This draft sucked. I like Ware but eh, ion if he's gonna be the guy, maybe he could be load bearing guy when Bam is tired. I really wanted Topic, that guy feels special, plus, it looked like he wasn't too happy being drafted by the thunders lol
Like bro averaged 5 ppg in college on bad efficiency AND had a near death. We got too many jits on this sub cause aint no way they think a) we getting bron and b) we are enemies with Klutch, why antagonize them unnecessarily?
Heat fans on twitter think a late second rounder is gonna get minutes this szn because the FO is gonna move Duncan 💀 heat fans gotta accept reality that we’re running it back
You just cry about it on the sub everyday and tell people to “accept reality” as if it’s a foregone conclusion and you’re the only sane one who can see the future. So if it doesn’t turn out to be “reality” are you going to publicly say you were wrong as fuck or are you just gunna pretend you weren’t saying this shit all off-season with your chest?
I quite literally haven’t told anyone to accept reality, until the comment I just did, and that was me just quoting Barry Jackson lmfao. All I’ve ever said was that I think we’re gonna run it back once again and rely on health and internal development. If I’m wrong and they make a move that makes sense, I’d be ecstatic. We’re in a Reddit sports community, I don’t have to apologize for shit when we’re all spitballing and discussing what our favorite team should do LOL
Thats not true. Lebron tweeted that he was the best guard in the draft. He probably meant it. Heat could do whatever they wanted. Lebron didn’t “make” them do anything.
And he’s going to Suns apparently? I can’t track this one because it says Trailblazers but sounds like it’s a pick OKC traded to NY who is now trading it to Phoenix.
2nd round is fucking crazy lmao
Would anyone be mad if the Heat took Bronny with their second round pick? I honestly wouldn’t mind it. Not that I think LeBron is coming back but I think Spo could do him wonders. Half joking, half not.
Edit: LOL. fine guys. Bad idea…
Considering Klutch is going around telling non-Lakers teams to not draft him I would be upset they took a stupid risk to piss off Klutch, a highly influential agency operating in the league, who they already don't have a good relationship with.
Beyond that I don't care unless it turns out with the benefit of hindsight that there was a better pick available. Second round is a wash anyway and if Heat thought they could get something out of Bronny then that's their prerogative.
Not the best move when you know the current roster is on a timer, don't have the three years (or longer, if ever) for Bronny to become a functional starter, not to mention he might not even want to be drafted in the second round according to reports
Every single one of those dudes played better in college than Bronny though.
Plus I'd probably rage quit this sub after seeing some variation of "Now that we have his son, what are the chances Lebron comes to Miami" get posted one million times lol
we probably going wings here, based on the espn mini blurbs rn, Ingram would probably be instant bench impact for us, a better caleb martin if you will but with better dribbling and passing
Is the first one supposed to be a hot take? They were a play in team bro, as currently constructed who they beating? Let me guess the Celtics right? Since they got lucky?
Second one not true but funny. Out the league is harsh, just to the pistons or Cavs
here's every player the heat worked out that didn't get picked in R1 (this only includes players ranked up to 70 on their big board, unranked players are almost certainly going to be UDFAs)
- Tyler Smith (19, 6'9 wing, body for defense but a mind that doesn't care about anything but offense)
- Adem Bona (21, 6'8 wing, 2-way interior big with no real perimeter game/FT line prowess)
- Keshad Johnson (23, 6'6 wing, great defender/screener/PnR roll man but can't shoot)
- Tristen Newton (23, 6'3 guard, all 3&D, some passing, can't do shit on the inside)
- Zyon Pullin (23, 6'4 guard, crazy passer, great defender, has basically zero offensive game otherwise)
personally, considering the Heat literally do not have a true PG on the roster outside of Delon Wright, i'd be willing to take the flyer on Zyon Pullin. play him next to Terry, Duncan, Jovic and Ware and let them go nuclear off-ball because he's more-than-capable of finding the opportunities in a defense and let his own offensive game sort itself out over time
We don't need a true PG when half the roster can ball handle. The issue is lack of consistent scoring and size. Celtics didnt have a true point and won it all with size and shooting. Probably think we go for a wing thats 3 and D and ready off the bench.
