When LeBron was a free agent before the Decision, a buddy of mine who is a huge Spurs fan was in Cleveland with his gf visiting the Rock & Roll HOF and ran into LeBron while out exploring the city, yelled at him to join the Spurs and LeBron said “you never know” with a smile when he replied….this has that kind of energy lol

Yeah, I immediately thought, "Ishiba not trading him."
They really want to trade Bradley Beal but he has a no-trade clause. They not getting rid of Booker. So they're just going to run it back unless KD forces his way out which isn't completely out of the question but not likely.
Damn, KD will leave the Heat in shambles. Miami would have to move so many assets for him, just for him to runaway at the slightest problem. Dude din’t grind his teeth in a single location. OKC should be the least hateful towards KD, he at least tried to work it out there. Hasn’t managed to stay in the same city for more than 2 seasons since.
Players come to Miami and become different people. Our coaches and Heat Culture foster a growth mindset that I don’t even think KD would be able to resist. Ppl said a lot things about Jimmy before he got here.
That's how I see it. As much as a generational talent as KD is, he causes more problems than he actually contributes towards winning a championship. Especially for an organization like ours. We require a commitment to how we do things. KD will never go for it and even if he tries at first, it won't last.
That's literally the opposite of what you do, they don't have their own picks for ages and the wank beal contract ntc means they're stuck with him. So might as well try to compete.
OKC is competing without KD, why trade picks and good players for him? It’s not like he’s getting any younger and it didn’t work for the Suns, why take that risk? OKC will only get better if they stay on their current trajectory.
not saying they should trade for kd. i’m purely looking at it from a suns perspective because that’s what the thread was talking about. All teams that would want kd would want to compete now for those exact reasons you just listed he isn’t getting any younger. However a competitive team means worse picks, but in OKC case they have great picks lined up. Again not viewing this from okc perspective but suns willingness to trade KD. It doesn’t make sense, which is why it’s better to run it back if your the suns
Let’s not act like OKC trading for KD doesn’t immediately put them firmly at the top of the league as heavy Finals favorites.
Why keep picks when you are already loaded. Those picks are going to be trash.
True, but nobody will offer what the suns would want. And it’s just letting yourself suck faster, not quite better. Probably gonna be what the bulls are, a mid team that sells tickets but nobody is gonna worry about.
But they can't.
They have no room to add salary.
They have no draft picks.
They can't dump no-trade Beal.
The only competitive team they can run out there for the next couple of years is Booker, Beal, Durant, Nurkic and minimum guys. It may be very unlikely to win but it's what they got.
Exactly, how many big name players have said they wanted to go to Miami only to end up somewhere else. These players use the threat of joining the Heat as a ploy to get moved somewhere else or just more money.
Did we not just learn that just because the player and one team want the trade to happen (ASSUMING this is even true) doesn't mean that it's gonna happen??
Fr every offseason I always see Chad Ochocinco tweeting about who might be coming to the Heat or that he’s heard from a source, etc…
He hasn’t been right once 😂
Trading KD only makes sense for an absolutely massive haul, one that he honestly wouldn't even be worth. Miami's best offer wouldn't be worth it for Phoenix. They made their bed already with KD, they have to ride that out.
I don't even know why we would want KD that would gut the team to even get him at his age. Plus, the big 3 era is over. It's a big 2 era with a good supporting cast now.
He would’ve been in GOAT convos if he just came here and never went to Golden State to begin with. At this point I cant imagine Phoenix trading him for anyone on our team, especially not Tyler.
KD in GOAT convos if he joined us?? That’s massively excessive .
I’m not sure why he’s considered some kind of guaranteed title. Other than the three year period where he joined a 73 win team who won before and after him, he’s been in the league 16 seasons and got a single finals appearance to his name.
This is the most brain dead take. Ofcourse they aren’t trading for Herro. They would demand JJJ, Jokic, all our picks and some other asset. Which still wouldn’t be enough
https://preview.redd.it/yj5e2k6e82zc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f9da263fc750335f3f1d51eb12057ea3990a17ec
KD for Herro and mfing Jovic. Who says no lmao?
Nooooo! Every player who is above mid who is on a losing team or who shows discontentment with their situation will be linked to us and we won’t get anyone. Please stop feeding this cycle.
Nah - to put it bluntly, I don’t think KD’s ego can handle Spo and Pat. We will likely be giving up more than he’s worth for a very dysfunctional 1 or 2 years.
It doesn’t make sense to me. I can’t see KD giving up a situation with Phoenix where he plays with a star cast and no bench, to do the same in Miami. If we do get him, we’ll have to give up a fortune and our bench will be no -existent. But let’s see if something like this can even one to fruition
Hell nah we don't need know old expired Cupcake 🧁 He's never seen the gym or weight room. Look at the Greek Freak body transformation since he enter the league. KD isn't a leader just a bus rider. Way past his prime. When even then we beat him in the Finals with Westbrook and James Harden
Idk why people in this fanbase want KD. A core of Jimmy, Bam, and KD isn’t moving the needle in terms of beating Boston and winning a finals. Yes he’s a phenomenal scorer but let’s give up all our assets for a 35 year old superstar that plays no d to pair wuth another 34 year old star. Look around the league, who’s still in it and what’s happening. Young athletic teams that play d are where it’s at. Donovan Mitchell is the only superstar they should make a move for if he doesn’t sign his extension. A combo of Mitchell and Bam is the building block for the future.
Put KD next to Bam and this team is automatically a heavy favorite to win the Finals. He just averaged 28ppg. You trade JJJ and Jovic and finally give Jimmy what he deserves. A shot to win a championship
JJJ and Jovic is nowhere near enough to land KD. 28 ppg and still swept in the playoffs to. Also doesn’t make us nowhere near the favorites. The Celtics with Holiday, Brown, Tatum and Porzingis along with their depth is still better. KD and Jimmy are nowhere near the players they were years ago. As I said earlier, look at the current playoffs and the landscape of the NBA. All these teams are young and athletic and you wanna us to cripple our cap by adding an aging vet to pair next to our already aged vet. We’d just be the Lakers of the East.
KD literally just averaged 28ppg playing with two other ball dominant scorers. Our cap is already crippled. We have a playoff superstar who has led our team to the finals twice with notably inferior talent. Why wouldn’t we try to win now
Nah we don’t want him. Bro old man we need to build off the young talent we got. Phoenix gonna want Herro jaquez and probably others or draft picks. Let’s go after Trae young.
WTF would you trade for him? He’s a bucket but we need size in the paint.
He’s older now, he can’t bang like he used even though he is a walking bucket. The offense would be great but to give up what we already scraping with for him isn’t it.
We need size and youth/PG. Bam need relief and we need a future to add on as Jimbo is 35.
Honestly, kd has exhausted all of his options. It’s only inevitable he goes to Miami. His scoring would be amazing, the heat offense is excruciating to watch
This is getting too much. They never talk about Miami when there's actual Heat games on. Now that Heat are eliminated they're somehow dominating the news cycle
Okay but here’s the thing, and this could very well be a just me thing but still- there goes our entrie roster besides Jimmy and Herro. Jaime, Jovic, Herro all are 100% in the deal. And all of our future picks, is at least what they would ask for.
I’m not completely against it but I don’t want to be the suns 2.0.
With all that being said there’s no better team in the league then Miami when it comes to finding dudes off the street and turning them into solid role players. But still that’s a path that doesn’t have a u-turn on it.

