I largely agree, but no Herro extension + Bam sharing an agent with Giannis + Bam being Captain and Culture Guy = I don't think the Heat view it the same way

Y’all are crazy with the trade talks. We look like a legit contender and our best player hasn’t even stepped on the court.
For a long time it gave me nightmares,witnessing an injustice like that.It’s a constant reminder of just how unfair this world can be.I can still hear them taunting him, Silly Rabbit tricks are for kids.I mean why couldn’t they just give him some cereal?

Some posters are simply too star struck they dont understand you still have to be able to construct a team

Everyone was depressed coming in to the year. Now, after 3 games, its obvious we are the best team in the league.

No looking back.

Naw, Mia would have enough ammo to go after another player though to pair with Giannis.


If you trade Herro bam and picks what ammo do you have and what level of player does it land you?


Don’t know. Would need to see who is available around the deadline.

For salary, Wiggins can be moved as the primary bulk and some of the young guys and whatever left over picks can be packaged together to make an attractive offer.

Also, hypothetically, if Mia moved both Bam and Herro for Giannis, they’d likely get another player back in that deal (unless an additional team got involved) thus that player could also be included.

I think many feel this way because they're worried about who gets the short end of the stick minutes wise when he comes back, how it affects the rotations and how the starting unit is definitely better defensively without Herro.

We have to wait and see what happens but the concerns aren't just out of nowhere theres merit to them.

It's very early but so far it looks like he would be redundant with us having Powell now but that might be a knee jerk reaction have to see what happens.

I think it is a little early to call Kasparous our best player, he may not even be an NBA caliber player, but okay

No GM in the entire league, in europe, in australia, in china, the african basketball leagues, in any basketball league in Mars, has Herro valued higher or anywhere in the same level or breath as Bam.

Good lord, i cant believe that HAS to be said

And another thing.. Giannis and Bam have a lot better chance of co existing together than Powell and Herro.. not to mention our defense only gets better by adding another guy that can guard 1-5.

Big name that I could see coming available: Devin Booker.

I wonder if he snaps after coming close with the CP3, Bridges, Ayton team, failing with the KD one, and now in no mans land.

Kentucky guy, so you know Pat and Edrice would be in his ear. Team USA guy too, so Spo would know him well.

Really loving our points distribution over the first few.

7 players averaging double figures.

Dru and Davion acting as enablers.

Jaime and Fontecchio are both being decisive.

Jovic setting dudes up.

Was wondering how all those dudes would contribute and theyve been playing so well.
