Heat and many teams with this new CBA are in a tough spot. Heat are a win now team with Butler's age and injury record. They really only have 1 more year to make a run with the team as is. Besides Butler and Bam...all of the team's money for next year is locked up on Lowry ($30M), Duncan ($18M), Herro ($27M). Strus and Vincent (replaceable) will bump up 23-24 to the midrange $10-12M+ and will likely have to be traded at that cost. It's solid that Caleb and Highsmith are still locked in at low cost. Besides Herro nobody else is desirable from a trading standpoint. Almost $50M for Lowry and Duncan is atrocious. Like every team in the league everyone is searching for a top forward player who can defend 1-5 or at least 1-4 and put up double digits. Next season will likely be a repeat with Heat, Bucks, and the Celtics being the real contesters and Sixers one step back.

big mistake by eric not to play hh big mistake not to have big yert ready to rumble with a guy his same size.and to continue to start g leaguer max .gabe gets somewhat of a pass ref took him out of last game.this game he was horrible.but gabes been ok offensively but suks defensively just to small.

Those guys have won a lot of playoff series in Heat unis. I would be more than happy to have them back next year.

That being said, we probably shouldn't have two of those guys starting next year

feel bad for jimmy tho. he can drag you into the finals, but he needs a robin. bam aint it. this offseason lets get dame

Expand full comment

Jimmy and Bam are both fantastic. They've taken the Heat far in the playoffs multiple times. But right now they're both getting outplayed by Murray and Jokic.

Dame is always hurt. Dame has missed the 2nd, 3rd of the season 3 year straight. He's stealing money from Portland.

Expand full comment

Dame is rarely hurt. Last season was his first real injury. This season he just sat out so the Blazers could tank because they are a clown show of a franchise right now.

Expand full comment

not true superstar.save him for playoffs play him jimmy 60 games

yup bams a good player all round just not a point getter

Portland Trail Blazers Receive: Tyler Herro, Caleb Martin, Nikola Jovic, Victor Oladipo, No. 18 pick in 2023, 2027 first-round pick, 2029 first-round pick

Terrible trade. Miami needs a good two-way, pass first, point guard who can shoot 3's, a two-way SG who can shoot 3's and a two-way PF or C who can stretch the floor. Miami also needs to develop Yurtseven, Cain, Highsmith, Jovic and O. Robinson. Strus, Vincent, Love, Zeller, Lowry and Duncan may all be gone next year, one way or the other.

They want dame so bad it’s embarrassing. He’s small oft injured and a cone on defense and tbh if I were trading for a guard I’d rather take sharpe or simons over lillard.

Expand full comment

Not for Dame "Always Hurt" Dollar.

Expand full comment

Rather trade jimmy there get that number 3 pick and build around build around that. Only reason not bam cause he’s younger.

Expand full comment

get some bruce browns aaron gordons 2 wayers,fk these one wayers sick of them

Expand full comment

jimmy bam dame can win a chip

Expand full comment

Dame has the worst SG defensive rating in NBA. Heat can't win without a two-way PG (VanVleet) and a big who can spread floor to help Bam in the paint (Brook Lopez? Isaiah Stewart? Wendell Carter? Zach Collins? Omer Yurtseven)?

Expand full comment

No they can’t

Expand full comment

hhh fan behave we came in 2nd place whos your team

Expand full comment

for dolphin fans there interested in dalvin cook that made my sports head feel better.im pissed at jimmy right now

Expand full comment

next year jimmys needs to be our 2nd best player bam 3rd.gotta get dame here

Expand full comment

They need a playable center outside of bam. As much as I love dame, a 6'2" player on a max contract is NOT what this team needs

Expand full comment

Dame is a waste. Always hurt.

Expand full comment

let me ck that

Expand full comment

lillard shot 57% 2s 46% 3s get his ass down here pat jimmy needs help

Expand full comment

Another small player. Sure

Expand full comment

I want dame ,but I feel like the nets might get him.

Expand full comment

y we got assets and picks ty caleb picks it looks like its between us and nets we got jimmy and bam .they got bridges and not much else.dame wants to win he comes to south beach

Expand full comment

really making it hard for themselves. they dont want it the easy way. oh well, on to game 5

Expand full comment

Good game. The better team showed despite the Refs helping the heat a bit much to give them a chance. Butler needed to be the guy but wasn’t there today.

Expand full comment

we got all the whistles butler suks.what happened to him

Expand full comment

He doesn’t suck. Just had nothing left from the previous 7 game series and Gabe, Martin, etc came back down to realistic shooting numbers.

Expand full comment

of course he doesnt suck but w/o him balling out we have no shot vs denver

Expand full comment

Time to trade him

Expand full comment

Hopefully the panthers can win the cup.

Expand full comment

2 minutes from being down 3 0

Expand full comment

We need to make some trades and some sizeable acquisitions. Also need a bigger line up next season. Time to smoke the pain away.

Expand full comment

boston fans sitting home bucks fans watching unreal year heat with 2 good players and 13 scrubolas

Expand full comment

We don't have a point guard. Bam at point kills the ability of this team rebounding.

Expand full comment

go panthers

Expand full comment

Max and Gabe combined to go 4 for 27 in the last two games.

Turning back into pumpkins.

This was a shocking playoff run for me at least. Looked like a new squad. But the 3PT woes from the regular season have returned, and Denver is simply far more talented.

Expand full comment

The Cinderella analogy is spot on. The clock seems to have struck midnight

Expand full comment

i think denver can beat the heat without joker thats a scary thought

Expand full comment

spo u suk to terrible spobot.max and gabe start next game

Expand full comment

Honestly they should sit everyone who has any trade value so they don't get injured.

Expand full comment

kevin love was like our best player in first half hardly played second half

Expand full comment

do we fly to denver save some $$ mickey on expenses

Expand full comment

It's time to blow this shit up. The Heat will never win the chip with this team. 😒

Expand full comment

Herro butler to Portland for number 3 pick. Let the garbage g leaguers who suddenly forgot how to play get money somewhere else.

Expand full comment

Win or lose I'm still proud of the heat

Expand full comment

Again thank you. Some of the commentators are here are just to root for a loss. Like if I hated the team this much and didn't believe in any of them I would just turn the game off and not commment on it. It's a great team to be proud of

Expand full comment

Expand full comment

Thank you. Like maybe we lose, but seeing some "fans" dumping on guys playing this hard after making the finals is really lame to me

Expand full comment

I'm sure a lot of team's players played hard, doesn't mean they should be happy with how their season went.

Expand full comment

Yeah but we should

Expand full comment

Playing hard?

Expand full comment

Yup, I don't confuse missing a shot with bad effort. But some folks just won't pass up a chance to dump on their team
