The Heat cannot refuse to be involved in the vortex of "deal rumors", but fortunately they will deny the rumors if necessary

Earlier, in the "Ask Ira" question and answer column of Sun Sentinel reporter Ira Winderman, an old Heat fan asked: Since many of the "trading rumors" that are flying all over the sky are unfounded, can the Heat stay away from this situation?

In response, Ira replied: The league needs rumors to keep the heat popular, and the Heat cannot refuse to participate in this situation. Fortunately, the Heat will now deny the rumors when necessary: ​​

fan "Eddie" asked:

"Ira, I am old and I still remember that only Peter Vishi was the only source of rumors back then. There was little movement before the transaction or signing approached. Now everyone calls themselves "internal sources", making it seem like the Heat will miss all players in the world. Can we not participate in this farce?

Ira answered:

Answer: Of course not. In the media universe created by Adam Xiaohua, rumors will only increase the attention of the league, allowing him to make the offseason, regular season and playoffs Package marketing together. Some people who are called "insiders" are really interesting today, including those who convey information to each other (in the end they often trace to the original ones who spoke, and the other party denies: "I haven't said that").

But you're right, this carnival has already begun - even if Woj himself has turned to other fields, if the Heat fails to sign the next name thrown by Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kevin Durant or the "insider" casually, the outside world will still render it a failure.

It is commendable that the Heat will clarify the outrageous rumors through behind-the-scenes channels when necessary, especially those that are simply impossible to achieve under the salary cap, luxury tax or hard salary cap.

[Editor's Note] I feel very pleased to see Ira's statement.

Since the Heat official contacted me in March 2023, I knew that the league needed this "rumor-ridden" atmosphere:

However, with my efforts, the team has still revised its strategies for responding to rumors. In the past two years, you have also seen a lot of news from the Heat that took the initiative to refute rumors:

In the past two years, I have often seen some negative comments about me in the domestic Heat fan circle, such as "washing Riley", "knowing to refute rumors every day", "taking myself as a character", "licking the Heat management", etc. .

Although these evaluations will affect my mood for a long time, they will not shake my determination to a whole set of practices. As you have seen, many things in the Heat and the fan group are improving - this is not something that everyone can get together to vent their emotions, "let Riley die early", and "XXX don't have to sit still anymore":

At the end of this article, I want to tell all Heat fans: Don't hope that the Heat's team's operation direction will suddenly be greatly adjusted, and there are many involvements at the club level (click the blue link to view related content: The reason why the Heat hardly chooses the "pull down and start over" strategy: will, business and business environment ). If I cannot accept this situation, I sincerely recommend changing the home team or finding a second home team.

Although I cannot guarantee the "loyalty" of fans at the level of "grandfathers and grandma", I will be one of the group of people who will stick to the end.
