Offseason Thread 2022 Vol 2- Sardines on Ice

Would be a ballsy move to trade Bam for Durant but i don’t see any other avenue. It’s a win win now move. And yes Durant even at this age is better then Bam.

Jimmy ain’t getting any younger either so, gotta pull that trigger

[Spacely]

Rapaz really got y’all thinking we’re trying to get Millsap

Master passive aggressive troller extraordinaire.

In the immortal words of Sun Tzu, “[a]ll warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near; when we are after Durant, we must make him believe we want Millsap.”

Nah getting just millsap is a deal breaker and makes up championship contenders!

KD-lite Jovic and the real KD on one team? Wrap it up league

Watch the Warriors make a play for Durant with Wiggins expiring contract, Wiseman and two unprotected first round draft picks. The Warriors can will another ring or two that way.

Durant and Butler would be such a killer duo. I’ll miss Bam but 2-3 prime years of Durant and Butler even in there mid 30’s could do some serious damage to the league. Butler even gets to keep his fat ass friend Lowry for the ride.

Fun facts for the those that call Mickey Arison cheap.

Miami has exceeded the Salary Cap every year for the past 10 years.
Miami has exceeded the Luxury Tax for 7 out of 10 years.
Miami averages a 6.7 rank in salary over the past 10 years.

Some people overly criticize Pat Riley and Mickey Arison.
The Miami Heat has been one of the most well run franchises in the NBA over the past 25 years.
Miami is number 4 in wins over the past 25 years.
Dolphins, Marlins, and Panthers has been below average over the past 25.
Although the Marlins have won 2 World Series, it has been losing baseball most of the time.
The "Cheap" title should go to whoever owns the Marlins.

The beatings Millsap rumors will continue until morale improves the Fun Police surrenders.

[SoFlaKingReal]

So Atlanta will be a lot better.

Fine DeAndre can sign here to backup Yurt for the minimum.

[stepback_ftw]

If you're Miami you do anything you can to pair up Butler and Durant. That's going all in on Butler's timeline. After that last postseason performance it's Butler or bust in Miami.

Lakers gossip seems far fetched.

Adam even said that Woj is sneakily wording his messaging in a such a way that benefits Brooklyn to make it seem that noone else but the Lakers is interested in a "sign n trade" for Kyrie.

Adam went on the say that many teams want to trade for him, though.

They’re done with Kyrie and know they can’t get much in return for him so they’re just done with it all lol. I mean that makes the most sense

The Nets really won 3 playoff games in 3 years and then blew themselves up.
