Today, news came out that Claude wanted to return to the hot fire and had got in touch with the hot fire, but the hot fire felt big about the introduction of Claude because they couldn’t get the chips that satisfied the sun. Seeing this news, the Heat fans are estimated to be a little big “. During the off-season this year, the hot-fire recipients continued to downgrade, but their attitudes were surprisingly consistent: “No chips, no way!” Why is Riley surprisingly cautious this year with the reputation of fortune-teller?
Because of the Gobel deal, the 2022 offseason is the quietest offseason in recent years. Rao was so, and the heat was too calm. At first, when Durant applied for a deal, he once designated the heat and the sun as his next home; Later, the heat once frowned with Mitchell. After one of these two major goals stayed in the team and one of his votes, the industry has already had a view on the top leaders of the heat. At one time, when the industry selected the red and black list operated during the off-season this year, it unceremoniously listed the heat in the black list.
Now, after Claude made a clear gesture, the heat is still “quite moved but rejected”. Of course, Claude is not Durant or Mitchell, not a key figure that can change the pattern, but can also be regarded as a substitute for Tucker, or an old minister of heat. Fans can’t help asking: it’s OK if the big and small King gets up or not, why not even get up for 3?
In addition to the weak recruitment, the heat has never given a statement on the renewal of the Croal contract. The change of Heat’s attitude towards Croal was obvious from “men who couldn’t change harden” to being frequently put on shelves. This is also why Croal is eager to finalize the New Testament. He had already had too many ups and downs. He got at least the best sixth person this year, which was a good opportunity to ask the team for a raise. If the renewal is postponed until next year, Croal can’t guarantee what kind of report card will be handed over next season.
Therefore, we have seen the heat like this: When American media talked about the heat, they thought that they would be ranked 6th in the Eastern District at most, and if they were not, they would play a play-in; the Croal of “full of grievance” is still chasing the ass to ask for a New Testament, and every day they shout to the outside world to send first, teasing Oladipo and Strous. It is hard to imagine that this is a team that has reached the finals once in the last three seasons and has won the first place in the Eastern District last season.
Looking back on history, Riley’s action during the offseason in 2022 was even more abnormal.
In September 2020, the famous writer Brian winhorst wrote an article to reveal Riley’s unique team building plan, which is called “one-year reconstruction plan”. The article mentioned that the heat always disdain the so-called “three-year development plan. The plan was once visualized by 76 people as a “belief process”, with great results; The Thunder in recent years, this year’s jazz and Spurs are also practicing, but the heat has embarked on another road.
In the 2018-19 season, the Heat only won 39 wins and 43 losses. Riley swept away the redundancy and introduced Jimmy Butler. It took only one year to lead the team back to the finals. During the off-season in 2021, Riley introduced lorry, Tucker and Morris nonstop. The industry made a summary of Riley: “Even if there is not enough salary space, he will go after the big names. He promoted some low rank or drop draft to replace the players to be cleared; And in order to introduce big names, he would not hesitate to attack these young talents.”
Riley has taken root here since she went south to Miami in 1995. In the past 27 years, through his hand, the heat has successively experienced the era of mourning + Hardaway, Wade + O’Neal, the era of the three giants, and the era that is now branded by Butler and Adebayor. During this period, the Heat 6 reached the finals and won the championship three times, which was already the hero of the NBA territory. Under Riley, the heat has never been absent from the playoffs for more than two seasons in a row.
Take the process of winning the first Crown as an example. Wade was selected by the heat in 2003, and O’Neal was exchanged in 2004. He continued to strengthen in 2005 and won the championship in 2006, which was only the third season of Wade’s career. During the whole process, Riley’s team was built step by step without any delay.
This kind of team building method of “never putting up bad, always reinforcing” made colleagues envy. A senior NBA team said: “Every team has different situations, which is true, but there will always be team owners staring at the heat and thinking, ‘why don’t we do this? ‘”Other team leaders sighed:” There are tens of millions of ways to win, but the reconstruction of the heat is indeed much faster than the normal way.”
Even Skip Bayless, known as “the first Zhan hei”, once said: “If someone can handle the durant transaction, this person can only be Riley. After all, he has handled LeBlanc. I respect him as much as I respect Jerry West.”
After watching these, we will understand why there are so many teams that have nothing to do this summer, but everyone is not staring at the heat. After all, the heat has both the necessity and the conditions to make up the strength during the off-season this year. The heat hit the first in the Eastern District last season and was only one step away from the finals, so it is imperative to strengthen it. However, Durant and Mitchell entered the trading market, which also showed that the heat was not without options.
The reason is that Riley may have two big knots if he stays firm this summer. First, although Durant and Mitchell are good, they are far away. Durant trading once touched the hearts of many teams, but he stayed in the team after all. At this time, all walks of life suddenly realized that basketable nets had never thought of trading Durant at all, what they did was just blocking the deal. In this case, Riley, who is “wise and wise”, will naturally not be boring.
As for Mitchell, it is a bit confusing. Mitchell once listed the heat on the list of favorite teams (the other two teams were Knicks and basketable nets), but after Mitchell was sent to the Knights, the news from Miami side was: the Heat never made an offer to the Jazz.
From the chip analysis, the heat does not lack the first round of signing, but Croal (the next poison contract) and Deng Luo (already a bad contract) are not as attractive to jazz as Sekston and malcanin. After the European Championship this year, Anji will be glad that he chose the right trading partner. Therefore, regardless of whether the heat has quoted the price, even if the price is quoted, Riley will not take advantage of the confrontation with Anji.
Secondly, the operation of the heat in recent years has also produced some negative effects, making Riley have to “brake”. During the off-season in 2021, Riley gave Deng Luo 90 million fat for 5 years, while the latter rewarded him with the worst one-season performance since Cainiao’s season; Cainiao gave Luo Rui 85 million for 3 years, the latter became a negative asset in the playoffs.
However, the Croal who are asking for high salary now also shows that there is no match. The Miami Herald reporter reminded the heat on Anthony that if the contract is renewed by Croal this year, it will be difficult to send it away next year, and the teams will avoid the “poison contract.
As a result, the Heat wanted to participate in the Star battle while keeping Butler and Adebayor, and their chips really couldn’t be taken out. At the same time, Riley will also have the idea of sorting out the chaos in the team first and then participating in the external competition.
In the past, Riley had left too many classics in coaching and operation, and he could always bring confidence to Miami fans. Therefore, we have reason to believe that the offseason 2022 is only an exception. Seeing that the heat is still wandering outside the Championship Hall, the “fortune-teller” will not remain indifferent. (Supine support/fur)
