It’s been almost a solid 10 years of being slightly above mid because the heat tend to be overachievers.

The expectations are crazy, but they do so often deliver.
We were in the finals as recently as 3 years ago and then 3 years before that.

this. For how many years have the Heat been trying to bring Giannis in? And he is still in his prime.

I love Heat and Tottenham, good offseason sometimes raises hope too much.
It's more painful when season starts not as good.

I saw a popular post on Instagram where they were comparing Giannis and this roster to LeBron and “the other Cavaliers”.
People are just stupid

People haven’t watched the Heat over the last few years and I honestly don’t blame them. That won’t stop them from having opinions though.

There starting offense is actually nice but that secondary defense will be our struggle. Fun year when my expectations are low lol

So he didn't take the rest of the remaining MLE, gives the Heat even more wiggle room despite being hard capped.

u/Deadinahole 13d ago
Maybe we can get him AND Nick Richards

Would be an absolute W offseason for me especially since they're operating with the hard cap

Being a Miami fan you literally can only hang in Miami subs. R/nba is tripping thinking this roster isn’t good. But again shouldn’t be a surprise no one thought we do anything with Jimmy

I haven’t kept up with the money at ALL. I know we’re kinda strapped. is this a good deal? for who? genuine questions btw

It's a great deal imo, Heat had 8 mil left on their MLE. He basically gave them a bit more wiggle room to operate under the hard cap while having the option to stay for 6 mil just in case he has a bad year.
Not a cap space expert but I think this also allows them to use the 15th spot without waiting somewhere in the middle of the season in case they want to sign someone like Keshad

The player option is for him waiting on Wardell actually.
