Real talk who making the all star team? Dragon? Can't snub us if we top 3/4 in the conference
I had said the samething not too long ago. Waiters absence made a big difference in our offense. He isn't around to shoot up bricks. It helps that Winslow isn't around either because Spo can't used him as an undersized PF, which was hurting us in the beginning of the season.The Heat ain't healthy. I think it has more to do with Waiters not being healthy as the reason for us winning
A good read about us: Lowe: Can Miami get red-hot again without making a big move?
Multiple rival executives labeled Winslow as Miami's version of Jahlil Okafor.
Whiteside's post game has atrophied. He has hit just 41.8 percent of post-up attempts, per Synergy, 43rd among 52 players who have attempted at least 50 such shots.
The looming 2019 tax may cost them Ellington now. He will be a free agent after this season, and if he keeps shooting like this, someone will offer him the full midlevel exception -- or something close. Miami can't pay that without rocketing into tax territory for a team that isn't good enough to justify it. If it faces losing Ellington for nothing, Miami has to at least consider dealing him, as much as that would hurt.
The Heat have him on a nonsurgical rehab program. Waiters recently sought a second opinion, and the situation has created some tension. (The two sides hope to have some clarity this week or next, per league sources.)
Gonna be sad when we lose Ellington in free agency. I dont see how we can afford to keep him
