I just want to say, I like Victor Oladipo, and I want the Heat to keep him in our long term plans.

I think its more of a timeline issue. We are on the clock and Butler is breaking down, Lowry is broken down and if we do want to compete, big changes need to happen. We know Duncan is trash, Lowry with his contract is also a negative asset to put it politely, Bam is the main reason we can keep our switching defense in place. That leave Herro as the odd man out. Ideally you dont trade him but with the flops of Duncan and Lowry, to make a trade you need to give up something of value to get value in return.


We are in Game 7 of the East Finals. What you talking about, bro?

And if we had Spida instead of Herro/Duncan we probably win in 5, 6 max.

I don’t think anyones knocking this team as is, or individual players. But many of us are team fans and would love to maximise the chance at rings. Dipo coming back fit next season affords us the potential to dangle Herro (with Duncan for salary ballast), in attempt to get a better fitting piece. We’re super deep, but this PO has showed us we need another piece up top. Why not try to get it?


Had a long post typed but it messed up. Basically this though, swap Herro with Mitchell Lavine Beal Lillard or Kyrie and we’re already waiting on the finals. There will be more names to come up too I’m sure. A Jerami Grant/Bey swap would actually help this team a ton and Bey fits now and the future with Bam. That’s last resort imo though, we need a big fish.

Bottom line, wether we win this season or not, we’re not going to win next season if we don’t make a major upgrade imo. Other teams will be trying to do the same. Hell the warriors may win it all and then trade for Gobert.

I’ll be shocked if Herro isn’t traded by the deadline at the latest

You know who could have been helping this playoff run? Dragic on the vet minimum. Not his big numbers from the bubble but his scoring ability mixed with him being a vet and bbiq but something something Gabe Vincent. I think he may have been fine being the 3rd PG on this roster. Also making that trading deadline for one of Washington, Rui or Batum would have been huge.

Our biggest needs remains what they've been for a while now :

1) A legit consistent playoff scorer to help Jimmy carry the offensive load, someone who can go out and get his own 20-25 points against good defenses.

2) A big that can take some pressure off of Bam and aging Tucker. That player needs to be a good defender and needs to shot and hit 3's to not kill the spacing.

Mitchell/Beal fit the first need, J.Grant/H.Barnes fit the second.

I feel like the second need is something we might be able to fill with the MLE/Tucker/Highsmith/whoever, but the first need is very hard to find and will cost us our biggest tradeable assets.

For now, I just want to see this miracle run keep going, despite our obvious shortcomings.

Celtics fans HATE playing Dragic because he kills them. Killed then in the bubble, think he was very solid round 1 this year too
