The Trophies Remain, The King Never L3ft #HeatLifer: Miami Heat 2014-15 Season Thread

[Captain Crunch]

Don't fukk up that 2016 cap space Pat
I know it's slim to no chance that KD comes here, but having cap room>>>winning 3 extra games in April with Monroe/Bledsoe

 

[954UAlreadyknow]

Riley trades picks like nothing the one thing I always hated about him

yea thats what killed us.....

As far Monroe really dont play D so I dont he wouldnt help much

still would be one and done in the postseason

To make a trade for Greg Monroe, Heat would need to send back at least $3.6M in salary (in addition to draft considerations, etc). (10/10)

Albert Random @AlbertRandom1 · 5h5 hours ago
Would Monroe accept trade if he doesn’t think Heat can sign him long-term? What would Heat give up for player can sign as UFA in Jul? (9/10)


Albert Random @AlbertRandom1 · 5h5 hours ago
Technically, it would be against rules for Heat to discuss future deal w/ Monroe as part of trade (but such things probably happen). (8/10)


Albert Random @AlbertRandom1 · 5h5 hours ago
Heat has $70M in commitments (including POs). He’ll be gunning for max of nearly $16M. Cap estimated at $67M. Can you make #s work? (7/10)


Albert Random @AlbertRandom1 · 5h5 hours ago
That’s surely not enough. Heat could give more if use cap room, but unclear if can clear enough to meet his long-term demands. (6/10)


Albert Random @AlbertRandom1 · 5h5 hours ago
Heat could use his Non-Bird rights to pay him 120% of his previous salary next year, or $6.6M. Adds up to $28M over 4 years. (5/10)


Albert Random @AlbertRandom1 · 5h5 hours ago
If such player is traded during season (with his approval), the incoming team receives only Non-Bird rights at the end of the season. (4/10)


Albert Random @AlbertRandom1 · 5h5 hours ago
Heat would therefore not only need to strike an acceptable deal with Pistons, but Monroe would need to want to come to Miami. (3/10)


Albert Random @AlbertRandom1 · 5h5 hours ago
Players on one-year deals with Bird or Early Bird Rights at end of them can veto any trade – this applies to Monroe. (2/10)


Albert Random @AlbertRandom1 · 5h5 hours ago
Lots of intersecting rules and complications as relates to a potential Heat trade for Greg Monroe. (1/10)

So its doubtful as fukk that we end up with Monroe.

I dont know. I think the days of turning into a championship contender via free agency is over for this franchise. Maybe your best best is trading for a Monroe and then drafting/signing guys to build around the core. Should be following the Memphis/Indiana model, teams that weren't perennial lottery contenders but turned into solid teams

 

[intruder]

Im not with this save cap room for the future things unless we have multiple top tier players becoming FAs. Doubt we have any shot t Kevin Durant. THen again i thought we had 0% chance of landing LeBron.

Anyway, im not with this plan for 2016 thing. Noone really intrigues me in that class. Not even Durant who will be 28 by then with significant wear and tear. Unless of course we can get him with someone else. Riley needs to get a youth movement going somehow. Wade and Bosh can hold down the fort for a while but i doubt theylike the fact thet we're virtually wasting 2 years of their careers in hopes to land their replacements

Our pick is top 10 protected this year in a good draft.
Not saying we draft a young Jordan, but Mudiay; Okafor, and Towns have legit potential to be AS. Not too mention you got guys like Oubre; Winslow, Hezonja, and Stanley Johnson who many think can be AS as well.

Sure getting a top 3 pick will be tough, but it's not unrealistic if the Heat draft 5-10 and have a chance at Oubre; Winslow, Stanley Johnson, or Hezonja.

too late for a top 10 pick.

 

[WaddupDoe!]

If we can land Winslow.

 

[Captain Crunch]

too late for a top 10 pick.

McRob is out for the year,Bosh will likely miss several weeks, and we still have 4 months of the season left.

If the Heat go on another 3-7 stretch like they just did, we'll probably be 1GB of the 8th seed.
The '14 Cavs and '08 Bulls both picked #1 despite having the 9th worst record.
Never say never #TankBoys let's get it

Riley aint apart of that good old boys network that got the Bulls and Cavs those #1 picks

That was only because the league had a story line to push; we won't be that lucky. They don't really give a fukk about Miami. That #1 pick in 08 belonged to us. We still giving up draft rights for a trade that happened four years ago. We ain't never had an All-Star game.

 

[madness]

the league owes us...we shouldve had the 1st pick in the 08 draft...and they rewarded cleveland with the #1 pick 3 times after that one guy left, they better reward us with at least one

those rich cacs down here would never agree to move their precious annual boat show that takes place during all-star weekend...especially not for an NBA event

Brehs, I'm willing to sign a few 10 days if it'll help us tank

Eric talking about hoping for a Heat win.
