Miami Heat Lose Caleb Martin To Sixers For Reportedly A Lot Less Money 

Calebs agent clearly packs a pb&j for lunch and wears jeans to work because how do you say Miami didn’t offer enough and then take less

It was bound to happen, but bro fumbled the bag. They probably promised him a starting role or something. Either way, him and his agent still folded

The current Heat issues are losing players/not trading players before the drop off and not getting assets. Gotta improve the overall asset management department cause they’re droppin’ the ball.

Philly has a nice starting 5

Pat said to Caleb's agent "The damage is done, my friend"😂😂

It's all propaganda. Nobody has the balls to point it out because they don't want to lose their credentials. Heat front office worried about damage control is pitiful. Worry about making the bleeping team better!

Caleb saved the Heat from themselves. 👏 👏 👏

This leans more towards Bam playing the four! Hopefully Jovic gets played at the three spot!

Next get rid of Herro

If it weren’t for the Heat, the guy would be working at Denny’s. This makes sense

Heat were gonna offer him 5 years 65 million! What are thet thinking. Thank God he opted out. Now we about to waste big money on Highsmith...

Losing caleb is tough bro there goes or wing defender we better have a good summer league today

I like reports on facts! Less opinions and rumors😂

I saw this coming when I went to the Heat-76ers game after Kyle signed with them. Kyle and Caleb spent a lot of time at halfcourt talking with their hand over their mouth before the game.

So this is what it’s felt to be a Knicks fan the past 20-30 years eh?

I'm I the only one who thinks he regressed last year? He provided little help on offense when we needed him to step up. His agent did us a favor.

Sixers will stink so bad over the next few years,old man George,joel,and now worn out martin

Dude got that Bam dribble hand off down 18 with 2 minutes left of a game in round one and said I’m outies

Caleb let his agents make a huge mistake

We have enough

Miami offered him more and he didn't sign thinking he can get more than the market dries up and he signs for less just to not have to come back to Miami Heat with his tail tucked between his legs

As a heat fan my reaction is SO WHAT??? These undrafted players are given a chance and are made to look better than they actually thanks to SPO being a great coach. Just watch by the end of next season Caleb will either be back in the G League or on the bench with no playing time

Thank goodness he played. Am tired of Heat overplaying players. Tyler Johnson, Whiteside, washed Lowry, dion waiters, heck we even paid james johnson 14 million for his 8 points on 33% from 3 that year. Our team would have a lot more options if we werent paying overpaid role player Herro 29 million this season.

Excellent bench player for Heat. 2023 playoff performance vs.Celtics alone increased his value. Another G league project who shined with Heat. I predict he will not be better anywhere else. Just like Gabe Vincent in LA.

This front office continues to piss fans off 🤬🤬🤬

He fucked up by playing hard ball.

It’s ridiculous how Caleb gets 8M per and Hartenstein gets 29M per

Sad day for the Heat & Caleb

caleb thought too much of himself

Who cares! If I'm the heat i would put that info out there too! He's an idiot to take a deal a whole lot less

Newsflash: Caleb Martin signs with the Sixers for an opportunity to play with Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and PG-13. Build his Brand on a Championship Team. GO SIXERS ❤️💙❤️💙

Unfortunately the Heat are $5mm away from the 2nd apron cap, so you can’t trade for Lauri unless you trade someone that makes exactly what he makes ($18,044,544). That also means You also don’t have the ability to add a bunch of contracts together to match his salary and because you’re at the apron, you also can’t trade draft picks to get him (I’m not sure you guys have much to trade as it is). I also think you guys only have two trade exceptions you can use and one of them is expiring in two days. So unless Derozen wants to come for a taxpayer MLE, it’d be hard to sign him too. Unfortunately, your guys’ cap sheet makes it somewhat unrealistic for you guys to sign or trade for either of those guys

Happy we didn’t waste all of that money to be honest

Thank you Caleb 👏🏼

You explored the nuances of this situation quite well my friend

GO Sixers ! Sixers are the Biggest threat to the Celtics ! They just acquired Caleb Martin ( 4 yr $32 Mil guaranteed ) who was a pain for J Brown & Tatum defensively in the playoffs .Morey & the Sixers are still considering making another move ...ie. Finney , M. Morris, KJ Martin, K. Lowery, Highsmith, Achiuwa, Etc...

