Is the Miami Heat Youth Movement a Good Plan? #miamiheat #nba #podcast
I’m not against a youth movement. I’m not I don’t But there’s there’s different kinds of youth movements, right? Not every youth movement is created equal. There’s youth movements like Oklahoma City and Houston, right? Whose youth movement was based on several top picks, right? And you could talk about how they struck gold in in Oklahoma City with Shay Gildas Alexander. Okay, fine. They still had a top pick in Chad Homegrren, a lottery pick and Jaylen Williams, several other lottery picks too. Usman Jang who they traded up to. Like they used they went out and some of them didn’t work out. A lot of them did. And that was Kesan Wallace. All these guys. Houston, Aman Thompson, Jabari Smith Jr., Albrun Shangon. Just go down the list. All these guys, they still have Reed Shepard waiting in the wings there. That’s how you do a youth movement with the best picks in a draft. But to get to that point, you usually have to tank. But also in this piece, there’s no indication. Barry Jackson was told, “We’re not trading Bam. We have we’re not trading Tyler. We have no motivation to trade either of those guys.” So, as long as those guys are on the roster, you’re not going to be that bad. And as long as Eric Scholster is the coach of this roster, you’re not going to be that bad. Maybe you get lucky the way that teams like Atlanta or Dallas got lucky in the past and go from 10th or 11th in the in the lottery and shoot up all the way to the number one overall pick, I guess. But getting lucky in the lottery as a middling planish team, that’s not exactly a plan either. So, I’m okay with the idea of trying to figure out what these guys are and who they are and giving them more minutes. Like that does make sense to me with the roster is currently constructed.
Yeah. But it’s when you dig into the the actual plan, what it just it feels like this is a team or if this is the plan, it feels like it’s a plan for a team that’s going to be stuck in the playing tournament for a long

Youth is longevity..it's up to spo how he mix n match each players strength and weaknesses..Bam is not a sprinter but he can fill the gap..When playing small that's not our definition of it..We need Biggs at all positions and we need speed.Plus guys who can play multiple positions when needed.
They were a playin team due to a variety of factors, Spoelstra being on of them. OKC got Jalen Williams and SGA directly because of the stupidity of the Clippers. Dort was undrafted.
Pacers didn't tank either
Ware will be better. Jaime will be better. Jovic will be better. Davion Mitchell will have a full training camp. And we just got a lottery pick for a point guard. = Miami will make the playoffs and not the playing tournament next year.
NO TANKING NEVER PERIOD
