Miami Heat Mock Offseason: NBA Draft & Jimmy Butler’s Extension | Miami HEAT Podcast

this off season is a pivotal one for Miami’s future so we’ll be running the first of several mock off Seasons who do they draft what do they do in free agency and how do they handle Jimmy Butler’s contract will take on each phase of the Heat roster and how it could play out on today’s episode of Locked on [Music] heat you are locked on heat your daily Miami Heat podcast part of the locked on podcast Network your team everyday yes you are locked on heat your everyday podcast on the Miami Heat whether you’re tuning in on YouTube Odyssey your favorite podcast app thanks for making lock on heat your first listen every day Monday to Friday I’m West Goldberg editor at allou can heat.com here with David rill both of us credential heat media members and really pumped up about today’s show uh we’ve got a mock Miami Heat off seon or an offseason simulation of sorts we’re going to run through the entire offseason going through the key dates the big decisions including the draft Jimmy Butler’s extension negotiations free agency whale hunting we’re going to do all of it and by the end we’ll have the Heats roster for next season this is our first time doing this uh but David I think if the listeners like it uh we could do a few more of these this offseason I’m really excited for this this is right up my alley here so David you’re going to be and maybe we’ll switch this off every time we do this but right now you’re going to be the Heat’s front office so you’re going to be operating as Pat Riley Andy ellisburg Adam Simon Eric spola Nick Arison the whole group uh that’s you and then I’ll basically be everybody else so when you’re negotiating with Jimmy Butler I’ll be Jimmy Butler and Bernie Lee if you’re negotiating with another team for trade I’ll represent the other team’s front office and if you’re negotiating maybe with a potential free agent I’ll be the free agent and and his representation and I think it’s probably the best way to do it but we’ll figure it out we’ll work out the bugs as we go um but let’s just jump right in we’re going to do the draft which is June 26th and June 27th they are splitting up the first and second round for the first time this year um and fanso has this really cool Mock Draft simulator so people are not going to be able to see it on uh their screen but I could see it on my screen and that’s the most important thing here so I’m going to I’m going to just do the simulation the heat pick at 15 and we’ll see who’s left on the board when it get okay so just simulated the mock draft on the fans SPO model the Heat up with the number 15th pick uh right before us went Isaiah Collier from uh and Zack Edy so those guys are not on the board right now while Miami is picking number 15 who is on the board we’ve got Baylor’s guard jacobe Walter Duke bigman Kyle Philip howski we’ve got Devin Carter out of Providence Tristan D Silva the wing out of Colorado Jared McCain who I think Kevin oconor of the ringer had mocked to the heat uh shooting guard uh out of Duke uh Yas Missy the center out of Baylor and then uh a couple more guys on the board including khle wear out of Indiana um and a few other guys there so uh who do you like uh this is our war room so right now you and I are both sort of operating as the heat front office because there’s nothing for me to do here as somebody that’s not the heat so we can kind of debate this but of this group I still think that there’s some pretty good options here at number 15 I agree I think we’re looking at probably somebody that can both stretch the floor and provide some much needed size for Miami’s front Court particularly considering what happens in free agency and a couple big names that are going to be uh available and that might you know even within Miami’s roster might choose to leave the team and so I’m looking at a player in particular that I think can add think as much as I like Devin Carter and I’d love to keep it within the family obviously AC a big part of Miami’s pass and I’d love to be able to do that for him my pick if I’m moving forward and you can debate this if you want is khil wear out of Indiana I like his stretching ability as far as he could shoot he didn’t get that many opportunities while Indiana but I think it’s a long range skill that he has that he could add to the table I think he is a developmental project but at the same time he brings the length the size the athleticism and all the tools that you’re looking for in a current Center he reminds me a little bit of Derek Lively who was available around this pick too for the Dallas Mavericks last year I think he’s that type of guy who could be a rim rolling threat he can create his own offense like I said he can shoot he can stretch the floor his low post game needs a little bit of work but in the NBA today that’s really not much of a factor but given all that that his youth his talent his size and everything else that he does have I think he’s a smart pick at 15 I don’t mind the pick he’s on my board I’m curious I I think Evas Missy is a little bit more polished and a little bit more ready to go than K wear similar in size kware 71 230 lb Missy 7t 230 lb Missy a little bit more productive in terms of uh blocks and things like that but Kare a very good shot Blocker in his own right