    I think bam can run an offense. As a heat fan that lives in Sacramento I just want to point out the similarities in the way bam and Chris Webber play on the offensive side of the ball and even with mike bibby there those years the offense still ran through Chris. Now the kings found success again and all they needed was a facilitating big in Sabonas. I say give bam him his shot!!!

    I’m just so happy to watch a younger, taller, more athletic team this year. No double small Gabe & Kyle line-ups, or triple small line-ups with Kyle, Gabe, & Oladipo. I’m excited to watch JRich instead of Oladipo & the potential of Jovic, Jaquez, and Orlando and even Highsmith. This will also be Tyler’s second year as a starter & I hope they spam the pick-n-roll.

    I will disagree with missing out on Dame being a screw up. As soon as Dame said he only wanted to come to Miami. IT WAS OVER. Joe cornin wasn't going to trade Dame to Miami no matter what Miami offered or even if Pat Riley kissed his ass like a lot of heat fans wanted Cornin still wasn't going to trade Dame to Miami. So being angry with Miami based on the actions of a petty GM who wanted to make an example out of Dame on behalf of NBA owners is insane. You can't negotiate with someone who has no intentions on dealing with you.

    Listen all this doom n gloom from Wes Goldberg is borderline DEPRESSING Shout out David for upside mind of thinking Did the East get better yes but The Miami Heat are the BEST IN THE NBA at finding DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH n MAXIMIZING THE TALENT TO THE FULLEST No one knew who Gabe, Vincent and Max Strus were a few years ago and those two guys were able to get nice contracts from other teams. Miami developed those two players and they were key contributors to Miami’s run in the playoffs last season and I may be on the island alone on this, but I think Tyler hero can take another leap. I think Tyler Herro has all star potential. I also believe Jaime Jaquez will be a key contributor within the first month of the season Nikola Jokic can take a step forward They are deep at the center spot n the power forward spot They still need a backup pg which I have no doubt they will find a backup point guard couple that with the fact this team since Dwayne wades rookie season, has only missed the playoffs five times in 20 years and has never been consecutive playoff misses This team will be in the mix They don’t rebuild they re-tool and I forgot to even mention Josh Richardson they will get the most out of him as well. This team will be fine.

    I always say there is a reason why fans and journalists aren't NBA players or Coaches. Our perspective aren't theirs. We look at like everything from an over simplified point of view. The more superstars the better the chances of winning a Championship which isn't a high basketball IQ perspective and more often than not isn't the case. You see what happened with Durant and Kyrie.
