The Miami Heat has had its time when the Big Three was still leading the charge for their franchise. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade have since chosen to go back to their roots, leaving Chris Bosh as the man in South Beach. The Heat held promise last year, with a very solid starting lineup that […]

The Miami Heat organization is entering a new era with the departure of Dwyane Wade. They still have strong pieces with the likes of Goran Dragic, Hassan Whiteside, and others, but there’s definitely a different feel after losing the face of the franchise for the past 13 seasons. With so many other things to do […]

If it wasn’t for the Olympics, the buzz around basketball would be fairly low at the moment, at least compared to the rest of the year. We’re in the middle of the offseason, nearly two months removed from the end of the Finals and a little over two months from the start of the 2016-17 […]

The Miami Heat have missed Chris Bosh, and Bosh has missed playing for them. The very unfortunate recurring blood clot in his leg forced Bosh to miss the playoffs last season and most of the season the year before too. Tyler Johnson, who signed a four-year, $50 million deal with the Heat this summer, recently […]

The Miami Heat‘s Tyler Johnson has certainly had a summer definitely worth remembering. It can be recalled that when he was still a restricted free agent during the early part of this year’s free agency, he received a qualifying offer from the Brooklyn Nets worth $50 million for four years. Everyone, including himself, thought that he […]

Christmas Day has become one of the NBA’s featured days. The league plans every year to schedule compelling matchups on that day full of the best teams and players. That used to mean the Miami Heat.

It’s no secret that Rudy Gay‘s relationship with the Sacramento Kings‘ front office is tenuous, to put it lightly. This offseason, he questioned the direction of the franchise and cited the firing of Mike Malone as the start of the current regime’s downfall. Gay has since cleared the air with general manager and vice president […]

While Kevin Durant certainly made an argument for biggest free agent surprise this summer by joining the Warriors, many others would argue that Dwyane Wade really takes the cake there by leaving the Heat for the Bulls. Wade’s wife, Gabrielle Union, is definitely in the latter camp. The actress recently sat down with Basketball Insiders’ […]

The way basketball is being played right now in the NBA makes players with length an even valuable commodity. Gone are the days when bulking up was almost a necessity.

It won’t take long to see Chicago Bulls guard Dwyane Wade back in Miami suited up to play basketball again. According to The Miami Herald, The Miami Heat will host Wade and the Bulls on November 10th. This will be one of the weeks premiere games, as it falls on a night when NBA games are hosted […]

Last season, Beno Udrih made the classy decision to accept a buyout from the Miami Heat in order to put the team under the luxury tax after having season-ending surgery on his right foot. Now that he’s recovered, Udrih may be going back to South Beach because other NBA organizations didn’t find the move so […]

Dwyane Wade’s departure from the Miami Heat was quite possibly the most shocking move of the summer.

In a recent interview on ESPN, Wade spoke about the decision, how he feels about it, and what […]

The Miami Heat have tried to trade Josh McRoberts  since last season’s trade deadline, but have been unsuccessful at every attempt.

No player’s name has been more synonymous with a franchise in the 21st century than Dwyane Wade‘s with the Miami Heat. For 13 years, Wade was the face of the Heat, even as superstars like Shaquille O’Neal and LeBron James rolled through. He was assumed to be a “Heat lifer.” As we all know, that’s […]

Dion Waiters hasn’t always brought with himself the best reputation. The new Miami Heat guard has yet to live up to the expectations of being the fourth overall pick in the NBA Draft. And, not always because of a lack of physical ability. Waiters has garnered a reputation for questionable shot-taking, saying silly things to […]

Dion Waiters is gaining a reputation as a journeyman. The former Oklahoma City Thunder guard agreed to a one-year, $2.9 million deal with the Miami Heat this week. His move adds depth to the shooting guard position after the departure of Miami icon, Dwyane Wade. The deal was for far less than fans expected, considering […]

The Miami Heat‘s new max player in Hassan Whiteside wasted no time going to work in his Drew League Debut. Many NBA players join the Drew League each summer playing against amateur competition, and as you can imagine, they dominate, as you would expect them to do. This week, Whiteside showed little mercy to his opponents as […]

Dwyane Wade is not done yet. Doubters have been calling for his exit for a year now, claiming that his prime is over, and he should think about hanging up his sneakers.

Everyone thought that Tyler Johnson would be playing with the Brooklyn Nets after he signed an offer sheet from them worth $50 million for four years. But when Dwyane Wade left Miami and agreed to play for the Bulls, Miami Heat president Pat Riley decided to match the offer and make the restricted free agent […]

Dion Waiters isn’t exactly known for making great decisions. Whether it’s stepback long two’s, elbowing Manu Ginobili before an inbound or calling for the ball when it’s in Kevin Durant’s hands, Waiters has become the butt of many jokes in his four-year NBA career. Waiters’ decision not to accept the Oklahoma City Thunder’s qualifying offer […]

Shane Battier will be remembered as one of the greatest teammates in NBA history. Battier was never the star at the NBA level, but he was always a premiere role player. Habits honed under Mike Krzyzewski at Duke shaped him into a great defender (on-ball and off), efficient outside shooter, and possessor of an extremely […]

The Miami Heat are going to look different now. Dwyane Wade surprisingly bolted for the Chicago Bulls after 13 seasons with the franchise. The Heat also lost Luol Deng and Joe Johnson in the offseason. What that may mean, above all else, is more opportunities for second-year forward, Justise Winslow. Here’s what Pat Riley told […]

Miami Heat swingman Justise Winslow is keeping the fun going this summer, and he brought some help this time.

The Miami Heat have endured a pretty interesting offseason. A lot of people would not exactly describe their summer as a success. Although Miami was able to retain center Hassan Whiteside, they lost out on big fish Kevin Durant and regrettably let “Heat Lifer” Dwyane Wade leave for the Chicago Bulls. The Heat also lost […]

The Denver Nuggets secured a last minute meeting in this summer’s free agency with Dwyane Wade. At the time, many felt Wade was just trying to pressure the Miami Heat to up their offer when he chose to meet with other teams, driving up his price tag.

There were many surprising moves this summer in the NBA. However, none more so than two.

For years, the Miami Heat was a prime destination for free agents, most especially veterans chasing that elusive ring, mainly because of the presence of their then-Big Three. LeBron James has been gone for two years as he decided to come home and Dwyane Wade followed suit for his own hometown. Meanwhile, Chris Bosh’s medical […]

Despite Dwyane Wade already having signed with the Chicago Bulls, the superstar guard’s name will seem to stick around in newsfeeds along with Miami Heat team president Pat Riley’s. The former Heat guard’s departure from sunny South Florida to the Windy City has not been ideal, considering Wade’s contributions to the franchise. Reports surfaced about […]
