    I do think Beal’s contract is horrendous, and going over the second apron also seems undesirable in the new CBA, but I’m ngl it’s pretty frustrating to see us miss out on scorers who might’ve put us over the hump like Mitchell, Beal, or Dame. All of those guys’ trades didn’t work out for different reasons (not enough assets, bad contract, and Blazers refusing to talk), but it’s still frustrating as hell.

    Oh well, I hope to dear god Tyler takes another jump and makes me feel better about all this.

    So many stars wanna be with us but we can’t make it happen. Sad

    Micky Arison is a basketball terrorist.

    Yeah this isn’t a Riley problem. It’s clearly a Mickey problem. For fucks sake man please sell the team if your broke ass doesn’t want to win

  5. lolvalue

    I can’t blame ownership on this one and I believe Mickey is right about Herro not being that far behind beal, especially at the price. That second apron means you can’t even sign buyouts at during the season, it’s wild.

    Why post this? At this point who cares. Every player wants to come here. Unfortunately, we won’t make it happen for some reason. And I’m fine with that. Let’s run it back until Jimmy retires.

  7. Yet some people here refuse to criticize the organization. Unserious ass franchise

  8. oneofone305

    They told us they passed on Beal because they were getting Dame just to end up running it back with neither lmao you can’t make this up

    This year or next Herro will be better than Beal is. Look at the first few years of their careers, the comparison is pretty close, although Tyler is clearly the much better player after their first four years respectively. He’s trending up, Beal is trending down. Unless the Wizards would’ve taken both Duncan and Lowry it doesn’t make sense, and even then that’s an objectively worse package than Poole, a first round pick, 4 pick swaps and 239 seconds.

    yall were saying he chose phoenix only and we couldn’t get him tho

    we won’t be able to upgrade if we don’t get a owner that’s ok with spending

  11. enTernamehereonce

    Arison is ruining the teams potential with his financial limitations

  12. Not saying I didn’t want Beal, but it’s gonna look real bad for Phoenix if they don’t win the championship though for all they gave up.

    it’s actually very insane to me that there’s still people on here dickriding Mickey. it’s like shit isn’t clicking in your brains, it’s strange. you can be a lifelong heat fan and simultaneously criticize the front office and the owner for not putting the team in the right position to succeed and win a chip.

    people on here act like you’re not a “real” fan or are a spoiled fan if you speak factually about what’s going on. y’all are the delusional ones for continuously criticizing those who don’t d*ckride mickey/pat. we’ve been a successful organization, we’re one of the best in the league…doesn’t change the fact that mickey has been extremely disappointing in the jimmy era. and the cop out response of saying we’ve been to 2 finals and 3 ecf…that has absolutely nothing to do with Mickey or the front office lmao. jimmy bam and spo did that with whoever decided to step up that year.

    Eh, I get it. This team doesn’t get materially better from adding Beal, but subtracting the outgoing players + the penalties of the 2nd apron like losing exceptions and ability to sign bought out vets.

    Some additional offense sure but this team wins with depth and defense.

  15. RayearthIX

    It’s amazing to me how many people seem to hate Micky Arison. The way some of the people here talk you’d think he was Jimmy Haslem or Dan Snyder… you’d think he wasn’t the person who brought in Pat Riley, and wasn’t the owner for 7 NBA finals appearances and 3 NBA titles.

    He’s one of the best owners in pro sports, and people here criticize him for not wanting to spends tens to hundreds of millions more of his own money in taxes and player salary. It’s insane to me. We literally have the 6th highest payroll in NBA according to Spotrac, 5th according the Basketball Reference, and people act like this is the Jeffrey Loria Marlins.

  16. Global33_to_Idlewild

    I really don’t think Beal is the missing piece with this team, and I’d rather have a still developing Herro. I don’t mind the debate with anyone who feels differently about that.

    However, most of these posts are trashing ownership. Bruh, I am a fan of teams in other sports that are not Miami based that have truly *terrible* ownership. The kind that values offseason FA signings over actual Ws. It ends up being year after year of over the hill expensive stars that never bring a championship.

    Experiencing fandom of that kind of team, being a heat fan is a breath of fresh air and you can see how this team doesn’t care about offseason splashes and only focuses on the right players and winning. Can’t imagine what could be wrong with that.

    Now excuse me while i get ready to watch the Jets this weekend where an over the hill splashy FA “superstar” is a waste of salary cap space and a 2OA pick continues being a huge bust.

    If beal was serious about being here he would have lifted his no trade clause .He’s in pheonix with btw You can’t trade for that ugly contract without anyway of getting out of it especially not in this new cba .
