I've read that we might have a deal:

PJ Washington to the Heat
Marcus Morris + Omer Yurtseven + 2nd Round Pick to Charlotte

I don't know if I like that but we need to get bigger and better on defense. This would do that. I have felt that we need to sell high on PJ cus we are definitely keeping Miles next year and giving him a big bag.

Marcus Morris is on the Clippers.

Markieff Morris is on the Heat and has been injured all season.  Assuming they meant Markieff.

Here’s an article from the past few minutes that confirms the interest.  And it has a Heat insider as a source.

I'm not a fan of any of those trade ideas. The Hornets still have a logjam at PF even without Washington. Trading NO's protected first, which should be higher than Miami's if it conveys, for Miami's doesn't seem that smart. Gutting the guard depth for Wood also doesn't seem like a smart move.

No chance that NO’s pick is higher. They’d have to manage to win two play in games and get it in over the likes of the Clippers and Lakers.

Hell no. Those look like a bunch of Rich Cho panic trades. We come out as losers in every one of those deals.

They only way Mitch is making a move is if it nets us a starting center.

PJ, Nick or Vern (Maybe McDaniels but we need him if we move PJ) a protected future first and a second for a guy like Jusuf Nurkic, (only if we plan to extend him) Christian Wood, or Richaun Holmes are the kind of deals Mitch should be after. No way I'm giving up Bouknight half a year into his rookie season. If a trade doesn't happen we can sign a guy like Mitchell Robinson or Nurkic in free agency without having to give up any assets. 

We have control of Lamelo for 3 more years after this season. No need to fug up and do something stupid at the deadline because you think he's going to leave. We're on the right track. Mitch just needs to continue to do what he's been doing. Our future is bright. 

You aren’t getting anything of quality without giving up quality. That’s been the story of this trade deadline. See Sacramento trading Haliburton and Hield for Sabonis.

The only way you do this trade is if Morris gets cleared. He’s been out for months and some in the Heat organization don’t even want to clear him.

We all know Mitch isn’t making some snap judgment trade right?  He has never done that and for good reason.  The Hornets aren’t there yet but another offseason could change things, no need to reach unless it benefits us next 2-3 years 

PJ Washington is a good young big who can step out and shoot lights out.  He definitely has serious worth in the right system.  Fug Miami I am slamming the phone down on that bullshet trade

He’s been suffering from whiplash.  Sabonis is hit him hard in the back/neck in October.  He’s been wanting to play the past month but Miami has been holding him back.

I like the Morris brothers a lot as “enforcers” at the PF position.  And a true 7’0 center in Yurt...I’ll take that deal.  We could use (need!) both.  I hope this deal happens.  (Note:  KZ was just traded earlier today so he won’t be in this possible deal).

Holy shet…this is lunacy.  Jesus.  Crazy shet.  Yurt is a “true center”.  LOL.  That guy is horrible.  Terrible.  Kai Jones is way better.  Why?  Damn…this better not happen

I meant it should be the earlier of the two picks. Even if NO makes the playoffs, Miami should go further and therefore have the later pick of the two.

You probably know as little about Yurt as I do...but look him up.  23 year old 7-footer and better rim protector and scorer than what we have (Plumlee).  

PJ Washington is not a star, nevermind a starter on the 9th place team.  

This is not a barn-burner trade, it’s a slight upgrade at C and maybe PF if Morris becomes available soon.  (This trade is still a rumor for the record).

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      Every team does it's homework. More so than any fan.  Brooks, had he not been injured, would have been a first round talent.  I have zero problems with the team (Dan Morgan and company) drafting Brooks in the 2nd.  He is a fantastic talent.  As far as risk, this is the NFL.  Any and every player is exposed to the same brutality that the NFL is.  Despite Brooks latest setback, it doesn't cost the team much.  Our running back room is stacked.  Could they have drafted someone else? Sure. No promise that someone else would have made an impact last year.  Or this year.   When it's your job to do what Dan does, I pray you get it all right. Lord knows that there isn't a single GM that gets it all right.

      If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.
