BREAKING: The Washington Wizards are trading three-time All-Star Bradley Beal to the Phoenix Suns for Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, second-rounders

I know we all put the spotlight on Pat Riley when it comes to the Heat but sometimes I wonder if the lack of urgency and assertiveness to sign or trade for stars and better role players is because of Pat or Micky Arison not wanting to spend money like he did during the LeBron era, remember Pat ain't the one paying these players with money out of his pocket.

I feel like nobody talks about Arison and his role in how the Heat has constructed their roster over the past 3-4 years.

He might be the reason why Miami has gotten so cheap and rather deal with undrafted players, because they cost less, and seeing how the team has been quite successful in making 2 NBA Finals and 3 ECFs, all within 5 years, that alone might make him complacent when it comes to building a roster.

The new owner is placing asses in seats over winning.

Breh we just had the following CHAT GPT ass nikkas make an impact:

Rui Hachimura
Christian Braun
Caleb Martin
Gabe Vincent
Malik Monk
Terrance Davis
Norman Powell
Bruce Brown

I’m pretty sure an Ayton trade can bring in some AI generated nikkas from the Spurs or some shyt to be solid role players

Most of those players aren't random players

What problem of the Heat’s does Draymond fix? I’m not saying Draymond’s a scrub or anything but the Heat were already 27th in 3point percentage last year, that kinda mutes Draymond’s space and effectiveness

there's literally no reason to trade for draymond when they have Bam.

Three injury prone nikkas and a softie at center

4 Mr. Softee ass nikkas

Welcome to NBA basketball …that’s how championship teams work ..your stats do star shyt and your bench supplements them ..and you’re in a bad space if you’re depending on rookie second round picks you bought to contribute in the payoffs

They were already in that spot regardless of this trade.

Unless we about to gas Landry Shamet and if that’s the case imma tap out this thread

Arison has no interest in being a repeat tax offender.

"Trade Ayton for depth"
So trade your starting C who can put up 18/8 for depth and then who starts at C? Jock Landale?
And I don't like Ayton AT ALL but Beal really does not move the needle
Not only is he redundant with Booker but he's hurt all the fukking time now. So you got 2 super injury prone guys in KD & Beal, these guys are gonna be like that KD/Kyrie/Harden team that played like 15 games together

Which is by they lost… hence the Luke warm reception that some have towards this deal that makes them even more financially strapped

there's literally no reason to trade for draymond when they have Bam.

Unless Bam and Herro are going in a Lillard deal? I dunno.

 

[JordanwiththeWiz]

Timberwolves better hurry up and trade KAT while they still operating under the old CBA. Hell it’s now or never with dudes like Dame, Kyrie, Harden, Poole and Draymond. That’s why I understand why the Wiz did what they had to do now before the July 1st. It ain’t gonna be no games once them apron rules kick in.

 

[ALonelyDad]

And other peoples point is that just like before this deal they will still be losers if they don’t create depth

It’s not a moot point as their salary increases this year and next year and the constraints that Beals deal forces them into are even more prohibitive now as well as moving forward….especially once that second apron rule kicks in

It's a fair overall point but I have just been seeing people bring it up in reaction to this trade and I don't think it changes their situation much than before other than getting a much better player. The CBA stuff is a different topic I am sure the owner is up to date on future ramifications but he is comfortable going for it now than dealing with it later on.
