Miami Heat Regular Season Thread 21-22 Vol. 4

[OGMacgyver]

Woooo comeback a few days later and some are digging for some drama like you are Stephen A Smith. Dipo has always been comfortable and enjoys being a media face figure. He has also shown he goes into hiding when he not comfortable with the organization. Dipo was stepping up and proudly being a Heat face figure early this summer. You got to remember Dipo been in the media spotlight going back to his college days. He enjoys it and he is a veteran at it. As I told you he impress the organization how professional he was and proactive in working with the business side of the organization. He has earned the Heat trust in a short period of time that he will represent the organization in high regards and with professionalism.

Now it doesnt mean he will 100% remain with the organization but all signs are pointing there is a very healthy relationship between the two. I believe at the very least, if all offers being equal this summer he will resign with the Heat.

I believe you mean re-sign.

And don't go blaming auto-correct. That's no excuse.

Jesus everybody just likes to b**** and moan on here.

I don't care about individual agendas. Im not a fan of any individual player here. Im a fan of the team so I don't care for these PR stunts and have had my fill of the Dipo vibe. He hasn't earned anything yet in my eyes. These guys have been busting their butts and Vincent especially has had some great scoring explosions this year alone on par with what Dipo has done. It's fine but let's prepare for Philly now.

You’ve been crying about Yurt all damn season now you’re saying you don’t care about any individual

[3ammy3uck3ts]

I love the journey of the rising of a healthy Dipo as much as the nxt guy. I'm pulling for him to continue to get back to elite level. I do understand the significance of stepping up when Butler & Lowry were out. But am I the only one not taking too much out of his performance vs a mediocre defensive Hawks team that trailed us throughout the series? I'm keen to see him vs tougher match ups in 76ers/Bucks/Celts esp. if our backs are against the wall & the pressure's on.

Dipo has a lot to thank Miami for. I think we all understand this. I doubt he has any negative feelings towards us or any situations here. If he does then that's for front office to address. I do think it has been a complete blessing for him, to be here. After all his riding w/ the East 1 seed w/ a bright future & future all star young guns.

Are we just going to discredit every great game he has in a Heat jersey from this point on? I mean damn no wonder the media runs with the **** narratives about this team that they do, we produce them ourselves lol.

I’ll counter what you said by saying with our only true PG and our best player out Dipo took over a playoff game on both sides of the court and ended a playoffs series that we 100% did not want to drag on further. Against an ECF team from last year by the way. That was a HUGE game and a great sign.

[3ammy3uck3ts]

I personally will be very disappointed if we don’t retain Dipo this summer considering we have his bird rights.

Rumors of Mitchell to Miami due to the Wade connection are ramping up right now but I personally have cooled off on the idea if we can have Dipo at a much cheaper price and go full force at a very good 4/5 to start next to Bam.

You little troll, i didnt cry about Yurt, his rebounding could be crucial to the team. Go suck off dipo like the little demon slut you are. No surprise you can't comprehend anything with your low iq. Were you exposed to lead as a child?

Ok, so this is interesting numbers with Duncan Robinson, after his explosion in game 1 he texted his co-host of his podcast to ask him to look something up about him. Duncan had a feeling that he shoots better during the daytime, he said he felt like he was around shooting around 60% from 3.

So what you'll hear in the video if you watch/listen to it...
Time(and earlier)/Games/Pts/3pt%
4pm, 21 games, 12.1 pts, 46%
3pm, 13 games, 13 pts, 51%
2pm, 11 games, 15 pts, 53%
1pm, 7 games, 19.3 pts, 56% <- game one was 1pm.

They start talking about this after 8 minutes.

I would so much rather find out what 2 firsts and Duncan can do in the market for a 4. Then try and lock up VO long term.

Oladipo sensibly gets a 1 year deal with a team option for a second at this point. His history of injury is too much of a factor.

Mitchell is an overpaid chucker that would take the ball away from Butler. He's not the worst star to team up with Butler, though and Herro would flourish in a white market like Utah.

At this point Herro is a more efficient player than Mitchell but Mitchell is proven ( a proven loser ). It's a gamble but if the Heat underperform these POs it's one possibility.

Ps. Mitchell's defense is not much better than Herro's.

Herro isn’t more efficient that Mitchell and you’re not factoring in the fact that the opposing teams entire defense is schemed to stop Mitchell every night. He doesn’t have the luxuries Herro has.

That number would actually be $50M not $40M I believe.

Would trade Herro for Mitchell.

Lowry, Donovan, Butler and Bam would make for an ultra dynamic quadrant. Throw in the likes of Strus, Vincent, Oladipo and Caleb, and you have yourself a well-balanced championship contender for the next 5 years. Would hate to see Yurt go though.. especially to a team like Utah. Also, if we do retain Victor chances are that he'd want a starting spot, but the fit wouldn't quite be right with Mitchell, Butler, and Bam already in the starting 5. You'd want at least 2 shooters surrounding those guys, and you need Lowry to run the offense..

But meh.. an argument could be made that it may be better to just keep a growing Herro when you already have Victor Oladipo (who looks as if he'll be able to get back to full strength) on the roster. Dipo is very Mitchell-esqe with the super athletic abilities, long arms, and quick first step. While Donovan is definitely the more profound offensive player, Victor could counter that by being the better defender.

But then again, another argument could be made that you don't win championships without a true alpha scorer on the roster.. and Mitchell's 28ppg career playoff average does look hella juicy..

Are you saying Butler is not an alpha scorer?

That said, getting Mitchell will take the burden off Butler to produce as he gets older. Something Herro is expected to do if kept.

You do have a good point about opponents gameplanning Mitchell as the primary guy. That said, I think if you compare this postseason's numbers, Herro compares more favorably than you think. And he's younger.

I love the journey of the rising of a healthy Dipo as much as the nxt guy. I'm pulling for him to continue to get back to elite level. I do understand the significance of stepping up when Butler & Lowry were out. But am I the only one not taking too much out of his performance vs a mediocre defensive Hawks team that trailed us throughout the series? I'm keen to see him vs tougher match ups in 76ers/Bucks/Celts esp. if our backs are against the wall & the pressure's on.

Dipo has a lot to thank Miami for. I think we all understand this. I doubt he has any negative feelings towards us or any situations here. If he does then that's for front office to address. I do think it has been a complete blessing for him, to be here. After all his riding w/ the East 1 seed w/ a bright future & future all star young guns.

Are we just going to discredit every great game he has in a Heat jersey from this point on? I mean damn no wonder the media runs with the **** narratives about this team that they do, we produce them ourselves lol.

I’ll counter what you said by saying with our only true PG and our best player out Dipo took over a playoff game on both sides of the court and ended a playoffs series that we 100% did not want to drag on further. Against an ECF team from last year by the way. That was a HUGE game and a great sign.

Who's discrediting? I thought I was pretty clear I stated it was a significant performance w/ Butler & Lowry out

You know what I've just wasted 10 seconds replying I can't get back
