It does suck... but it's a sweetener to get KG if you had to include Bam. Do you give up Lowry to get back Simmons? It's an interesting thought vs going forward as not good enough and at that point maybe it's time to move Butler.

Miami is just going to have to get creative, that’s what Andy is for

I’m starting to feel like we’re the favorites for Durant. Obviously need this Ayton stuff resolved asap

I'm just teasing tho, y'all. My mind/heart set on Millsap

Who are the NBA players that came back from back injuries in peak physical form for the long haul. Legit wondering

2 minute google search: Lebron, Embiid, Bill Walton... Maybe more...

Absolutely agree. As if Pat Riley wants his first Klutch client in 8 years to be that hot mess

They all had back issues serious enough to miss a season and require surgery? I don’t think that’s right. Let’s deal in facts here. If our takeaways from those facts differ that’s fine, but let’s not act make fake realities.

I’m happy the organization relayed to Barry Jackson that Bam has not been discussed for Durant. They have to keep these fires tamed. Everyone on the Heat right now aside from Butler and now Bam has to be feeling the trade winds.

No reason to keep Herro at this point for big $$ given he’s not even a starter.

I would love to be proven wrong about the Riley and Klutch beef but as of now I have about 8 years worth of history of our organization not dealing with Paul since he embarrassed Riley and Elisburg in Vegas. Not even a free agent interview with any of his clients or a draft visit. Think about that

Any trade that happens without Bam means Lowry has to be in it right? The money just doesn't work out if one of Jimmy, Lowry or Bam doesnt go

I agree doubtful on this one.

Riley is gonna have to mend his relationship with Klutch at some point because it seems like they represent 50% of the league and growing

Lowry has to go without a doubt.

Did we just forget bam absolutely clamping Embiid in games 5 & 6 in blowout wins?

I will reserve that until I see him shut down a healthy Embiid, when Embiid is healthy its usually not the case.

See my post after that showing him clamping basically the top 3 players on every team we played in the playoffs. This season.

I am just grinding your gears for the hell of it, I am a big Bam believer, i fought a bunch of people on the general board on his impacts based on advance stats. You Don't have to sell me on him, ive seen all his advanced stats he is super important to the teams identity.

Your goalpost pushing has got me to waste half an HR looking for random statistics on Google, bravo

Not even a handful of examples of folks to have undergone back surgeries with the same stature, but yea', if cherry-picked facts are the ones that you're looking for-- you got it, Bam is waaaay better
