There's nothing Butler is better at than Wiggins, other than being a better playoff player (if he is healthy in the playoffs)

Wiggins is healthier, younger, a better regular season player, a better shooter, even a better defender, makes at least $20 million less and not toxic.

Wiggins+Schroder and a pick is a pretty good deal for the Heat. Even without the pick, it's a good deal.

There’s a lot that Jimmy is better at than Wiggins. Jimmy may be leaving on a very sour note, but let’s not be silly. Jimmy is on another level completely to Wiggins.

Schroeder has gone from a above average PG at the Nets to worse than Terry Rozier on a 500. team.
With GSW 10.6ppg on 37% FG and 32% from 3 in 26mins, he's basically done the Terry cycle. And he's just as ball dominant. This would be Scary Movie 2 potentially,

I'm still hoping Orlando swoops in for a KCP and Isaac for Jimmy trade the Heat would have enough D and 3point shooting to be a problem in annoying the higher seeds.

If Ishbia trades KD for that Warriors garbage trade him and Nico should sit down and have a beer together.

Bruh. Some Heat fans are really in a dream world.
No one has seen another level for 2 seasons. The last game Jimmy played really well was about a year ago. I wrote above the reasons why Wiggins is better. Jimmy is about a year away from being completely washed up. We are very lucky because Phoenix is ​​too aggressive for him.

He is an expiring. We won't have any losses.

Wiggins + expirings and draft compensation would be fine by me.

-He’s an upgrade on Jagsmith at SF
-Moveable contract, unlike Beal we would have flexibility to add pieces

Its better than the trash PHX can offer and sends Jimmy west

I think the main pt is Wiggins is not a bad return for losing a disgruntled Jimmy. And in REGULAR season idk if Jimmy has been on another level for several years.

Return to Miami Heat