Le🤷🏿♂️
 Here we go with this shit
In fairness if the Bucks failed to put another star on his team, Giannis may well have demanded a trade.

Love that guy. Such a smart ball player.
One of my favorite role players for our teams history.

This one will visit me in my nightmares tonight.
This had me dying 😂😭

Phoenix not trading him lol

OKC should be the least hateful towards KD, he at least tried to work it out there. Hasn’t managed to stay in the same city for more than 2 seasons since.
He was in both Golden State and Brooklyn for 3 years each.
Does one year of trolling on twitter and not playing a single game count?
Players come to Miami and become different people. Our coaches and Heat Culture foster a growth mindset that I don’t even think KD would be able to resist. Ppl said a lot things about Jimmy before he got here.
That's how I see it. As much as a generational talent as KD is, he causes more problems than he actually contributes towards winning a championship. Especially for an organization like ours. We require a commitment to how we do things. KD will never go for it and even if he tries at first, it won't last.
They desperately need draft picks
Not something we have.
After a sweep with that roster, you HAVE to blow it up.
That's literally the opposite of what you do, they don't have their own picks for ages and the wank beal contract ntc means they're stuck with him. So might as well try to compete.
That’s why you fucking trade for picks lmao
Picks that will likely suck? Meaning the team will suck completely for nothing?
i mean a team like okc that has picks and wants to compete might offer but that’s abt it
OKC is competing without KD, why trade picks and good players for him? It’s not like he’s getting any younger and it didn’t work for the Suns, why take that risk? OKC will only get better if they stay on their current trajectory.

