I mean objectively they could’ve pretty much had any player that was available for trade this off season and ended up doing absolutely nothing I don’t understand what was Pat Riley’s thought process genuinely

      Herro and 1sts could have 100% acquired something.

      They just went all in and held steady on Dame, believing he would ultimately force his way to Miami.

      Yeah, we’ve gone way too far on “the Heat don’t have any assets” narrative.

      2 youngsters picked in the 1st in the last 2 drafts, 2 or 3 firsts (OKC would have absolutely nothing to lose in unprotecting the pick they’re owed, so they can reach 3 firsts to offer very easily) + a very good 23 year old 20 ppg scorer who’s improved substantially every year he’s been in the league isn’t the same as not having assets.

      Sure, we’re far from OKC in terms of assets or anything like that, but we’re also no quite the Suns.

        2 youngers picked in the first round

        Draft picks are kinda like cars tho. They lose their value fast when they leave the lot/draft.

        Only exception is when they play well