I thought we got Djuricic
We got solid picks with great motors
This draft sucked. I like Ware but eh, ion if he's gonna be the guy, maybe he could be load bearing guy when Bam is tired. I really wanted Topic, that guy feels special, plus, it looked like he wasn't too happy being drafted by the thunders lol
Just stop. Topic has two ACL tears, isnt a scorer, and we on a Jimmy one year.
Shocker man, who could’ve expected the Lakers to select Bronny James
I lowkey wanted bronny…
This “nepotism is actually really great” narrative from ESPN is fun.
media is full of nepotism I'm not surprised
The Bronny dickriding has been insane
This panel has none stop been talking about him the whole time, shit is crazy
Like bro averaged 5 ppg in college on bad efficiency AND had a near death. We got too many jits on this sub cause aint no way they think a) we getting bron and b) we are enemies with Klutch, why antagonize them unnecessarily?
it's actually hilarious how they tried to hype him up so much while ignoring the reality of his stats
Not a fan of this pick. Nikola or Ingram would have been better in my opinion. The cash couldn't have been that much.
Did anyone else secretly want bronny?
Heat fans on twitter think a late second rounder is gonna get minutes this szn because the FO is gonna move Duncan 💀 heat fans gotta accept reality that we’re running it back
And if we don’t just run it back are you gunna apologize for crying about it everyday?
I’d be celebrating that our FO finally changed things up after 6 long years lmao. What would I have to apologize for?
You just cry about it on the sub everyday and tell people to “accept reality” as if it’s a foregone conclusion and you’re the only sane one who can see the future. So if it doesn’t turn out to be “reality” are you going to publicly say you were wrong as fuck or are you just gunna pretend you weren’t saying this shit all off-season with your chest?

Pelle Larsson's pro comparison is Christian Braun He was so annoying in the NBA Finals last year so maybe this is a good thing
The NBA Draft presentation is easily the worst of the big 4
Do we have Pelle with the 44th pick or does Sac?
Clippers changed their logo?
What the fuck? I had no idea
full rebrand
This is better and y'all need to stop with your obsession with Bronny
More proof espn hates the heat. I’m out cya
would have been happier w/ a Serbian Nicola
Metoo !
[удалено]
Soooo they cut to commercial break and an interview when our pick goes live??
Our pick was during a commercial Future MVP confirmed?
Who the fuck did we draft lol I am so confused. We trade the Serbian to Atl for cash? Pelle? Who? What? When? Someone please explain.
Went a pick back for cash and selected Pelle, Nikola goes to Hawks
we didn't even get any actual capital back for trading back I'm sick
You’ll never know. Because we need SAS and the ESPN cronies to have a full E:60 interview with a guy drafted *yesterday* over actual draft analysis
They better have given us like 50m for trading down
Well damn, our actual pick was a commercial break. MVP confirmed
Niko thought he was going to Miami nope he's going to Georgia sorry fam
Wait they didnt show pick 44?
Its insane this got its own day Just teams flipping picks that won’t ever pan out and getting cash lmao.
Yeah I’m not into the two day but it makes sense to let teams work out the flips a bit more I guess
???????
What about that is hard to grasp? Second round doesn’t need its own day.
We so we trade our pick for cash?
We traded a pick back for cash, yeah
So we don't have anyone in the second round just cash? We didn't switch picks? Just cash only??
We switched with the very next pick and took Pelle Larsson AND got cash
Nice, he's a senior and can shoot. Duncan's time is up.
Eh maybe, though we need all the shooting we can get regardless
Aw man I wanted that guy he looked good. Sneaky athletic...:(
Sure I’ll take it
Wtf would we trade down for cash, sorry Niko
This is better anyways i don't understand why everyone is so obsessed with Bronny
They probably thinking it will bring lebron back.
6’5”/6” wing who can shoot the 3 decently
And has a decent ratio of playmaking
Yeah basically a 2:1 assist:turnover
Hopefully it’s some decent undrafted talent we can scoop up too
Larson. Our replacement for Caleb.
