Which of the top prospects do you like best for the Heat?
Hey man what's up this is Samson Hotel well but I think you're all getting it wrong on what the Miami Heat are doing everybody keeps forgetting about Anthony Edwards like I said continue doing what he's doing this 2324 we used to get get 20 + Wiggins points per game what's the two first round picks and say we get the first round picks right Alfred Tyler hero Andrew Wiggins Triple J Nicole over to the two first round picks for Anthony Edwards I think we'll have the best offer for them

Waste of time just tank it's a wrap

Crazy u give me better analysis about the draft than the bigger channels. Honestly I'm conflicted on what the Heat should do as far as tanking. One thing I do agree on is playing the young guys. Spo need to consider it now! Looking at the schedule though, after the hornets, the next 6 games are brutal and the Heat potentially could lose all those games which would put them even or under the Bulls 🤷🏽♂️
if we tank then i hope we trade tyler because he deserves better
Them blowing them leads are the nicest way to say let’s Tank
What do you mean should, the evidence is in, Coach has done a masterful job of losing games, without the experts noticing?
Up 6 with 4:09 to play, Q3
DM pulled for KW
(KW adds 3 more to lead as the Q3 ends.
KW only player with a + result, good reason to leave him
out of Q4?).
At least one full timeout and the major timeout
Between quarters and DM can’t find his way back
on the court till 5:52 left in Q4 Mia down 3.
TR played all 12 minutes of Q4 and shot
0 for 2 and no assists.
Heat should upgrade the roster with high upside young guys to develop. I wouldn’t make a trade for a #1 quite yet, maybe in the 25-26szn of after.
Right again Ant, I say put the G-league Champs in so we can tank productively, ranking is our ONLY chance to get Bam a ring in his prime. We all know now that Fox DIDN’T have a list like Dame was REQUIRED to have, & that the Mavs didn’t even put Luka on the market.
Today I had to readjust the side-eye I already had fixated on Adam Silver’s pale alien lookin ass to a maximum degree beyond disgust. Tanking is the only play to make my guy.
We could realistically tank down to 8th pick, still be in the East play-in, lose that and see if we climb up in the lottery. It would all be worth it, even if we don’t end up getting Flagg at #1, getting Harper or Edgecombe would be massive. And if we just get the 8th-12th pick, that would be awesome too.
We could trade up using the GSW pick, or trade both for a player we need, whatever it is, it’s good.
Slithering into the playoffs to get our ass kicked and lose probably the best draft position we have seen and will see in years will not help us. Simple as that.
Even if we get a low lottery pick, say 9 or 10. Do we have the assets or picks to trade up to #1
Spo gotta adjust. During halftime teams adjust to the playing plans of miami, spo don't adjust he just hopes it fix it self
Ask OKC about the basketball gods. The gods have forsaken us.
We should definitely tank at this point. We are already bad as is. Having our young guys get blown out in the first round doesn't teach much of anything. Next year will be scary, but we should be a better team than this year. We won't have the whole Butler fiasco weighing this team down. Wiggins and Mitchell will be fully integrated into our system. Our young guys will have another year of experience. Spo will have time to reflect on what went wrong this season. I just don't see us being worse next year.
They dont need to try to tank. They doing that anyway. And we can tank. Perhaps not the reg season, but we can take the play-in. That being said…i would rather pay okc and be done with it
Yes. They should tank. Like King Trump said “the Miami Heat does not have the cards rn”
Tank!
Get Danny Wolfe from Michigan. He is a 5-year player, 7-foot more skilled Slow-Mo a future star in NBA. Dylan Harper, Ace Bailey, Derrick Queen and John Tonje from Big 10 are great too.
Cooper Flag is the best player since LeBron came into the league. He will give James fits next season
playoff basketball IS fun. but this team in the playoff is fun in a comedic way. what is genuinely fun is watching jimmy on gsw. everything spo was trying to achieve done 100x better
fans: heat should tank
heat pundits: heat don't tank
fans: spo sure sucks then
heat pundits: spo stealth tanking
We need a PG and a solid bench that's it
Danny Wolf France Wagner type
Maxime Reynaud jokic type

there is no sense in getting moral victories. id rather get a top prospect . lets not delude ourselves that we are going to the finals, im not even comfortable getting past the play in with this team . we have rozier aka tank commander we good .
Reality Check Lets just support himmy thriving 🔥
Please STOP comparing The Heat and Golden State Warriors before and after Jimmy Butler's era….
It is not because of Jimmy Butler the Miami Heat is losing so many games ,looking to what we have seeing lately in games.
That is a COACH ISSUE!!!!!.
It is Inconceivable” losing to almost "all those teams" when the Heat has been winning the first 3 quarters of the game by more than a dozen points.
Is that Jimmy Butler's fault??? .
Come on!!!!!. Where is your knowledge of Basketball????
Where's your common sense. Are you watching the same games we are all watching??????. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 .Spoelstra" is a good example of.."Too much of anything is bad" – meaning that having an excessive amount of something, regardless of what it is, is not good and can lead to negative consequences.
Key points about this phrase:
Moderation is key:
This saying emphasizes the importance of doing things in moderation and avoiding extremes.
There’s less than 20 games left on the season, “tanking” isn’t realistically possible based off everyone (including the Heat) continuing to win at their current win %.
The Heat aren’t tanking, they are just a mediocre team with an overrated HC. People like Tobin want to pretend they are “Tanking” bc they refuse to stop drinking the CULTure Koolaid and don’t want to admit how bad this team truly is.
When I say bad, I mean NBA purgatory bad. Only good enough to dominate the bottom feeders, split with equal teams and lose to the better teams. Even when they get an upset win they will follow it up with a loss to a team they shouldn’t.
I would like for Spo to give those rookies some playing time
