As a Bam only stan somehow I vividly remember our series against the Hawks in 09 where it seemed like we just alternated blowout wins each game lol

Jimmy was mad Bam got paid and the Heat weren’t sure on paying him so that started a rift at the top between our 2 best players. Then Pats old ass had to drag Jimmy through the media and anyone with a brain knew that was the end of it. The disconnect all around was unfortunate and honestly completely unnecessary.

For years, we’ve heard that Bam is better than players like Jaren Jackson, Mobley, Sabonis, and others.
Now it’s time for him to step up, put together a high-scoring game, and at least secure a win for the rest of the series.

Totally agree. If only Tobin hadn’t asked that question, Jimmy might still be here. I’m sure they were still trying to extend him during those 2 meeting, but by then, the bridges were already burned.

Bam is better than all those guys and has the track record already to prove it. They’re not on his level, the unproven players are the guys you just named and for us, Herro. I know I saw a bunch of fans saying Herro was better than Mitchell this year, well, let’s see it. If both Bam and Herro don’t win their matchup in the same night a win likely isn’t coming (especially if Ty Jerome is outplaying him), not with this level of supporting cast unless they all just catch fire during one of our home games. We’ll see what happens

We'll see, if Ty Jerome can continue to do a Bryn Forbes against us, who outplayed Jimmy all series.

Watch Fears or someone that would have been good for us fall to what would have been our pick and end up on OKC. The chest hurt. phuck KZ and Terry.

But also the situation is helping him. He's the no 2 option with far less responsibilities on offense. He can pick his spots. In Miami he would have had to do a ton more. And I don't think he could for 4 straight playoff rounds at his age.
I don't think staying here, would have yielded Heat any success. It was probably best for him long term to move. And also for the Heat. Heat are just in transition period which will look a ugly. But the team had to move on or be okay with 2nd round exit ceiling
