All of them. They are the heartbeat of this team.
Keep All ! Trade Herro and Bam .
Larsen, Ware, Jakucionis, prime Bam + a 3 pt shot. Everyone else not named Mitchell and Powell can be fodder for a deal, especially Herro.
We dreamed of Bam hitting 3's, now that he's doing it, we can't let him go without letting him cook first.
Only Ware… if the rest are so good and Spo is the best coach in the NBA, why is Miami a 6 seed in the weak East?
I've been beating the Kelel drum since draft day. However good I predicted he would be, at the end of 1 1/2 seasons he has exceeded my expectations. His great shooting has surprised me even more than great rebounding. Think of this, Ware is presently the 3rd best % 3pt shooter at 47%, 13th best overall (56%) and 81.4% at the line. Besides that (recently) I learned Ware is 5th in defensive efficiency when judged by advanced metrics. And we all see it by the eye test, the great rebounder now. 20 rbs in one game and 19 twice, wow. In less than 25 minutes Ware is the 6th best rebounder per game. #1 rebounder per min.
If spo and Riley were dumb enough to trade Ware, instantly he plays 32 minutes instead of 25. He is featured a ton more in the offense and flourishes. And what would stick in the craw of the of most Heat fans when they got up and out on the West coast Ware scored 32 points, took 22 rebounds and blocked 4 or 5 shots.
There are several teams where Ware would jump to a 18 to 20pt average and his rbs would go up 2. And the big deal would be the outstanding games he would put up when he shot the rock 20 plus times. He has 2 games of 15 shots and 2 of 4 this season. Elsewhere a 38pt, 22rb, 6bk game would not surprise me.
Ware will have to wait until next year in Miami for us to see the real Kelel, superman. He has 40pt 25rb games built in him. Bam hinders Ware and Norm hoggs the ball a ton. But last game the ball moved and everyone got their chance to score the rock. Not playing in last 13 min, ware scored 19 and took 9rbs. Best player on Heat by no latr than midseason next year.. Highest ceiling is an NBA all-star starter and multiple NBA titles (possibly MVP)))))
Love Pelle who has turned into a very good defender, plus a very good three-point shooter. Great glue guy and great attitude. But he shouldn't start instead of Ware. Keep Ware, JJJ and Pelle, trade anyone else except Norm; but please tell Powell to pass the rock to Kelel when he is open.
I say keep the kids you dont have 2 stars to pair with gianis to be a reel threat
If you're trading for Giannis the only young players I would like to keep is Ware and Jovic. Giannis is 30 years old so pair him with Bam, Norman, and Mitchell.
Why all this talk on stories,that are more than 25 years old,in my opinion the Heat got to aquire better talent to win a championship,everybody is on the table as far as acquiring draft capital and cap flexibility to bring in better talent,Go Heat.
All trade bam n tyler build with the young core yall wanna keep bam n tyler so bad the young guys not the problem
Ware..hands down lil wemby
None of them, trade Rozier, Wiggins, Herro, Fontecchio for right players
This is 2004 all over again. This team doesn't have a Dwayne Wade on it either. So freakin stupid. Giannis is on his last legs. Build a young team and keep it together. Stop screwing around and build a team through the draft.
