People celebrated when Rozier got suspended. I tried to tell everyone this is not a good thing and will likely not come to a conclusion until its too late to do anything

That was a good read on the situation, you called it a mile away. A possible solution might be to be ban Terry from a trade but give us an equal value trade exemption that expires at the end of the season just like Terry contract. That way we dont get to lose out on a possible transaction.


Trade exemption is the only way I can see the Heat getting some current relief from this situation. I do not see his contract getting voided until the trial has concluded. May be down the road the Heat gets compensated if Rozier gets found guilty.

Would fix our rebounding issues. Spacing now OK given Edrice has become a legit shooter.

Still, not sure Sabonis is worth the squeeze. I don’t hate it but let’s see if we can shake something better out.

This trade works contract wise.

Miami gets Sabbonis, Monk

Sacramento gets Herro, Terry, Jovic

Sac gets a young all star who will sell merchandise, an expiring and promising young player in Jovic.

For Miami, Herro and Terry have yet to play a game, and Jovic has been disappointing.

Imagine saving Sabonnis who would boost our rebounding IMMENSELY, while having Ware continue develop off the bench. That’s the best C/PF front court rotation in the league. And you get an offensive threat who’s shooting the 3 at an elite level this year in Monk.

Thoughts?


I’d like to see how Herro fits next to Powell personally.

Im skeptical because he didnt exactly work that well next to Myles Turner. They ended up having to stagger each other, which kind of defeats the purpose.

Sabonis is a perennial loser. Hes a turnstile on defense. Why do some many fans think the path to success us loading up on bottom tier defenders because that's what sabonis and monk are. They are regular season players.

Miami Heat's defense slipped back into the 5th spot in DefRtgs at 111.2. Ideally I believe the goal for the Heat's defense to the 109 ranges, below 110.

The main problem with the Heat is rebounding. The Heat are 28th in rebounding percentage at 66.%. The goal should be above the 72%.

Because of the bad rebounding, Heat are last in the league in giving up 2nd chance points at 19.3 points per game. The goal should be under 13 points per game.

Keshad Johnson has the potential to help in this area if he can get the rest of his game up to par. Last night, Spo gave Johnson a chance and he pulled down 11 rebounds.

This is one reason I was hoping Precious worked out because he has the talent to fill in this area.

Early watch for a potential buyout target and thats Khris Middleton. In the past Middleton was a okay rebounder average 5 a game. His shooting and veteran IQ should be a boost to this roster.

Offensively the Heat are 12th in the league in OffRtg at 116.5.

3rd in the league in fastbreak points at 18.7.
2nd in points in the paint at 57.1.
Powell (3.8), Wiggins (3.3) and Jaquez Jr (2.8) are leading the team in fastbreak points.
Like to get Bam back above 2.5 fbpts, he is currently at 1.1 fbpts.

5th in the league in 3p% at 38.3.
Heat are 27th in percentages 3 pointers attempted.
Heat are 19th in percentages of their team points are 3 pointers.

3 point shooting is the area I think the Heat needs a boost. They are shooting at a good percentage but its not big part of the offense. I think they can be more dynamic in this area by adding another legit 3 point shooter. Was hoping Jovic would be that but he is struggling in general.

So we had the 3rd best defense in the league before Bam got hurt, he gets hurt and we drop down to the 15th best defense. Bam comes back for 2 games and we instantly jump up 10 spots back into the top 5. It is a damn shame the best defender of this generation isn’t going to finish his career with at least 1 DPOY because of narratives, and basic counting statistics like BPG and SPG.

Somewhat of a hot take, Bam not winning a DPOY is even more of a travesty than our GOAT not winning MVP. Wade at least had the injury excuse, he had 06-07 locked up before getting hurt and should’ve won in 08-09. For Bam it’s simply just not getting the recognition he deserves. He’s been the one constant elite defender in this league since the became a starter. All defense every year outside of last years **** show of a season where he still managed to carry us to a top 7 or 8 defense. No one else in the league has done what he’s done on that end and all these 1 hit wonder DPOYs disappear after winning it shoutout to Smart, Jaren, and Mobley. Also shoutout to Rudy Gobert who is played off the floor every time the playoffs come around because he can’t keep up DEFENSIVELY but has like 12 DPOYs.

Good morning.
