Not enough talk about Ime folding under pressure
  • Folded in 6 games after being up 2-1 to the Warriors in '21 as Kerr put pressure on Tatum and Brown and exploited weak ball handling and lack of playmaking​
  • Game 5: '21 finals let Kerr punk him into abandoning his drop defense, instead choosing to blitz Steph on possessions which helped facilitate 4v3 when other Warriors got aggressive​
  • '24 late season collapse with a 5 game losing streak ( DAL, MIN, GSW, MIA, DAL ) that derailed their playoff chances before they ended 41-41​
  • '25 Reg season, no reliable go to scorers, but dependable/predictable scoring in Vanvleet, Green, Sengun, Amen: But no playmaking to help facilitate bad/slow offensive nights Ime has not been able to scheme for anyone to lead with 6-7+ assists and raise the offensive ceiling​
  • Let Kerr punk him into subbing Adams out tonight, even though he was terrorizing on defense, heavily influencing Houston dominance on the boards as well as securing offensive boards​
 
Realistically how do you build the next great Heat Team?

Where do you start? I think yall could still get a lot in return for Bam
Let’s start with a young defensive PG, some expiring money, some picks, and a decent young rotation player who won’t ever command big money

Then move Tyler

Castle
Ware
Larsson
Jovic
Picks

And just go from there I guess

I don’t give a shit lol
 
How much of impact do yall think Giannis trade request would have on KDs market?
Well I don’t think KD has a strong trade market as it is

If anything the Heat getting their doors blown off hurts his trade market a bit as well as that’s maybe one less suitor and more competition if bam and Tyler become available

As far as giannis I think it would hurt KD too because KD would be an afterthought
