2. Do us a solid, Riles

3. Go get him Rob! Just find a way to keep Rui, so we improve our defense and bench with the addition of Wiggins

4. I think at the deadline we will get him

5. Fuck it, just trade for Wiggins, Bam, and Herro

6. If we can keep Rui while acquiring Wiggins. We’re title contenders idgaf

7. Can we leverage Pat Riley’s statue in negotiations?

8. The Heat won’t do this without wanting Rui or our 1st round pick

   It’s a lost cause

9. Would they do Knecht, Vando, Kleber and a first? Cause that would be great for us.

10. Just so everyone knows, the next paragraph says the Heat have no desire to trade Wiggins. I don’t think this Siegel guy knows anything anyways.

11. We love former lottery picks around here lol

    But I’m also still traumatized by former Miami players taking med leaves here sigh

12. Damn we trying to execute Rob? lol

13. this is dead. Pelinka doesn’t operate in the open.

14. Go for Herb instead. Riley prob wants rui + the frp for Wiggens.

    🤔

16. Herro’s out for a couple months most likely they might as well take another version of him

17. So we are looking to overpay for another Heat player who isn’t very good AGAIN!

18. Can someone explain how we make this work financially without Rui? Both teams are hard capped at the 1st apron

19. The Lakers should just wait and see if the league punishes the Clippers. If they don’t, then we can offer Giannis or Jokic 700 million deferred like the Dodgers gave Ohtani.

20. Vincent/Kleber/Knecht will work salary wise.

21. I see you Rob and Jeanie. Making that statue for Pat to sweeten the pot.

22. Ok, so there’s a bit more flame to the fire now. We’re seeing more reports pop up from different outlets.

    I imagine that a deal gets done before preseason starts.

23. Vando…thank you and good luck !
