It’s time for Erik Spoelstra to finally knife Riley, move into the front office, and find his own 38yo protege to install as head coach. Take notes from Brad Stevens’ Celtics coup: Give Pat a gold watch and a one-way ticket to Utah where he can join bff Danny Ainge as co-GM of the Jazz.
Dead the Jimmy talk please. Even with him on the roster we needed another Star. Jimmy alone was not enough.
Jimmy only has the last laugh if the Warriors win a chip. No title and Golden State just overpaid grossly. Either way gotta respect their Front office, doing everything they can to keep the team competitive while Steph has his legs. Respect them for that, wish a similar effort was made to get Jimmy some help
Hey Wes and David what do you guys think the chances are that bam requests a trade from the heat ????
The Miami Heat needs to tear this entire organization down to the studs. Coach needs to go. All starters need to be fired. They QUIT at HOME! The GM needs to go. The owner needs to send a message somehow.
I’m a 1988 Original Fan !! Last nigth was incredible. We can talk about Herro a lot , trade him etc. But I quit following this team because Bam Adebayo. I’m done with Bam media narrative. NO MAS ADEBAYO
Our roster building has been exposed , that bubble and play in run got Pat thinking he figured out the secret
I just knew these two Pat stan's would find a way to shift the blame away from Sleepy Pat 😆, yo Wes who won the trade again !!! 💯😂🤣
They need a reset, turn the page from Heat Culture, refresh the coaching staff with more offensive minds, Pat Riley needs to start grooming or searching for a successor, the Arisons need to vocally state they are willing to spend, and go from there evaluating each player as a bubble, not on their history with the team, etc.
Was making the playoffs “worth it”? No. But by avoiding those unprotected picks, you can actually bottom out and be bad next year if need be. Maybe that’s a plus. Total rebuild is what we need
Heat culture 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
As a die hard warriors thank you Pat Riley for literally giving us jimmy for absolutely nothing 😂🙌🏽
Dont let go of the rope. SPO
Ofcourse you have to fire Spo
Its been downhill ever since we lost out on Dame…then Jimmy left, and then we get bounced hard by the Cavs…Does Riley still have it?
New flash….if we still had Jimmy….the Cavs would’ve still scorched us. So yeah, we needed to get rid of him.
Time to hit the reset button for the Heat!
Jimmy was the engine and heart of this team, not Spo, not Pat. Pat wanted to be cheap like he always does with aging franchise stars and basically told Jimmy you're old and washed up, Jimmy took his talents to Golden state and pulled them up from the 11th seed all the way to now being up 3-1 against the 2nd ranked team in the west. The sad thing is, Jimmy genuinely loved miami and wanted to be here but the team treated him like chopped liver when it was time to extend and Jimmy said screw you too then. Glad Pat got to watch this horse crap live and in person. You had your days as the Mafia boss of south beach, now he's just a stubborn old penny pincher who's goal isn't to win.
As a Knick fan… I love bathing in these Heat tears! 😂 Thank you 😂
You can’t has a fan or an Organization say let’s trade our best player and expect to be great or good. The question is going to be who to keep and who to trade and let go. I don’t think front office or coaching needs change in this situation
Trading Herro and/or Bam should be on the table this summer.
What the hell you think would happen? Ya wanted Jimmy gone and this is inevitably the result. Jimmy was the Heat.
Aye Wes you got what you wanted
Yo ya trying so hard to ignore the elephant in the room?!! Lol you should’ve paid Jimmy!! 😂
BAM was Garbage,in this playoff along with Hero" know Heart!😱💔😥😡💀🐷💩👎
I disagree, the heat should have tanked. This was absolutely the worst possible outcome. Not only did they lose their pick by making the playoffs, but also devalued the whole roster. If I was a GM, I am looking at this team; nobody is worth anything. Not bam, not herro, no defense, no offense, and worst of all no heart. The way they ended this season, was the most fitting way to end this season. Those 6 games encompassed our season almost perfectly. 😒
The excuse y’all make for Herro! Y’all will never win another damn ring.
