2025-26 Miami Heat Regular Season Thread 3.0

[CWebb2491]

You have to wonder will there be a point where because of Herro injuries that he will finish the season as a sixth man?

They can’t justify putting him back in the starting 5 if the TRUE goal is to win.

He's the second highest paid player on the team who is looking for an extension. And hes still one of the 5 most talented players on the roster. Remember, he was public with his displeasure a few weeks ago when he came off the bench. . That's the justification.

That’s a “him” problem. Not really HEAT CULTURE to put yourself before the team. The team has shown chemistry when he’s out, and all that goes out when he returns. It’s been a few times already. Teams are heading towards having 2 way players at every position. He’s a liability on defense and a liability on availability at this point….

Nothing we didn’t already know

Imagine waiting for a player who publicly stated he will not ask for a trade……

This is why teams like the Celtics won a title the last few years. Their front office makes deals to improve now and not rinse and repeat the same “Hope we get our guy” we been in that exact scenario since we got Jimmy. How do they have no shame?

Sure, but that Celtics team already has its first and second options firmly established, you could argue both can play like superstars in a playoff series. So making trades and all that is easy for Brad Stevens when you have already a foundation.

The Heat, on the other hand, don’t have that. Bam isn’t a true 1A, and maybe when Jimmy was still here we could’ve pushed a Dame trade, but the NBA essentially shut that down.

We’re going to get Giannis by this summer at the latest.

Robert Williams is another player I think the Heat should look at trading for at the deadline. My first choice would be Porzingis

Its more likely they dont get giannis if they wait till the summer.

Put the best offer on the table now. If the bucks say no, then move on. None of this rozier for ja type nonsense.

Then Miami should make a trade to add a 1st round pick to TRULY go all in for Giannis.

Scour the league and see what gets you a 1st

Wiggins (multiple teams interested according to reports)

Powell
Herro
JJJ

At the moment we will have 4 tradable 1sts this off-season.

If we can get at least 1more 1st we’d have 5 firsts, Ware, JJJ, Kasparas, possibly Herro to offer. That would put us with as best an offer as any.

Sounds alot like our game threads. Switching isn't the problem, it's personnel.

If you put bad defenders on the floor, you are going to get unfavorable switches.

Last night, okc set screens to get wiggins off of sga. And instead got pelle (who was great), or sometimes bam, and even powell (who was also great down the stretch) once or twice. Then provide enough resistance until help arrives.

You also need enough for giannis to believe they can contend right away and not in a year or 2.

Trade Wiggins, maybe get a pick.
Trade powell, maybe get a pick.
You cant trade herro because you need him and ware as the centerpieces.

Im not sure giannis looks at a roster of bam, davion, pelle, and jovic and thinks "We are contending".

Giannis needs to get extended. He holds the cards. It doesnt matter what the bucks want.

I just saw Ja Morant’s stats..

I was told a few days ago i was overrating him, that he is not that good.. that a ja and bam foundation is not worth building around.

The price went up after just one game in which he reminded the league he is still one of the most explosive playmaking guards in the league. He has been injured and has had this lone off year. Always been better than any guard we have had here since 2020.

Hey Pat, go offer Rozier and Simone now

You honestly think a Ja, Bam and Powell core would beat a healthy Pistons and New York team?

Hello Heat fans! Is this the deadline Miami shocks the world again? (not being sarcastic) I'm seeing the possibility there.

Ware Jovic
Bam JJJ
Wiggins Larson
Powell Herro
Ja Mitchell

Can beat any team in the East.

Terry, Simone, Kasparas, 2 2nd round picks for Ja

Ware and Bam aren’t going to start together, and I don’t see that changing anytime in the future. A lineup with Ware, Powell, and Ja would get hunted relentlessly in the playoffs. The spacing is questionable too, especially with Ja’s inconsistent shooting.

Sorry, but if you’re going to take a gamble, trading for Ja isn’t the answer.

I’ll save my ammo for Giannis though.

You are obsessed with this. Ja Morant, a player for another team, has been HORRIBLE this year, has one good game, and you are celebrating him like your team just won the championship. So the next time he sucks ass and his team loses, are you going to call him a **** bum like Herro? Or is that reserved for when he's actually on our team?

I'm open to trades, but until something happens I'm still going to root for the Jovic's, the Mitchell's, the Ware's, and yes the Herro's, to bounce back and play better, because they are still Miami Heat. And I'm not going to sit around cheerleading for other team's players because we might trade for them. If it happens, it happens.

Also answer me this, Schroedinger's Herro... Tyler was always trash and not any good, but also he was enough to get us a star during the Jimmy era but we refused to trade him. Which is it?

The reality imo is he wasn't that great, he was offered up in deals (saw him appear in tons of rumors) and nothing happened because he didn't have enough value. Nobody can ever point to a deal that was obviously on the table and turned down by refusing to offer Herro, but that's the narrative being pushed (which is a big reason I think so many hate the guy on here). He was definitely going to be in the Dame deal but Portland and the NBA nuked that from orbit.

AirP! Welcome back buddy, glad to see you around these parts.

Let’s hope it is - we need a serious talent upgrade, would love for us to find a way to make some noise. We have more assets than we’ve had for a while.

[Crazy-Canuck]

This is potentially a disastrous 5 game road trip coming up. With or without Tyler, just getting 2 wins will be tough. 1-4 is a likely possibility.

The schedule makers were drunk on this one. I dont care who the opponents are. Every game is in a bad spot. B2b, 3 in 4, b2b, 3 in 4.

5 games in 7 nights on the road is just brutal. Only the Utah game looks winnable.

Then its a 1 game homestand (which is basically an extension of the road trip), then its another b2b followed by another 3 in 4. All littered with travel plus a b2b2b with the bulls.

Fuxked up, brutal schedule to start the year and now that it eases up (team record wise) we get screwed over by travel/scheduling. Hope they can pull through and take care of business.

I have spoken with AirP (who was traded for Canuck and Vagelis in the Jimmy/Wiggins trade) through very specific back channels, if what he’s speculating comes to fruition we are going to be very happy
