What is your opinion of the miami heat season so far,its players and the future?  email this discussion to a friend?

jeb327 (6) 3 years ago

The miami heat season has been up and down so far, winning big and playing impressively on some nights then turn the opposite on some nights and play
bad and lackluster even against bad teams. Pat Riley has the team poised and
ready for the offseason freeagent bonanza where it has the chance to resign wade
plus add another max superstar in possibly lebron or bosh or amare and so many
other big names. And even before the off-season the trade deadline can be a chance
for the heat to get some value for some of its expiring contracts - ex. jermaine o'neal for amare stoudamire trade.

The Miami Heat has been inconsistent so far. With the exception of Dwyane Wade, there is no other bright spot for the Heat this season. Though Jermaine O'Neal and Michael Beasley are playing and contributing well, they still need a lot more to survive the East and against Eastern Conference giants Orlando, Cleveland, and Boston. With a good roster, I'm optimistic that the Heat can go far in the playoffs. Wade is a very extraordinary player who can carry the whole Miami team in his back as long as he's got the right teammates with him.

There are some rumors that Wade might not sign with the Heat this offseason and that is a big threat for Miami. However, such rumors are pretty normal because of the hype that the very star-studded 2010 free agency cast have. Nevertheless, Miami should do everything to keep Wade and bring in some better players. Chris Bosh is a good pick for next season but they have to unload some to free up some salary cap space. Carlos Boozer and Amare Stoudemire are decent picks too but I'm skeptical about Stoudemire on Miami because he needs somebody like Steve Nash to feed him constantly to utilize him fully. A big man is perfect for Miami to compensate for Wade and fill in for the aging and fragile O'Neal.

Not unless Miami makes a trade before the February trade deadline, I'm not optimistic about them making it past the first round. They badly need more tools to survive the playoffs.

Exciting fact for miami fans is that almost all players on its roster have expiring contracts this year. With miami probably declining james jones team option while picking up chalmers option for next year. Miami only has 8 million in salary for next year, 5 in beasley, 2 in cook and 1 in chalmers rounded up/down.

If they could attract and land 2 of those max superstars, re-sign haslem and see its options on other free agents available that would be left out without a contract, the team could compete instantly.

Maybe somewhere along the lines of a David Lee could be had after getting two max stars.

Yeah, David Lee is another excellent pick for the Heat but considering the Knicks' plans for the 2010 free agency and the way Lee's playing right now, I'm not really sure if D-Lee is heading somewhere after the 2009-2010 season.

First of all, I would agree with you, the Miami Heat - my favourite NBA team, is very inconsistent this season. Jermaine Oneal being one of the worst, another key player is Michael Beasley. Another big factor to their inconsistency is Mario Chalmers, he was a great PG for the Heat last year, doing very well defensively, but he's still young and seems to apparently crashed into the sophomore year wall. He is not performing as well as last year. The bench is another issue for the Heat, players like Dorell Wright, Daequan Cook, Quentin Richardson (starter) are also in and out of form. The only constant is Dwyane Wade, still putting up big numbers, but he needs help, quick.

Jermaine Oneal has been a dissadpointment for the Heat, he was brought here for inside presence, more rebounding, more defence. But he doesn't even average 8 rebounds a game, that's worse than Gerald Wallace, a Small Forward. Another thing is his offence, he's not getting a lot of points in the paint, and sometimes he just isn't scoring enough.

Beasley, he's still learning and improving, so we can't really blame him. But he still needs to improve on consistency, and scoring more efficiently. Hope he improves and plays well

Role players really need to step up, 2 time 3-pt champ Daequan Cook is not scoring at all, with some rare 20 pt performances. Q Rich is on fire for the last 2/3 games, making at least 4 3s for those games and scoring in double digits, lets cross out fingers and hope that he keeps scoring like this.

Another factor that can help the Miami Heat to improve would be the summer free agent market, if they can keep Dwyane Wade, and then get Chris Bosh or Amare, that will boost their chances of winning a Champ, also...get rid of O'Neal please!
