They grew up and became billionaires. :nod:
We have the chance with XRP.


Yeah buddy. My boys hit me with .10 screenshots of me telling them to tap and lock it up. I honestly can't believe it hit $3 again especially since outside of BTC this hasn't been a great cycle for the OGs and last cycles stars.

Slo Mo was at his best playing off the Minny bigs. He struggled in the Warriors system. Spo is going to unlock him as a connector again with Bam and Ware.


He’s a great fit, better not take away from Niko’s development though

You don’t want that issue. Dude’s a head case. Not Heat material.
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

Tell them to buy some servers for RealGM, lol

I think RealGm value is upwards of 200k if I’m not mistaken, so for a billionaire it’s small potatoes.

Damn Dray just got wacked. I can smell #11.


The more I think about this trade we really really upgraded specifically against Boston. Like Bam and Wiggins are gonna be on the Js.

It is down a bit currently, but big generational things coming. The stars are aligned.

Rabid defender. Not very good offensively but doesn't really need to be. He's a solid PG

Would you say he's a mini Justice Winslow? :D

Also the Miami white boys (hardest in the L)will kill Boston's

kyle Anderson is Joe Ingils minus the elite 3 point shooting he's got excellent IQ and was a way above average defender

Exactly.
Against Boston, their size and our midget ball was such a criminal disadvantage, but now we are taller, athletic and match them skill wise unlike before.

Chalm Down, Iggie, HWR, Kangaroo, DefenseWins, etc. They all moved on. Oh well, weve got a strong crew here now. Even the old heads are coming back.


Remember when the Raps board caught wind of our shenanigans and they all joined in on the fun for a while lol some of us would post there too

Ooops, not worth, but generates about $200k a year. But of course these number were over 5 years old. ( of course I read it somewhere ). The site itself I think is worth over $2000,000.

I hope I'm wrong, but we are about to get crushed by 15-20 points easy.

Slomo Anderson would be our Spurs Boris Diaw.
