Which starting lineup do you want? (credit: @HeatvsHaters)

Definitely A or B for me tbh
Bam , Ware, Wiggins and Herro are a lock. Mitchell is my best guess as the fifth starter.
I like B, its the best balance of offense and defense. Davion can bring up the ball and defend the best perimeter player. Herro and Powell can focus on scoring. Allowing Wiggins and Bam to play their two-way games. I know most people prefer to keep Ware as a starter but this could bolster our bench with Jovic, Ware, and Rozier off the bench.
I imagine we will get all of these at one point or another next season.
D : Mitchell, Herro, Bam, Jovic and Ware
None of the above. It’s Mitchell Herro Powell Bam Ware.
Don’t care cause at the end of the day it’s all gonna play out
For the last 3 years the Heat have had the most different starting lineups in the NBA. I have 0 reason to believe that will change this year
Heat deal with injuries and Spo likes to use the regular season to experiment to see what works and doesn’t work
D.
Mitchell, herro, Wiggins, bam, and ware
Has to be A
A enough spacing and defense around herro and bam,also bam finally plays natural at the 4,Powell and Wiggins would be relentless in transition too,long(pause) athletic big.
A. But ware and bam shares 5 spot since we are thin on that position.
C but with Ware
Can’t go wrong with any, I just wish we had another true point guard because a 2nd unit of Mitchell Powell and Jokic would be the best in the league
B
There’s no backup big so just let Ware come off the bench. Davion being out there ensures you have POA defender. Powell takes pressure off Herro
E Mitchell Herro Powell Bam Ware
A
Mitchell, Herro, Powell, Bam, Ware
Nico and Wiggins off the bench
C or possibly Mitchell, Herro, Wiggins, Jovic, Bam if we want more point of attack defense next to Herro and more scoring punch off the bench with Powell.
I think Ware needs to come off the bench this season. He hasn’t been dominant enough rebounding and protecting the rim as a true center to make him the undeniable starter and we don’t have a backup center on the roster. I’m also more interested to find out where Jovic can get to this season as a starter without Rozier in the lineup. Entering his 4th season I think we need to see if he can take a leap. The organization has been very high on his potential and value. It’s time to sink or swim. I really like the versatility he could give us offensive as a playmaker/spacer while still providing decent positional size and his Europe play this summer has been promising. Contrarily we have more time to develop/assess Ware and coming off the bench might keep him hungry.
I think we see Herro, Powell, Wiggins, Bam, Ware to start the year with Niko as the 6th man
PG Jaquez SG Herro SF Powell PF Bam C Vucevic
A or C. Probably C
C. Ware is very overrated and there’s no backup center. I know it well upset Bam but it’s just what it is.
Whichever would lose the absolute most.
We should try B, A’s not horrible but the lack of playmaking is a serious concern. I feel like one of herro or powell can’t really start without us being significantly exposed there.
I’m going to say B, but I almost said A. Davion in the second unit gives me the goosies.
Davion , herro , wiggins , bam , ware
I want ware at center, Bam at PF, Herro at SG. But since we probably don’t have the true pg to make that flow as smoothly as possible then option one.
A.
Niko = 6MOTY
C would be best for the team IMO. Having Ware backing up Bam at center solves the backup issue. We still need more depth, but it helps in the short term. Starting Jovic also allows there to be another playmaker on the floor. You need that if you’re playing a lineup of Herro/Powell/Wiggins/Bam. Ware will get his minutes whether he starts or not. It should be more about balancing lineups than anything else.
Jovic and Ware both starting would be my preference. We really need to trade Wiggins for a pick and a backup Big. I want to see Jovic at the 3 along with both Ware and Bam. Unfortunately they are not going to bring Wiggins off the bench. It would hurt his trade value. I also doubt Powell comes off the bench. They are going to choose one of the young guys, so it’s up to Jovic and Ware to battle it out in camp.
Without a backup C I don’t see a situation where Ware starts. It’s too risky to let him get early fouls.
In most cases I see Davion off the bench also. We lack experienced defense and ball handling on the bench, he provides both.
So…
Herro, Powell, Wiggins, Jovic, Bam
A
Aye, aye, aye! A lol
Davion Tyler Niko Bam Ware but it wont happen.
We dont have a backup center if that line starts
