Feels like Houston or someone is going to push infront of us here. But I hope I’m wrong.

THis is the beginning of more dynamic looks for the offense fueled by pairing this versatile frontcourt rotation with 3 pt shooting and speed.

I remember after the draft there was a set of posters that were speculating bout the jumbo line up, since it puts Niko in a more natural position.... I am not sure how many people were pointing out what this does for Bam on defense.

Bam has always been a great defender, but...we have all watched Bam chase some small dude around, while some other guy (lowery comes to mind) gets abused by another big.

We got a really small sample size....but...damn...in theory...Bam can go do Bam things on defense and just totally mess up some scorer's night and the team would still have legit length to cover the other team's bigs.

To have to fight around Bam all night, and then still have 2 7-ish foot guys lurking behind him......This might not be as big of a hit on defense then some have feared...


Maybe this is not a case of it can't work because Niko could struggle defending 2s and 3s, maybe it is a case this could work because Bam can be a wing defender....

If Miami is indeed where he wants to go, he has the path via FA in 26. Gives Miami huge leverage to put more on table.

A) We need to be the spot
B) Need to find way to route PHX picks to SAC.

This has the makings of a huge blockbuster swap.

This is Rileys last big move. Get it done Patrick!!!

Now is the perfect time as opposed to summer correct? We can extend him if we trade for him now I believe

Not sure but not going to be easy dealing for him with our limited draft capital. Need to open up some picks


Need a 2027 FRP from Jimmy trade ASAP!

If he won't extend after next season? How much wealth they giving up for a 1.5 season rental?

Yeah, there are rumors going around from SAC reporters that it's the Spurs. His wife is from there.

They crush any offer. I always had the Spurs as top dog. They can trade now and convince to stay. They have so many disposable assets.

Recee Fox

She grew up in San Antonio and attended Lady Bird Johnson High School and stopped playing high school basketball in her junior year to be homeschooled, Andscape reported. She said she continued conditioning with swimming and yoga to minimize the stress on her body and studied film. She also played basketball for her dad’s AAU team San Antonio’s Finest.


Sorry Bammy going to have to wait till 2026 if that

And Paul George's stripper baby momma is from Miami. And Beal's wife. And Gordon Hayward's wife loves Miami.

If Vegas moves SA to clear favorite then I'll lose hope. Until then, the game is on.
