Let's win game 4 and focus on lillard later 😢
This guy Wes is a disgrace. We have a game at home to tie it 2-2 and instead of talking about what we need to do to win, we’re talking about losing the finals to get Lillard in the off season. Then again I can’t even say I’m surprised.
Throw Jovic in there.
We need to stop smoking bunnies at the rim and it'll give us a good shot
Jimmy Butler, isn't Michael Jordan…. Kill the EXCUSES. Giannis was REALLY HURT… and you guy's didn't mention that as a factor
Brooklyn has Picks forever and a bunch of wanted wings to trade…. He would definitely have to force his way here….
No, we need someone who is going to get a damn rebound.
I gotta agree with Wes on this one; I would rather have Dame and exciting basketball for the next few years, over one chip now
I agree with Rohan. I want the Championship this year. The most clutch run in sports history. That's GOT to be worth 3 chips on its own.
Can’t believe Wes is talking about the offseason when we’re in the middle of the Finals, he’s always talking about how the Heat may have the ability to acquire stars like when he mentioned at one point about the possibilities of Luka coming to Miami, the reality is that an actual Super Star hasn’t been here in about a decade. Dude stop dreaming and worry about our realistic chances of improving this roster after the Finals are over.
If things were up to Wes Miami Heat would have traded away Jimmy & have tanked all season. Now he wants to talk about Lilliard in the NBA FINALS? What a sellout man… I remember the Cavs talk radio 2016 down 3-1. We never gave up believing, This Miami team is special!!!
this isn't "Locked on Heat" without dave on the podcast… Jimmy said at the start of the season they're "Gonna win the F** championship" – where's that same energy from this podcast?
Miami heat will be just fine without a fan like Wes
Although Wes said the most blasphemous take ever…. But I respect and understand where he’s coming from lol having dame is sweet. But the championship is everything lol
For the people trashing Wes needs to chill lol this was just a discussion. Y’all need to chill
Dame over a chip right now? Wildly inappropriate. Both the answer as well as the question.
Butler has been on a bum ankle the entire playoffs, and we had no Herro. There are no excuses for the Bucks.
I prefer the title right now, the story we would so beautiful
stop making excuses for Bam's minutes He has averaged the same minutes regardless of who he guards. I have never seen a 25 year old in the nba as a starter and top 2 player that plays fewer minutes than Bam. Work on his cardio and add some muscle in the off season. it is ridiculous that he is 3rd in the team in minutes through the reg season and even some of the play off games that have been close. this is where we need tyler who can play 48 and wants to play 48.
Miami can't score it's the same plan that didn't work against the Lakers this front office never seems to learn and adjust we need players who can create se need some size ..they keep coming back with the same team and plan that don't work long term…
I think had we faced ANY OTHER TEAM we would definitely win. These Nuggets are amazing. That said the best championships are against the best possible talent. Miami CAN win this series!
Pat riley needs to slap the shit outta Wes Goldberg… He doesn't have the guts to cover these finals. We are in the finals down 2-1. Kick Wes off the show & get someone who's passionate about this team right now! Jimmy & Bam are our guys- deal with it…
When I was 15yrs old it took me 2 years to find a certain part of a women's anatomy….. SPO been trying to find proper rotations his entire career. WAKE UP. Blind
CLUELESS Heat fans…..
Win or loose the finals, the Heat should still make the Lillard trade. And also sign Dwight Howard to a vet minimum deal.
we are not getting Lillard. He said miami or brooklyn and even without bridges brooklyn beats any package we have that does not include bam or jimmy. i am sick of this every off season. WE NEVER GET ANY OF THESE GUYS!!!!!
So even if we can get Lillard we are giving up the next 8 years of our future for a 2 year window. That leaves us a lillard or butler injury for that being the worst trade in heat history.
I agree with the idea of winning those minutes without Jokic. Jimmy /Love two man game is interesting. Spo is always saving something. Off-season??? While we in the middle of the finals. 😐
@wcgoldberg no other team in the NBA puts out this podcast when their team is in the finals down2 to 1 and plays tonight. Players hear this crap. ESPECIALLY TYLER AND DUNCAN. HTF do you post this now? Post it after the fucking finals. I had a lot of respect for you but this is just stupid. If I am the Heat I am disgusted you put this out today and kicking you out of our locker room.
@wcgoldberg did you actually say you would rather have lillard than to win this year? wtf do you want dame for? to win a ring. You assume if we trade our future for lillard we are going to win 4 rings? just you making this statement makes me lose all respect for you. If you wrote for another team that would be one thing. you write for the Heat. No one would trade a ring for anyone other than Jordan, Magic, Bird, Kobe or Lebron in their prime. Not a 34 year old player who has never made it out of the second round.
This such a pessimistic person
Would be great to have him on our team … without trading bam or jimny
I need a Herro to save me
For Miami to get Damian we need to give Portland herro and Lowry. They get a rising star in herro and an expiring contract in Lowry. Maybe add some draft picks. But they get to save money with Lowry and get a rising star in herro, perfect situation.
