Heat expect to lock in their cornerstone center through the 2028-29 season.” (Shams)

I was very worried he would leave us, glad I can see him as a Heat for life
(he could’ve got more money next year he must really love us)

Kind of a no brainer. I had read he might put it off a year to try to get a supermax.
Sign Bam to like a 15 year contract
The prince who was promised!

Draft day is getting SPICY in this bitch👀👀👀
Best news I heard all day
13 will continue to carry the torch for this franchise. So beyond thankful for Alonzo and the rest of the guys seeing the potential in him years ago.
Now let’s get some size and unleash Bam’s full potential. LFG HEAT
Him not waiting a year to get a supermax is great for us.
Let’s fucking go!!
Bam really is our new captain. Didn’t wait for the Supermax. My DPOY
Now esjay and a lot of y’all can stop whining about him leaving. I predict Bam is going to take over number 1 option duties this season as a passing of the torch. He even hinted at it when he tweeted when he was tired of people just knowing him as defense only.
My sweet prince stay
Avinash 9/11
Honestly that’s a great deal to get done now, especially if he hits a supermax qualifier this season
Fuck yes. Honestly kind of surprised he didn’t wait until next year to see if he could get more money

how is Scottie Barnes or OG worth more than Bam?
Would’ve been $245M/4yr if he wasn’t snubbed from the all-NBA team 😳
Thank god no supermax 🙏
Let’s fucking go! Now get my man a real center and/or PG this summer and let’s work from there
Holy shit crazy steal
Heat culture jerseys can rot in the depths of hell
Good deal.
Now, trade Herro so we can actually build something.
He’ll have his jersey in the rafters when his career is done.
Why only 3 years? Dude is young.
Worth all the money , he is our entire defense & improving offensively every year
Bam is a 5 time all defensive player
Holy overpay!
Not gonna lie, I almost had a heart attack.
As it should be
Avinash in shambles
He’s worth every penny too
Remember this is an extension
$34.8, $37, $51.2, $55.2, $59
Earned that. Been the best player on the team for years
Love Bam! Way to go Bam!!!
$55M for a guy with very limited offense…he better develop a nice 3pt shot for that price tag.
Not to mention that elite big men cook him: Embiid, Jokic all feast on him.
Does Bam not getting the super max put us in better position for this offseason? Assuming riles is not asleep
This is a bit of a discount I wonder if Bam is thinking about Jimmy with this
Bam took a paycut, now it’s Jimmy’s turn what a Heatlifer. Bam worth minimum 200mill for 3yrs.
Love Bam. Had to be done.
and he’s taking a pay cut cause if he waited for next year he was in line for a 5 year 340M a year, love my franchise’s centerpiece
# Did Jimmy get extended yet????
No?!
Ok then…

Salute to the Captain
