Future Heat bench gunner Demar Derozan played pretty well tonight

Justice ain’t ever gonna come back

Trade and not re-sign

He's not tradeworthy either ..

DeRozan is 2-5 million 1 year contract off the bench status, he's clearly not that good.

Justice ain’t ever gonna come back

Not during the regular season he ain’t

I've always liked DeRozans game. He's what Wiggins should have been.
But I don't want him with that contract
Edit: Oh wait... Hid contract expires after next year. That's not a bad deal. If give them Dion and Rustise for DeRozan

I know Pat just wanted to turn around and back hand that hoe

 

[Sauce Dab]

We're still playing Jimmy and Bam way too many minutes. Now that we're officially half-way through the season I'd like to see their minutes come down to about 30 mpg each. Especially since we can get good production from JJ. Hope Dion starts getting some burn too but seems like he might be out based on that tweet he posted recently.

Dion ain’t playing, why can’t y’all understand this. Herro was out last night and he still didn’t play

I know Spo is being petty and also tryingto avoid him getting injured which would make the contract even more untreatable but im just concerned with Jimmy's minutes. He's 30 and has a lot of wear on his body since he played for Thibs

 

[F K]

we basically have 4 dead roster spots (ud, justise, dion, silva) a bunch of rookies playing and we are still doing well. I'm not sure how long it will last but

I heard that one earlier this morning. He's right. Nunn it's not as tunnel visioned as he was early in the season.

I also like the part he talked about potential Winslow deal. If you combined what they said and what the other guy who does the Locked on Heat podcast there may be something to it. Even tho Winslow does not strike me as the type to be mad at the FO for shopping him and sitting out on purpose. But you never know. I just don't see it. He's an overall good kid

Speaking of Bustise

Heat's Justise Winslow to Be Reevaluated in 2 Weeks After Suffering Back Injury
MEGAN ARMSTRONGJANUARY 17, 2020


The Miami Heat announced on Friday that Justise Winslow will miss at least the next two weeks before his back injury is reevaluated.

Winslow returned to play 16 minutes against the Indiana Pacers last week after missing just over a month with a lower back bone bruise, but he has missed each of Miami's past three games since then.

The small forward has appeared in just 11 games this season. The 23-year-old was placed in the league's concussion protocol on Nov. 7, and he has missed additional games since then with the back injury.

In those 11 games, Winslow is averaging 11.3 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game, making him one of the Heat's most versatile players when healthy.


The Heat selected Winslow 10th overall in the 2015 draft, but he has been nagged by injuries since entering the league.

The Duke product appeared in just 18 games during the 2016-17 season as he dealt with the combination of a wrist injury and a torn labrum that required season-ending surgery. He was hampered by knee injuries throughout the 2017-18 and 2018-19 campaigns but was able to play in 68 and 66 games, respectively.

Winslow's continued absence will likely mean more minutes for Duncan Robinson, who has already started 35 games in place of Winslow this season. The 25-year-old forward has performed well in a supporting role with 11.8 points and 3.3 rebounds per game.

Miami, second in the Eastern Conference, has one of the deepest teams in the NBA with seven players averaging double digits in scoring, so head coach Erik Spoelstra will have no shortage of options to turn to.

The 28-12 Heat play at the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday.
