Heat did not make trade before deadline. They have flexibility with 2 open roster spots and exception money to be active in buyout market, which is their intention.

LOL all we did this deadline was spend one SRP just to offload Dedmon’s 5M that he shouldn’t even have gotten in the first place. And meanwhile quality players getting traded for multiple SRPs. Our last new player acquisition is STILL Markieff Morris in Aug 2021.
Fuck this bullshit.
I have no words
failure of a year
Barry Bomb
We got football next season boys
For fucks sake man
Incoming Westbrook buyout to fix our height and shooting problems 🔥🔥🔥
Boycott the product
Roster Spots lmao. One of which has been open ALL YEAR
We are going to let one of Gabe or Strus walk BTW(maybe both), so prepare to lose another player for nothing and watch our competitors leave us behind even more.
This is sick
Joke of a team and this what we’re gonna be seeing real soon

To get who?
There it is. I love how it was such a process to get out of that hole we were in with the Dion, Tyler, JJ, and Whiteside contracts just for us jump right back in the hole with more terrible contracts. Our outlook is looking bleak once again.
Micky Arison is so fucking cheap, making us trade away a 2nd for dedmon when 2nd round picks net players like Bamba
Crazy how much Wade carried this franchise while he was here and got Butler to join us. Post Butler era? Not sure where we go to support Bam and Herro.
This front office is cooked bruh
Horrible. What a waste of a season
Pat Riley really did get carried by d wade
if you all are curious like I was, Spotrac has a nice explainer of the potential buyout market this season: [https://www.spotrac.com/news/2023-nba-buyout-market-1783/](https://www.spotrac.com/news/2023-nba-buyout-market-1783/)
Great we can strikeout there too
The apathy 😞
UNREAL. Buyout literally is trash and always will be. Its buyout for a reason. We have a serious hole in the starting lineup not some backup minutes to be filled for 5 10 mins a game.
I don’t get it. You really see that superstar performance by Bam last night and Jimmy in the Finals and last year and you still aren’t motivated to help them? I really just don’t get what’s going on. This team has so much potential and is now counting on Westbrook/Wall/Pat Bev and a returning Yurtseven to make a push? This whale hunting needs to stop. We got our superstars in Jimmy and now Bam. Fuck this.
godfather does it again wow
It’s not even a failed trade deadline…
It has been a failed multiple years — Pat and Heat has mismanaged our assets, given out terrible contracts so they were simply left with shitty contracts and not enough good picks/available players to do anything today.
Dude it’s all guards in the buyout
I thought it was just gonna be a meme, they actually did nothing
This is such a mess lmao
Can’t believe if we didn’t try to make moves to win we wouldn’t trade Max for multiple seconds. That would’ve at least helped us get off of Lowry or Duncan next year and use their cap space on a guy who could help
what a fucking waste.
I hate it here
Riley is so fucking washed lmao. I don’t want to hear bullshit excuses from anyone in this sub anymore. Another wasted year. Should just trade Jimmy. He is too good for this crap
We couldn’t even trade Lowry or Duncant away smh
laker fan coming in peace. Jimmy deserves so much better, y’all gotta do something about Pat Riley
I better not see a single person meat munching for this front office
So it’s a wasted season of Jimmy’s prime then huh.
Too good to tank and get a superstar, not good enough to win a title, too many bad contracts to make inpact trades for stars or sign role players to round out the team
I fear this will go on for several years
Imagine saying this after the deadline. After a summer with NOTHING, the idea was to make a move now. What’s the excuse? Other teams give up second rounders for impact players and we have to use them to offload terrible contracts to players THAT NOBODY WANTS.
Riley still trying to sell culture, hate to break it to you Riles, but players can now win and have fun while doing so. Nobody wants to go on stupid diets, have 1% body fat, and run through a million screens in practice. The most boring offense in the league and they didn’t make a move.
2 spots open for Orlando Robinson and Westbrook so the transplant pricks from the west coast have a name they can say when they pay $300 for a ticket. Fuck right off with this glass half full nonsense. It’s been an unmitigated disaster and this front office deserves criticism. Noting recent conference finals appearances or finals appearances DOESNT mean SHIT. Every team is trying to win now, haven’t won a ring in a decade because we give 20mil to players nobody wants because of HEAT CULTURE.
It’s a fucking circus and Riley and that FO the clowns blowing air horns and pedaling through shit to distract us from their incompetence
Actually embarrassing. No sense in talking about culture and shit when our org just wants to sit on its ass
I honestly believe this is more about CCL stock being in the tank than anything else. If I was in the owner’s situation, where my main business was trending towards bankruptcy I wouldn’t be looking to burn cash unless I was 100% sure it would make a contender.
Remember these guys inherited billions, they have no idea how to make it from scratch, and they’ve never been poor. The concept of losing their cash cow has got to have their cheeks puckered.
My understanding is the only (active trade)player they were willing to go into the tax for was Kevin Durant.
I don’t see anyone else out there that fixes this bottom 5 offense.
The bottom line is the only tradeable assets we have is Bam and maybe Jimmy. Jimmy is great but he’s going to be 34 next year. You can’t make chicken salad out of chicken —-.
I want to get better like everybody else but nobody wants Duncan and Kyle. I have a question. Kyle Korver was a shooter from the day he arrived in the NBA until the day he left. He was always around 400 from three, every single year
What the —- happened to Duncan?
People gonna continue to munch on FO meat while every other team in the league looks to improve and get better.
I hope the media trashes the fukk out of our FO after we get bounced out of the playoffs as “loomers”. We are one of the only teams who made NO moves to get better after getting beaten in the playoffs. We actively got WORSE then we were last year and made no real attempts to rectify it outside of passifying morons on the internet with “Wait till the off-seasn” then it was “Wait till the trade deadline” and now its “Let’s just ride out this season and support the boys because we gonna do something big NEXT off season”.
We looking more like the 2006 – 2009 Cavs then an organization that actually makes the most of their assets. We got to the finals on the strength of Dwade convincing Jimmy to come here and Jimmy forcing his way here then carrying the FO on his back like Lebron Fukkin James.
I won’t lie the moment we let Wade walk I stopped trusting the F.O
Bruh we have to watch Caleb at PF all year… at least try to tank or something idk looks like the best option.
Might as well add this. Wade was one of the main reasons Shaq, LeBron, and Jimmy came here.
Am hoping the heat miss the playoffs. Send a message to front office since we getting packed in the 1st round regardless. That way bleeping arison don’t get a cent from the playoffs purse
