Assuming we keep it (unlikely), I think at least one of Philon, Carr, Ament, Steinbach, or Lendeborg will be likely available for us to select. I think all 5 of those guys would have a real shot at blossoming into something special in our system, similar to the way Bam and Tyler have grown.

1. Aday Mara

2. Labaron Philon

3. Cameron Carr

4. Dailyn Swain

5. Morez Johnson Jr

On Sunday, the South Florida Sails — a professional fishing team owned by the former Sixers point guard — dominated the 2026 Sports Fishing Championships Walker’s Cay Open in The Bahamas. The Sails caught six blue marlin and three sailfish, good for 2,925 points. The second place New Jersey Sea Birds mustered just 1,450 points.

Simmons, who is currently a free agent and has not retired from basketball, was reportedly offered a veteran minimum contract with the New York Knicks this past offseason but turned it down.

“There’s a lot of things happening. I think for myself, I got to the point where I just wasn’t in a place physically yet to get back on the court and play to what I want to be able to give to the game,” Simmons told Andscape in December. “And obviously, you want to go back and get on the team, and that’s the focus.”

Really hope they've got Temu Wemby in a film room with his lids pried open.

Are there any aspects of Wembys game Kelel could try and copy?

We need to blow this team up. Going all-in on Giannis is a dangerous move that would cost us every young prospect and draft pick we have.

If we fail, or if Giannis gets career-altering injury.

we will have to be stuck in the basement for five years watching teams like OKC and the Spurs thrive while our heats rot in the play-in tournament. Look at the Lakers' post-bubble struggle—that’s our future if we don't play it smart.

We need to sell high. Bam and Herro are exactly the kind of key cores that wanna-be contending teams like the Raptors, Hawks, or Pistons would overpay for.

Trade our players for multiple packages of veterans who have big contract that will expire within next 3 years and first round picks. We should hoard picks and develop our own Giannis or Jokic with load of picks through the draft rather than chasing a declining window and risking ourselves another dark era.

Heat Culture shouldn't be about an "addiction to gambling", that we see from the Knicks or Nets. Let’s stop being "Play-in NPCs" and start building a real dynasty. If it takes three to five years of grinding to secure the next decade of dominance, it's a move we have to make. Sacrifice has to be made. TAKE THE RED PILL.

Watching teams like OKC, San Antonio, and Boston just irritates me with how our FO insists on building the team. That obsession with g league players during the Jimmy era was insane and constantly waiting for superstars to ask out is a ridiculous way to run a franchise. It would be nice if they actually believed in drafting talent like OKC/San Antonio or building a good team like Boston. We are about to trade all of our picks and players for one guy that is injury prone and depends on athleticism. I now understand why the East is so weak, Brad Stevens is the only GM that knows how to put together a decent team and manage assets. For a team that loves waiting on disgruntled stars Miami has done a piss poor job with asset management. I hope we don’t trade our picks for 2026 and give away the rest of our future picks for one player

I still remember how hopeful we were after that run. We even had a chance to land Dame since he wanted to come here.

The problem was the Blazers didn’t want to budge on the trade because they weren’t satisfied with JJJ and the rest of the package.

Because of that Heat run, the Celtics decided to completely rebuild their roster to counter Miami’s zone defense, which led to them adding Pingus Tingus. That eventually helped them win the championship in 2024.

Meanwhile, the Blazers, the same team we battled with in trade talks, now have promising young stars to rebuild around and are already competing in the playoffs.

Now the Heat feel stuck living in the past. Too mediocre to tank, but not good enough to truly contend.

A lot of our former players are thriving on other teams and finding success, while the Heat got left behind.

Spo is still a great coach, but people are definitely gonna question his legacy since most of his rings came with LeBron.

One of the best games I’ve ever seen and Wemby is a once in a lifetime talent. Also watching both teams showed me how far we are from doing a damn thing😭

I’ve seen these two mocked the most out of any prospect. I personally like the skill sets both have shown already

I know they have some concerns but they’re not fixed products! I recall reading somewhere that the big weaknesses going into the Kas draft was 3pt shooting and defense…

Anyways what would you guys pick between these two, or someone else?
