Miami Heat Buyout Targets Options: Danilo Gallinari & Thaddeus Young Favorites To Sign With The Heat

And I’m really glad that you mentioned the fact that the heat made like they did what they wanted 17 days ago cuz let’s be honest in my opinion if Miami made the trade for Terry Rosier not 17 days ago if they did it yesterday there

Would be a parade in sou uh in bis game Boulevard like you can never please Miami Heat fans in my opinion but with the fact that you said that they got what they wanted with Rosier we know that Martin was a tradable asset I didn’t want to let him go if it was

Unless it was for someone that can help us down low but here’s my question for you and I think it’s kind of a two-parter because now that the trade deadline is over we know what’s coming up next the buyout Market everybody’s talking about the buyout Market a lot of people are getting

Released a lot of people are rumored to get released so here’s mine for you Ethan we talked about this a little bit yesterday but I want to know is there somebody particular in the buyout Market that you feel is going to work perfectly with Miami and does Miami already their

Have their eyes on someone probably with the buyout Market well there there are three or four names I think and and the first thing is to caution everybody because typically buyout players don’t add anything I you know this is a little bit skewed because Kevin Love was such a

Perfect fit last year and honestly shouldn’t have been cut loose by Cleveland but I think his pride was hurt that he wasn’t playing there anymore honestly they could use him right now um he’d probably be playing ahead of Dean Wade right now but he he struggled from three last year and defensively excuse

Me he falling off even more but typically buyout players work out like Mike Bibby worked out for Miami like it’s it’s not usually a place where you can get you know someone who’s going to close for you um and that’s the way Miami evaluates things I always talk

About this their whole thing about acquisition of players is is this somebody that Eric spoler would use is this one of seven guys that Eric spoler would use to close a game if it’s not they’re not going to give up much for the player so in a buyout situation you

Don’t typically have to give up much now they can can give up they do have a midlevel they they they have a vehicle that they could bring someone in if they needed to so here are the names I would watch they can’t sign anybody because they’re over the first apron and they

Can’t sign anybody who’s making more than 12.4 million uh prior to the buyout so Heat fans are always complaining they don’t spend enough well they spent enough to get themselves above the first apron which limits their flexibility and mostly the reason that they don’t spend is because of flexibility it’s not

Because of money it’s because they don’t want to lose some of these vehicles and it’s another reason why they will not go into the second apron I don’t think under any circumstances they will make sure that Andy figures out a way to get them under but the guys I think that the

Guy I would like them to go get is stadius youngan um that that would be my preference uh because I think he can still play a little bit but beyond that he’s a great locker room guy um he has had that reputation pretty much everywhere he’s been he’s very close

With Andre guadala who has uh very positive feelings about the Heat organization and expresses them all the time and I just think he’s a perfect guy to add to that locker room and I think SPO would use him as a small ball five I think he would use him

Occasionally next to Bam the guy I think they’re gonna go after is galinari because they have been obsessed with galinari for years and they have a habit of cycling back like they got Gary Payton 10 years after they wanted to get him they thought they had Gary pton all

The way back when they sign when they signed Tim Hardaway in 1996 they thought they had Gary pton signed and by the way Gary Payton’s agent was Aaron Goodwin who happens to be the same agent who represents Dame Lillard they thought they had him and

Gary went back to Seattle at the time uh they ended up getting him nine years later you know pass his Prime and he helped him win a championship Jake prowder they went after four years like everybody was making a big deal about well they got Iguodala during the co

Season their target was Crowder they were trying to get Crowder forever Trevor arza was another one they had looked at for a long time there’s a long list of these guys well galinari they’ve almost traded for him at least three times okay and the last time that they

Almost traded for him uh it might happened again but it happened during the covid season when they made the trade for Crowder and Iguodala and Solomon Hill galinari was supposed to be part of those deals but he wanted three years and they offered him two he he

Offered he wanted three or one they offered him two and so they did end up getting him it’s interesting because if they had gotten him he was closer to his Prime at that point I wonder if that might have helped them get over the hump in the finals because they didn’t have

Enough scoring when Goran went out uh and Bam got hurt but anyway it didn’t happen so at this point I don’t know how much Gallow has left he’s always hurt uh he’s not really their prototype player uh in a lot of different ways they kind of tried to recreate the Prototype with

Yic he’s sort of like he’s sort of what they want yic to become so I feel like maybe it might be a way to bring him in to kind of Mentor um yage Kevin’s already doing a little bit that anyway but that’s the guy I would look at the

Other one I would look at is dlan Wright um obviously relationship with derell um Drell came back for Udonis is Jersey retirement and Delon was around the Heat organization a lot I used to see him a lot around there so they’re familiar with him and he’d give them a

Point of attack Defender I don’t know how healthy he is right now though um he did give Tyler Fitz in the playoffs a couple years ago if you remember and and I think he can add that element and so you know he doesn’t make a ton of shots

Now but honestly he could be um he might be an upgrade over Josh defensively from what we’ve seen this year so he might be somebody that they add to the mix also those would be the three names and the other one that’s come up but I haven’t heard anything specific about him with

Miami but he makes sense is someone they would Target is Otto Porter but again with Oto Porter the question is how healthy so those those are the four names I would watch also um they’re releasing RJ Hampton from his two-way I think they’re going to probably promote alandis Williams to

That he’s been tearing it up with skyforce and I think there’s some concern that he might get poached uh but another option is buay who they um they like a lot of things about him but there’s some things they want to coach out of him and I think they’ve done some

Good they brought him back after Portland briefly had him actually uh and they like him so um they may they may Elevate one of those guys to a roster spot or they might just give Jamal Kane um the um you know the standard contract

As well but I I I think those of the buyout guys those are the four guys I would watch and I would watch ginari I I just too much smoke around that for the past few Years
