Miami Heat Regular Season Thread 21-22 Vol. 4

[harlem_ball]

You make the Herro trade for Mitchell and then figure out the rest of the pieces. Dipo may have played his way to a decent contract on another team.

Dipo still has some upside, perhaps a Derrick Rose like rebirth.

Luckily we have dipos bird rights

Maybe a sign and trade could work too. And maybe Jazz will do a Conley for Lowry swap.

[harlem_ball]

There will be options.

[harlem_ball]

Herro will do great in Utah

Im a fan

[dshearn]

I really think Dipo does make stomaching a consolidation of talent more palatable. Moving out lowery/duncan/herro and picks to get a stud and a 4 would be easier with Dipo on board i think.

Side note-

Everyone else notice how clean end of season/playoffs Highsmith been from deep in his limited time? Looks like the next Duncan/strus is already on the roster.

Lol new times gotta get use to it. People pulling up the trade machine throughout the playoffs when that team has a chance to win a chip.

Imagine seeing people talking about trading Ginobli or Derek Fisher in the middle of a Lakers Spurs series.

Jimmy F'n Butler playoff stats are Hall of Fame worthy!

28.3 pts on 18.8 fga, 53.8 fg%,
7.6 rbs
5.6 ast on 1.1 TO = 3.3 ast/to ratio
2.2 stl
Offrtg 119.2
Defrag 103.4
TS 63.5
EFG 58

All this at a pace of 94

Butler should be promoted and praised in the media but you guys are spamming the algorithm with trading PJ Washington for Grant. I have seen every player named in a trade on his this past week including Butler name. Crazy weird but it is what it is.

Trading Herro and Lowry for Mitchell could be seen as similar to adding Durant to the Warriors during their title run. That's why it's a talking point at this point. Of course it could all backfire if Mitchell comes and becomes a diva and ruins the chemistry.

Doesn't shock me. Fickle fans were doing the same throughout reg season each time players have a bad stretch. Imagine posters here wanted to trade Jimmy - He's currently having himself a hell of a playoffs putting up fantastic numbers.

They still want to trade Jimmy. They were just talking about cashing out on trading Jimmy while his stock is high. And to be real, there were a lot of Heat fans who didn't want to trade for Jimmy.

Jimmy Butler, that guy putting up those crazy numbers, put the call in for Lowry this summer. You guys can forget about a Lowry trade.

[puppa bear]

I have no doubt we'd be interested in Donovan Mitchell. Many of us wanted him in the draft, only for Denver to take him a pick earlier (and trade him to the Jazz).

Real question is, are we willing to give up on Herro for him? Tough call, but ultimately, Pat being Pat I think he'd do it.

I’d pull the trigger but who would we have to include to get it done?

I assume Herro, Duncan and our 2022 FRP possibly gets it done. Maybe I’m overrating Herro’s value but could see that being somewhat appealing to Utah if Donovan asks out.

We’d need to add another pick and a swap, IMO. Utah will want to stay competitive & need those picks to add to Bogey, etc to improve the roster.

On a positive note post gm int. Jimmy was asked about Herro getting a lot of attention, double teams & blitzes. Jimmy stated Herro is doing a great job of accepting the blitz & making good reads/plays out of them. He then adds how tough it is to be blitz all the time but said he looks at it as a compliment that you're a very good player if they're constantly sending 2 players @you. In classic Butler form says he mustn't be very good player since they're not doing it to him but he'll take it & ends w/ "keep doubling Tyler"

An interesting comment that indicates just how dangerous Philly thinks Tyler is to throw couple of bodies at him all series but not Jimmy. Jimmy then feasting on the attention Tyler is receiving. Yet here we are discussing Tyler trade scenarios


Doc Rivers then put himself in hot water w/ Heat fans after saying how Jimmy has been vry comfortable this series & he may have to do something he doesn't want to do. Interesting if they'll now throw numerous bodies @Jimmy instead in gm6 & wether that will help open up Herro's game. One things for certain they will change coverage for Jimmy. Hopefully Herro gets free & explodes to shut fickle fans up for a bit.

I think we need to not have Lowry starting next year. Whether we have him coming off the bench, or move him may be up to a combination of Jimmy & how we finish this season.

Either way, if Spida is a possibility for us we do that, then shape the rest of the roster around Spida/Jimmy/Bam.

10 games in to the playoffs:

5th best offense, 2nd best defense, 1st in net rating.

We’ve been the most dominant team so far

Apart from that one game in Philly that we won’t talk about, Heat are Bogey catching fire for one game (they still only lost by 1 point) and Harden turning back the clock for a quarter from being 8-1.

When the team isn’t f***ing around they seem like they’re on a mission and are working single minded my towards a title, in a way that no other team seems to be. Warriors are the only other team showing regular flashes of that drive. We could end up with a Heat-Warriors Finals …

They're sticking tight to all of our shooters and forcing Jimmy to win his one on one matchups as our source of scoring. Jimmy is obviously showing he's up to the task. If they change the approach, that might be just what we need to open up the faucet from 3 on the road in the hostile Philly environment.

It’s funny because all the media is picking the winner of the bucks Celtics series to easily beat us and go to the finals lol
