There’s a guy on Twitter claiming to have inside sources with the Heat, MASSIVE Herro Stan and Bam hater so he’d fit in well on here but anyways…..,he’s claiming Bam/Giannis have discussed them being traded for each other considering they have the same agent and all that but Giannis feels bad because he and Bam are close and he doesn’t want to be a home wrecker. He said Bam/Giannis talks are going to Heat up and start being reported later next week so we’ll see how that goes :lol:

Stay tuned.

Pass.. if he isnt traded this offseason then let him hit free agency and see if you match the offer sheet..

If he has a big year a 22 year old stretch 4 ball handler will command at very minimum the full MLE at 14/15 per. 10 million is essentially what we are paying Kyle Anderson. Year’s 22-25 at 10 mil per for Jovic could prove to be a very wise cap friendly investment.


Which is exactly why he wont take it, his qualifying offer is like 9 mil. If he has a good year he will go for over the MLE. We also unfortunately need to remember that if Jovic does sign something in the 15+ range with Wiggins also on the team we can kiss the illusion of free agency. We wont have the cap space to go after any big stars.

I don't see this happening. Bam is such a bad return and doesn't solve anything unless he's getting sent somewhere else via the Bucks. Giannis gonna end up in the West if the Spurs come and say what's up let's run twin tours 2.0.

Jovic will have to make a jump we have never seen before for him to get anything significant should he hit free agency in the 2026 offseason.. and should he make that massive leap, we have the power to match, and save money while keeping him under contract for 4 more seasons.

It is the way we should have handled Herro’s first free agency, we should have let him hit free agency and match, and we would have saved a ton of money becuse he was not going to get the money we paid him from any other team in the league. He was going to get an offer like Duncan got from us at best.

Meh i think he takes the security. Especially with the untimely unlucky injuries he’s had to deal with the last few years. If he turns down the extension he’ll also be shipped out with the quickness. I don’t think he wants to go anywhere

And then when we match the contract people will say “should have just let him walk!”. :roll:

“Such a bad return” is wild considering they won’t get better player than him period but I agree if they don’t plan on flipping him again I don’t really see the point

Giannis is not getting traded for Bam. The homewrecking aspect from Giannis pov seems quite valid. You as a Bam fan can’t think this is possibly realistic. Bam bleeds Miami Heat. Giannis doesn’t seem like he would press this at all. It’s Bam and Giannis in tandem or nothing.

Oh I agree 100%, Giannis coming here in place of Bam and he might as well have just stayed in Milwaukee lol. He couldn’t win with Dame and Middleton wtf is he supposed to do here with a bunch of guys who’ve never won anything in the playoffs in a Heat jersey outside of Duncan? When they go after Giannis they’ll be trying to pair them.

We’re going to put all our focus on Giannis, refuse to trade Herro for him for some reason per usual and pray KD is still available after we waste our time with that

Whomever this self proclaimed Twitter Insider is the issue is MIA doesn't have the ammo to land Giannis and MIL is in a worst way to land Bam, so the only other option would be to for both Giannis and Bam to land elsewhere together.

You know how it is, its that time of the year. Bam and Giannis discussing being traded for each other and only some clown on twitter has the scoop. Pure fan fiction

I wonder what account this is.. I havent see it and I feel like my feed is fillled with "insiders." The guy is likely making it up regardless.

IF Giannis did want Miami there is a route to building a decent team, especially if Miami were to get KD at decent value...

Ware
Giannis
KD
Herro
Mitchell

If Ware makes a jump with Herro sliding from 1st to 3rd option... that's a team that could genuinely be in the mix to make it out of the East

imagine Bam and Giannis talking about a hypothetical trade without Miami or Bucks even engaging - basically somehow a super private conversation about an extreme hypothetical someone how leaked... to this random twitter guy. This laziness makes ICC look like a Pulitzer winner.

Bam saw me telling you all a month ago that if you put him on a team surrounded by garbage and made him the first option and built the offense around him he could put up big numbers on a bottom feeder like Bosh and now he’s negotiating with Giannis to get himself packed up to Milwaukee to prove my point. And you all wonder why he’s my favorite player

Love to see the pass out percentages for both Bam and Bosh when they get isolation touches in the post.

Well ones the far better passer but their isolation numbers are pretty similar out of the numbers we have access to so I don’t think that’s going to give you the argument you were wanting.
