I guess we can offer “Mobley” in the KD package :lol:

Good thing we didn't get him in the draft. Kelel Ware is much better

KD to Houston is probably a done deal. On to the next.

I doubt we would have even considered him even if he was there. He is not the type of center spoelstra looks for.. the centers/power forward he likes can stretch the floor and have the lateral movement to blitz the pick and roll, basically his type of center is Chris Bosh.

Edey is an excellent rebounder of the ball, because hes tallest guy on the court 95% of the time… but i mustve counted at least 10 rebounds that he let slip away yesterday that hit his tiny hands and either they slapped the ball away from him or they ripped it out of his grip..

That along with he has no offensive game…

Sad but potentially true. That's why I hope we lose tonight. We can't control who becomes available or who will trade with us or who wants to come here. But we can control our draft pick and for the most part we draft damn well. Imagine drafting a herro and ware type contributors with our and GSW picks in this draft. I'm excited.

Even got a shot at a top 4 dude. Could change everything. Hopium for the masses babyyyy.

I’m fine either way because it would be nice to have two picks this year, but would also be nice to not owe two unprotected picks.

Trading for AD should be an option

Kyle Anderson is doing a good job lately on not forcing things and just keeping the flow of offense good, but Jovic will have minutes vs the Cavs if we get there.

Wiggins needs to do the same. There were a couple of times Wiggins held the ball for too long and over dribbled. And 20 shots is too much if he hasn't going. He needs play like a role player within the offense. Slash & cut to the rim, catch and shoot and the occasional iso when he's a small guard.

Nah. NBA players make terrible analyst. No disrespect to Butler, but interms of basketball IQ, Lebron is way ahead and its not close. And I'll have Wade ahead of Butler too.

Those 2 are just way better playmakers in the half court than Wade.

I don’t think we will see him again this season. Been out too long and the stakes are high. Love to be wrong, but Spo gonna Spo.

I love Udonis but thats some clown **** he said there.. and yes, jimmy has high basketball IQ.. but over lebron and wade? The tapes dont lie, and there are countless evidence dating back since 2004 of Wade and Lebron.

Lets put the most ridiculous argument aside which would be jimmy vs lebron… lebron is among the all time greats when it comes to basketball IQ..

How do you think Dwyane Wade, a 6’4 guard with shoes on, with a mediocre three point range because that was not the game they played in his era, who was also among the greatest shot blockers for his position, and went to 5 nba finals, won 3 of them, was able to accomplish everything he did. Was voted in the NBA 75.

You think he streetballed his way to accomplish his gigantic resume? He is among the smartest players to play the game. Right there with Jordan, with Kobe. He had no choice but to use that as an advantage because his size and what he was tasked to do physically required the basketball IQ.

Jimmy is definitely smart, but UD you could just say Jimmy is smart without making the dumb and unnecessary comparisons

I hope udonis haslem isnt turning into kendrick perkins.. anytime these players go onto television they feel the need to be this shock jock personality and say outrageous ****

Another postseason comes, another postseason where Sabonis empty regular season numbers make 0 difference when the games really matter. 0 defense, doesn’t score mostly unless he’s point blank under the rim, etc. Stop saying these clowns like Sabonis/JJJ are better than Edrice.
