Nothing beats clip based evidence of how "good" the defense was, when the guy they defended scored 39 points on 78.9% TS

Hello Heat fans! Is this the deadline Miami shocks the world again? (not being sarcastic) I'm seeing the possibility there.

Whats cooking over there AirP. Is GS getting Curry some help?

[3ammy3uck3ts]

I just saw Ja Morant’s stats..

I was told a few days ago i was overrating him, that he is not that good.. that a ja and bam foundation is not worth building around.

The price went up after just one game in which he reminded the league he is still one of the most explosive playmaking guards in the league. He has been injured and has had this lone off year. Always been better than any guard we have had here since 2020.

Hey Pat, go offer Rozier and Simone now

You honestly think a Ja, Bam and Powell core would beat a healthy Pistons and New York team?

I think a Ja/Norm/Wiggins/Bam core “could” beat anyone in the East, especially with the Celtics not having Tatum (I’m not ready to crown an upcoming Pistons team and a team in the Knicks who haven’t won the East in several years and struggle when their best player is on the court as unbeatable) but I don’t think they could beat the Thunder in the Finals. But hell, who knows? Maybe Ja bounces back to 90% of what he was (people are reading into this seasons play way too much) and that’s enough or maybe SGA rolls an ankle in game 1 and is a shell of himself playing through it. That’s why you play the games at the end of the day.

I DO think a ???/Powell/Wiggins/Giannis/Bam team does run through the East pretty easily if healthy and can beat OKC or anyone else in the West straight up. Really hoping this Giannis stuff goes down in the next 2+ weeks, just ask out. I’ll be hate watching the game against the Hawks today for sure

[heater4life]

Biggest gripe I have with the FO has been the inability to adapt to the changing player acquisition landscape and the inability to get ahead of contractual conflicts.

“Heat plans to make a run at X player in 28”. That era is done with. Player acquisition is done via trade or sign and trade. No one signs outright anymore, too much money to lose.

Now with Wiggins, Norm and Herro. These 3 are going to get money from someone. The team needs to decide which direction is best suited for the future and whoever is out of the equation needs to get dealt. Herro has youth, but will demand top dollar for mediocre production. Norm and Wiggs are solid vet contributors for a competing team (which we are not currently), but will get solid contracts as older players, prohibiting “making a run for player X in 2028”.

Heat need to decide. Wait and see is crippling.

[AirP.]

Hello Heat fans! Is this the deadline Miami shocks the world again? (not being sarcastic) I'm seeing the possibility there.

Whats cooking over there AirP. Is GS getting Curry some help?

I think GS will be getting Curry, Butler and Green some help although their acquisitions this summer are finally starting to get healthy (Melton and Horford) even though Melton is still on a minute's restriction (I think it's 25 now).

Going off all the rumors and what teams want; I think Miami could have by far the best deadline moves and GS should have a good one too.

This new CBA really adds more calculations in how you can or can't make trades and it's made 2nd round picks highly valuable, especially if you can get a 2nd rounder you think can play to sign a 4-year deal at or near the minimum like GS did with Richard (but not Post, they learned from that).

This is potentially a disastrous 5 game road trip coming up. With or without Tyler, just getting 2 wins will be tough. 1-4 is a likely possibility.

The schedule makers were drunk on this one. I dont care who the opponents are. Every game is in a bad spot. B2b, 3 in 4, b2b, 3 in 4.

5 games in 7 nights on the road is just brutal. Only the Utah game looks winnable.

Then its a 1 game homestand (which is basically an extension of the road trip), then its another b2b followed by another 3 in 4. All littered with travel plus a b2b2b with the bulls.

Fuxked up, brutal schedule to start the year and now that it eases up (team record wise) we get screwed over by travel/scheduling. Hope they can pull through and take care of business.

We are getting JJJ and Davion back tho.
And if Simone and Gardner play anything close to how they played vs okc, we are deep. Ofc they won't consistently but there's alot to like to build off of. And ware played decent. Spo would be smart to play guys 25-28 mins and really spread players around and rest them etc.

Let's take it a game at a time. 3-2 is well within our grasp with how we played vs okc and phx. Even boston we outplayed them most of the game before crumbling in the 4th and simons needing a season best performance against us. Those just happen.

Melton is out for GSW who is their JJJ. We are v capable of beating this team tonight.

Trying to take a victory lap because Ja finally got on the court and played 1 good game is wild. Especially when you wanted to severely overpay by trading all our picks and half our young talent for him .

How’s the game to game chemistry between Steph and Jimmy lookin thus far this season?

[AirP.]

Butler's buddy Errny replied to a GS fan post that had GS possible targets of MPJ, Murphy III, J.Grant and Wiggins and replied... A bigger unknown name that hasn’t been mentioned…

This got me looking around at who might have a bigger name possibly moving.
Let me walk you through my thought process, I went through a few teams and then came up with this...

Milwaukee
- They're bad and can't contend with Giannis this year and probably the next few years.
- Even if they traded Giannis they can't tank, they've given out way too many swaps, the next 2 years for sure.
- They need talent and draft assets.

Memphis
- We know Morant doesn't want to be there unless he's in charge and that would be very dangerous for Memphis.
- They just moved Bane for picks this summer.
- If they move Ja they'd like some type of asset for Ja and just get some expiring's.