you’re I think both of them have some floor stretching potential C wear that’s more of his you see him get compared to a Miles Turner or a Brook Lopez quite a bit um I think there’s I I get I hesitate to draft guys who are compared to Brook Lopez and Miles Turner cuz it feels like a lot of guys get compared to those guys and then never become those guys it feels like the floor and the ceiling for guys in that sort of category that that Arch type is very wide and it scares me off a little bit and most mock drafts actually have Kal Weare being taken in like the low 20s as opposed to the middle of the first round here so I wonder if if that’s our Target because there’s still better Cent quote unquote better higher rated centers on the board Kyle Philip housei out a Duke uh Missy were just talking about like these guys are higher on most people’s boards I I don’t have to remind you as a member of our warm room with everybody else zigs the Miami he always zag we have our own but I do wonder if we could trade back that’s a possibility I don’t Miami has rarely done that in the FR they don’t move up or or down yeah they usually they either stay or move out completely we we found our guy he T he he he checks off all the boxes he’s got the int tangibles he’s comes from a good program he’s heady he’s smart enough he he can fit that role for us I don’t mind taking a risk on a developmental project that a lot of people don’t have slated for 15 hell the last time we did it a few years ago we wound up taking an all-nba Center in bam at a bio so I feel comfortable taking that selection at 15 he’s he was coached by Mike Woodson who obviously has some NBA quite a bit of NBA experience as a coach so I do hear you on that I do like the pedigree there I’m not ready to move off of Devin Carter completely I felt like you just sort of glossed over it that fits a need for the heat 63 6 4ish long wing span very productive at Providence but he projects right away as a guy who can be an on ball Defender I think this is almost a better Prospect than Davon Mitchell was a few years ago but I think his stock has dropped because Davon Mitchell uh has sort of it’s been a slow start to his career but the difference between Carter and Mitchell is that Mitchell has an average wingspan right he’s like 64 with a 6 five wingspan Carter’s wingspan is long like this guy could to me could be maybe the next guy in like the Lou Dort Marcus Smart kind of jayen Suggs family there and the players are really hard to come by maybe even more hard to come by than some of these centers that we’re talking about and the family connection is real I kind I’m I’m not ready to move off of drafting him I I’ll tell you what Wes you know you know you’re you’re familiar with this we brought him in for a workout comfortable here obviously in terms of uh you know the familiarity with the franchise and the surroundings and everything else like that I I you know we’ve watched him for years shooting on this practice floor you know I was sitting next to Mickey we were making these decisions together uh he did not look completely comfortable in his shooting drills he certainly did not put up the kind of numbers that we expect at this pick and I I think we’d like to revisit this he’s always going to be welcome family his family here with his heat front office and so he’s going to be available to us at some point later down later on in his NBA career but as far as a draft I don’t think he’s the position of need that we’re looking for so as much as I want to do AC the favor I think we still have to go Deon Carter’s future he’s gonna be selected in the first round no matter what and I’m sure he’s goingon to be happy with it but he needs to carve out his own career his own you know future in terms of the NBA and kind of step out of his death Shadow a bit okay yeah doing him as solid by not drafting him way to spin that um it’s uh all right look I think the other part of this too is who has more trade value I think if we’re being honest as a front office we do have to consider that considering some of the things that we want to try to accomplish this off season and I do think somebody like Missy or khil we has more draft value than perhaps Devin Carter at this juncture considering that Devon Carter is your Junior Miss’s a freshman khil we is a sophomore uh you feel strongly about khil we you’re the Scout pounding the table we got to draft this guy I like I like what you’re talking about in terms of we’ve got our own Big Board we don’t care about your filipowski we’ve got our K we at the top of ours we did it with bam I like it I love the size at 71 230 with a good frame that he feels like he’s going to add to you’re right the pedigree is good the coaching you know he’s been coached up for a year I kind of like that he’s a sophomore over a freshman in Missy maybe a little bit more polished although still raw but yes has been coached up all right the Miami Heat select K we with the 15th pick we’re going to move on now filipowski went to the very next pick by the way then jacobe Walter then Devin Carter to the Orlando Magic they don’t need him they got Jaylen Suggs all right all right and the Miami Heat are back on the board with the 43rd pick in the second round the first time that we’ve been selecting in the second round in quite a while right since the