Because we remember what he did to Han. Never forget.🕯 Also a lot of people don't watch college ball and have no idea who any of these players are (myself inclueded), so they base who they want to draft on things like mock drafts and see a guy like Whitmore, who some people think could've gone in the top 10, fall to us. Can't wait to see how he turns out. I got a good feeling about him.

I am over Dame. He wants to play drama queen and play both sides. I'm talking to Paul George in Los Angeles. With his health concerns being a risk, it will be cheaper to grab him and have him adjust to how Miami does things. Send Herro, Lowry, Robinson, Oladipo, and some picks to the Clippers.

Honestly, energy alone isn't gonna make a difference in the paint vs Guys like Jokic and Embiid. WE ARE TOO SMALL in the paint, ever since we traded Whiteside. I'm not angry at this pick, but if Bam couldn't affect Jokic shot, literally everytime Joker caught the ball in the paint you knew it was going in. No challengers down low. This guy is listed at 6'7 I'm not sure he's what we're looking for. Once AGAIN, Bam needs help and Jovic ain't ready!!

Not after that Pat Riley intro with his entire family at the press conference. Also it's someone Portland doesn't need and his salary is too low to send out. It will probably be Herro and Lowry plus 2-3 1st round picks to make the numbers work. Also don't forget that Portland has made all the right comments that they want Dame to only play for Portland and they kept him and his entourage in the loop during the entire draft process and he gave his approval on the #3 pick. The new CBA is downright brutal on the punitive luxury tax in 2024-25. Don't be surprised if this is the Miami Heat team you'll see in 2023-24 and not resigning Vincent and Strus.
