Why would Heat give up Ware? Love it but......

To land anything. They have no other suitors. They've backed themselves against the wall. We'll keep our 1st too.

Ware would be a perfect fit here.

You're living in the past with Jimmy. Jimmy is now 2 years older than the guy that shot 42% in his last 3 playoff series.

KM has looked faster the last couple games coming downhill with Giannis but historically we've looked like our average team age went up 10+ years when KM would return to the lineup

Nope, that's just your bias as a Dame fan only. You should have seen how many transition buckets Giannis used to get before Dame. It was fun.

Then, factor in that we were better defensively under Bud so should be getting even more transition and run out opportunities.

[-Jragon-]

Being clear, I think we've been trying halfcourt all year up til the last few games.. now we're trying to run now so whoever wants to play slow right now and not cover people can sit or get traded

[buckboy]

Just want Butler traded so I can stop reading these putrid proposals.

Why would Heat give up Ware? Love it but......

I’m not super plugged in with them so I don’t know how much they value Ware, but if we’re giving up our last first round pick I need something young coming back. And we need a big

He is one guy I would give up a 1st for but not Butler.

Who's Blanton?

[slos]

Midds + Bobby + Pat + 2031 SRP should be the final offer for Jimmy.

I will love it if Riley takes it, I will hate it if Horst adds more.

[Perishable517]

I still feel like they gotta shake some **** up but an unprotected 1st for a malcontent looking for all the money is gross.

I'd And 1 if I could.

How could Dame do this.

[Perishable517]

It seems like we are the only possibility here. A good negotiator wouldn't give up too much.... Too bad we don't have one of those

ben simmons, kyrie irving, james harden, jimmy butler

theres a reason talks drag on

Right? I don't see any value. Let the team get it ironed out. A little patience can be afforded after the quick pull of Griff.

Those Bobby/KM minutes were difficult to watch.. Horst, do you have any magic left in that old hat?

[aboveAverage]

Same. I'm not gutting our team for a 35 year old Jimmy. We can make some more shrewd moves on the edges and upgrade Prince's role and get a useable backup center. That would be enough for me.

[fansinceforever]

I'll take the Butler deals because at least they take into account the other team's motivations

That's cute and all thinking the team will iron itself out, reality is this is a win now season. Absolutely priority #1 is to have the best team on the court. We are going to be disappointed if we just keep saying well let's let them iron it out. Dame and Giannis is a pairing that's still clunky but you get one more stud in there we should be great, Middleton used to be that guy and still might be once he's "healthy". But either way, we desperately need help


As for Butler I'm torn. He's a great player having a down season and malcontent. He could be one of those guys you trade for and he gives you PJ Tucker level energy on defense and Middleton level offense (aside from 3pt shooting-which would cause spacing issues with current roster) I'd only trade for Butler if he truly wanted to be here and Giannis and Dame sign off on it

What deal do you have in mind? We've been putting together trades for Bobby and Brook since the summer and 98% of them make no sense for the other team.

[pifhluk23]

Bucks need to get Dame and Giannis and probably Brooks minutes down. Dame is at 36 and Giannis nearly 35. Bud had everyone under 33 during the championship year.
