Thread

[HeatFanLifer]

OMG another day with these same bull Herro/Bam takes. They're on the same **** team trying to win games for US FANS. Some people will like Herro more than other. Some people will like Bam more than others. Stop trying to force your feelings on either player on to others. Stop with the stupid trades. Stop with the constant smart remarks. That's it. That's all. This isn't directed towards any one person either. It's a general statement.

Our feelings do not matter whatsoever to Heat management and the only current or former player who browses the realgm board is Luke Babbit. If one finds oneself stressing over criticism of a player, then keep in mind we are but voices thrown in the wind of no **** given.

Funniest **** is how Jimmy was hyping up the GS Warriors just weeks ago and now he is talking all this **** about the team. Look, I was a fan of Yimmy. I think if Bam was healthy in the 2020 finals they would have won it all. And his run to take the team to the finals as an 8th seed was a run of the decade. With that said, **** you Jimmy. Don’t trash the Heat for trading your washed up ass. His physical abilities have decreased, but his team wrecking abilities are ever more fine tuned. Dude is gonna be running his mouth till he gets waived in the final season of his contract. The Heat won that trade. I am becoming a bigger fan of Wiggins every day.

Uh oh trouble in paradise there Jimmy? Dude got his money, just shut up already. What's that old saying? "If everyone else is always the problem, maybe the problem isn't everyone else." Keep that joy up!

Could always be worse, we could’ve traded a 26 year old top 5 player in the league generational level offensive player for an over the hill star who is now going to be traded meaning we essentially traded said 26 year old superstar for nothing

I knew this was coming. This is why iv been on the trade for AD campaign since he was a Laker. But the Rozier situation is a real problem

I don't feel like this will happen but I agree lol. There are people here who are simply not Heat fans, so their main objective is not the team. Some are open about it, others are not, even though it's obvious.

My thing is, they are both on our team and actual Heat fans want them both to do well. But stans need a scapegoat to prop their player up or to solidify their player's roster spot so he won't be traded.

It took Bam 9 seasons to start to look competent offensively. If any Heat fan is saying that prior to this year they looked at Bam as a guy they could say "go get us a bucket", they are probably lying. I'm not talking about the ability to hit an open mid range jumper, or take it to the rim without traveling or losing the ball or finishing some good passes for dunks or layups. But consistently looking like he has a bag where if you put him on an island against his man, he has moves and counters to score with efficiency (shoutout A'ja). And even that was only what, 7 games until he got injured, so we have no idea if it'll even be sustainable once defenses adjust.

This is why I view him and Tyler similarly, but for different reasons. They both have shown limitations in their games that make them not 1a caliber. Tyler has never been anyone you can depend on to stop his man, in fact he's historically been a liability there. I don't think he'll ever be competent one on one defensively, but he certainly needs to be at least as far as team defense. And if we can give Bam to season 9 to look dependable on both ends, we can extend the same grace to Tyler (or until and if he's traded).

That Jimmy train is never late. They made a lil late season run because Jimmy came in fully rested from not playing for us. I said the Warriors weren't doing anything this year

Realistically, what are you trading to get him? Assuming we can use Terrys salary. His age and injury history doesn’t scare you with his contract? I mean the Bam/AD pairing would be the best big pairing in the league by a longshot but is that enough to put us over the top and is it all worth the risk?

I've been thinking about Jaquez leap this season. Is it really because of the new offensive scheme? I feel like a leap was inevitable. I didn't think it would be to his level but he did show signs of this during his rookie season. Last season was bad but during his rookie season he basically played the Jimmy role for us and did well some nights.

Also how has his defense looked to you guys. Last year his defense was also bad but I feel this year his defense has taken a leap as well. He's not an elite defender or lock down guy, but he's also definitely not a traffic cone.

He said a big part of it was that he was fighting injury all summer before his 2nd season and it kept him from being able to put the work in and polish his game the way he wanted to. Who knows, maybe Jimmy was a massive dick to him behind closed doors too and he was shot mentally as well

That could be true too. He was banged up most of last season as well. I feel like Jimmy liked Jaquez but you could be right. You never know what's happening behind closed doors.

Ima say this as someone who had to punish my own reading eyes when people told me theyre not willing to move Ware or Herro for Durant.. people who told me that Herro for Lebron is a no..

Im trading both Herro and Ware for Anthony Davis… Anthony Davis is better than both of them combined, by far.. and neither of those players will ever touch his acolades let alone ever be a third team all nba player.


Furthermore, the Heat have made their position clear this offseason, by trading expiring contracts for a guard who matched every statistic that Herro had, but yet was still more efficient.

They emphasized their position by not offering a max extension at the deadline, which would have costed them less then than extending him in 2026 which is 206 million max.

Clearly the Heat and Herro both have differences of what the contract should be.

And Giddey and guys like Randle, Myles Turner, all who i have rated higher than Herro, is proving the Heat right.

Herro is not in the long term plans, he does not
Move the needle to this current squad. Anthony Davis does, he and Bam together would provide arguably the best defensive duo in the league, and anthony davis is a high level offensive performer who has proven himself in the biggest moments.

He is also just 32, he still has a lot of good basketball left.

Its a no **** brainer here.

Some part injury and some part scheme.

Watch his forrays into the paint its almost always against single coverage, in space, and with a full head of steam. He plays to his strengths which is his lay up package and away from his shooting. That's the scheme. Last year, it was much slower, more ball watching because the offense was stagnant with pnrs. And since there was less space, he needed to be able to make his 3s. Lost confidence.

Defensively, hes been pretty good this year. Spo is using him exclusively at the 4 on defense. He doesnt need to chase faster players, navigate screens, etc.. His primary focus on defense is that paint area. He's been very active on the boards and in help.

Imo, spo is playing to Jaime's strengths on both sides of the ball and he is thriving.

His role will change again when tyler returns, so we will see if he can adapt.
