If Larsson continues to prove he can play with Herro and Powell. Jakucionis has shown potential to play with Herro and Powell. That is more incentives for me to trade for Anthony Davis. I would be willing to trade Wiggins and Rozier in a three team deal to get Davis. That will relieve pressure off of Ware having to develop so fast. And have an perennial all star offensive big man to play against to help him develop. Gives Bam a proven veteran big to play next to.

PG: Herro - Mitchell - Jakucionis
SG: Powell
SF: Larsson - Jamie
PF: Davis - Jovic
Ce: Adebayo - Ware

I honestly think the team is close. A few right changes I think the team can easily be the best in the east.

If we followed my plan we'd roll out the following next year:

Ware/
Boozer/Keshad
Dybantsa/Jaime
Peterson/Larsson
Jakucionas/

Seems straight forward to me. :dontknow:

What are you complaining about. The Heat cant force the Bucks and Giannis to trade Giannis. :lol:
No one said the Heat wasnt willing to go all in on Giannis. Stop making yourself upset.

Remember when they had cap space and lost the Gordon Hayward race? I mean he immediately got hurt so it worked out, but you gotta be a special kind of crazy to willingly choose to play under Spo. Most players say nah and go elsewhere for the same amount of money.

Fine.

Backup center will be Brook Lopez. Backup point will be Conley.

Now we old as hell. That was a quick fix;)

Based off the current info it looks like Herro will be playing out his final year on no extension and Powell will be offered a 1 year deal. Wiggins most likely opts into his 30 mil. Does not look like they want to take in any significant long term money unless it’s Giannis.

Might as well trade him for a 1st rd pick at this point and move on since Spo doesn’t know what to do with him.

Also only the bucks can give giannis the most money possible… it will be a very hard sell to ask giannis not to sign an extension, opt out of potentially 70-80 million more that he can get from the bucks, and hit free agency..

Still think they should go get Ja, if anything he’s a massive expiring for the “2028 Plan” and he fills a need here. Could be a massive reclamation project.

I was thinking about this as well though, we’re just going to hope Norm accepts a short term deal coming off what’s likely his only all star selection? If we don’t plan on giving long term money to Norm Wiggins and Herro you might as well offload them for assets which I guess that’s why we’ve been gauging the market for Wiggins, if that’s even true

I always knew that likely wasn't enough, that's why I said I'd offer Herro and Simone. But I don't think Ja is worth taking a chance on for any more than that, whether they'd take it or not.

I doubt we can get both giannis and ja. It would be one or none. And it very likely looks like none.

My offer for Ja - herro, first, take your pick of any 2 of JJJ, davion, larrson

My offer for giannis - herro, all firsts available, ware, davion, jjj
