Man if we get rid of terry might be happier than the Jimmy trade, would be the perfect deadline

Sounds like they found their AD replacement then lol

The young players could use a vocal defensive middle linebacker in Tucker. I expect to see him play.

The Lakers 2031 pick they gave up was unprotected... imagine fat lazy Luka in 6 years, when he's even fatter, lazier, and older. Might be a lotto pick by then.

Found Nico Harrison burner.

That unprotected pick is most likely going to be a very late first rounder, and that swap ain’t gonna happen lol.

Lakers just acquired a beast 23 year old center.

Nah. Those Suns picks are gonna be late 20s. I'd rather have one pick in the teens in a really deep draft then 3 bad ones. We got Bam, Herro and Ware around there. I'm looking forward to see who they pick in this year draft. Hopefully a point guard

2 of those picks were future picks. For this upcoming draft, chances are the Warriors play their way into that pick being closer or in the 20s. I would even bet that the Minnesota pick will be better than the Warriors pick this draft. Quantity over Quality. Having 5 1st round picks to play with 2027+ would've put us in a better situation for the future.

No it isn't, perfect example is the Dame saga. We were told up and down that our picks are crappy picks (mind you the Heat do better with them when they do pick, than most teams picking higher than them) and don't matter. Quality is most certainly better. Think about what teams would give to own the pick of the team picking 1st this year if they knew for sure.

He'll play a little. I love this pick up just for the team vibes.

PJ will play some. A little ironic given we just went big, but he'll be ready to compete if nothing else.

These needs to be a release valve to take him off ball when needed. Also what is this obsession with this corpse of a fringe basketball player in PJ Tucker? This is insanity yo bring him back here but dump Schroeder. I’m not even a Schroeder fan but he at least fits a need. Wtf is the point of PJ Tucker?

And some of you need to be a lot less emotional or lay off the crack. Wiggins is not even better than Bam or Herro, let alone Jimmy. Get out of your feelings please.

Wiggins doesn't need to be better than any of them. He just needs to be a piece that fills a role. This team isn't going anywhere without a true #1 but you need a solid team that makes stars say "I want to go there" and you eventually get one of them.

I'm not saying he needs to be, I'm just combating some of the delusions. You have people saying he's better than Butler out of some kind of weird spite and it's just stupid to see. We got rid of Jimmy like we wanted and he got paid like he wanted. Time to move forward. But people lying to themselves about the trade or the situation will not help.

It's not spite nor delusional to say that regular season Wiggins can help the Heat more than regular season Jimmy. Of course, peak playoff Jimmy is better than Wiggins, if he decides to be healthy and show up instead of running his mouth from the bench.

Jimmy is better than Wiggins at basketball. It does not matter the time of year.

I'd love to see it happen, but it's the Lakers, they'll probably just grab the next big superstar, like an SGA or Flagg by 2031.

The cycle continues.

Imagine if we go small again with Bam and Tucker in the front court.

If we're not in the play in this year I'd say Wiggins is better for us during the regular season, if he plays all the games of course
