We need breh on this roster.

Sign the damn contract

yep, a cold blooded scorer/shooter

 

[Brief Keef]

A little trigger happy but I like his game ala Spreewell
He's got range which is something we needed. Ennis might be gone

he'll take all the shots that nikkas was scared to shoot when they were open last season and i dont mind one damn bit this nikka can go off at any second and runs the floor ASAP

 

[Alexander The Great]

yep, a cold blooded scorer/shooter

he's a 40% shooter. he can get ona streak here and there, but he can also be cold as fukk and not in the good way

Who was afraid to shoot last year?
Sometimes it seems you guys imagine sh!t Name names, B. Sure aint Wade. Chalmers either because ehe thinks he's better than Wade. Walker looked like Antoine Walker chucking sh!t up. Napier was struggling but still wasn't trigger shy. Ennis was just lost on offense.

So yeah.. name me who was afraid to shoot last year.

 

[WaddupDoe!]

Gerald Green is our own JR Smith but minus the headache.

 

[Darealtwo1]

STFU you simpleton. Riley, along with Wade, has created a different culture since they've been there, which reaches far beyond something as simple as location. As someone who's a fan of a team with a struggle front office, I appreciate the resilience of the Heat having arguably the best off-season of a NBA team not named the Spurs after being in limbo during this exact same time last year.

pat riley could not have made these moves in minnesota

dragic put out team names where he wanted to go before he got traded he named miami, LA and Knicks

You really think if wade got drafted to minni land he would have stayed? you trippin b

KG left
Love left

AINT NOBODY STAYING IN MINNI LAND

You really think Bosh would have resigned in minnesota instead of taking a max from H Town

You really think GG would sign in Minni Land

You really think whiteside would want to stay in Minni Land


Lets not fool each other on the coli

Every one that plays the game knows that some teams can build through free agency due to their location while others have to build through the draft.

You had nikkas boycotting workouts in minnesota just because they didn't want to get drafted their. Reports were coming out that Okafor didn't want to play there and WOULD NOT workout for them

And What did Zach Lavine say to himself when he got drafted to minni land last year



Put his fukking head down in disbelief and said fukk me....shyt was trending that entire draft

 

[HiphopRelated]

This is the game I remember when I think of dude

How the hell did we go from comparing MIA to Cleveland to talking about Minnesota? I know how because it simply doesn't fit the narrative of your trash ass pigeon hole of an argument that people only want to play for Miami because of its location - you know Cleveland is the ultimate shyt hole and that haven't stop them from attracting players since LeBron has gotten there? Why? Because of the culture of winning that he brings, and all of the caveats that comes with winning. I'm sure Dragic took a $18 million pay cut simply because of the beaches in Miami .

Wade is from my city that has some of the coldest winters in America, and he's been a loyal ass nikka to the Heat, so I don't think it's far fetched at all that Wade would've stayed with whatever team drafted him. KG left? He had to literally be forced out and coerced by Doc, Paul, and Ray in order to leave to Minnesota. Love always had an axe to grind with Minny after not getting the contract that he desired when it was time to re up with them, so it was a given that he was going to leave.

Again, your dumb ass purposely being selective by singling out Minnesota who has long withstanding culture of mediocre. I'm sure reports on Aldridge was lying that he didn't want to hear more about basketball from the Lakers who's location speaks for itself . The Lakers have been historically a hotbed for talent and now all of a sudden they can't attract free agents IN SPITE of its location. Why? Because they're fukkin losing right now.


The rest of the absolute garbage that you typed up, I'm not even going to bother to quote because you're trying reduce exactly what it is that the Heat have been able to accomplish this off-season hence why you're trying to purposely centralize the argument.

I'm not going to derail the #Heatwave brehs thread by further dealing with your stupid shyt in here. Hold this neg , and cherish this time I spent addressing you in here .

@Malta , can you give me an honest breakdown about what you think of Whiteside? His offensive game, defensive game, and overall impact?

Things that I noticed when I watched him

-He doesn't seem to be a willing passer. He looks to score when he touches the ball.

-Soft touch around the rim for someone who likes to dunk as much as he does. Wide shoulders, long arms, and good ability to power through contact.

-A tad too jump happy, especially around bigs with a decent jumper.

-Good helpside instincts.

What do you think? How does he compare to the current crop of bigs like Vucci, Cousins, Gobert, Davis, etc,

He's not a willing passer mainly because he's still playing to prove himself and for a contract, dudes like that tend to be selfish at times, and for all intents and purposes he was basically a rookie last year (111 minutes played in his 2 seasons with the Kings).


I think he's going to be a top 5 center next year, closer to the top 3 and has a realistic shot of being the best two way big man in the league. His defensive impact is elite, and offensively he has a surprising amount of moves, jumper and a hook shot with both hands. If he wants to be the best center in the NBA he could be, physically only Gobert, Tavares and Embiid are in his class as far as length & height, and he obviously gets the edge over Joel for athleticism right now, since Big Joel can't play


I like him a lot, Heat fans were mad I didn't have him in the top centers under 25, but that's only cause he was older

same thing I said. part of the reason he didn't pass it was 1. he's a greedy scorer and for far too long we didn't run any plays for him, so when he got his hands on the ball...he was gonna shoot. and he was right. I expect him to be much better in that area, because he'll be a bigger part of the offensive scheme.

You're negative 1,100 in the hole (well negative 1,110 now) I'm sure I'll be missing out on insightful posts like the Heat getting free agents primarily by being in Miami and nothing more .