[удалено]
nope, going to Atlanta :(
Pelle? Let me check out some vids
There's the typical Heat pick lol. A senior who can shoot and possibly turn into into a decent role player.
Traded to hawks
Didn't we trade Djurisic for Larsson?
I'm talking about Pelle Larsson, not Nikola Djurisic.
bro wtf is going on
Wait can we keep him
Damn, this guy won me over at the combine, wouldn’t have hated it.
huh wait huh?
Who the fuck is that
Another classy Heat guy
He's going to the Hawks so its a little weird seeing him in a Heat hat
so we have the 45th pick right? I am said he is super athletic for a Serbian. Shame.
[удалено]
He’s traded to Atlanta, next guy is ours
Wtf why and for who?
we have 45th pick now, I got excited too :(
Dammn
Heat got their white guy 🙏
PELLE LARSSON I KNEW IT
Who tf is Pelle Larsson
Pelle Larsson (??? Only because honestly I don’t know anyone at this point)
Hes a wing
ESPN had him as a G in college but yeah looks like a 6’6” wing
Headed to atlanta?!
Who gave us the next pick and cash
Bruhhh
I wanted Bronny but oh well
Damn Jovic out here tampering lol. Wait can we keep him
Niko ___ic staying at 1 I guess
BRONNNYYY DO IT.
BRONNY
No Niko duo no more
WAIT NVM
We picked Nikola Durisic but traded him to Atlanta so now we're picking 44.
for Trae Young right?
TRADED TO ATLANTA
WE GOT OUR NIKOLA
Pick is in and hasn’t leaked from what I can see
Adem Bona gonna give us problems fuck Philly 1000 times, we gave them Maxey they could atleast let us get Bona.
BROONNYYY DO IT
Idek at this point but whoever it is we’ll make em a weapon
Turning off Reddit now, so no spoilers, see you guys after the pick
BRONNY
Then send him to the G League for 3 years lol. Thanks LBJ!
our turn, think we go Barnes here
Alright here we go
The Charlotte Hornets select… KJ SIMPSON!!!!!!!
Guys we’re so close to witnessing history, the 43rd pick
Gimme Shead
Bona to sixers. Damn that actuaally helps em
Ah I wanted Bona before but with Ware round 1 we didn’t need him. Having another UCLA guy with Love and Jaime would’ve been cool tho
FUCK U PHILLY COPY CAT MFS
Fuck Philly…. They select Adem Bona
I wanted him but once we picked Ware I figured we wouldn’t go for him anyways, hate that that’s where he went tho lol
Who we got
Stephen A Smith is so cringe lmaoooo
We’re gonna take bronny to fuck with klutch and I’m here for it
Never forget Lebron made Pat draft Shabazz Napier when he knew the whole time he was leaving.
Thats not true. Lebron tweeted that he was the best guard in the draft. He probably meant it. Heat could do whatever they wanted. Lebron didn’t “make” them do anything.
Would be a waste of a pick but if they cut to the Heat draft room and it’s Riley laughing maniacally I honestly would accept it
I could see the heat honestly not wanting to pay any of these guys anyway when they can pay guys even less in the third round
Shead, Spencer or Cam Christie
gimme bronny idgaf
Guys 43 is so close, I’m ready for that future hall of famer
Jimmy said how father prime is catching up makes me sad, hope it just means he's nicely asking for more help
I overslept but I'm glad I seen 37 through 41 so far
Pick is going to be Ingram imo
Only thing I dislike about him is he's slow
Fuck Joe Cronin 🖕🏽… the Blazers select….. Osasere Ighodaro
And he’s going to Suns apparently? I can’t track this one because it says Trailblazers but sounds like it’s a pick OKC traded to NY who is now trading it to Phoenix. 2nd round is fucking crazy lmao
This shit is all over the place man
Just get me an experienced point guard at this point or a defensive wing.
Pls don't take Bona, Shead or Newton only at 43 pls
‼️
Ahh, Jaylen Wells. I liked him at Wazzu.
Grizzlies select… JAYLEN WELLS!!!!
