No we don’t. Miami has literally never been relevant for free agents in my life aside from Bron and Bosh because of Wade. Jimmy would’ve stayed in Philly if they chose him over Tobias. He wasn’t dying to come to Miami. Heat Culture is Wade, Spo and then Jimmy.

Absent those guts, no one is dying to come play in Miami who isn’t there just to have fun. They’re not the Lakers or even Clippers now.
Besides the Lakers which team has been highly relevant for FA stars over 4+ decades? :jbhmm:

I’ve seen people say nobody would come to Miami if they were trash and nobody played there, like they would to other teams :mjgrin:

You are the one being dense if you think Dame Lillard only wanted to come to Miami to play with Jimmy Butler.

Kyrie
Kd
Spida
Kawhi
Harden
Etc

What do all of these players have in common? When they’ve asked for a trade, Miami is always on the short list.

Kawhi and Kyrie had Miami on their list before Jimmy and after Lebron

:dead:YOU DONT GET THAT MIA
IS THE TEAM THAT EVERYONE USES
IN TRADE NEGOTIATIONS?

ALL THOSE NAMES AND
NOT ONE EVER CAME OVER

The myth of Pat Riley isn't what drives Miami. It's Spo's coaching.
This is hilariously untrue.

But it’s par for the course that is Gil’s contrarianism.

Pat created that ethos; the Heat culture is basically who Pat is as a person. This is going all the way back to the 70s when Bill Sharman told Pat that the only way he was going to exist on that Lakers squad was to be the best conditioned player. He’s basically lived by that set of beliefs ever since.

All the infamous conditioning tests, body fat standards and the stringent training methods are all the psyche of Pat.

When he first arrived in Miami, he had had long fine-tuned his ability as a head coach, whilst Spo was only a video coordinator.

It's patently ridiculous for anyone to say otherwise, especially since Pat saved Spo from the wrath of Bron, where he could've easily been let go and would've been lucky to get another head coaching role elsewhere, and nobody would be speaking about Spo like they do now (to which he's become overrated).

I have a few things to say about this so bare with me.

1. Who's decision is it that Jimmy isn't starting? I'm thinking it's coming from Pat and that's not his lane. Let Spo make that call.
2. Jimmy needs to realize that throwing tantrums and acting up to get traded doesn't help. Harden tried this and hasn't seen $200 million sense. Had to settle for 2 years 70.

Pat Riley was even willing to let Wade walk in free agency. So that should tell JImmy everything. Too many players think a franchise owes them for what they did in the past. It's all about what can you do for me now

Spida literally said he thought the Heat trade was done

Miami got outbid by Phoenix for KD

Pat said no to Harden and Kyrie for different reasons

Miami didn’t have the assets for Kawhi


You can post all of the fake laughing emojis and likes you want breh. You’re just making yourself look foolish when real facts are presented to you.

Everything im saying can be googled

Spo is Riley’s bytch. And I don’t even mean that to be disrespectful to Spo. Its clear as day that Pat Riley is the top dog in Miami and that what HE says goes. Spo ain’t in no way, shape, form or fashion bucking against the hierarchy. Lebron, Wade and now Butler are basically telling Riley “F U C K you” on their way out of the door only Butler isn’t doing it “professionally” the way Bron and Wade did.

You might’ve forgot that Wade came back for two years to end his career, and LeBron fulfilled his duties under his contract to the very last day. Don’t compare them to Jimmy

1. He did come back, he could’ve thrown a tantrum like many nba players do and gone somewhere else

2. He was not happy on the bench on the cavs and was obviously too expensive for a bench role. And I’m sure it was Ty not LeBron that benched him

3. You wouldn’t replied to this comment if it didn’t mention Jimmy, now you just had to write something :beli:
