It feels like we don’t even begin possessions inside the arc at any point. I’ve been hate-watching the team basically since 2014-15 began with how bad our offense always looks and manages to make everyone look mediocre. There’s no justification to employ Spo any longer and I agree fully that if Pat wants to stand by him, then he needs to go too. I’ve only watched one coach this postseason look as clueless as him.
@Primetime21 why you ain't tell me 65 million coming off the books in 2020?? Let me find out we get the last laugh

"Treadmill for two seasons and then we'll have some cap space to make moves! Jokes on you!"
Y'all are cute.
Its funny too because a lot of Heat fans are honestly front runners, they dont have the guts to stick around for a process type rebuild.
It could go bad and take forever sure, but the majority of the time that’s how you get your star. That or fleecing a team for their top pick, and that usually gets a complimentary player like how the Celtics and lakers got Kevin McHale & Robert Parrish and James worthy. Here’s a few guys who took the team that drafted them to the finals as it’s best player and won at least one of the 3 between finals MVP, a league MVP, or defensive player of the year award in their careers
- third overall pick
Hakeem - top overall pick
Wade - fifth overall pick
Duncan - top overall pick
- top overall pick (signed in Los Angeles as a free agent after his rookie deal)
KD - second overall pick
Curry - ninth overall pick
- top overall pick
Dwight - top overall pick
Dirk - ninth overall pick
- 13th overall pick
Magic - top overall pick
Kareem - top overall pick
Seeing a pattern here?
If you don't draft a superstar talent, you don't have the picks to TRADE for a superstar talent, or you don't have a superstar on your roster to ATTRACT superstar talent because stars wanna play with stars...how would you suggest getting it?
Y'all realize that that the flexibility that teams get with drafted picks (Dirt cheap contracts for 4 years, ability for an extension, rights for first refusal, ability to extend them over the cap) is fukking ENORMOUS especially relative to their cost?
In what world are you seeing where top ten draft picks aren't among the most valuable resources in the league? Why do Philly and Boston have the brightest futures in the league?
I bet OKC would rather have a top ten draft pick on a rookie contract than fukking Carmelo Anthony 27 million dollar contract next season even if the rookie was worse than Melo because Melo's contract actively DESTROYS OKC'S FINANCIAL FLEXIBILITY
It's funny cause if U check the scoreboard we been right about what's going to happen
Breh if we tank I'm down but I'm down with whatever we do. Cause I'm a fukking soldier
The point is that it’s much more frequently done by teams using their own top ten pick. You can’t count on trades that get you 3 first round picks or trading scrubs for a multi time mvp or the best center and top 5 player on the planet wanting to leave his team because they low balled him. Even when the heat did it through free agency, it was possible because their cornerstone player was already there. You think James and bosh would’ve signed if Wade wasn’t here? How’d we get Wade in the first place?So basically, you could do it either way