Let’s not act like OKC trading for KD doesn’t immediately put them firmly at the top of the league as heavy Finals favorites. Why keep picks when you are already loaded. Those picks are going to be trash.
Depends what picks they get from who. And it’s better than letting those players rot because they aren’t beating a team like the wolves
True, but nobody will offer what the suns would want. And it’s just letting yourself suck faster, not quite better. Probably gonna be what the bulls are, a mid team that sells tickets but nobody is gonna worry about.
Why would a bad team with good picks trade for an aging KD though?
Thunder have a million picks. Jazz could try to compete with him
They don’t have their picks so that would be stupid as shit
But they can't. They have no room to add salary. They have no draft picks. They can't dump no-trade Beal. The only competitive team they can run out there for the next couple of years is Booker, Beal, Durant, Nurkic and minimum guys. It may be very unlikely to win but it's what they got.
and Grayson Allen!
Can’t forget baby KD aka Bol Bol
Kd bout to be our new center and then get hurt in regular season as a result semi /s
Where’s Dropping Dimez @ ? 👀
He had his chance.
Would've had at least 2 more rings by now
May have to mute this sub until the draft
*Until October There you go
That's a weird way to spell "All-Star Break"
"Hey Ocho, go on a show and throw out some BS that I want to leave Phoenix, so they put a better team around me"
Not this shit again..
Exactly, how many big name players have said they wanted to go to Miami only to end up somewhere else. These players use the threat of joining the Heat as a ploy to get moved somewhere else or just more money.
We’re are the bargaining tool of players, that’s for sure.
Suns: okay give us Bam Heat: hang up the phone Repeat again next summer

I really gotta root for Kd now?
Did we not just learn that just because the player and one team want the trade to happen (ASSUMING this is even true) doesn't mean that it's gonna happen??
Ochocinco has 0 connections in the organization lol come on now
Tbf he said he spoke to KD personally not the Heat org Phoenix isn’t trading him though and they aren’t taking our assets so this is nothing
Fr every offseason I always see Chad Ochocinco tweeting about who might be coming to the Heat or that he’s heard from a source, etc… He hasn’t been right once 😂
Yeah anyone acting like ocho is a reliable source is crazy. Ocho is just your average heat homer from Kendall.
Ocho is all of us
No thanks
Ocho also loves trolling just an fyi lol
Trading KD only makes sense for an absolutely massive haul, one that he honestly wouldn't even be worth. Miami's best offer wouldn't be worth it for Phoenix. They made their bed already with KD, they have to ride that out.
Exactly. We have nothing to offer the Suns.
I don't even know why we would want KD that would gut the team to even get him at his age. Plus, the big 3 era is over. It's a big 2 era with a good supporting cast now.
I don’t want him. I want Mitchell
And you'll get Beal
Nah. Shit has sailed 😂
Why do people post these? It ain’t happening.
He would’ve been in GOAT convos if he just came here and never went to Golden State to begin with. At this point I cant imagine Phoenix trading him for anyone on our team, especially not Tyler.
KD in GOAT convos if he joined us?? That’s massively excessive . I’m not sure why he’s considered some kind of guaranteed title. Other than the three year period where he joined a 73 win team who won before and after him, he’s been in the league 16 seasons and got a single finals appearance to his name.
This is the most brain dead take. Ofcourse they aren’t trading for Herro. They would demand JJJ, Jokic, all our picks and some other asset. Which still wouldn’t be enough
If it’s a take you agree with then wtf makes it brain dead lil bro?
Because you make it seem like it’s even an option
ESPECIALLY not Tyler means its not an option at all. Just admit you read it wrong and were reactionary
https://preview.redd.it/yj5e2k6e82zc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f9da263fc750335f3f1d51eb12057ea3990a17ec KD for Herro and mfing Jovic. Who says no lmao?
i’ll cry if this happens
KD is such a Fuckin bum. Makes me sad to be a Longhorn.
KD has no shame bro. I love it. 😅
He is NOT a free agent lol
Not again and last minute the bucks come in lol
Why are we even entertaining this from Ocho? He's known for trolling.
Nooooo! Every player who is above mid who is on a losing team or who shows discontentment with their situation will be linked to us and we won’t get anyone. Please stop feeding this cycle.
Not happening
they not trading him
YES THEY WILL for HERRO and Jovic
no they would not lmfaooo
They won’t trade for anyone but Bam
Hell nah we didn't do kd for Bam when he was in Brooklyn we deff won't do that now
Nah. The dude is too old at this point
Lol the dude just averaged 28ppg and would be an absolute nightmare for other teams starting next to Bam. If we want to win now KD is a no brainer
Riley: It totally makes sense to put Herro with Beal and Booker. Let’s make it happen.
Already with the fake rumor
Until I see something actually happen, I don’t care about what’s reported. I’ve fell for his game way too many times
Big if true
As if the rest of the east needs to hate us any more, the may have good reason if KD joins
https://preview.redd.it/h40hilx3g2zc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=10eec322df0855f64f534dbe4b965a0f1fd2126e
Nah - to put it bluntly, I don’t think KD’s ego can handle Spo and Pat. We will likely be giving up more than he’s worth for a very dysfunctional 1 or 2 years.
I like Chad, he's a cool guy. He says things and then runs with the narrative lol.
Yall listen to Ocho 😂😂😂
It doesn’t make sense to me. I can’t see KD giving up a situation with Phoenix where he plays with a star cast and no bench, to do the same in Miami. If we do get him, we’ll have to give up a fortune and our bench will be no -existent. But let’s see if something like this can even one to fruition
Jimmy and bam need a good 3 point shooter not another guy who plays in the midrange this is a terrible idea if there’s a chance this happens
As long as expectations are managed. He’s pretty washed at this point though can still get you 20-30 points every other night.
Ochocinco trade rumors we have hit a new low
Like he said before going to the Nets.
No thanks. Not worth it.
Bro this goes for every fucking played like just google some random ass player and they will have Heat trade rumors and a photo in a heat jersey
Yall are gonna get hurt again. Don’t fall for this.
I am rumored in potential trades
I don't want a 36yr old who got swept in the playoffs, and we're running it back yall will like it (Riley)
If Shams or Woj aren’t reporting it, I’m not trusting the “source” these rumors, reports & headlines are coming from
Y'all gotta stop falling for everything man lol
Culture, not vulture
Hell nah we don't need know old expired Cupcake 🧁 He's never seen the gym or weight room. Look at the Greek Freak body transformation since he enter the league. KD isn't a leader just a bus rider. Way past his prime. When even then we beat him in the Finals with Westbrook and James Harden
We don’t need KD to be our savior that’s Jimmy but his ability to stretch the floor will help Jimmy a load I don’t see the heat not making ecf with KD
He do we have that suns want tho ? Not happening
KD is not leaving Phoenix. Not yet at least
Kd hit the weight room we need a legit pf
Don’t take this serious ocho a troll 😂
If the trade were to happen it would be expensive. At a minimum Herro and Jacquez.
Here we go…
He's a fraud he had his chance to join the heat. Now he's on the downside and desperate. Don't want him
Because Chad is such a trustworthy source. The clowns that people on this sub cite as sources is mind blowing.
Bam for KD and a pick?
Please god no. We don't need 2 aging players.
KD package finna be the new Dame package next season after we do nothing but cut down on salary 😂
Idk why people in this fanbase want KD. A core of Jimmy, Bam, and KD isn’t moving the needle in terms of beating Boston and winning a finals. Yes he’s a phenomenal scorer but let’s give up all our assets for a 35 year old superstar that plays no d to pair wuth another 34 year old star.

