Dru is a damn phucking pro. Mad respect

[Wiltside]

Another EZ W for OP

Nice to see my boy Niko get some run and play well.

Jaime is a problem though. He looks way out of sorts.

[marson]

Jimmy didnt play the whole 4th?! Did he get hurt?

Cause he was not playing hard that entire game

Game was over already.

Ideal world is Larrson takes over for JJJ allowing us to move him for an upgrade at another spot. We have to give up something in order to get

I kinda have to agree. I trust Larsson shooting way more.

Keep in mind we also have winger Josh Christopher playing out of his mind in the G league and has true 1st rd talent pedigree. We have solid depth at the wing spot that should allow us to move JJJ to upgrade at a position of need. I like JJJ too but eventually we have to consolidate a bit.

MWP ill be surprised if JJJ gets traded after they said he was the best player on that Olympic training team besides Cooper Flagg.

Jaime needs to find a home where he can just play SF in peace. Jazz next to Markkanen might be good spot for him.

He plays a position we have a ton of depth at that should be desirable for other teams in trade. If it brings in a mid to late 20’s solid vet in there prime and gives this core a chance to make a deep run they shouldn’t shy away. I preface that i really like JJJ and just scuffling a bit in his second year. He’s being bounced around positionally too much

[3ammy3uck3ts]

I guarantee a win tonight.

Never a doubt, 4 in a row and I’m not stopping now.

Bam over this stretch 19-13-7-1-1 55/33/71 shooting splits. Point Bam has put the ball in his hands more and had him more comfortable, still need improvement from 3 and free throw percentages

Foxs Heat debut?

Still have the elephant in the room to answer and if Butler is still here in the next 15 games.

If he gets traded, then we have to throw away that championship aspiration and just develop our young guys.

Jaime is a lot better than this. Theres something going on. Inconsistent role maybe. Maybe fatigued from all the ball hes played.

Agreed. If Butler is traded then the 3 spot is open for JJJ and Larrson to battle it out. The more we continue to get over the .500 mark the less likely Butler is dealt

It seems like he has heavy legs no doubt

Glad to see Bam's number coming back now, should be our 2nd/3rd scorer every night, not Terry.

He’s gonna end up taking Duncan’s spot in the starting lineup.

Yeah some of you are a little overreactive when it comes to these young guys. Jaquez is having a sophomore slump, it happens. You don't gotta punt on him that quick just cause another old rookie is playing well. Odds are Larrson will have a slump next season too after teams key in on his weaknesses. Are we gonna be talking about trading him away too then? The things that matters are if they adjust and rebound going forward after that.

Also, Christopher looks good, but how does he exactly fit on this team? What role would he actually play? Cause he isn't gonna be the star offensive player on the Heat.

So we just continue to run it back over and over and over. Eventually we have to shore up some of the weak spots on this team. Not questioning his worth but it would be nice to try and get a true scoring impact 4 on this team. Or do we just keep running small guys like JJJ and Highsmith out of position at that spot cause we are afraid to trade anybody in the name of giving up on them. We have two young pieces we can trade for upgrades in Jovic and JJJ. If we refuse to trade anybody of worth nobody is going to do us any favors solely trading for Rozier or Robinson.