first time I think we’re going to keep our pick maybe or potentially the first time we have a chance to keep our pick since like what do I have this right Josh Richardson Pao they traded into the quak Pao pick yeah so um all right who we taking here number two lead Scout David RL well you know what uh the reason why we didn’t take Deon Carter was because I like this point guard out of Spain Juan Nunes I think he’s a flashy passer I think he projects as a good score at the NBA level we we had success with Nico as far as an international Prospect and I think he’s got the mature the talent The Flash he’s already played professionally even at a young age he’s ready to play in our system and while our guard situation is a little bit more stable I think than our front court at the same time I think he projects as a long-term Prospect a guy who can have a multi-year solid career and he’s got some really nice potential we’re taking Juan Nunes out of Spain 20 years old like you mentioned out of Spain six foot4 what I like about him he’s an assist guy he’s a steal guy and those things I think could be very valuable in our offense my my concern is the three-point shooting and the free throw shooting is not good and so there’s not a lot of indicators that this guy’s going to be able to turn into an above average to good three-point shooter which we kind of need the way that our roster is built that said we have turned non-shooters into Shooters before we’re going to trust our developmental system Juan Nunes is the pick for number 43 for the Miami Heat all right so that’s the draft we got khle we with the number one pick Juan n with our second round pick um I like the hall overall that looks good to me uh so we’ve got two new players we’re going to be moving on next to our own free agents Caleb Martin Kevin Love Thomas Bryant Josh Richardson they have player options that they have to consider plus we have big negotiations coming up with Jimmy Butler all that coming up on our mock Miami Heat offseason here on lock down heat

your first listen every day make sure you’re subscribed on YouTube and on your favorite podcast app if you’re enjoying the mock Miami Heat off season please let us know in the comments on YouTube leave us a five star rating review on your podcast app if you guys like this we’re going to do them some more because we can keep changing with new information and just random things that happen there’s a lot of ways that this offseason can play out and we’re going to try to enter the metaverse and and figure out all of them essentially the metaverse the whatever it doesn’t matter sure um so let’s start with Miami’s own free agents it’s June 29th a couple days after the draft it’s the last day for team or player options to be exercised so even this happens even before on the NBA calendar before the start of free agency before even technically you’re allowed to start negotiating with Jimmy Butler for an extension so we’re going to do this right now it’s June 29th on the calendar Caleb Martin has a player option Thomas Bryant has a player option Kevin Love Josh rson they both have player options so four players we’ll start with Caleb at the top his player option for next year worth $7.1 million a little bit of a neut a kind of a a a stagnant season for him in terms of development he did score 10 points per game Off the Bench he was still a useful player for Miami dealing with some injuries as the season went on I do still think that the expectation is that he’s going to opt out and at least try to get a longer term deal worth a little bit more money I think most people project him being able to probably get to that $10 million figure over three-ish years and if that’s the case then you have to opt out if you’re Caleb Martin I’m Caleb in this situation and I considered the possibility of not opting out you know part of the way I’m wired the appreciation for the opportunity my Miami gave me the camaraderie I’ve built over the last few years everything that I’ve been able to experience as a member of the Heat organization and I considered you know just betting on myself we hear that phrase a lot from heat from not Heat players from NBA players you know they want to bet on themselves they take a chance you know what you don’t collect the money right away there’s unfinished business I still want to bring a title to Miami but you know what I can’t give up that opportunity I know there’s gonna be he already bet on himself once you you don’t want to play roulette too many times that’s right that’s right and I looked at next year’s free agency class There’s an opportunity for me to make more money next year but you know what if I can collect a bigger payday now and get a longer term deal a secure deal that provides that money upfront and I know that Miami can’t match that ability I’m taking it and so I step into Pat Riley’s office I thank him for the opportunity and everything that we were able to accomplish over the last few years but I have to opt out and seek better opportunities elsewhere so he’s gonna opt out he’s gonna enter free agency I do think if we’re the heat front office operating here that we want to keep that door open there’s a lot that can happen if he Ops out we and we sign the 15th pick which we’re going to and we sign our second round pick which we plan on doing um then we are still 7.7 million below the second tax apron now that’s not going to be enough to bring Caleb back but if we’re able to shed salary in a different way we would be very open to maybe revisiting Caleb Martin’s contract this when he as a free agent this summer and perhaps even bringing him back on something that makes a little I’ve never been a coveted free agent before and so part of the thrill is that I’m gonna have teams woo me in a way that I haven’t had throughout my NBA career you know I picked Miami when I was waved by the Charlotte Hornets now I have a chance to to Really carve out the beginnings of my generational wealth and that opportunity to meet with other teams and have them pitch me is something I can’t pass up so yes absolutely Miami still has an opportunity to resign me but the reality is I’m looking elsewhere for the more lucrative did we did we did we do a roll swap here now where you’re the players and I’m the front office can we go back to one more plan either way either way either way uh Thomas Bryant has the player option for $2.8 million we’ll go with him next I think you and I expect he’ll probably opt in although if I’m Thomas Bryant and my agent I do you think he opts out I do I do this is new for you you gave this some more thought yes I did I think look one we’re seeing the need for the big man across the league right we just talked about it in yesterday’s episode I think I didn’t get a good opportunity in Miami I’m stuck behind Kevin Love’s old ass I can’t get any playing time over Orlando goddamn Robinson and I think Eric spola as much as he’s respected around the league just hasn’t utilized me as fully and I appreciate the opportunity they gave me I’ve got my ring already I want minutes I want playing time I’m not going to get down in Miami so I’ve said in previous episodes that I do I wouldn’t be surprised if he opted out $2.8 million is not a lot of money to leave on the table it’s essentially the veteran minimum and I think he’s going to get that somewhere there’s too much potential he’s 26 years old 7 feet tall a good rebounder three-point shooting potential those guys get chances in the league and he’s not leaving a lot of money on the table so Thomas Bryant Ops out boom Kevin Love player option $4 million um Kevin Love Ops in Josh Richardson player option $3 million Josh Richardson opson good to go I agree I agree on both counts July 1st is the start of free agency the new league year begins on July 1st so does the free agency moratorium so we’ve got a week now where you can’t sign free agents but you can negotiate with free agents and you can negotiate with your own free agents so we already let Caleb Martin know hey don’t don’t close the door on us if we call for a meeting keep those phone lines open although no promises and we also have Jimmy Butler’s extension to discuss now he becomes extension eligible in a few days but we’re allowed to start talking with him right now about that extension here’s the tough part so you’re the heat front office David I’m Jimmy Butler and Bernie Lee in this situation sometime at the beginning of July I come back from Barcelona or wherever I was and I show up uh with the heat in the heat front office with beads in my hair saying hey uh are we ready to talk about this extension I know you gave that end of season press conference I know you’ve gotta maybe this is Bernie Lee talking now I know you gotta you know put your put your foot down and and try to create some leverage look we all want to get on the same page here you want Jimmy Butler to retire as a member of the Miami Heat Jimmy Butler wants to retire as a member of the miam heat let’s just get this extension done we’ll be back we’ll be available next year last year was the season from hell not just for Jimmy but for everybody on that roster Tyler hero missed 40 games Caleb Martin missed a bunch of time like it was just injuries the injury bug was just going around the locker room we’ll be back this is Jimmy Butler we’ll be back next year let’s let’s let’s go ahead and get this two-year $13 million Max extension and let’s just keep the good times rolling you know first of all I present Jimmy a large bag of Panamanian Geisha coffee beans which is rated as the number one beans in the world as a a kind of tribute you know I just I thought you know even though I drink my coffee black from Dunkin Donuts I still think that uh and this is true I saw Pat Riley I saw Pat Riley at a Dunkin Donuts drinking black coffee years ago even before I started covering the team and so I for me it’s like that has I think he was still actually coaching at that point I like that you know the you remember the coffee order that’s good reporting I was like like six o’clock in the morning he was just kind of rolling in going to the keus Gan or I guess where he lives in keis Gan so I guess he was going somewhere suited to theat facility no in shorts he was I think he like I said I think he was he wore shorts yeah as a coach yeah I think he did yeah and so he was there and it was really early in the morning and I was just like hey that’s Pat Riley it was fantastic I actually I want up S seeing a movie at the same time this is a complete aside here I W up going to a movie years ago and he sat in the same row as I did with him the whole family went out there Chris the two kids they