Super old report lol dude must be bored

Yeah the report is pure garbage. Bam has to figure out on a nightly basis how to cover for two front court spots to appease Spo. It’s super human what he’s asked to do. Get him a real front court partner already and who ever is bitching about him not doing enough if there is one in the organization needs to go kick rocks and stop trying to reinvent the game of basketball by playing 4 guard out lineups with Bam.


This and he doesn’t get near the credit he deserves. Not even top 10 in fan voting right now. Im legit getting worried about his future here. It’s bad enough we wasted 2 years of his offensive development in favor of the DHO merchants

I’m not concerned about his future as he’s cut from the heat lifer cloth and most likely wants to walk the path of UD and carry the torch. We do need to fix the problem in the front court sooner rather then later then continuing to say players need to do more. The front office needs to do more

I hope your right but we’ll see if that holds up when Tatum/Brown Mitchell/Garland/Mobley Fox/Monk/Sabonis start recruiting him :o

Pat better maximize this roster

Bam is the least of our problems. He has leveled up. The middy in the paint is pure money, and teams are having a hard time stopping him. The switch flicked for him a month or so ago.

Herro is building. Had been playing exceptionally well until the Lakers game. He’s younger though, turns 23 later this month. I’m not gonna argue with 21/6/4 on 45%.

Honestly, outside of Jimmy’s health, our top 3 guys have been excellent. It’s the rest of this chit show of a roster that’s the reason we’re a .500 ball club.

They saved around 4 million dollars of luxury tax with that move.

Bam’s an all star this season but I can’t say I’m surprised he’s not getting the props he deserves around the league. That’s what happens when you play for an underachieving, lacking luster team like the Heat

Will he even be selected? It goes by team success and assuming we are a sub .500 team it's hard to make a case for him. Ironically it's best for the team if he gets snubbed and he goes out on fire for the rest of the season.

This is assuming he doesnt get voted in.

What timely fashion? Because he didn’t do a damn thing down the stretch last night


He's slowing but he has his games where he's contributing.

I would agree if the Heat were way out of the playoff picture. But Heat are only 6.5 games behind first place in the east almost halfway through. As bad as we’ve looked, yes I think Bam will get in but definitely not on the basis of wins and losses

The last thing we need is for our star to be reminded he’s never going to get the recognition he deserves playing here by him missing another all star game lol. Hell get in though

Then he should be making $10M and not $30M.

Imo, Herro slowly having the ball more in his hands in the starting lineup changed Lowry's role and production. Look at his usage the past 4 games Image

Earlier in the season, Herro was playing more off-ball with Lowry and Lowry was playing better. His USG rate was around 17-20% at that time

Something like that. The heat will be off after next season

No way in hell Ainge is dealing Lauri to the Heat man. You actually thought for a minute he was going to gift wrap Mitchell to us. Ainge most likely has Pat Riley on a list of making sure he calls 29 other teams around the NBA before having to deal with that old man. Ainge stumbled onto a great white super star that's built for the long term in Utah. He's not letting him go.

Why does it always seem the Heat are one contract expiration away from being able to sign a great player, only to then get more bad contracts?
Proud embarrassment
