we are use to excellence from the heat its hard to take this
grizz gonna get rid of ja wouldnt mind him down here
jimmys a good player not great player but is such a smart player makes the right plays all the time
Definitely still a solid player, no doubt.
jimmy wanted out he quit on us dont blame him he wants jewelry
In the same sentence, you say don’t blame him and he quit on us. Sorry that does not work for me. He quit on us. I’m not against him wanting to win, but he quit on us!
he wanted to get traded went about it by not trying its not right but the end result he got what he wanted
Correct
Although he wanted Phoenix
pat didnt want beale.kd book jim would have been excellent
Nobody wanted that Beal contract.
contract aside beals better than wiggins
Can’t put the contract aside, that was the whole issue. Didn’t matter if he still could play – not one team was willing to take on him and his $50+ million contract for 3 more years.
i think gsw can win it all
jimmys at msg tonight
20 more games of dunc halleluyah.what a loser he is no impact on winning zero
Duncan is not the future.
Rozier is not the future.
Anderson is not the future.
Love is not the future.
Others may fall into that category as well.
Play the young guys!
exactly
Let’s go heat!
enjoy listening to e reid
yes this is as bad a team in long time
just getting in terrys in mistake
Pretty confident we’re watching one of the worst Miami Heat teams since pre Zo.
Got the Wade injury season. Got the year before they drafted Wade.
Other than that – this has to be it. And with no cap room, one can only hope they nail these first round draft picks, otherwise, it’ll be more the same next year.
Yes, I’ve had flashbacks of that 15-67 season. However, they will have some flexibility with expiring contracts and only partially guaranteed Duncan deal. Let’s hope. A core of Wiggins, Bam, Herro, and Ware is pretty good, but you additionally need a real A+ player.
what a plus player nobody ss coming here rc.we could be stuck in mediocrity for a while
I will wait and see
gonna have to part with bam to get a ss unless a fa wants to come here or they draft another dwade
I will wait and see
