OFFICIAL 2016 @MiamiHEAT SEASON THREAD::::

moving forward, bosh's health is a mighty concern. theres been 0 updates on his condition or if hes been cleared. if we lose him, i dont even think there will be a player available who can replace him at the 4 and contribute half as much. heat are missing one thing, big men.
 
If no Bosh, throw everything for Ezili

with the season officially over, its time we look to the future. what moves do we make?

Gotta see what's good with Durant. If/when that doesn't happen, re-sign Whiteside and Wade. Save money for 2017. The FA class is much better. I'll say it again. You need a superstar or a great system. We have neither atm. I wouldn't break the bank on guys like Batum or Barnes just because the cap went up. Hopefully they move Mcbob and add some youth and shooting. Still not sold on Goran but that's another conversation. :lol:
 
I don't think resigning Whiteside will be as big a task as people make it seem. He's very rooted in Miami already. He made it clear he WANTS to stay, and he's already deep in the culture. I'm surprised he isn't managed by dj Khaled yet.

Are there ANY good 4s or 5s available this summer besides Durant?

On a separate note, come July 1st,the team should be back in town doing conditioning already .but i know that won't happen smh

I agree on Whiteside. From what I've seen on Snapchat, he's been down here almost the entire time since the season has ended. He celebrated his birthday in Miami and continues to wear heat stuff. I think it's clear that he wants to be here. I just think that if the heat are chasing Durant, they can't sign Hassan right away. The more they wait on Durant, the more time Hassan has to meet with other teams. If Durant gets taken out of the equation, I think Hassan will re-sign quickly.
 
Damn, I forgot the heat dont have ANY picks in the draft. Smfh. Why does everyone think Durant is up for grabs. He's never said he wanted to leave.
 
Just reflecting on the future and guys...

Justise Winslow and Josh Richardson are going to be really really good.

We need to make sure we resign Hassan because look at the youth movement:

Winslow: 20 yrs old
Richardson: 22 yrs old
Whiteside: 27 yrs old

IF Whiteside leaves, i'd prefer we look for a young big man.

there is no if. we MUST sign whiteside. whiteside being on the team will bring more talent to us in future. dude is the focal point moving forward. if we lose him, itll have negative ripple effects and will be very hard to recover from. like riley said, he is priority #1. the ONLY thing i hope is that riley can convince him to take a bit less than the max for the team's sake so we can go get some more pieces. cuz if we blow the bank just on keeping him and wade and deng then we'll pretty much repeat this year instead of improving. lets see where hassans head is at. cuz if I'm hassan, ill shave off 10 million if itll help us get another great player on the team. rings lead to more than 10 million in endorsements. and winning brings MY value up. being the star on a losing team doesn't give much opportunity lol. AND it boosts my public perception and team spirit to see i took the paycut for them

This guy Whiteside is letting all this fake new love get to his head.

As much as i want him on the team, let him walk! If he rather play for the Mavs or Lakers. He'll find it way less enjoyable playing for teams that have absolutely no chance of competing against the good teams out west.

Sign Durant and maybe somehow get a player like Jokim Noah and we're set. (God willing)!

Dragic
Wade
Durant
Bosh
Noah

Bench: Richardson, Deng and JJohnson (hopeful resigns), Tyler Johnson, and Michael Beasley (yeah i said it), and Haslem.

I'll take that all day over resigning Whiteside.

TektheMAESTRO, your thoughts?

KD's not even going to consider us sans Whiteside and Bosh... If we even had the numbers to which we could operate
 
The heat can't afford that because average players are getting big contracts now. I also don't think Durant would sign onto an old roster like that. He's expected to stay in OKC for a year.
 
Words from Wade's AP interview

http://bigstory.ap.org/article/4779...rview-wade-prepares-another-free-agent-summer
 Wade said he "100 percent" expects Bosh back.

"I have no doubt in my mind," Wade said. "I'm not a doctor. And even the people who are around, no one knows what Chris has gone through and how this is going to shake out. I hope that's back and doing it with me, doing it with UD, doing it with an organization that he won two championships in. I have no doubt in my mind that he's going to be back and he's going to be Chris Bosh."
But like anyone, I won't take them over the doctor's note.

disagree. whtieside is a generational talent who is still improving. heats problem has always been two things, big men and shooters. we've always been set on guards. durant is out of the question. hes not the answer we're looking for, just more big names thrown at a board to see what sticks. absolutely must sign whiteside. AND whiteside is radio silent essentially. espn is doing what espn does and create news stories. all whiteside has said was that he wants FA to be over quick and hopes its an easy decision. he hasn't even said hes going to have meetings with other teams yet to my knowledge.

all we're seeing is stories about how other teams are clamoring for him. what i think is telling is that jab he threw at them when he said he was hounding and begging just for a tryout on those teams before... now theyre begging him to sign. beasley probably wont come back under spo. dude has had 2 stints with us and got no burn in either one. all of that was spoelstra's call. and that DM that went everywhere with whiteside and some thot was proven fake. dont drink the media's koolaid. trust in the don.

the ONE thing that bothered me a bit tho, is seeing that wade isn't happy with what was offered him on the upcoming contract and is fielding offers from other teams. in my heart i feel its a ploy to force Riley's hand and pay him more, wade is a lifer and wants to stay in miami. but it suggests unhappiness with the contracts behind closed doors. thats something to look at.

"You know what we're about," Spoelstra told Whiteside. "This is our third time meeting with each other. Where you are right now, you are going to make the league this year. What do you really want? Do you want to just make the league or do you want to have an impact in this league? You know what our culture is all about. It may not be for you. This may not be what you want.

"This ain't what you want." -Spo

TRUST IN THE DON! Mafia family will give him an offer he can't refuse.
