"Per Heat insider Barry Jackson, here are the full "10 commandments" that the organization considers part of its core philosophy: 1. Never trade good players for future draft picks2. Never give up on a season3. Do not accept taking a step back with the hope that it could lead to better days ahead4. Go all in for an all-time great player but be very selective about pursuing other good players5. Do not make a trade simply for the sake of making a trade6. Don't give up on a roster prematurely7. Don't try to sell high on players8. Bam Adebayo is essentially untouchable9. Maintain roster/payroll flexibility if possible10. Don't worry about losing a free agent for nothing"
"The Heat's front office is living in the past There are so many places to start when it comes to what's wrong or outdated with the way the front office operates, but these "10 commandments" do help explain a lot of how the front office has operated of late. It's not necessarily an excuse, but and indictment."
The Miami Heat operate under ten organizational commandments that prioritize retaining proven players, avoiding trades for future draft picks, and preserving roster and payroll flexibility. The principles include refusing to accept short-term setbacks, avoiding trades just for activity, protecting Bam Adebayo as essentially untouchable, and being selective about pursuing star players. The doctrine accepts the risk of losing free agents rather than sacrificing current assets. Those priorities help explain conservative behavior at the trade deadline and limited pursuit of major targets such as Donovan Mitchell, Kevin Durant, and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