were it was a fantastic experience this is a great Pat Riley uh impression just sort of going off on different tangents and different stories we’ll continue with the Jimmy Butler Pat Riley extension negotiations yeah so I give you the coffee and I I look you in the eye and I say thank you Jimmy you know I this is an incredible we’ve had a great run here but we know it’s not finished but we also know it’s not about the money you want to win you want to win here I can’t in good conscience look at this contract right now you’re under contract for another two years this season and the next and I know there’s a contract extension you’re eligible for but that’s about money it’s not about money with us we’re different we’re Cut From the Same Cloth you and I you’re gonna get your money you’re getting your money all over the place from endorsements from hotel.com from your coffee business and everything else like that it’s not about the money you’ve got the respect and fear around the league but the one thing that’s missing from your resume is a championship and you want to do that here in Miami and your best chance of doing it is here in Miami and so I’m not prepared to even discuss a contract extension at this point in time because you’re already next summer that’s a whole different story next summer when you’ve got your ring on your finger and you can set the terms however you like we’ll renegotiate at that point in time but not this summer we don’t have to and I don’t think that we should and I don’t think you think that we should either this isn’t about money this is about you proving that you can play a number of games and carry this team as you have over the past five years and I’ll do my job to make this roster the best possible but you still have to do yours living out the rest of this contract and carrying this team to a championship the way that you said you would Jimmy Butler and Bernie Lee respond after this what a fantastic tease that was today’s episode brought to you by Price

on YouTube and on your favorite podcast app all right we just heard from Pat Riley The Stance is clear Pat does not want to even entertain these negotiations until next summer appealing to Jimmy Butler’s competitive side so now I’m Jimmy Butler and Bernie Lee and I say Pat I hear you all of it’s great we do want to win more than anything we are cut from the same cloth we are heat culture just as much as you are heat culture look at the last 5 years and all the winning that we did we understand all of this but we still got to take care of ourselves and Jimmy Butler is 30 going to be 35 years old going into next season and he does not want to risk he doesn’t want to be have a lame duck season without a contract extension and if we’re all fully committed here to winning then let’s just get something done that shows that commitment to Jimmy Butler because he has been the captain of the second greatest era in heat history and it would only put it over the top if we were able to win a championship but you talk about doing what I said that I wanted to do in winning a championship what about you doing what you said you were going to do and giving me the roster that I needed to win a championship and finding that second superstar that you that you have yet to find if we want to talk about keeping promises well you haven’t exactly held your end of the bargain either in that regard and so why don’t we every opportunity so we are we want an extension we are not we are not going to leave this summer we’re not going to go into next year in a lame duck season that’s not going to happen and we want and we we deserve the 2-year $113 million Max contract and if you’re not even willing to hear us talk about that extension well then you know that there are other teams out there like Philadelphia who have the cap space and would be willing to give us that extension and to be honest offer a roster even more competitive than yours right now maybe that we can walk into with jool and be and tyres Maxi I’m negotiating here break the fourth wall uh we don’t care that Jolan beid gets hurt every other game and and doesn’t play in the it doesn’t that doesn’t matter to us we believe that we can win in Philadelphia and they’re willing to give us that contract so if you’re not we might have to have those conversations with Philadelphia fair enough then you’re free to do so if you think that that’s something that you can negotiate on your own that’s fine I I just we can’t do this we cannot give you this money based on what we saw last year we know that last year was an aberration and that you’re capable of more that you’re capable of better and the way you’re talking right now it does not seem like winning is a priority it seems like security which you already have and money which you already have as the priority and so to be honest with you I’m a little disappointed because my vision for you was that you were going to be the next generation of a Dwayne Wade like player you saw what we’ve done with Dwayne how we honor him how we respect him youry that was a different story luy he came back that we made a mistake yes you made a mistake don’t make the same mistake now don’t make that same mistake now then all right let’s fast forward let’s fast forward this whole thing all right we agree to table this for now Jimmy Butler says I’ll be