Miami Heat 2015 Offseason thread: Reload, Retool, and most importantly, Recover

[Primetime21]

And since the Heat plan on keeping Wade and Dragic together, they have no choice but to reinvent an offense that doesn't yet allow both to shine bright enough.

I dont have faith in this coaching staff (as constructed) to do this. I dont think they can maximize the talents of Wade/Dragic combo along with the front court of Bosh/Whiteside. We'll see if I'm wrong. Assuming LeBron doesnt put the call in to Silver to take away our lottery pick, and we come away with one good FA acquisition we should have a contending team next year, I dont want to see any mediocre ass basketball again.

Cant tell if its just the black or not but fukkin Wade lookin slimmer than he did all season but come opening night he'll be back to 225

Dwyane Wade is focused on making himself better for next season. That's why a week ago, he pledged to start the 30 day transformation challenge with trainer Luther Freeman.

Although Wade isn't in the category of an individual who needs a complete body transformation as some that Luther helps, Wade is looking to strengthen his body and give it a new tighter feel. This isn't the first time that Wade is taking outside means or challenges to put his body to the limit. In past offseasons he has worked several different ways to get his body into shape.

Freeman has been known as the celebrity trainer. Former NBA players who have fallen out of shape have turned to Luther for help to get their bodies back. And Wade isn't the only current NBA player to have Freeman give a 30 day challenge to change. Caron Butler, Wade's former Miami Heat teammate, was the one who challenged Wade to get involved.

Wade said that "Team Wade" will be joining him, which likely means his wife, Gabrielle.

We will have to wait and see Wade's before and after pictures, but one thing is certain: Wade isn't wasting any time beginning the process of getting ready for next year.

After that call out by pat wade decided to do a 30 day challenge and get himself in better shape hopefully dude keeps this up for the whole offseason and is ready for training camp

that kind of talent in the front and back court demands a san antonio type of offensive system.
lots of ball movement, extra passes, off ball movement.

Besides Oubre and Hezonja, what other players do the Heat have shown interest in?

that's all I've seen. I think they are supposed to talk with Stanley Johnson tomorrow. per twitter, Frank Kaminsky said he sees himself as a Bosh like player and wouldn't mind learning from him

Kelly Oubre is a project


Good physical tools but dude is VERY raw

Learning from a great like D-Wade and a guy like Luol would be ideal for him.

If Hezonja is gone (likely) I would take Johnson and buy/trade for a late pick for Upshaw...I really want another young big with Bird on his last legs, but don't want to spend the 10th on Myles Turner or Kaminsky.

I want a situation where our entire defense at no point has to be collapsing into the paint

you think he'll be gone before the 2nd rd?
and don't forget, we had Birch in D League. while he was with the main team he showed to be a good rebounder and shot blocker. He's offense was awful tho

You need to accept the fact that you'll never get a 60 game season out of wade

Nothing wrong with having a young big.
Plus I think he's 7' with decent length and athletism I believe.
