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

[Primetime21]

Expect sharp-shooting sixth man Lou Williams to reach out to the Heat, among select other teams, when NBA free agency starts on July 1.

Williams (who ranked 15th in the league this season with 152 three-pointers) might be affordable only if two among Goran Dragic, Dwyane Wade or Luol Deng leaves. Otherwise, the Heat would have only exception money ($5.5 million or $3.4 million, depending on whether it incurs a luxury tax).

### As associate of veteran power forward Carlos Boozer said Boozer wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up with the Heat next season (almost assuredly at the minimum).

Boozer, who spends a lot of time in Miami, can still play as a backup (11.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 49.9 percent from the field for the Lakers), but signing him makes sense only if Josh McRoberts or (less likely)Udonis Haslem is dealt.

I want Daymond Green in a Heat uni.

That ain't happening GS will match anything thrown at him

The Heat, which has the 10th and 40th picks, announced it’s holding a draft party on June 25, with gates opening at 6 p.m. (an hour before the draft) and Erik Spoelstra, Hassan Whiteside and Alonzo Mourning scheduled to appear.

The event is free, but a ticket is required to attend the event. Each person may select up to four tickets, which must be reserved on line at heat.com. A credit card is required to reserve seats, but the credit card will not be charged. Fans must print their tickets prior to arriving at the AmericanAirlines Arena. The Heat's ticket office will not reprint tickets. Tickets on mobile devices will not be accepted for entry. The first 2500 fans will get draft T-shirts.

Boozer is terrible. Signing him would be worse than Granger

Let's be reality, he's a better player at this juncture than Haslem

Let's also be realitier, you aren't winning anything with Boozer on your team.

We're not talking about a starter just someone who you can throw out for 8-10 mins if needed and look like some semblance of a legitimate baller. Ya'll get caught up thinking everybody on the bench got to be a star. UD my dawg but how many freaking layups we watch Haslem miss last year?

You want to watch miss layups or the other team make layups because Boozer sucks? I'm not caught up on anything. I just know Boozer is terrible.

Alright man you know what you got it. Im not about to argue about a fringe rotation player that may not even be here next year

 

[Captain Crunch]

We don't need Boozer, we already have Bird and McBob for backup bigs, if you're shaky on Bird get Dakari or Upshaw in the 2nd round.

My ideal rotation for next year

Dragic
Wade
Deng
Bosh
Whiteside

Bench:
Bazz; Ennis, Stanley, McBob, Bird

I know it's no shooters, but Ennis and Stanley(mainly Stan) can be future starters for us. We're about to be capped out soon, so it's important we develop our young players into good role players/starters.

Riley must do what he has to do to resign Wade.

I understand giving Wade a big payday may mean losing WhiteSide to limitations of the Heat not having "Byrd rights" to WhiteSide. Because of that they can only give him 106% of what he's making now which would be about $6M next year.

We're doomed to pay the price for trading all those draft picks away but lets not lose our identity trying to make up for past transactions

apparently Wade's son posted a snapchat with them in the car messing around to Rihanna's "bytch Better have my money" and titled it "dedicated to the heat"

I take it that you can't possibly use Mario Chalmers for a trade for a big?
