He was a professional and represented the organization well on and off the court, no bad words from me just well wishes.

Hope he gets healthy and is able to live up to his potential.

I remember when we drafted him all we would hear is how Winslow has that Heat Culture running in his blood. How Winslow represents everything about about our culture. He was the Anti Beasley, and just like Beasley is traded off the team. Hopefully he gets healthy and finally learns how to shoot.

Really had high hopes for him, and still do, he's just gotta get healthy and learn to finish layups.

Little known fact: he was one of our best rebounders, ball handlers, and playmakers this season.

We never got to see the best of him. Whether it was injuries or playing out of position, we never truly committed to maximizing his potential.

We saw flashes of greatness. Unveiling Point Winnie last szn was a master stroke, and I really thought this was gonna be his year to truly break out.

Injuries didn’t allow it, and then we had Robinson turn into one of the premier floor spacers in the league. It was hard to see where he was going to fit on his return.

Nothing but best wishes to Rook 1. I hope he develops into that perfect ball handling wing to compliment Ja and JJJ in Memphis.

Ja, Justise and Jaren. Meant to be I guess.

Once Butler got there, it was the end for him

He's an interesting player, overrated and underrated at the same time. Hope he can fix his health issues.

Wish him the best. In particular, better health.

Back injuries are no joke.

He didn’t develop as fast as the Heat wanted. It wasn’t entirely his fault but he was still so young...

Man we traded him for a 36 year old Iggy though?? Blah

Fare well.... it sucks. Thought Richardson and Winslow was the future.

Will miss watching plays like these. An interesting opportunity awaits in Memphis. Sometimes a change of scenery is all a player needs to get out of bad juju.

Best of luck Winslow

This hurts :cry:

As long as Winslow gets over his nagging injuries I think we are going to really regret this.

Mah boy Winnie, you will be missed. Never thought we'd lose Winslow for what we have received in return.

Price of dumping one season of JJ and Waiters too. Bummer.
