So lets talk about Miami's winstreak.

Do you guys think it's good or bad for the organization? On one hand it's 12 games won, it's huge for the development of some of the younger players(even though a few have been hurt for most of it or not contributed heavily to it). On the other it took them from the 2nd worst record, which would have landed them a great pick and likely a great guard for years to come to nearly a playoff spot where they'll be washed fast and early anyways. That's if they even make it. In the end this random winstreak could set their team back years in rebuilding.

Miami has players I like, but I don't think they can cap themselves out resigning them all so it's not like this is a core. It's a core to have around a superstar(with Whiteside as a sidekick), but not a core that is a piece away or anything, it's a superstar away from making any real noise.

This win streak is horrible, and the reports about Miami being interested in Ibaka are making me nervous. Best course of action would be to trade Dragic; Waiters, Ellington, and James Johnson for the best offers you can get at the deadline. Then in the summer, consider if Phoenix; Minnesota, or NO is dumb enough to trade their 2017 pick plus a prospect for Whiteside.

The new CBA will make treadmill status even worse. The only way to get top tier talent going forward will be the draft or trades. Top players or near top players aren't gonna be leaving their teams. Guys aren't passing on $70 mil even for Miami. They are really screwing themselves in the long term.