Demar just signed with the kings. I guess we are running it back lol.

We need Brandon Ingram

Agents can mess you up...talking big talk...they're trying to get they're money...and many times...do a disservice to there clients....The heat will be ok...but this is a lesson for players to speak for what they want...not what an agent tries to do...😮

4:53 theres a difference between being an undersized power forward with embiid, pg, maxey and oubre etc. around you vs. 36 different starting lineups on a team that doesn’t take the regular season seriously and everyone else is undersized as well. His “position” will be the same but his “role” will be completely different and a good fit for him

Just sign his brother nobody will know the difference

I wanna be mad but this is just sad news. The only winner in this deal was the Sixers :/

Not disappointed in this move, wishing him all the best. But for you younger players to become great they need to play. And he was going to take mins away from guys. So good luck, 4 for 32+ agent got some splaining to do.

Called it

Are we playing to win now or are we doing the Thunder thing and trying to win down the line? That is what frustrates me as a fan as they are sending mix messages. Pat says win now but the lack of moves say win down the line. I'm fine for down the line if they commit to that but they aren't committing to now or the future.

Thank god he saved the FO from themselves

The money difference is even bigger when you factor in state income taxes.

HAHAAAA YALL MADDDDD😅😅😅

Bro left for a lower deal lol

I’ll miss him but after this season he obviously hit his ceiling we can’t keep living in the past we can get the same production from Alec Burks Fr 🤣

Thank you for your Services CALEB, HEAT 🔥 CULTURE PRODUCT... thanks for the cap relief

Next man up.

He not going play good there watch

i guess like every heat fan, caleb didnt want to run it back lol

Loved Caleb but Glad we did not overpay him. Hope we can keep Haywood, he had better fg% and 3pt% than Caleb and defends as well as.

Martin another Lowery 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I think this is much better for Heat. Especially for Jovic and JJJ. This is a big opportunity for them.

As a Sixers fan, I'm OK with this. Maxey Oubre Martin PG Embiid If they can fill out the bench a bit more, I will put that starting 5 vs anyone on the East.

Honestly he was playing with the 76ers since the play I'm game if you ask me.

I think that $65 mil deal would have put Miami in the second apron. I don’t believe they offered that.

Their stars are hurt processs over … now they are the Philadelphia ‘ heat bench team “ Sixers … nice snoopin Morrey

SPO CAN MAKE ANOTHER CALEB!!! UNGRATEFUL UNDRAFTED PLAYERS. They owe their career to Spo and Riley!! Without the Heat they would never be in the NBA.

Smh 😢

Now they need to trade butler/herro / rozier and start this rebuild properly

Martin will be hard to replace. Saw Sixers as better chance to make run at title.

I honestly do not think the Heat actually offered that much money in the first place.

We're always bound when free agency comes. We add little to none. Undrafted and buyouts are the only option and can't keep them after 2 years. Who's getting all the money

We cant even run it back because dont have everyone back 💀

Don't blame the agent. He can't make a move without Caleb's approval. Caleb left because he knew that the signing was sign and trade to the Bulls. Riley getting cute again.

Damage control!?!?! How about actually doing something in free agency?

Wow, this might be one of the biggest miscalculations by an Agent ever. Although, the agents work for these players at the end of the day. Caleb clearly should have gotten a second opinion.

We offered hin 5/65M ....

