As the Miami Heat come off a tough home loss against Minnesota, and now will be without Jimmy Butler, we ask whether they really need a trade…. if they can just get everyone healthy. Ethan Skolnick and Greg Sylvander hold this discussion in the shadow of reports that Donovan Mitchell may be interested in a trade to Miami at some point.

The team needs a point guard. And the tyler is the best choice too get us a star level point guard. In my opinion.
To be honest, I would like if the hawks where willing too trade Dejounte Murray for Tyler. I think he would be a great fit and provides both offense and defense making him a solid 3 option
Can't believe i'm saying this about a Heat team BUT my biggest concern is the effort on defense…Spida does not solve that.
Jimmy is guietly quitting in games ,let's get real didn't Jimmy carry this team during Bam development and Hero ,Tyler was cold at the end of that game ,Jimmy came in with 4 minutes left he sat for how many minutes,he only had what 11- 12 touches the whole game , he is defending Towns the fourth when he comes in ,he needs the ball to start example the bulls game ,you keep saying he is the best player still l keep saying everything has to be in the flow of the game, not Bam has to get his ,Tyler has to get his ,they played better without them ,they should never had given that contract to Tyler and gave into his demands , the bubble year they got Iggie and Crowder ,would have won except Bam and Goran got hurt ,what did they do before this season Josh ,Bryant ,question how old were Wade and Lebron when they played all those games your talking about ,keep saying the Jimmy carma ,if l am hearing what your getting at ,and as far as that shot he took your podcast is the only one that has a problem with it,Jimmy still gets the most attention from the other teams defensive,so shouldn't he have the ball to open things up
Well damn…Ethan really put his foot down on this one
Tyler, Bam, & Jimmy are actually a perfect complement to each other. But Jimmy has to allow them to be so.
Clutch key:
Drop coverage = Tyler gets the ball
Slow footed big = Bam gets the ball
Small guard/bad defender = Jimmy gets the ball
Need a 3 = Tyler
Need to get the team in foul trouble = Jimmy gets the ball
Need a quick score = Tyler or Bam if it’s full court
Jimmy still wants to be the answer for all and getting another “star” will just clutter the offense. Jimmy will either do nothing or do too much. PASS!
Pat needs to get on the phone with Chicago and trade Herro for Vucevic. Herro is holding Jaime back. How you go from averaging 17 points off the bench than shot chucking Herro comes back he only has 8 measly points. Smh.
Donovan Mitchell will not help the point of attack defense. I say Caruso is the trade we should be trying to make.
This Orlando game will be interesting,so funny Jimmy had the double team 3 last year that put them in overtime,don't need defense,need more offense let see how that works out against Orlando, don't we know what we got when the 3 play together, it becomes the Bam,Tyler show ,ever since Tyler got the starting job ,Spo is the coach so it must be his game plan ,so that puts Jimmy no.3 ,yet you say he is still their best player you are talking in contradictions,and can we get over the Lebron stuff ,he has always had great players around him ,look at him in LA he made the management do things to make the team better,Jimmy,Caleb and Jaime play great together ,they play off of each other ,as a team,should be in the fourth
Thank you! Jimmy is a big part of the problem. He's checked out mentally half of the season. Not saying that he needs to be traded or anything, but it is frustrating.
They have already observe those three together this year. They've had the opportunity to evaluate that team for the past 5 years. What more do they need to know. Other than they cannot win a championship playing small ball.
Heat should trade for Dyson Daniels, trade anybody except for Bam and Hymie, keep Duncan too, get a nice PF
Maybe it is time to think about trading the 34 year old max player who gives a half assed effort every regular season and wants a max next year. Sorry. yes 2 finals in 4 years. zero rings and not close to a ring either year.
If Bam is the future it is time to think more about Jimmy than Tyler. If you really thing JJJ is so good than your core is Bam, Tyler and JJJ not Tyler, Jimmy and going you can make a trade for a 3rd player. he is 34 with and knees and a lot of mileage. He is on the decline.
You sound like a old man lmao players have always been injured they just played through it and now there body hates them it’s okay not to injure yourself over sports
If Tyler gets traded it’s on the coaching staff and jimmy because either they should have let him develop into the closer we needed or jimmy should do his job on a nightly basis and close games out so everyone can stay in there role
