Heat current leaders in the Hayward race

I read a national talking head who thought the heat could push for a 5th seed in the east if they could sign Hayward, and stay healthy.
 
Pat Riley: "You like my rings, Gordo?"

Gordon Hayward: "They're really nice Pat. What's your plan to win more if I sign with the Heat?"

Pat Riley: "Well, Lebron. . . "

Gordon Hayward: (excited voice) "You're getting Lebron back!?!"

Pat Riley: "Er, well. . . uh. . . no. But Dion Waiters loves to shoot the ball a lot and pretend he's Lebron."

Gordon Hayward: "Ummm, okay."

Pat Riley: "But since you'll be the focus of the offense, you can just ignore him when he calls for the ball. It's fine. Everyone else does it."

Gordon Hayward: "Ummm."

Pat Riley: "Let's talk point guards."

Gordon Hayward: "Oh yeah. The Jazz just traded for Ricky Rubio. That's pretty exciting."

Pat Riley: "Whatever. We've got Goran Dragic. He's awesome. He's younger then Rub- eh. . . well he's a better rebou- eh. . . he's a better pas- eh. . . he's a better defen- eh. . . well ****. At least he's a better 3 point shooter. He has that going for him."

Gordon Hayward: "But isn't he like 31 years old and has back problems?"

Pat Riley: (shrugs) "Well. . . how about Hassan Whiteside? He's a stud!"

Gordon Hayward: "Yeah. He kind of reminds me of a poor man's Rudy Gobert. Except more selfish and not as good on defense. He might make it to the All Star game in the East. Maybe."

Pat Riley: (shrugs) "Well. . . how about all of our supporting players? Justice Winslow. McBob. James Johnson. Those guys are pretty good."

Gordon Hayward: "Do you have a Jingles?"

Pat Riley: "Come again?"

Gordon Hayward: "A Prince of Threes? Joe Jesus? Hell, do you even have a Mack Daddy?"

Pat Riley: "Well no. But we've got beaches. And girls."

Gordon Hayward: "How much will you pay me?"

Pat Riley: (sits up tall) "A max contract! We'll pay you as much as the NBA will let us. So, about 50 million dollars less than Utah will offer."

Gordon Hayward: "Why an I here?"

Pat Riley: (grins like a pimp) "You like my rings Gordo?"
Well done

Whiteside would have interrupted like 5 times to flex and ask Gordon if Rudy has ever gotten a triple double with blocks.

I nearly fell off my chair when I imagined such an accomplishment.

I think the d league has a few teams that are gunning for that fifth spot.
 
The Heat have nothing to offer that's better than what the Jazz have. Except the nightlife maybe. And Hayward doesn't seem like the frequenting clubs at 3 AM type. He sure as **** isn't going to win ANYTHING with the current roster Miami has. I don't buy it. I think he'll stay with the Jazz. The Jazz are in the best shape to help him win. Short-term and long-term. Miami isn't going to win anything as currently constructed. Boston is nothing but question marks and what ifs.

You mean other than Pat Riley as the GM, a title winning (underrated) head coach, a better location to attract a fellow top talent, and the Eastern conference?

Give me a break. Jazz fans need to be honest about this. Miami is damn attractive.
 
Aside from Dragic, Waiters, Johnson and Whiteside the Heat are scrubs. They have NOONE at PF aside from Bam - expecting Bam to immediately crush it is a lot to ask. And they've been awful at developing Winslow, letting him chuck it.

If Dragic went down they'd be absolutely screwed, unlike us, as we have way more depth than the Heat.
 
Lol at how delusional this message board is. The west is currently stacked thanks to PG and Butler trades, why would Hayward stay in a much tougher conference than it already was, when he can go to the cake walk east where the heat finished the second half of the season 30-11?

I definitely understand your stage of denial but step back and think rationally for a second, I read earlier some guy saying how Jazz without GH > Heat with GH lmao. Please don't be so disappointed when he signs with a team in the east be it Boston or Miami.
