Take it up with Heat Management


Take it up with ME!!!!!!

I think we've moved on from the Whiteside issue. Guy would have been a beast in a slower era but he was too slow to be what we wanted him to be here. The dream was Whiteside and Bosh. It became a nightmare. Hassan quit on Spo. Will Butler quit next? Doubt it.

Hopefully we will see more variety in play calling for the big 3 and a tighten up consistent rotation. Want to see play calls that put Butler and Bam in position to score. Want to see Bam and Butler going to the free throwline.

What's a family w/out fights. No such thing as perfect relationships. Need altercations to tackle & address issues. No better time to air things out than before the real season begins. We either implode or become closer/better as a result - I'm going w/ the latter. Jimmy is family. He's bought in to our culture & has improved our team. We paid him to honour that. I ain't even worried about it.
If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

This stuff happens behind the scenes and the public got a glimpse of it, the only thing it effects the Heat is now they have to talk about something that probably happens way more then people think, in fact it's one of the things Butler himself said he loved about Miami's team/organization. I'm surprised things like this hasn't happened faster with Butler there. Even though they all know it's coming from the right place, if you or whoever you're talking is very upset, that line you use to be able to go up to gets moved.

Man, I care. And we should all care. That’s why I fit in here. They got me to be me. I’ll get on guys when they’re not doing their jobs and they’ll cuss me out when I’m not doing mine. It’s not personal. It may not always come out that way but I mean well. That’s how they want it here.

Losing Crowder was huge, not just for what he did on the court in games but someone who could actually challenge Butler to keep him in check basketball wise, there really isn't one now, Tucker's probably the closest one that could do that but at this point it would have been nice if Bam became that player. Kyle helps but they really need someone who can go at him on the court
Lowe reported that Crowder — who now plays for the Phoenix Suns — wasn’t afraid to call Butler out when needed. Butler was clearly the team’s best player, earning an All-Star selection after averaging 19.9 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 6.0 assists. So, when the two players started talking trash during a practice in the bubble, they got “heated,” according to Lowe, and decided to clear the court to play some one-on-one games.

Their smack talk then reportedly got pretty bad.

The trash talk became so profane, and so personal, it was borderline uncomfortable, team sources said,” Lowe wrote.

He's getting close to being 28 years old.

Looking at him last year in GS he looked like a quality bench guy shooting nearly 40% from 3pt range taking 3.6 3s a game(60 games). Miami had looked at him before in 2019 bringing him into training camp.

Miami did bring him into their 2019 training camp so he's been on their radar, maybe him doing well last year on a quality team where he just had to fit in makes Miami believe he can help the Heat's bench next year. I think Miami is looking for some short term minimum contract level contributors when they go over the tax next year. Just looking for players who can handle the role they want him to do and fit in with the culture, basically giving him a test run.

The Golden State Warriors have signed G-League standout Mychal Mulder to a 10-day contract marking another chapter in his incredible underdog story.

Playing on a stacked Kentucky team that featured future NBA stars such as Jamal Murray, De’Aaron Fox, Bam Adebayo, Malik Monk, and Skal Labissiere, Mulder struggled to crack the rotation.

He’s going to replace Strus next season when Strus replaces Duncan. Shooting insurance.

Listening to people's reactions reminds me how unique my relationship with my circle is. Is very similar to how this current cast of Heat players. My circle are former "has beens" athletes in a variety of sports. We talk trash to each other daily in person and even through text. It can be a simple round table discussion about a movie, BBQ, sports, or l hell even video games. I had a coworker join in our our fantasy football league and I notice he was quiet at all the post we had on Facebook. He told me "man yall hate each other. how are you all are friends? i don't want no beef so I stay quiet." I laughed because I forgot how we may look as friends the way we talk trash to each other and people may not be aware how we poke at each other for fun. A lot of it is to motivate each other to win. We motivate each by challenging each other.

Same, my friends and I are constantly going at each other, especially when it comes to something competitive. We’ve all been best friends since super early in our lives so it’s more like brothers

PJ Tucker has shot 22% (9-41) from 3 in his last 19 games.

He's only made three 3PTers in March so far.
