Heat Big 3 staying together

Seems that could be the plan. As a trio they can still be one of the more formidable partnerships in the league, however they need support. They need a true center and an upgrade at PG. Depending on the cuts the big three take, it is possible to upgrade those positions, while having the ability to put together a good bench.

That said, would Bosh be tempted to go to another team so he can be a main option, or at least play a bigger role than the number three option he is on the Heat? It is possible, would he consider here to pair up with Al?

Also, would LeBron see Cleveland as having a better starting line up at the minute with Iriving, Waiters and Wiggins as their main trio? It is possible he could bolt and join them. The Cavs have been tipped [again] to make a push for the 7th or 8th seed, with LeBron they could be a top four team in the East.

Overall they will probably stay together. But they have a lot of work to do to make sure it happens.

Melo is a huge possibility now that the big 3 all opted out. Also upon is haslem opted out. The heat have a record 55 million in cap room

It would be interesting to see if LeBron and Melo could work as a double act.

That cap space is going to make it an attractive landing spot for FAs. I wonder if the Heat will now try to sign LeBron to a max contract and keep the big three, with upgrades; or whether they will let Bosh and Wade go, and pursue other FAs to rebuild with?

The other thing, I wonder how the Heat fans would react if Bosh, LeBron and Wade walked in free agency, and they missed out on big name FAs to replace them? Worst case scenario they could end up tanking. Won't happen, but it would reveal how many of their fans stick by them...

I originally thought that there was a chance that they (James, Anthony, Wade, and Bosh) could form a big four but with James gearing up for a max, there is no way it could work unless Bosh and Wade each accept $10 mil a piece.

I'm expecting James to get a max and Bosh and Wade to get $15 per.

The issue with the big four would be that it doesn't fix any of their issues from last season. Bosh at center needs to change going forwards. If he stays he needs to slide back to his natural PF, and they need to find a C.

On paper Wade, Melo, LeBron, and Bosh gives them star and fire power to be a contender for sure. But it still leaves them with weaknesses that teams like the Spurs will exploit, and perhaps we and the Pacers could do as well with some more experience and upgrades.

Wade and Bosh should only come back at 10 mil a season or less. James looks like is wanting a max, but if I was him I'd go with the 17-20 type deal again. That way the heat can use some of that extra money on a legit center and a better bench.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.

      Moton is a class act.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
