Charles Barkley says this team has to start over. Thoughts?

1. I thought that too, but I guess we are winning the championship now.

2. Nah. The core isn’t the problem. Just need to refigure our depth and our philosophy of playing through streaky role players.

3. dude is known for having the most ignorant takes, he probably hasn’t seen one heat game this year. And of course the national media likes to mention Miami when they’re down

4. As someone in the comments of the post pointed out, Chuck sang a similar tune in ’06.

5. Yeah if you just ignore lineup data this makes sense. lmao

   Bench is the problem. Bench needs bodies that can actually contribute and be more versatile.

   Grizz game Dedmon was a -17 in 9 minutes. Who can win games when shit like that happens.

6. Gotta see where we’re at and what can be done before/at the deadline before you make any determinations like this. You only go ahead and do this if Jimmy officially asks out.

   Otherwise the core is still pretty good. Not favorites, but with the right complementary pieces could find themselves in play.

   The question is what can be done about the bench. When you don’t have a bona fide Top 5 player to carry you, you need a well rounded roster to be competitive. We had that in the bubble and last year. We don’t have that this year.

7. Need to sign good bench veterans instead of g league players. Players that can actually contribute and be cheap. Hassan whiteside, boogie, golden arm etc can all contribute for us

8. We’re not getting rid of Jimmy, Herro and Bam. Not yet. But literally everyone else can go and nobody should give a shit. Retool for next year.

9. I doubt this dude seen a single Heat game this season

10. What are your thoughts?

11. I know chuck is known for his shit takes but we really do suck this season.

12. – kyle lowry and ducans contracts are the problems hindering this team. pat fucked up bad again

13. We just need our big man to stay in the paint and grab boards 👏🏾. Someone needs to be cleaning up down there on both ends.

14. Tank for Wemba. Ain’t nothing wrong with that. It’s a cyclical process we can’t be on top the whole time.

15. Start over and do what lol this would make sense if Miami didn’t have any talent in which they do.

16. Yup.

    Charles is usually a blowhard, but i think he’s right on this one.

    Like the way Wannstedt literally ran the Dolphins into mediocrity-hell for many years, this “positionless” basketball team build has done the same to the Heat.

    We need more to this team than 25 SF’s.