Miami
- Star hunting or maybe not.

Golden State
- Need size
- Wants to have a shot in the West

How do we make everyone happy?
1. Have to convince Milwaukee to trade Giannis and still be ok with upside and draft assets, basically overwhelm them.
2. Memphis needs to move Ja, wants something for him and to get off money, might have to entice them just a bit.
3. Miami wants impact players/stars.
4. Golden state needs size.

So, let's start with Miami.
-> Bam, Herro, Rozier and K.Johnson (Larrson and Jakučionis but I doubt you'd move either before Johnson). Of course draft assets to, some to Milwaukee, maybe 1 to Memphis.
<- Giannis, Ja, Thanasis and one of Memphis' near minimum salaries.
Starters... Ja, Powell, Wiggins, Giannis, Ware
Bench... Mitchell, Jaquez Jr, Larrson, Jakucionis, Jovic, Smith.

Basically, Bam is too old for a Milwaukee rebuild on the run, but Herro isn't, so you need more picks and the need to free up space. Basically, GS would be trading 2-3 1sts, maybe a swap or 2, Kuminga and Moody to help overwhelm Milwaukee. Not many teams can send Milwaukee this much of a package where they aren't completely terrible while not owning their own picks/swaps.

Milwaukee...
-> Giannis, Thanasis, G.Harris
<- Herro, Kuminga and Moody (plus 4-6 1st or swaps)
They get some youth, some potential and picks, some from Miami, some from GS.

GS
-> Kuminga, Moody, Hield and 2-3 1sts and possibly a swap or 2.
<- Bam, G.Harris, K.Johnson
Starters... Curry, Melton, Butler, Green, Bam
Bench... Podz, Richard, GP2, Post, Horford
They'd need to find a backup wing somehow.

Memphis...
-> Ja, near minimum guy
<- Rozier, Hield (both expiring although it cost 3 mil to buy Hield out next year) and some draft compensation from Miami and/or GS.

So, the trade would look like this (just did the player movement, not the draft assets) ...
* There is some wiggle room to make changes to the lower salary players, not much room but some.

TBC, sga got to his spots and wasn’t disrupted. He just missed some shots. Wiggins did a good job contesting but sga makes those same shots against similar contests all the time.

[3ammy3uck3ts]

AirP you bring a good discussion, teams are frothing at the mouth to get their hands on a talent as elite as Edrice right now, the Warriors included and Jimmy knows his importance to success when the games really matter most.

I’ve seen fans of the Warriors, Celtics, Pacers, Spurs, Pistons, Knicks, Cavs, Thunder, and Lakers specifically advocate for getting Bam. I’m sure that has become an even bigger want after seeing he is OKCs kryptonite after making food of the top rated defense the other night. The Spurs specifically should be offering up loads of assets to land him and put him next to Wemby Fox and Castle as he could be the piece that turns the tide against them in a playoff series and it will catapult Wembys GOAT campaign winning a championship so early like our GOAT Wade was able to do in his 3rd season. The spurs have had OKCs number in the regular season (3-1 I believe) but I don’t see that sticking in the postseason

[AirP.]

Whats cooking over there AirP. Is GS getting Curry some help?

I think GS will be getting Curry, Butler and Green some help although their acquisitions this summer are finally starting to get healthy (Melton and Horford) even though Melton is still on a minute's restriction (I think it's 25 now).

Going off all the rumors and what teams want; I think Miami could have by far the best deadline moves and GS should have a good one too.

How’s the game to game chemistry between Steph and Jimmy lookin thus far this season?

When Curry, Butler and Green on the floor, Green and Butler are just playmakers trying to find Curry (which is why Kerr doesn't play Kuminga, he likes to call his number too much and isn't good enough to just let him iso all the time when Curry's off the court). Kerr's trying to find some type of 2-man game with Butler and Curry with them setting picks for each other. Last year Butler emphasized he was Robin and Curry was Batman and a ton of possessions Butler just looked for Curry, so when Curry went out in the 2nd round, not only was Butler hurt, the offense wasn't built for him at all hence an iso player like Kuminga did fine since the engine to the only offense they knew was out. This year, Kerr has put in a different offense for the Butler on Curry off lineups so if they lose Curry again at some point, the team will be ready to play with Butler as the engine. Last year they didn't know where to go and would clog Butler's driving lanes or not know where to be to get a pass from Butler when he drives with zero thought of shooting the ball.

Curry is incredible but man.... does he throw some terrible TOs, I've never seen basically a whole team throw unforced turnovers like GS does that end up easy baskets the other way, and GS don't have the offensive talent to do that and still win.

And secondly, if you believe that knucklehead has any insider knowledge at all, he said a bigger name not talked about. Giannis rumors have been talked about to death.

It could be a guy like Siakam or Reaves/LeBron (lakers don't work with them and Luka). LeBron on GSW would be pretty fun. Lauri? Sabonis? Anyway. It'd have to be something like that. Top 30-40 guys that haven't been mentioned much or at all lately in trades and that are better than the likes of Murphy Wiggins MPJ that you mentioned etc.

Lebron is cooked. He makes herro look like prime Gary Payton on defense. The Lakers have cratered since his arrival.

He is gaming counting stats right now.
