McGruder being the hardest worker out of our insanely hard working Heat Squad

McGruder gonna come out and be an elite 3-D PG

Top 3 defense

 

[Primetime21]

He posted a video like last week training back home, he might have gained 10 lbs but it wasn't muscle

Thats what I had figured

Ah, tweets about player X gaining X pounds of muscle. The Offseason is definitely here.

Who needs top 10 picks when you making stars out of D-League talent

I'm excited hopefully we can make some noise this season. I hope people pay us some respect as a team that actually plays defense instead of just turning games into a 3 point shoot out

We could turn some of them top tens into legit superstars though

If we can develop D-Leaguers and journeyman, imagine what we could do with a cat like Giannis, KAT, Wiggins, Anthony Davis, Ben Simmons type

End up turning them into GOATS. You saw what we did for Lebron, he wasn't winning shot till we ironed out them holes

Utah Jazz, Hayward to have free agency meeting Monday

The All-Star forward will meet with the Utah Jazz on Monday, two days after the moratorium begins, multiple sources told The Tribune on Wednesday.

According to reports, Hayward will meet with the Miami Heat on Saturday. The free agency period begins at 10 p.m. MDT Friday.

Hayward has three teams on his wish list: the Jazz, Heat and Boston Celtics. League sources say Hayward wants to take his meetings, and make a decision in short order. The Heat and Celtics are expected to offer him a four-year max contract. The Jazz, as the incumbent team, are expected to offer Hayward a five-year max contract.

Dream off season: Sign JJ and Hayward. Let Waiters bounce.

Quick show of hands, who thinks we're on the short list of teams for the premier perimeter player of this year's free agency if we had tanked the season? This is why you compete and you allow the results to take you where they may, regardless of what happens

 

[Armchair Militant]

Probably could've gotten Butler if we tanked

Justise said Hayward is one of the hardest guys he's ever guarded. Having him mentor Justise and the defense with Hayward, Justise, JJ & Whiteside on the floor..... :tdnoah:

tanking wouldn't have stopped them from being in contention to get hayward. in fact if they had traded dragic when they had the 2nd worst record in the league, chances are they would have a better chance at signing hayward and trading for butler or george.

I'm looking at the teams Hayward is meeting with and what they have in common and I'm not following you here.

then you're being dense. Miami is a free agent destination period. one year of tanking wouldn't have hurt their image. the ability to pair 2 premier wing players would be attractive to hayward and george, hence whey george has been recruiting other players to different places.

miami with tons of cap space plus still having whiteside and riley would be enough to get free agent meetings. they get the, every year

This is all moot since we did the right thing and didn't tank

and this is why you don't give a max deal to blake griffin
