What's going to happen to a hand? Is he going to be permanently disfigured? This is the NBA Finals, there are no other games for another 4 months. You play him a few minutes in the first half to see if you can get anything out of him. Strus and Vincent were garbage and Lowry is mostly trying to flop his way into helping the team. You play him!

We agree to disagree. Yes, something could’ve happened that exacerbated the break and put him back in rehab for who knows how long. If they felt he was good to go, they would’ve played him. I suspect we’ll get more details from the coach and front office.

Congratulations to the nuggets for winning the finals, I'm proud of the heat for battling all playoffs with oladipo and herro out. Also with multiple players playing through injuries. It seems like we're always dealing with multiple injuries our last 2 trips to the finals, but I digress. We definitely need to make some roster changes though, like letting strus go, and finding a way to keep Vincent. Also we need to let zeller go, and maybe trade herro and other players and assets to give Jimmy some help. I think Jimmy has maybe one more season of being a number 1 option. Most importantly WE NEED TO GET BIGGER!, I'm tired of these small ball get destroyed on the boards lineups. Other then that im proud of the toughness and fight of the heat, we will be stronger next year HEATNATION

Butler Herro for Simons and portlands #3 pick. Trade said pick to Toronto for OG. Free agents targets: kristaps porzingis, naz Reid, Christian wood brook lopez, Pj Washington, maybe #18 for John Collins. Build around Simons bam and og and see if you can make another impromptu run to the finals.

Depending on the free agents Mia with a core of bam og and simons competes in the east, develop Yurt7, Cain and HH

And Mia not winning with him loser. Happy with that f***king loser then calls someone a troll for suggesting something that could benefit both parties. Crybaby whining ass losers. Don’t want him to go nowhere because y’all want the loser (jimmy referred to himself as one) What I suggested makes the Heat competitive younger more athletic. But lemme guess you losers want to run it back? And give me a break if Giannis never fell and miss those 2 games Mia would’ve already been home. Lol jimmy needs help but he was the one out there choking but is the star player? Mesmerized by 2 f**king games but he couldn’t do it when they needed him most.

Is season now officially over? Or is there a certain date it is. I ask because whenever season ends officially, Zeller, Love, and UD are gone, opening up 3 spots. I’d like them to quickly sign Orlando and Cain to 3 year minimums to restock.

I beg to disagree...Denver was averaging 116pts in the playoffs. They're way below this series so defense was just as even. Its the Heat's offense that ran out of juice.

I say, trade Herro, draft picks, Jovic, make one more grab for a whale. Failing that, trade Jimmy and start over. Keep Martin, Gabe, either way. Dunc untradeable. But, even if we get a star, still need a point guard, and a center. It honestly seems more likely we will end up wthout an A+ player. So, a teardown could very well be coming.

You want to trade your best player who is literally the heart and soul of the heat, and is the guy who wins in the clutch? Most teams would have collapsed at the end their but he made all the shots at the end to give them a real chance. I would trade bam and anyone else before him.
