Official Miami Heat Off-Season GT - Saving you from IggieCC

[Wiltside]

So can we sigh Nicholas Batum then? If we split the MLE between Avery Bradley and Moe Harkless, we should still have the BAE to use for Batum.

Just checked his stats, what the hell happened to him last season? He's only 31 lol

Fair to say he fell off a cliff.

Could he be resurrected into a useful role player? Maybe. For a minimum I might take a flyer on him, but jeez, he’s been pretty bad for a couple years now. Charlotte will do that to a guy.

I really like drafting Achiuwa and signing Bradley with Harkless. Heat look like they can be better next year.

PG - Herro / Dragic / Bradley
SG - Robinson / Nunn
SF - Butler / Iggy / Harkless
PF - Adebayo / Achiuwa
C - Olynyk / Leonard

That 12-player rotation gets no minutes for KZ. When there’s no G-League he needs to be getting minutes this season.

Is there possibly still a trade to go down? Nunn/KO/Iggy for ____? Then sign Batum to the min to replace some of Iggy’s minutes.

So without a g-league season, what do the 2-way deals (Vincent) even mean?

Miami did not get worse as it seems to some fans. Jae Crowder and Derrick Jones Jr. are the only players we lost. Derrick Jones Jr. never played a major role on the team and we have enough time to replace Jae Crowder with someone better. The Heat can trade for a player or find one in the buyout market to fill the power forward position. The defense that Avery Bradley brings with his contract will be a great help against Jrue Holiday and that is an improvement for the team. What no one takes into account is that Bam, Tyler, Duncan and Kendrick will play much better. Tyler, Duncan and perhaps Kendrick are likely to elevate their talents to the All Star level. Precious Achiuwa is faster and a better shooter than Bam. Our rookies were of great importance last season and I think Achiuwa has the talent to do the same. Everyone expected us to sign a star player and that is what makes us believe that we are getting worse. Just sign a player like Serge Ibaka who plays for the Spanish team in international competition and everyone who feels a bit pessimistic will change their mind.

Y’all complaining about Leonard’s deal...Tristan Thompson got the same deal but fully guaranteed from the Celtics. Maybe y’all would have liked that better....

I believe that our young players will be a lot better ala Toronto after the finals. Just he fact that they had an extended playoff run and the experience of playing in the finals should be invaluable

[HEATVols865]

Woof! KCP $40M for 3 years...Im sure yall would have preferred that over Leonard’s deal too...

Lol @ people trashing Crowder.

‘Heat lifer’ ain’t gonna pay your bills in retirement. You gotta do what you gotta do.

These cats get paid more than any of us ave joes get in 10 lifetimes. You don't need 3 houses, 10 cars & 50 watches. We talking about a Championship, something that we're very close to attaining....and you jump ship.....str8 after reaching the finals & lost the way we did? Some people cut from a diff cloth.

[3ballbomber]

Not bad...

wld always be weary when he was on the crt against us in PO's. He's a solid role player imo.

Houston is confusing.

Trading away Covington seemed to indicate they were ready to tear it down.

The signing of Wood seems to contradict the notion.

Maybe they view him as an asset to later move for picks. Who knows.

If it's a teardown, PJ Tucker is the ideal Crowder replacement.

Players have the right to pursue long term security, nothing wrong with Crowder taking the multi year deal. Personally I don’t get the romanticization of this guy, fans pulled the same crap with McGruder. He’s just a guy. Avery Bradley is going to make us quickly forget about Crowder.