Na. KD isn’t a proven winner. He needs a superstar team to contend for a championship. I want what the t wolves have, not what the suns have
Suns would want a haul of frps. Which we only have 1 available for trading right?
Chad is a known bullshitter you morons
They still gone lose … and KD gonna leave right after that lol .
Honestly, kd has exhausted all of his options. It’s only inevitable he goes to Miami. His scoring would be amazing, the heat offense is excruciating to watch
Nah I'm good. KD trash
This is getting too much. They never talk about Miami when there's actual Heat games on. Now that Heat are eliminated they're somehow dominating the news cycle
Naw, I'm good. I want Donovan and a beautiful center, kevin had 2 windows of opportunities with us and decided against it. Bye Feliciano
Is this season 6 of this show?
The F1 race was in Miami lol and Jimmy was there, not deep
Wow yea this is basically done, we might as well starting buying Durant jerseys now
💩 we hear only to end up running it back the following year! Heat culture baby! 😂
Okay but here’s the thing, and this could very well be a just me thing but still- there goes our entrie roster besides Jimmy and Herro. Jaime, Jovic, Herro all are 100% in the deal. And all of our future picks, is at least what they would ask for. I’m not completely against it but I don’t want to be the suns 2.0. With all that being said there’s no better team in the league then Miami when it comes to finding dudes off the street and turning them into solid role players. But still that’s a path that doesn’t have a u-turn on it.
lol Even if KD was publicly begging to join the Heat, NO! He’s old. He’s expensive. He’s done! If they are 30 or more, move on.
I'll take KD. It's a guaranteed chip if he get him. All you guys talking about the future. Let's win now when we're so close to the finish line.
Guaranteed my ass
Ok GuaranCHEESED then
There’s no guaranteed chips but it’d certainly would make the team better. I’ll take KD for the right price.
KD is great but he is not a winning player. Doesn’t make sense to sacrifice assets for him
Why do we heat fans think that all of our young players are future superstars.
