Miami Heat Speculation Thread - 2020 and beyond...

[Bishop45]

Who can the Heat afford outright? I'm partial to Young Thaddy, and Giles

The pool for wings or point guards isn't very large, unfortunately. Not against drafting Josh Green or Kira Lewis and wishing to the stars

Would like Kris Dunn for cheap in theory, but mans can't shoot

Got to go rooks I think. Cost controlled labor for a few years. Train em up and pray for the best. Get me a big with tools and a two way guard. If we can buy a 2nd, then I think we can do it.

If we could land a guard with 2-way potential it would be a successful offseason(if not a stronger Okpala, or in addition to a stronger Okpala)

We don't want to get any younger if we're trying to get back to the finals, but at the same time this might be the straightest path to quality prod at a controlled price.

This is funny, the reason the trade didn't go through at the deadline was because he wanted a longer contract.

Yea, very strange comment from Gallo conidering.

Maybe he had a change of heart, or maybe he now sees us as a contender, when he didn't before.

This might open the door for a 1 year big money deal. But..that means Goran or Crowder are gone. We cant pay all 3.

Probably would move Olynyk to clear room if they go after Gallo

Healthy Goran, Bam & Gallo wld have given Lebron diarrhea. Gallo wld have been huge for us in the finals.

I still want him on the team. a Lengthy shooter who can further space the floor. He's exactly what we need.

After seeing what he missed out on i hope it changes his perspective abit about chasing money over being involved in something special that he can be a part of.

At the twilight of his career he'd be great off the bench on our Championship run in 2021. A ring-less, hungry seasoned vet wld be very handy.

I definitely see your point. Our youth reared its ugly head in the playoffs when Bam and Herro were having WTF moments that a seasoned vet might not. However, their contributions were a major reason we were there in the first place.

I don't know how good of a player we can get at 20, and with an early 2nd as well, if we can buy in. However, the youth really balled out this year, and we may have enough vets as is to hold the fort down, while they develop during the regular season. I don't see anything short of a miracle in free agency pushing this team forward any more than it has come this year. Getting some young guys to fill holes and develop might be the most economically efficient way to operate, like it or not.

It wld be interesting to know the crop of players interested in Miami that will reach out to Riles this offseason. I'm excited come Oct 18th (or when ever FA begins) for potential movements, rumors & reports. I see us making moves to bolster this team.

You're not wrong.

I could see DJJ and Leonard not returning. Us drafting a stash like Cassius Stanley and signing DJ Augustine/random vet PF like Patrick Patterson(or resign Crowder) and making at least 1 trade for a back-up C(Randle on our bench would be cool)

It feels like there are several draftees within our range who will fit the bill of players we could use.

I don't think KZ will be ready to contribute heavily yet. Taking Jae's spot for example, if we can't afford to keep him. He feels like a guy who will need a full season of....seasoning. He's a very solid investment though. So much length, defensive upside, and offensive potential.

Wonder if a big will fall early second. In a spot where we're ready to pounce.

Not in love with the bigs in this draft, rather sign a cheao one tbh. I wish we could gamble on Bamba for the low, but I wouldn't want to throw away an asset like Nunn to get him

[Heat3]

2nd place ROY and 1st rnd pick for a 35 year old? No thanks! He's guy that you get cheap when he becomes free through buy out or free agency.

[twix2500]

Looking at Lamarcus Aldridge situation, I think he is a player that would sign with the Heat for the low in 2021 and a possible buyout player if he is not traded.

[BFRESH44]

Think we're going to be IN on the Jrue and Dipo trade talks. Two guards who can create and can defend at the point of attack. Whether they ultimately materialize or not remain to be seen. But Pat is going to be very aggressive. We're close.

[Heat3]

Bring back Whiteside on the cheap!

I'm down with some of those options Bish.

Giles would be handy, and Dunn would be a solid option as a reserve. He's not a good shooter, but he can put the clamps on and would be a decent defensive guard option when required.

Always kinda liked Thad too, wanted him in his draft year tbh.

feel like Dipo's going to get Otto Porter money despite injury concerns, but if there's mutual interest then I'm with it. Not sure there's enough for Goran in that scenario tho

I dont think Goran is going anywhere.

Hard for me not seeing Heat make room for Goran. Too much respect by the franchise and Butler. Very unusual move by Heat even let him play yesterday
