We got Gary Payton at the point
Don’t be surprised Durant coming to Miami in the future
Grade C. Continuing their outdated 'pattern of disregard' of draft capitol (throwing away 2 picks over Tucker in 24 hrs) is horrific. Heat may actually have had 2 opportunities to trade for KD, before and after the Jimmy trade based on reports of what Phx wanted from us, but ok, I get it was a long shot. Regardless here's the kicker, while FO may covet Ware, Captain Small Ball will find a way to have him out of the starting lineup b4 the end of the season, put bam back at 5, and Heat oriented podcasts will be justifying it..book it.
Stop lying to these people
They definitely improved because Jimmy Butler play for the past 2 years. Two really good defenders. what score is 8 one score 17. Plus first round pick. I'm so excited and happy because I've been trying to get rid of Jimmy Butler for 2 years because he's a lazy bum
Shane Battier, Alonzo Mournng, UD, Chalmers, P.J. Tucker, Whiteside. Lots of lockdown ballers for the Heat.
Adding players to Wes's list that would fit on this roster: Mason, Grant, Majerle.
A- is about right. I’m not mad. I have a feeling Davion is going to become a fan favorite.
It will be 20 years without a Championship coming up…. Holding on to Mid Players, will take you NOWHERE ‼️. Only Bam, should be hard to trade, NOBODY ELSE Kd will pick Dallas, Houston, Minnesota and others, over Playing with Tyler and Bam… Kd Ad Kyrie BY FAR Better Than Kd Bam Tyler😂
I would have my sights set on Ant Man or Jalen Williams as the next big move, without being married to it. Don’t wanna see this team wait around for whales anymore. We have a pretty good foundation forming, and we should just be in the mindset of constantly improving it.
This last build we were just waiting for some star to come and save us. Running it back, circling back to bad players like J Rich, being passive and uncreative. I hated it.
We kept everything together and added not subtracted at all
Fun facts, are two rising Stars K.Ware 20 and Nikola Jovic 21 are already big contributors to Miami. The future looks bright for the Heat 🔥
Friends trash, that's common knowledge
The heat just robbed the warriors!🫢😆😂
Calling Jimmy a "regular season role player" when he was a 3x All NBA, 2x All-star selection in 5 years in Miami is crazy revisionist. You can say he didn't always bring consistent effort, but he was a very good regular szn player who became legendary great in the playoffs. Don't disrespect him.
I dont like how they gave Wiggins his number 😊
As a warriors fan… yall are getting a perfect fit for Heat culture in Wiggins. 2 way player …def worth more than the 25 mil he’s getting. He was the most beloved teammate on the warriors. Oh and he’s Jayson Tatums father too.
Should have been Donovan.
How dare David not like Friends.
They are better on the regular season. Let's see in the playoffs.
Wes is such a slappy. See how you're loving Wiggins in a few weeks.
The jew likes sienfeld😅😂 me 2
Ramil with the Friends slander is diabolical.
I’m super glad they didn’t make that KD trade. It’s no way KD takes us farther than Jimmy did
I like the Davion fit
Been watching him since Baylor
I like the trade, they now have flexibility . Remember KD is about to turn 37!
Yea im kinda bummed as well all this fot not much its always wait-wait-wait……
FRIENDS IS A GREAT SHOW 😅
We in 2025 I hope we can score!!!
Wiggins disappears in games. Like you don't even notice him. I give it 5 games before Heat fans turn on him. Jimmy Butler halfassing it (this year) has the same stats as Wiggins.
Miami is a a championship team bra playoffs is underrated dude Miami just has to be coached up they have probably 5 all stars on that team they not a 500 team Spo has to coach young talent. Wiggins can be a low grade all star
Wiggins and Mitchell defensive abilities will help against Milwaukee and Boston for sure.
Long live David & Wes!!!! 😊😊😊
Great podcast as usual guys 🔥
When we got Wiggins I thought “oh that’s straight, then I saw Davion Mitchell it was more of a hell yeah. I love the trade
The Heat now has a more balanced team to win more regular season games, but it's playoff ceiling is the 2nd rd, and that's only if they catch some good breaks in the 1st rd.
The Heat are still in the worst place to be. They're too good to miss the playoffs, thus not getting a higher draft pick to potentially draft a future star player. While also not even close to being good enough to win a championship
The chess move would've been taking Beal and the 3 FRPs from Phoenix to finally have enough picks and young players to land a whale like Anthony Edwards, or whomever in the near future. While also still getting a productive player like Beal to help you stay competitive right now.
