Wiggins played injured the last part of the season with the Heat.
He missed half of the games and played injured the other half of the Heat games and scored 19ppg.

Heat fans judge him instead of appreciate him while playing injured.

As I see in the net Suns want him, Lakers want him, Sacramento want him and Warriors want him back.

If I were the Heat I would try to keep him and acquire Durant.
Wiggins is a 2 way player and this is the way to win in playoffs.
Teams with 2 way players win in playoffs.

Herro is a big problem in defense and a bad decision maker.
Cavs targeted Herro the whole series and Heat had no answer.
A Herro for Morant trade would be a good option for the Heat.
Heat need a pg.

And Ware, Robinson, Rozier +2 picks for Durant.

Spacing would be atrocious. You need shooters somewhere. In your build this is has none besides Durant. One high level shooter in your starting 5 and none on your bench. Not just guys who can knock a shot from the perimeter. Guys other teams actually gameplan to keep from getting shot.

NBA teams obsession with picks is so stupid, it's like a false economy they've all accepted.

The only time a pick is really worthwhile is when you hold your own and loose your way to a top pick.

For example, how valuable are all these Orlando picks now that they're team will should be picking 25-30?

Meanwhile, the best two players in the league are not top 10 draft picks

The new CBA has shifted how teams think. Rookie contracts have become so valuable that even if a young player develops into just an average role player, it's already considered a win. Super teams are thing of the past.

He just doesn't look happy here. Maybe the City is not for him as a laid back person.

Durant is not ending up in Minnesota. If we lose out it will be to the Spurs or Houston.

Sometimes it’s just a bad fit. There’s no need to force it.

If i’m the Suns i want Rozier and the cap savings over Wiggins. Give me JJJ and make him a starter day one with Booker and Dunn off the bench.

Obviously for some reason he didn't want to face some reporters.
From the first day he came to Miami, there were articles about trading him.

He may thought that it was his last game with the Heat and maybe this is not wrong

It's hilarious he's calling our guys soft when the guy they're trying to trade is literally nicknamed "cupcake" :lol:

Of course he wants to play with Wemby. Everyone wants to jump on his coattails.

No doubt it's the only young core that can truly rival OKC's roster.

The Suns are probably pushing to add Sochan and using us as leverage, but in the end, they'll likely settle for Vassell, Barnes, and the 14th pick.

Then ships Vassell for Nic Claxton for a 3-team deal.

Channel this directly into my soul. Outside of the WCJ, he's too slow to play in the NBA imo.
Miami / Chicago / London

Return to Miami Heat
