Off-Season Volume 6 - The One Where Someone (Darius Days) Signs

[Timantha]

What are the odds that this tweet is talking about what we are discussing in our threads here (and 3ammy as the lone 'Nay' vote)

Either way, very little chance this actually happened and I doubt anyone told Ira about it. Which other team is putting their franchise player on the table for KD ... Booker? Zion? Barnes? Halliburton? Lillard? I don't know who the franchise player for NYK would be, but they don't even want to trade RJ freaking Barrett and we have articles written about whether we should make Bam available or not

I’d say Bam is probably one of the most untouchable players in the league

i dont understand why heat fans think bam is untouchaable... zero offensive game, and all he can really do is defend. we need to stop overrating our own players. if we can get KD for 3+ seasons at 34 for bam, im taking it. that could get us 2 titles before KDs starts to show his age. We can win this trade against brkn too, because no one is offering them anything we could offer Bam + one 1st Rounder pick and say take it or leave it. we could keep herro and put an insane offensive lineup of lowry/herro/jimmy/kd... just would need to find a good center, remember the miami heat big 3? we used all kinds of centers and we still found success.

We all know KD is better than Bam, but a lot of people are also scared of the small title window. KD and Jimmy are injury prone and then you have to factor in Lowry's age. We would need a very lucky playoff run where no one gets injured. Also once Jimmy and KD start declining, we're gonna be capped out with little control over our picks. With Bam, at least we have someone for the next generation. You mentioned trading Bam + one 1st rd pick for KD. That's impossible because of Ben Simmons. Why would the Nets move Ben Simmons and KD just for Bam and a pick? We would have to add Herro and more picks to make it fair lol

Exactly! Bam is so overated among some heat fans. I will ask this question again: If Bam is a star in this league then..Why are we all looking to trade for another star?

What Tf kind of logic is this? “If Bam is a star why are we trying to trade for KD without giving up Jimmy and Bam because he listed us as one of 2 teams he wants to play for?!”

Are we just supposed to skip on a top 5 player currently and top 25 to ever play the game just because Bam and Jimmy are elite lol? Are we just supposed to skip out on KD Mitchell and Kyrie level guys when they have interest in being here and not try to find ways to improve?

I was wondering where you ignorant Bam haters had been hiding, learn the game!!!

“Hey Pat, LeBron wants to join Miami this summer too”

Pat: “nah we already have Wade and Bosh, I’ll pass”

What kind of logic is this? I need an explanation

Yall need to give up on Turner. He's not an actual floor spacing big.

I'm not looking at Turner as any sort of savior or even a probable target but if he's not a floor spacing big than who is? He's a career 35% shooter from 3 on 2.5 attempts. For reference, recent floor spacers we've used in the front court: Olynyk 37% on 3 attempts, Myers Leonard 39% on 2 attempts. I know who isn't a floor spacer

Big 3s really don’t exist though in todays nba. It’s really not too much to demand more from Bam when he’s getting paid top dollar to perform offensively like a superstar should consistently

Who gives a damn if there aren’t many big 3s. We just say no to adding KD for the hell of it? Because there aren’t many big 3s in the league?

To him God kills a puppy each time somebody says Bam is overrated & isn’t untouchable

[3ammy3uck3ts]

We shouldn’t do whatever we possibly can to better the team and better our chances to win a championship because we already have Bam and Jimmy and that should be enough as it is?

I’m honestly just trying to understand what kind of logic this is lol

[wade44]

So there’s only one spot on the roster left which will be used for Haslem? Maybe we should use our “depth” in a trade to get us a first rounder or two especially with all these guys looking for paydays next season

Damn Spo's little kid had cancer. He was going through a lot this past regular season

Pat agrees with me. We’re doing all we can to not trade him for arguably the best player in the world and some of you think your hot takes are justified

No it’s just that it’s not feasible. While we’re under the Jimmy window we need Bam to be our second guy consistently in the short term unless we somehow land a Hail Mary trade for a third star

Damn, that’s heavy af. I’m surprised Spo didn’t miss more time on that basis. Perhaps staying busy and in routine helped distract from negative thoughts.

Hope the little one is pulling through, thoughts with The Spo’s!

Can't help but wonder if this had something to do with how Spo reacted to Butler in that dust up. Anyway, well said Wiltmod, hope everything works out well for the little one and the Spo fam.

Bam has been our 2nd guy, im sorry you have a short sighted view of that directly correlating to PPG but it’s far more than that. We’ve been to a finals and now we’re 1 shot away from our 2nd appearance in 3 years. There’s nothing wrong with adding another piece to get us over the hump.

It is feasible, when you factor in Herro Jovic and our ability to produce 4/5 picks there will be something out there you can get done.

It’s the offseason. People are speculating. It’s hilarious to see you spaz out in your feelings about your beloved bam you player fan boys are a trip

Read on Twitter

Apparently a Sun's reporter reported this on the radio. If we lose KD to a Mikal Bridges + Cam Johnson package

It's not a PPG issue though we needed him to step it up a notch offensively in the playoffs and he did not consistently. Jimmy was the only offensive weapon with Herro being a no show. Thats not writing Bam off as an all around player it's just saying we need more from him being paid as a second superstar. Whether we can produce that many picks has yet to be seen yet