They offered him an above market value contract obviously. So we can't be mad with the circumstances. That gives Jaime more of an opportunity to thrive. Miami biggest problem have been health. If this team can stay healthy, they are always a problem. Move Herro back with the 2nd Unit, start Duncan, and Niko....You have a starting 5 of Terry, Duncan, Jimmy, Niko, and Bam. 2nd Unit of Herro, Love, Jaime, Richardson, Burke, Ware, Bryant, and whoever else they choose to play. Herro and Terry don't mix well together with their style of play....

Because the Heat is always offering players who are worthy, less than they deserve .. tired of this shit

Good news if you ask me. Thinking about giving that guy a 5 year deal was brutal.

Who do we have left in the talks? Brandon Ingram Zach Lavine Trae Young What we want but can't get: Spida: Signed with garbage franchise to waste his prime years Lauri: One word, Ainge Demar: Likely going to the kings :( Thats it, probably forgot more

The heat are experimenting on a bigger lineup when they picked ware and developed jokic. Jaquez is also an upgrade from Caleb. Heat wanted him to take caleb's spot if he improved. But boy he was amazing in rookie season. Let's just see how this goes fam

I smell like the Heat are up to something

Caleb Martin IS NOT supposed to be important as a swingman when you got a 24 mill pg and 30 mill sg. That means your getting something out of caleb that your two guards ARE NOT GIVING YOU. Your two best players at 50 MIL AND 35 MILL are undersized non 3pt shooters who rely on finding offense elsewhere. For the money your core makes, they are objectively not good enough

Maybe he wants to win a chip. The heat aren't getting any better.

More years security

I don’t have much of a problem losing him but I do fear that he’s the one that goes off against us in a playoff game

I’m just sad to see him go I really liked him on the team

We lost Vincent, Struss, Martin in a span of a year. Second straight L offseason

Why would any player take a five year deal right now with the new TV deal about to go in effect in the next two years. He’ll make more money with a shorter deal.

Great pick up from my sixers man morey is cooking ain’t he 🫠😤

Hurts to lose Caleb, he was one of my favorites but its time to move on

If he went to Philly for less money and power forward is not the best way he could be utilized, what is the reason he went there? I don't know, but maybe he likes the power forward starting position. I really don't think he was trying to spite the heat and take less money. What say you?

Didnt the heat have bird rights on caleb?

From a reputable source, the Heat wanted Caleb and Co. to opt in and got a 5-year contract that would've worth north of 60 M., but Caleb and his agent thought that they would've gotten more elsewhere. The moment Caleb opted out of his contract; the Heat couldn't offer him that kind of money anymore. So, the market went dry for him. As a result, his agent had to settle for less. BRILLIANT!!!

Let's go SIXERS. OUR SZN

are the 76ers the Heat's rival?

We’re glad you don’t like us bums, but we don’t really pay attention to the mid Miami fan base anyway. Heat Culture seems to be falling apart all of the sudden. Hopefully they aren’t turning into the new Marlins.

What’s new? that’s heat culture. They also lose gabe and max last yr. How can they sign caleb or the others when they overpaid drob and herro

CAP- CAP 😢He wanted security and to be locked 🔒 in 😮

Caleb should fire his agent cause that’s a bad move. Morey is known to be a liar so let’s see if Caleb will stay in that starting line up cause I can’t see that happening.

I’ve never said this but the Sixers are better than the Heat: Embiid >>> >>>Bam PG13 >Jimmy (except in the playoffs) Maxey>>>>>>>>> Rozier Caleb >>>>>> TBD Oubre

Like I said before, Rats jumping ship. They know the Iceburg is coming. They dont want to go down with the ship. With the moves Heat making, I cant blame them.😮😊

this is some megacope. Nurse is one of the few coaches in the NBA that is like Spo and can get a lot of very little he's not going to Darvin Ham lol. Also he signed per AAV exactly what he made with the heat just for more years. Bad job by both Caleb's agent and the heat.

if we paid him that much i would hate pat ! cause wtf is that
