2024-25 Regular Season Thread Vol. 2

I think the warriors are aiming big, they just made a huge pickup and kept all their 1sts and Kuminga. They can swing big and they’ll be monitoring Jimmy and LeBron

LeBron only gets moved if he wants to be moved. I have a hard time seeing that happen. He wanted to be in LA for a reason.

And I don't think the Warriors have the assets to land both him and Bronny.

Haha yea I agree I think they’ll go hard after Jimmy but there’s been a lot of LeBron rumors and the Lakers are ass so you never know

ELITE player, hopefully he gets the credit he deserves from the fan base one day

What do you all think about the idea of Jaime fetching 2 1sts from a team with loads of 1st round picks? Someone like OKC who could easily fit him into their salary cap to bolster their depth and young core and have like 16 1sts. Utah, SA, Houston also have double digit picks and are building young cores, why not take the sure thing in Jaime?

Also, depending on the years of the picks could it potentially give us 4 tradable 1sts?

It would be easier if he was playing better.

Bam has been better recently on the offensive end, no doubt. Maybe not overlook the guy putting up 26 ppg and 5.5 assists on an absurd 77% TS over the last 4 games. That impact goes far beyond a few DHOs Bam is running and demands constant defensive attention

He would fetch two picks alright, just going to be 2 x 2nd rounders;
I don't mind flipping him + Terry for some solid backup big like Valančiūnas, would make sense for the Wizards as Jaime still has potential, but it looks rough when he is shooting 3s into a hoop that looks like a tiny keyhole.

He’s the entire defense and a massive portion of the offense, it’s not a contest lmao you can appreciate what he’s done and it not be a knock to your boy lol

Jaime in no way shape or form fetches 2 first round picks. Jaime gained some late hype in that draft and he projected as a Heat culture older prospect ready to contribute now type pick with capped upside. He’s a solid attachment player to Rozier trying to upgrade for a ready now vet. Maybe Collins is that player. I would probably try and offer Jovic first though in trade due to his contract coming up sooner than Jaime.

Interesting, what would you take be prior to this season? We’re talking about a guy who was like 3rd or 4th best for his class on a cheap deal.

I’m down on Jaime and thought I’d be down more than most as I remember people on here last year saying he would average 25 PPG one day and all this other nonsense

Jaime was supposed to be a second round pick who climbed up boards at the end. Imo he’s more of solid rotation player rather than a potential superstar. I think the Heat drafted him as much but seemed last year to exceed expectations only to come back down to earth this year. His shot is not pure but does a lot of little things well when he’s on. Good slasher and has some crafty post moves but nothing that blows you away. Solid young rotation player who has value but not overvalued in the trade market. Is Gradey Dick worth 2 1st rd picks who was taken at 13 in that same draft? Nope not even close

Jaime has been our worst shooter this season, hitting only 27%, while Jimmy and Bam have been much better.

What happened to his shooting? He might need to follow Duncan’s example and cut back on posting on IG.

Worst draft pick cupboard in the league right now. That’s why it’s damn near impossible to get anything done.

Lol, no sane person expected Jaime to average 25 ppg! Butler has never averaged that!!
His game was similar to Jimmy and in a couple years when Jimmy retires or moves on, some people expected Jaime to duplicate Jimmy's production (regular season, not the playoff Jimmy, ofc)

I still think if he gets featured more, he can put up better numbers without hurting the team. Hate to throw him in a trade if we cannot bring in a better talent

He's a lite version of Butler. I could see running some offense through him and him being able to put up 20 a night near his peak. He just doesn't have an easy scoring ability needed to be a bigtime scorer, he like Butler has to work for his scoring.

Houston got taken out by OKC. They could sure use a guy like Butler.