We about to trade this pick for cash watch
Cash considerations is an amazing player he’s played all over
That’s my cousin spam
-Mickey Arison
43 is coming up soon, I’m so nervous guys
[удалено]
They picked him for OKC, he’s going to thunder
I missed that
Fuck. He may see playing time cause they need another shot creator as I warned.
Would anyone be mad if the Heat took Bronny with their second round pick? I honestly wouldn’t mind it. Not that I think LeBron is coming back but I think Spo could do him wonders. Half joking, half not. Edit: LOL. fine guys. Bad idea…
He is not an NBA level player. It’s players who put up better numbers and better all around than Bronny who don’t make it or last long in the league.
Bronny scored like 3ppg on USC and has legit heart issues
Considering Klutch is going around telling non-Lakers teams to not draft him I would be upset they took a stupid risk to piss off Klutch, a highly influential agency operating in the league, who they already don't have a good relationship with. Beyond that I don't care unless it turns out with the benefit of hindsight that there was a better pick available. Second round is a wash anyway and if Heat thought they could get something out of Bronny then that's their prerogative.
Not the best move when you know the current roster is on a timer, don't have the three years (or longer, if ever) for Bronny to become a functional starter, not to mention he might not even want to be drafted in the second round according to reports
Yes. Dude isn't good
Nah, I know but people doubted Nunn, Whiteside, Tyler Johnson and those guys. I just want to see what Spo could do but yeah, I know. Not a smart pick.
Every single one of those dudes played better in college than Bronny though. Plus I'd probably rage quit this sub after seeing some variation of "Now that we have his son, what are the chances Lebron comes to Miami" get posted one million times lol
The Minnesota Timberwolves select…. BOBI KLINTMAN!!!!!
Traded to the Pistons
wolves with backup big help incase KAT goes stupid again lol
Pick going to Detroit
who's everyone hoping for? I'm on a Cam Spencer bandwagon
Personally I just want a more college veteran guard
The Indiana Pacers select… JUAN NÙŇEZ!!!!!!
Guys…it’s happening
The San Antonio Spurs select… JOHNNY FURPHY!!!!
no kolek? let’s get bronny for shits and giggles
Welp Kolek off the board
I liked him, but if we drafted him at 15th I would have lost my mind.
I don't think he was ever considered at 15
Blazers select Tyler Kolek
Tyler smith to bucks, desperation cause we know Doc aint gonna play him.
Tyler Smith says he looks up to Chris Bosh
The dreaded Milwaukee Bucks select… Tyler Smith… 😒
Bro aint gonna get played cause we know Doc an idiot
I like Kevin McCullar Jr, definitely has shooting concerns but I like his defensive upside
The Utah Jazz select… KYLE FILIPOWSKI!!!!!!
oh lord, and considering the stuff that just came out earlier about behind the scenes stuff, this just adds to it.
They had Karl Malone so they’re no stranger to this
Just did a tremendous amount of research (5 mins) and I like Cameron Christie. 6’5 with. 6’8 wingspan, shot 39% from 3 on 5 attempts And Ingram
The Toronto Raptors select….. JONATHAN MOGBO!!!!!!
I like that pick ngl, thats a steal
Alright guys here we go
we probably going wings here, based on the espn mini blurbs rn, Ingram would probably be instant bench impact for us, a better caleb martin if you will but with better dribbling and passing
ugh stop dicksucking the nuggets, they got lucky and their team is falling apart + their gm kinda an idiot lie their coach
They got lucky? They were beating us with or without Herro
Every team or player is lucky or overrated to bro 😭
And you think the heat aint beating no one + want Herro to be out the league.
Is the first one supposed to be a hot take? They were a play in team bro, as currently constructed who they beating? Let me guess the Celtics right? Since they got lucky? Second one not true but funny. Out the league is harsh, just to the pistons or Cavs

DW is a free agent so we don’t have him either officially
We don't need a true PG when half the roster can ball handle. The issue is lack of consistent scoring and size. Celtics didnt have a true point and won it all with size and shooting. Probably think we go for a wing thats 3 and D and ready off the bench.
