It’s the details that oftentimes make a big difference. Bam kills me with this in particular. Just keep the ball up high and take off.

Its fundamental.

Goldin has been compared to Isiah Hartenstein.

Boy, would that be a perfect outcome;)

If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

Goldin fan since birth.



ohhh we got that dude? niceeee. the fan base been asking for the FO to pick a direction so whether it was by their choice or lack of assets they decided to go with the youth so now we can see if they are worth anything instead of speculating. We are always kind of slow with player development and by the time they show signs of something its year 4 and extension time. if they hit a few sports center highlights hopefully the phone starts ringing with an offer we cant refuse or we extend them

Peeps losing their chit all the time.

Bcuz Riley didnt get 37 year old Durant? Thats what did it?

I wasnt giving up Ware for Durant either.

I love our young guys. We were basically gifted Ware and Kas bcuz other teams r dumb. That should be worth getting excited over in itself.

I dont deep dive anymore, but I was def repping getting a backup big in the 2nd round. Kalkburner and Raynaud were the highest rated.

After watching Goldin, I think we got what we needed. Reeeeeally hope he proves himself and sticks.

How pumped would you guys be if Miami actually embraced a full youth movement and traded Bam for 5FRPs?

KP/DMitchell
Herro/Larrson
Jaime/Highsmith
Jovic/Keshad
Ware/Vlad

Throw Jaime, Jovic, and Ware into the fire and see what they can produce. We'd have 3 FRPS of ours + 5 FRPs from the Bam trade + whatever we acquired from trading Wiggins and Rozier. Probably would win like 20-25 games and get a top 5 pick in next year's draft, and we'd have a better idea of how much money we'd want to pay money to Jaime and Jovic moving forward.


This will never happen but fun to think about lol.

I had our lineup after trading Bam and Herro looking like:

Ware/Goldin
Boozer/Jovic
Dybantsa/JJJ
Peterson/Larsson
Davion/Kasparas

That is super fun to think about;)

Personally I would love it because we chose a direction and fully committed to it Instead of trying to do 2 things at once and accomplishing neither.
