This is different
From "We Want Giannis!" chants to Stand Pat and this dismal day, to...

FIRE THE ENTIRE FRONT OFFICE.
This has been different. Miami "Heat" fans are fed up and demanding heads roll.

If I’m Heat media, I’m lighting Spo and Riley up with questions. Pat Riley can’t be trusted and they aren’t “a threat to make any trade anymore.” Missed out on Dame when he openly wanted Miami, missed on KD, missed on Giannis (kinda) and didn’t even attempt to get Bam a PG.

Absolutely. But they won't. Barry Jackson (Herald) and Ira Winderman (Sun-Sentinel) get their "scoops" by being plants for Riley.
@CuffsTheLegend
1. Rob Pelinka is a Disney timeshare salesman
2. Pat Riley is Washed
3. Mike Dunleavy Jr & Joe Lacob are wasting Steph’s final years
4. Chicago Bulls have like 10 small guards on their roster
5. Kawhi Leonard got left behind in the wilderness like Nino Brown

Been hesitant on saying this, but I believe it’s time for Pat Riley to go.

Pat Riley just woke up from his nap, slept right through the deadline #HeatNation #NBATrades #NBATradeDeadline
(Riley supposedly napped through a draft pick or a trade call a few years ago.)

Riley, pay attention. Do you see what you have done? (not done?) You're losing this fan base.

Almost exactly my sentiments during the last loss to Male Cows.
At this time tomorrow if nothing done, Riley needs to hold a press conference to explain himself* (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8)

(7) Update 12:40 pm
Giannis is staying in Milwaukee per Shams
11:41 am (6) Update
-Lakers trade Gabe Vincent to Hawks for Luke Kennard
8:10 am Feb. 5
(5) Update
-Dubs trade Kuminga, Hield to Hawks for Porzingis
"Heat", nothink. How is Riley going to explain this?
(4) Update 12:35 am Feb. 5:
Crickets. at the Bobby Marks midnight timeline.
Beyond a reasonable doubt Antetokounmpo will stay in πΊ. And the notion that Riley would get Ja Morant if not Antetokounmpo has had an ice cold πΊ thrown on it also. Miami offered "nothing of value" to Memphis.
No Whale, no grizzly shark with a gun, NOTHING as the clock strikes 15 hrs to the end of the trade window. By all lights Riley is standing pat once agayne. That is the unkindest cut.
It appears Pat Riley tried with Antetokounmpo. Everyone on the roster except Bam Adebayo was offered for Milwaukee to choose five. There's the rub. Riley wanted Milwaukee's best player without offering his own in a trade that would have been one of similars. Riley would not give up a three-time all-star to get a ten-time all-star; wouldn't give up a player with 0 all-nba selections but as one of his nine; put off limits a player who has five all-defensive team selections for one who also has five; wouldn't trade a player with 0 MVP's for one who has two; wouldn't trade a player with 0 NBA titles for one who has 1.
One of Riley's adages is "hard work guarantees you nothing, but without it you don't stand a chance." In this case however Riley does not get an "A" for effort. In coming back to shore with no Whale or even a big fish, Riley has bruised the psyche of his young, 43-win team. As happened last season with the Jimmy Butler drama. That team promptly lost sonething like 10 straight games. Riley and his lap dog Spoelstra will spout the company line of "it's a business, you can't let it effect you", but that is so much pablum. A third of the team was part of Riley's offer, were however close to leaving for the frozen tundra. "Guys, we love you! A momentary infatuation, was all the Giannis business was. And now it's over! Wee! Back to your nose to the grindstones, slaves! You ESPECIALLY, Kel'el!"
Human beings don't function that way. We'll see how they function in the remaining thirty games. Optimism is unwarranted, but in the short term and the long.
10:08 pm:
(3) UpdateBobby Marks, a former NBA GM, said that if Giannis Antetokounmpo is going to be anywhere but Milwaukee, we will know by midnight tonight. It's not midnight, but this is the best I can do:
Why Do They Torture Me?
Fullcourtpass
@Fullcourtpass
The focus of the Milwaukee Bucks trade negotiations for Giannis Antetokounmpo have been with the Miami Heat and Minnesota Timberwolves, per
@ShamsCharania
The focus of sports futures investors is on a Minnesota trade and a Chicago trade over a Miami trade.
(1) Update, 6:03 pm:

Thank you Pep Guardiola for using your platform.
Governments killing, displacing and dehumanising millions across the world want to make us think it's normal.
But Guardiola is right.
We can't look away. And we cannot accept it.
What is being asked of us right now is to fight for justice, for every single human.
You're not alone. Let's do it together. π―️

I’m a fanatic @Arsenal supporter. There’s nothing that would make me happier than
@ManCity losing tonight. [We won 3-1] But THIS coach, Pep Guardiola, is a hero of our time. If only everyone with power spoke with the passion and eloquence and courage as he does. Justice matters. Gaza matters. Ukraine matters. Sudan matters. Thank you Pep! (Go Gunners!!!!)

“There is somebody who sees the images from all around the world who is not affected? Today we can see it. Before we could not see it. Today we see. It hurts me.
“If it was the opposite side, it would hurt me. Wanting harm for another country? It hurts me. [To] completely kill thousands of innocent people, it hurts me. It’s no more complicated than that. No more. When you have an idea and you need to defend [it] and you have to kill thousands, thousands of people – I’m sorry, I will stand up. Always I will be there, always.
"From my point of view, the justice? You have to talk. Otherwise it will just move on. Look what happened in the United States of America, Renee Good and Alex Pretti have been killed. Tell me how you can defend that?
"There is not a perfect society, nowhere is perfect, I am not perfect, we have to work to be better."

The Supreme Court lets California use its new, Democratic-friendly congressional mapTrumpstein: FUCK YOU
They are an org. that overvalues its players, both paying them too much and thinking the players are better than does the rest of the Association.
They believe themselves always players for Whales when they are not. They overvalue their attraction to Whales. Their reality testing is impaired: eleven and one-half years of 44-38 and no Whales
This is so hard a time for me as a "Heat" fan. I was at the first game in 1988. The franchise has been humiliated, the fan base disillusioned and disabused of hope, the players told they are not wanted, are not good enough, the future a treadmill of irrelevant mediocrity descending into decrepitude. This once proud, proud franchise.

Antokounmpo Statement
Antetokounmpo noted to Owczarski that he’s had “zero” input in the trade discussions surrounding him and believes the Bucks can still put together a competitive roster with him.
“I always listen and trust. But what I’m trying to say, how many chances do I have left to win a championship? So, you just gotta [be] more careful and more urgent in every decision that you make moving forward.
If you ask me what do I really want, deep down in my heart? I want to be a Milwaukee Buck until I retire and win a championship here. End of sentence. ... If that is not possible to happen, and if then you realize maybe that’s not the case and maybe they’re looking elsewhere and that’s not what they’re trying to do, then automatically you have to be in the plans of what they’re trying to do or weigh the other options. It’s normal.”
Election Over?
