Miami Heat

At 30 years old, you’d think Goran Dragic might want to distance himself from the team with the NBA’s second-worst record. But he doesn’t. Per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, Dragic is hoping to stick with the Miami Heat as they rebuild in the post-LeBron James and -Dwyane Wade era: ESPN reported Friday that the Orlando [...]

In the wake of the Miami Heat’s down season, Goran Dragic is expected to be available ahead of the trade deadline. If you want him, though, you’ll need to do better than Nikola Vucevic and a first-round pick. Just ask the Orlando Magic, according to ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: The most substantive trade proposal generating buzz [...]

Dwyane Wade left the Miami Heat for the Chicago Bulls in July under less-than-warm circumstances, but that didn’t stop the franchise from playing a video tribute when he first returned. Or from keeping his old locker vacant, presumably as some form of honor for all he did and gave to the organization. Until now. The [...]

On a recent episode of ESPN’s The Lowe Post podcast, Zach Lowe intimated that everyone on the Miami Heat’s roster could be had via trade—even Hassan Whiteside. The news was a revelation. Goran Dragic’s name has meandered in and out of the rumor mill, but that’s to be expected. He turns 31 in May; he and the Heat [...]

With the Miami Heat miles outside the Eastern Conference playoff picture, you probably think they’ll be sellers at the trade deadline. That feeling also probably intensified once word came that Justise Winslow would miss the rest of the season with a shoulder injury. And your first instinct was to then probably envision Goran Dragic in [...]

Now that the Miami Heat are rebuilding, a 30-year-old Goran Dragic suddenly feels out of place. Sure, the Heat can use him to pitch superstar free agents on relocating to Miami; after all, it often takes incumbent stars to reel in outside headliners. But Dragic isn’t the best of stars, and the NBA’s new collective [...]

Hassan Whiteside tallied 32 points, 15 rebounds and five blocks in the Miami Heat’s double-overtime loss to the Orlando Magic on Tuesday night. And that wasn’t enough for him. Whiteside attempted just three shots through the two overtime periods, and he wasn’t happy about it, per Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley: [tweet https://twitter.com/ZachBuckleyNBA/status/811433466072072192] Does Whiteside have [...]

Goran Dragic is not for sale. Yet. According to Basketball Insiders’ Steve Kyler, the Miami Heat are not entertaining offers for their franchise point guard, but there’s a chance that changes before the February deadline: Miami’s Goran Dragic continues to surface as possibly the biggest fish to be had, but sources with the HEAT continue [...]

Hassan Whiteside isn’t a three-point shooter…in actual games. Pretty much all of his shot attempts come from inside 10 feet of the basket, according to Basketball-Reference, and he has never launched a triple during regulation in an NBA game. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t chuck treys in practice. He does. He just doesn’t have [...]

Justise Winslow hasn’t played since November 14, and it doesn’t sound like he will be returning to the Miami Heat anytime soon. As head coach Erik Spoelstra said, per Manny Navarro of the Miami Herald: [tweet https://twitter.com/Manny_Navarro/status/808373829328400384] But wait, it gets worse, or at least more ominous-sounding: [tweet https://twitter.com/Manny_Navarro/status/808444148034498560] [tweet https://twitter.com/Manny_Navarro/status/808444379320946688] Surgery, quite obviously, would [...]
