Man Oubre and Wood have been so good to start the season, they would’ve been huge pick ups

Herro made a jump t looks like.

Bam and jimmy are proven studs.

Jaquez, highsmith and Bryant look very solid. Duncan playing well too.

The move to make is get rid of Unbearable Lowry and add a real scoring PG. Maybe Terry rozier, there are a lot of available upgrades out there - most backup guards are better then Lowry.

get a good guard next to Herro, Jimmy, Highsmith and Bam and this team can take off.

we havde depth, but we lack a legit PG.

I always liked Wood from ...there must be a reason no one wants to keep him around even now that he performs.

With what we currently have on the team I kinda want to see what RJ Hampton can give us next to Herro and Lowry stabilizing the second unit

Miami did a smart thing, they hired a top basketball mind in Riley and let him run everything with a few constraints with the money but that run is coming to an end with Riley at 78, maybe Spoelstra will take his place in a few years.

For me, I'd want my team's owner to not just be a rich person, but a rich person who understands how to build infostructure and that's what Bezos is great at, I'd also suspect he'd see value owning an NBA team and also owning Amazon Prime which has been working on getting into the live sports arena although I'm not sure how the digital rights work and what complications that could bring.

I don’t see Micky selling the team any time soon. However, one of the richest people in the world becoming an owner of your team can’t possibly be a bad thing.

I do think Spo will take over as team president. It’s the logical next step.

ESPN posted players with 150+ PTS, 30+ REB, and 30+ AST to start the season.

Luka

Jokic

Herro

Herro is on the path to being an all-star if he keeps this up.

So apparently Herro got bigger and faster and quicker and more explosive over the summer.

Doubt you see him this year unless massive injuries occur.

Yeah I was shocked the Heat didn't want them in particular Oubre when the Heat don't have a player of his body type/athletic ability on the roster. Borderline starter/6th man for minimum.....

Herro, Duncan and that new guy Bryant all looked decisive....kinda something we have not had a ton of recently.

Huh the Heat have Caleb, Jaquez and Highsmith all similar builds

I wanted Oubre but I understand they were stacked in that role. It would be redundant. You also have to understand how he would be utilized here.

Trade Lowry to PHX in a 3-team deal with Rozier coming to MIA.

In a small sample size, Duncan has returned to 21-22 form

This.

Oubre and Wood were great ideas had we traded for Dame and thus thinned out our rotations by sending out several players. With that said, for those wishing we had signed Oubre and Wood… who would you demote in the rotations to give them playing time?

As is, we are begging to see Jovic play more, and that is with players like Caleb already out of the rotation due to injuries.

With that being said, Wood does not seem like a clear upgrade to any of our current big man rotation and Oubre, while his current play would definitely seem better than some of the players we currently have in rotation, I can’t help but think it’s fools gold. Time will tell if Oubre can sustain his impact for the Sixers, but even then, would he have been a good fit for the Heat and Spo?

Duncan is looking really good out there! His movement and play is perfect for opening up lanes for others!