willing to take would would I would you be willing to sign me to a Max an extension for something less than the max would you be would you entertain at least having that conversation this is Bernie Lee Bernie Lee puts Jimmy shoves Jimmy Butler out the door he’s like Bernie or Bernie Lee says to Pat Pat let’s just have a real quick conversation sidebar we understand where you’re coming from could we do something for less than the max because that that extra year of security is is Meaningful to Jimmy Jimmy does want that commitment from you guys but if you’re able to go get a star the one that you promised Jimmy years ago we would be willing perhaps to take less money on a contract extension save you some money take remember we’re opting out of $53 million next year we’ll take less money that year for the security of that additional year but we got to know that you’re going to hold up your end of the bargain and improve this roster around Jimmy buer so he doesn’t have to do so much during the regular season which he clearly does not want to do so this is really bad negotiating by Bernie Lee I don’t think he would say any of this but I’m just saying this in terms of trying to move this conversation along but um think I understand what you’re coming we can do that okay so let I will also go I will also say you’re going to have to meet certain incentives in that contract and I think my incentives are that you’re gonna have to play that Jimmy will have to play a minimum of 70 games next season or guarantee a title and you can have that in contact and you you’ll get whatever money you need as long as you can meet those criteria you have to play 70 games so we’re talking about something less than the max but if you if I hit those criteria in terms of the 70 games in terms of the the winning the championship we we’ll write that in as unlikely bonuses and then that’ll get me up to Max money yes all right so let’s table this for now I I like Jimmy Butler Bernie Lee we know that we can get Max money from Philadelphia we are not we are not against exploring that option for us this summer but if you can go get a star then we would be willing to take less money in the name of winning in the name of being able to retire and WI a Championship with the Miami Heat so we’re tbling this for now the next part here this is going to be tricky the Donovan Mitchell extension so in this sense we got to figure out what’s going to happen here maybe you’re the Cavs front office and I’m Donovan Mitchell I don’t know um all right so you and I agree that in this offseason simulation Donovan Mitchell says it’s been real Cleveland but the fit with Darius Garland hasn’t been exactly right I appreci appreciate you firing JB bicker staff but I don’t want to be the guy who’s hiring coaches like that’s not exactly where like donov Mitchell hasn’t been that guy throughout his career he’s not the the coach fire he’s not going down the Trey young LeBron James kind of route of kind of trying to dictate those things he’s always he’s never demanded a trade he’s never asked for a trade he got traded from Utah because they decided to blow it up like this donov Mitchell has been a team first guy and based on the way he handled this season in Cleveland I believe him to be a team first guy which is why Miami the the Miami want him so badly but with all that said I don’t think that Donovan Mitchell and good conscious could commit to Cleveland long term considering the other options that are out there for him and so right now Donovan Mitchell does not sign the extension with the Cleveland Cavaliers despite the recent reporting that Cleveland is increasingly confident that they get can get him maybe that’s just leverage maybe that’s just trying to get people off the scent hey please stop talking to our guy through back channels uh before we even get a chance to negotiate with him I think there’s some an element of that happen Happ there but um because Donovan Mitchell decides that he doesn’t want to assign the extension Cleveland is at least open to trading him now they’re not shopping him right they’re not going to shop him nor should they by the way they he’s still under contract for a year like there’s something there’s something to be said about having Don Mitchell back for another season if you’re the Cavaliers but they need to at Le they would they would not be doing their job if they were not at least listening to trade offers for Donovan Mitchell the heat will be calling Cleveland about Donovan Mitchell now we’re already at over 30 minutes on today’s episode David so here’s what we’re going to do we’re going to record this we’re going to end it here we’re going to do the Donovan Mitchell trade stuff in a part two as well as handling the rest of fre agency and filling out Miami’s roster going into next season we’re going to do all of that in a part two of our Miami Heat mock off seon simulation make sure you check that out YouTube wherever you get your podcast we’re ending this episode for now but that next part two will be uh up shortly as well

We’ve got a mock Miami Heat offseason. We run through the entire offseason, going through the key dates and big decisions including the draft, Jimmy Butler’s extension, free agency and trades.

And by the end, Wes Goldberg and David Ramil come up with the Heat’s roster for next season.
