I wonder if he was talking about mobile. This site is not usable on mobile because of incessant ads


for mobile, use Brave browser, it blocks ads by itself. Problem solved.

I do believe The "gambles" we took on getting KD and D.Mitchell were justified - They would've been great here.

We couldn't get it done which is disappointing, but chit happens.

What ISN'T justified are the HORIBBLE contracts we gave Lowry and Duncan - they're crippling us big time and those were a self inflicting wound.

HUGE mistakes by the front office - and both looked super suspect before they were signed. No reason a smart front office gives those contracts, they were clearly very likely to become very toxic very fast.

They did it to themselves with those moves.

Now I'm not sure there' a way to fix this chit roster around Bam and Jimmy, Really not sure it's possible.

Not realistically-- Jimmy's just competing for the sake of competing rn, and we're waiting for capspace to clear up

Lowry expires next year so it's not that bad chill. Duncan is not unplayable in a certain system. Things are not so dire. We will see.

Can't understand continued criticism of our front office for going all in on KD & Mitchell. Spida balling in Cle too - imagine him here. It's a damn shame.

I can understand the contracts we gave Lowry & Duncan. I'm certain many other organisations wld have done the same. Players get paid too much, too early now days why are we surprised an NBA champion/elite PG, even at his age, isnt going to get paid! What we didn't anticipate was his lack of hunger & commitment to his fitness, game & chase for another title. Duncan was also shooting out of his mind - in a shooters league where shooters are highly sort after no surprise we paid him. 99% of teams wld've done the same. What we didn't anticipate was Duncan suddenly losing his nuts.

It is what it is w/ our decisions. Out of the entire league we've been one of the most successful franchises who have consistently made better decisions than most. Just way too many spoilt fans, arm-chair coaches & wanna be general managers/directors that think this is instant-rings....like we just pour water & we get titles over night. We're going to make mistakes just like we're going to lose along the way. Trade machines have reg cats think they're fit to run a million dollar oragnisation.

I ride w/ our Coach, FO, players. Again it's not about rings solely for me. It's the process. I'm still enjoying our season. We have 3 championship banners on our rafters (almost half the league has zero) that let's me know we can do this again. But it's not going to be every season, every year.
If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade
