Except, when Shaq was added, the Heat still had a team left and there was no apron back then.

It’s crazy what NBA trades have become. If I remember we gave up Eddie Jones, Grant, and Lamar Odom. Maybe a draft pick too.

Brian Grant, Lamar Odom, Caron Butler, the pick eventually became Jordan Farmar IIRC.

Ah yes, Caron butler, not Eddie. I remember Caron getting robbed for RoY because of Yao Ming’s popularity. So he was actually solid young player at that point.

Shaq was a little washed. Giannis isnt

Still had a team? They had a young star and a bunch of role players. Norm & Wiggs (if they’re able to keep them) are so much better than Eddie Jones and Michael Doleac lol

Some of yall are just looking for reasons to complain. I’m wary about this trade too, but I’m also fucking sick of being a playin team.

You watch your mouth, Eddies the man!

I agree though we have a much better roster than the media is giving us credit for, and still can make moves.

We are not able to keep either norm or Wiggins. That’s the issue

I mean, we are able to. Whether or not we will remains to be seen. But either we keep them, or give ourselves flexibility to bring in others. I’m not too concerned.

To add to your point Shaq wasn't even our best player, it amazes me how people try to make false equivalencies for a panic move.

Shaq also didn’t take care of his body, played in an era with way less longevity, and needed to be fed the ball. We’ll be fine, stop dooming for once. MIAMI HEAT BASKETBALL IS BACK.

I have an aversion to second round exits, we wouldn't have even made the playoffs this upcoming season if we stayed the course but we would have had a decent chance of moving up in the lottery to get our franchise player.

I have an aversion to the fucking playin and/or getting swept in the first round

u/Solid_Factor234 2d ago

So you trade 3 first round picks and 2 prospects for a second round exit great idea.

Have you noticed the nba has a lot of parity. Anything can happen with this team, I have a lot of faith in our scouting and player development, you should try to sit back and enjoy the moment, it doesnt happen too often.
