Should Miami Heat Be Buyers or Sellers at the NBA Trade Deadline? | Locked On Heat Podcast

38 comments

1. Both!

2. Id trade JJJ before Niko, Niko is younger, scouting reports out on Jaime, can’t shoot, game isn’t really a winning play style in the modern context. Let em have Jaime

3. Should’ve been selling last year…

4. I’ve been saying we need nikola vuc for awhile. Coulda used him against the nuggets a couple years ago.

5. I would trade jimmy and ride it out with Larrson Jamie and Jovic playing. Picks
   In the off season trade Terry
   They will top out as a 2nd round playoff loser
   The best asset they consider trading is Duncan

6. Losing players for nothing is ruining our organization. We’ll never have the talent of OKC or the Celtics. We’ll forever be praying Spo carries undrafted players vs a team of avengers

   Lost Wade for nothing, lost Lebron for nothing, and now we’re “fine” If we lose Jimmy for nothing. These are literally Fireable offenses that sets franchises back multiple seasons

7. Is there a way to get vuc and lonzo?

8. Bulls would want Jamie for that Vuc deal

9. Keep jovic , Larsson can take jjj role. Terry Richardson jjj package.

10. Since Riley has been with the Heat, how many times has the Heat been sellers? They are buyers because they are always trying to win. Selling is against the ethos of Riley.

11. The only move they need to make is to sell Rozier… and honestly they should take anything in return and not attach any picks

    They need to play Ware, Jovic, JJJ, Pelle, and see what they got & then in the summer figure out their next move.

12. Ah, yes…. Get even older, sink more money into a team that has no shot of winning a title. "Myopic thinking" is trading a super talented 21 year old in Jovic. This idea is beyond stupid. No offense but this coulc be the dumbest crap ive ever heard. It's time to start the #YouthMovement….PERIOD. How did this become a championship organization? We went young and drafted a star. IT'S TIME WE DO THAT AGAIN. STOP THIS MADNESS. THIS IS A MIDDLING TEAM. Doing the same thing over and over again and watching it not work is insanity.

13. Haha, Wes slow-rolling the Vucevic idea like he thought of it himself. You guys are last to the party.

14. Sellers. Duncan, Jimmy and Rozier can all bring in picks.

15. Jumping through all these hoops to stay on this build is wild. The simple answer is staring everyone in the face but no one wants to do it. Either you build to win a ship or you somewhat bottom out. Otherwise you’re just happy competing.

16. How about MPJ from Nuggets for Rozier, Highsmith, Love and Burks.

17. Wes is the worst trade guy ever. Vuc is terrible. Haven't forgotten that Wes wanted to trade Herro all last season.

18. Bruce Brown….ANOTHER under 6'5 small wing? Na lol

19. You don’t attach anything to Terry. You eat it. He’s an expiring next year. Trade Jovic to get rid of Terry…are you out of your mind?

20. Thats some bs, if the coach was about defense, where is Ware. He wouldn't play worst than love on D. Rebounding is part of defense, the team lacks it.

21. No get a stretch 5, stop with Bam at the 4.

22. Standing pay😅😅😅

23. Bulls: Gary Payton ii, Kevon Looney, and Terry Rozier

    Warriors: Jimmy Butler, Alec Burke

    Heat: Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, Lonzo Ball, Nikola Vucevic, and a pick

24. ♥️🙏

25. There are less than 15 players who are Unstoppable

    Mitchell
    Ball (younger)
    Wagner
    Lillard
    MAXEY
    Curry
    GREEK
    Tatum
    Brown
    JOKER
    DONCIC
    Durant
    BUTLER ( aging )?
    Zion
    Etc

    Zion can’t be stopped !!!!!
    Buy ZION
    Sell Butler the Old Man … I don’t like his NIckel and Dime offensive style …. Begging and Flopp for the FOUL

    Man UP
    Heat Culture about Hard Work and Being a MAN … Consistently

    BRO Men don’t wear WIGS
    Men don’t answer question Cryptically
    Men don’t TROLL the world

    Heat Culture will Barkley Zion !!!

    Bam is 27 …… the next 2 RINGS🏆🏆
    Won’t be for a few years ….. GET REAL

    TRANSFORMATION is spot on !!!!

    The Dolphins are play 1 way

    How. About a TEAM that can fast break 😡

26. Let’s get real . We stay Healthy with the crew we can’t WIN the BIG ONE

    Shaq was OG Podcast and said we can’t win it all without another 3rd Mitchell type player .

27. VUC is better than BAM Statistically

    Bam is a gloried fake ELITE player
    Thee are 15 players in the NBA with his stats

    His offense is NOT elite which is why he was on the Bench during the Olympics

    He wanted nothing to do with the ball when we lost to DETOIT… ELITE guys
    Want to the ball …. Game on the line

    BAM will have a BIG game when the pressure is OFF

    😡when we need Bam on offense we can’t flip his switch on …. he can’t be counted on in a bad spot

    Inconsistent at best .. proven over seasons

28. Rozier and Duncan cant score when we are under pressure . The CHOKE

    Rozier and Duncan pad stats during JUNK TIME or when we are front running

    Rozier and Duncan are not who you want Game 7 with FIVE minutes left game 7

29. HUGE Jaime Fan but he is HURT this season and playing hurt !

30. Blow it up. Trade Jimmy, Bam, JJJ, Terry, Tyler for future picks. Keep Dunkin for shooting, Haywood for defense, Ware is almost ready for center, Pelle Niko and dru Smith can be part of a second unit, pick up a vet like DeRozan and tank for maybe 2 years. No need to keep pursuing the impossible star we have been chasing since Jimmy. Miami should swing big with Ant man type player in the future

31. Keepers for next season

    Hero
    Bam
    Ware
    Pella
    Jaime
    SMITH ( Swiss Army knife )
    HIGHSMITH ( Defense & shoots the 3 )

    ——————————
    TRADE the REST
    What ever it takes

    Se have a great CORE

    We need 2 ELITE GUYS

32. JOVIC aid a SPAZ .. trade him

33. Heat Biggest Problem ?

    THE NBA is morphing into bigger , taller , faster and more athletic Young guys …

    EX.

    HAWKS ? All 6 ‘7’ STUDS
    MaGIC ? Even biggest ….. 6 “7” to 6”10 “ studs
    Rockets ? Same as Hawks
    OKC ? Similar to Magic
    SPURS? Getting there fast

    MIAMI Heat are small non athletic team compared to the rest of the NBA
    This change is occurring over night

    Jimmy BUTLER still Jimmy BUT he is old …. Jimmy can’t be Jimmy because athletes are getting so much bigger and better

    We must test it down !!!

    WARE is the 1st step in our NBA MORPHING!!!! He is the new world order !

    Play WARE

34. Vuc does not rotate well enough for Spo's system. It's why Spo chooses guys like Highsmith over playing other bigs next to Bam.

35. Vucevic + Coby White + T. Craig for Rozier + Ware + JJJ/Jovic

36. Should be open to being both.

37. we should be interested in Zion. He fixes the size issue and he wants to play with Herro 😅

38. Defense sucks! As long as we have Jaime, Herro,Duncan,Nico, and Rozier playing key minutes against a good team. We are going to lose!
