THIS IS CONCERNING ‼️ The Heat went 0-13 against the Celtics, Raptors, and Magic this season. ALL THREE failed to make the second round 😳 Miami’s got some serious work to do this offseason.

It’s never not a good day to show this Dwyane Wade euro-step.

We’re still two months away from free agency. But the Miami Heat must target Peyton Watson, a restricted free agent, this summer. @mph_824_ explains why! #HEATNation hothothoops.com/2026/05/01/why…

That’s not stopping me from doing the same (MLE) if I am the Heat

A free agent, but may I interest you in one Peyton Watson.

If Tyler Herro's tenure with the Miami Heat ends this summer, which three possible destinations would fit?! @mph_824_ opines below! #HEATNation hothothoops.com/2026/04/30/3-p…

What are the chances the Heat gets Giannis this offseason? Another clip from tomorrow's @5OTF_ with @flasportsbuzz

“It couldn’t be clearer than the light of day that they are not offering (Tyler) Herro an extension… the question is if Herro would be a good sport about it. Is he going to ask out? I would be surprised because I think he likes living here.” — Barry Jackson (h/t @HeatCulture13)

“Players still want to come here. Kevin Durant would’ve been perfectly fine coming here. He reached out to players on the Heat during that time… it was just the Heat didn’t want to give up Ware.” — Barry Jackson on Heat pursuing KD last summer (h/t @HeatCulture13)

Barry Jackson on the Heat this year: “The thing I blame the most for is faith that was unjustified in this roster. I would go to bed sometimes just in disbelief that smart, accomplished people could have thought this team was capable of anything.” “Don’t you think that a team that blows that many leads, has a fundamental flaw and the mix needs to change?” (via @5ReasonsSports, h/t @HeatvsHaters)

The Miami Heat potential trade package this summer for Giannis, per @flasportsbuzz - Kel’el Ware - Tyler Herro - 3 first round picks - 2 pick swaps - Any young player the Bucks want (ideally not both Larsson and Jaquez if possible) (Via open.spotify.com/episode/3OLkmO…)

Riles wasn’t gushing about Herro like usual in his presser a few days ago. Herro wants the extension and Riles made it clear Miami wants cap flexibility. Greg’s also reliable when it comes to Heat stuff. Writing is on the wall.

According to ESPN’s @BobbyMarks42, he predicts that Clippers’ superstar Kawhi Leonard will be traded to South Beach this offseason. @dan_riccio10 discusses more below! ✍️ hothothoops.com/2026/04/29/esp…
