Winslow is actually good just can't stay healthy

[@SteelsammyFilms]

As a Heat fan I held out so much hope for Winslow. "If he can just get healthy, he's better at point guard...." The emergence of Nunn and Herro really killed his Heat career. That, and well just not being all that good.

[@goose0078]

Maybe i'm wrong, but, I think it has to do with Winslow still being a potentially solid starter himself. I was really high on the idea of point Winslow. Defensively I think it's a hell of prospect.

I remember we were 11-30 halfway into the season. Pat was even sending scouts to check out Jayson Tatum and Lonzo Ball. I actually remember Pat liking Ball as a prospect too. We proceeded to go super nova and finish 30-11. Guys like Waiters, JJ, TJ, JRich, and Ellington really stepped up. We ended exactly in the spot to get Bam. Can i just say that some FO’s in the league let Mitchell and Bam fall to the end of the lottery?

[@danielvasquez3758]

Man I remember those days when we actually had to fight in our division and barely making the playoffs. Now the future is ours and we'll own it again for the years to come.

[@VonJay]

This team reminds me a little bit of the Van Gundy Heat Team before they traded for Shaq. They had a bright future together, and were adding pieces in Rasual Butler and Dorrell Wright. They Had Caron Butler, Wade, Brian Grand, Lamar Odom, Eddie Jones etc. I felt robbed when we got Shaq, would rather see Wade grow with that core than win a quick championship. Now I’m really loving this new core of players. Everyone does their fucking job man, it’s beautiful. Picking up Crowder and Andre was masterful man because I really wasn’t feeling winslow either.

[@rajmandalam6506]

Yeah but at the end of the day, the superstars win the chips in this league and if you are a big market team like the Lakers, who will never have the patience of drafting and developing a champion, you have the luxury of buying superstars off of the market or from other teams.

[@Clips_36]

@@rajmandalam6506 hands down, front office can't win championships only players, but that's my point theres certain teams that struggle throughout the years drafting, trading, scouting players to one day compete for a championship and it's a beautiful thing to watch. Teams like Toronto, Boston, Miami, Dallas, Denver, Utah, OKC, Pelicans, Milwaukee are always great clubs to watch because they have bright futures. The Lakers will forever buy there squad because they're a high market team and just don't have the time which is sad but it is what it is

[@duanedoldrum7570]

Look at Mario Chalmers, Norris Cole, Hassan Whiteside, Tyler Johnson, Dion Waiters, Josh Richardson, Derrick Jones Jr, Duncan Robinson, Kendrick Nunn, etc. These guys were non-known prospects. But somehow the Miami Heat were able to maximize on utilizing them. The Heat has something that most teams don't have, which is an actually damn good system. An entire system from management, to staff, to the players. Aside from that is the mindset and culture of the entire franchise of being always in a win-now mode, never tank, and to always always work hard. The culture builds up and it translates to games. Compare it to the other teams who purposely lose games and tank for draft picks, a different kind of culture builds up in which to them losing is "okay". That's why you have teams like the Wizards, 76ers, Timberwolves, who doesn't seem to get over the hump. They don't have that same discipline and approach to the game of actually wanting to win and they have these players that only play the game for the shoes, the guccis, and cars, and that's fine for them. While the Heat don't take players for their talent, but for their toughness, their willingness to work hard, and the mindset to win. They have a team who mind you might not be the most talented but they're indeed full of dogs. Take note, the Miami Heat perhaps has the most strict coaching staff today and if you don't work hard and follow their guidance then you're just not fit for them. In order to be successful in the league, you just don't need talent, or a good coach. It all starts from the franchise, its system, and the culture it builds that even if your team just sucks, always work hard, and always try to win no matter what.
