If Minny makes it to the Finals, its going to be a **** show for Boston. Kristaps going down game 1. Horford and his ELITE defense is going to be taxed.

Once Nuggets GM dropped that comment about Bruce Brown, I knew it was just a matter of time before life dropped the Uno Reverse card on them.

They got a summer to reflect

Speaking of Bruce Brown. I think i found a home for Herro in Toronto lol

The Towns-Tatum is the only matchup I worry, and Boston should take advantage of that. Fortunately, we have Naz Reid to take care of that.

I dont like the move. We were a bottom 10 offense. I'm not in favour of giving up Herro for a non scorer. Goal this summer should be getting elite offensive scoring whether its a big man or a guard or a wing. After you solve that, then you worry about the other pieces.
Not saying keep Herro. he will get moved. But the aim should be improving the offense

Even Dallas rebuilt there front court with Lively, Gafford, and PJW. Our front office has to really think about what the hell they are doing moving forward. UD was spitting facts about moving Bam to the 4

You’re gonna end up running it back with Herro. The scoring is going to have to come from Rozier and the young guys making a leap. Also hope we can draft a scorer. Rebuild the front court then let everything else fall into place. If we keep trying for a magical unicorn star trade with Herro we are going to keep going full circle

The Heat beat plenty of bigger teams in just the past few years. League always going to be about talent and match-ups.

‘The League is changing…’ is a red herring for the fact that all teams are going to work to match-up with the current champs. We need to get our talent up and folks need to contend someday with the fact that Bam being small is part of what has made us successful in certain matchups, not all on Spo

This actually goes back to the Whiteside days. We had a chance to fast track Bam’s development at what should be his natural position but Spo refused to play two bigs together. Despite Bam and Whiteside raving about their chemistry in practice, we never saw them in games. Spo (and fans) have prototyped undersized “3 and D” guys as ideal partners with Bam, or the goofy one dimensional shooters like Olynyk and Leonard. We have to get bigger, and one of the best ways to do that is sliding Bam down ala KAT.

Bam has been excellent for us. Imagine him with legit bigs to play next to. Might work eh? Guess we could still max out with Bam playing with 6'5" post players and talk about how far we reached.

They have Gafford and we have Bryant, Love, and O Robinson at backup Center. Really sad roster build we have going on

Don’t worry, Clint or Jarrett are coming with Trae or Mitchell while Bam and Jimmy will flirt with 40% from 3 on 4-5 attempts a game
