Goran averaged 17 & 7 post asb last season once we started running. If we could showcase him this year putting up 20 & 7 we could get a serious return for him at the deadline.

He's locked in cheap for the next 4 years making about half what Conley is getting. Now is the time to recoup some value.

Timing is everything

Had Wade started getting serious about leaving sooner, the Knicks would have signed him instead of Lee

Even if Waiters hadn't shaken loose, what's the upside of bringing ellington on? Better players were available and for much cheaper contracts. At no time he is worth that much even for one year. He's not helping you win more games this year and he doesn't have upside like a Derrick Williams or Dion Waiters who are still in their early 20s

I'm saying if Waiters shook loose earlier, we probably wouldn't have signed Ellington (my preferred scenario)

Who's minutes get felt on if Ellington and Mion plays rotational minutes? Must be a ploy to get Bosh to take the year off and reconsider

What's so bad about the Ellington signing? Year 2 is a team option. If he sucks he'll only further the tank.

Despite being the low end on wins next year, I personally liked how Miami handled their offseason very much, and have it ranked higher than the rest of their division (which will be posted through this week).

Regardless of how pissed out fans are at our off season, I think we recovered well. Not because of the signings but solidifying a core that will keep the Heat contending for 5 more years. We actually lucked up into last season and by luck got as far as we did ( No one expected Deng to excel after the alstar game; The rise of Richardson; Hassan a beast off the bench, the signing of Joe). In the end our luck just ran out.

Now we have pieces that can play and make our team very promising for years to come. I am sure dragic or Roberts will be traded, and I see promise in reed, ellington, weber. I didn't want KD to be honest he something about his character wasn't right with me. But I am a big picture guy.

Contending for the lottery? We don't have a single Championship building block except possibly Whiteside.

I think we have been spoiled by having mega superstars that we have forgot what winning is without them.

We have Winslow, Whiteside and Richardson
A coach who has done well in the 8 years as head coach
We are in the eastern conference
Dragic is no slouch
we have players that we have brought up from our D league (Champions by the way) A d league team who we have proven that can be a great asset to the heat

Lets get past the off season and move forward with out promising talent

PG : Dragic /Weber / Maybe Beno?

SG : TJ / Rich / Ellington / Waiters / Mcgruder

SF : Winslow / D.Williams / J. Johnson / Babbit

PF : Maybe Bosh / D.Williams / J. Johnson / Babbit / UD

C : Whiteside / Reed

==================

Where the hell are we getting minutes for all these SG's?!?

Tanking with 3 max contracts and a poison pill sittin' upright, sounds like a bad hustle

Hopefully they're up to something and not dancing to randomness

All these moves indicate that if Bosh can't play, we're gonna go for trades and try to acquire some picks. All of them are 1 year deals, all of them are tradeable.

If Bosh can play, we'll push for the Playoffs and still have flexibity for 2017.
