Butler literally called that man trash.

I mean Jae is basically a wash. TJ prior to injury was easily better than both. I guess we’ll see

This would be a Danny Granger 2.0 signing.

No way. Granger signing was pure dog chit from day 1. I'd feel okay with TJ. Granger man....that was worse than losing Lebron.

Haven't seen the guy play since the bubble. Thought he was in the G league or china.

Jimmy and TJ gotta box first practice if this happens lmao. Jimmy about to wear his ass out

[SoFlaKingReal]

I wonder why the Suns are open to trading Crowder? They have youth ready to replace him I guess?

TJ and Jalen for Duncan.

I’d be fine with a Ricky Rubio pick up
A trade for Myles Turner or Mo Bamba (Duncan Robinson and first)
Thaddeus Young or Serge Ibaka pick up

I woke up from my nap to a loss of $1,400 on the stock market, $500 loss on the crypto market, no news of a new all star and elite role player even rumored to be interested in the team, and now I have to go to work pretending that my day didn't absolutely suck. I have you beat.

Thankfully I pulled all my money and crypto out of the stock market awhile ago lol

I was watching a specific coin and I made a lot of money on it, then one day I did it again and thats the day it dropped, I lost like $8,000 in like 3 or 4 days. Now I'm committed to waiting for the climb because no way am I going to actually lose 8 grand. Stock market is fine, I day trade, so on most days I come out ahead.

I’m more of a swing trader when I do but I’m
Relatively new to it all. Started about 2 years ago, haven’t done much of anything in the last 6 months. Was trying to learn day trading but I wasn’t over PDT so kind of annoying. Didn’t do much with crypto but I did get lucky and make $15k on Doge, could’ve been $30k but I was being stubborn and holding out for $1. Don’t worry, Turned around and lost it all anyways lol

Probably want Cams shooting in that role I guess

Fkn terrible. Do not want Winslow back. Of course PJ wants to leave. He was a full time 4 @ 6'5". I'd leave too and I'm 6'7".

You know he'd be going to Philly to serve as a 4 with stints as a 5 right? You know he'd be going to reunite with the GM that traded away Clint Capela to make Tucker the team's starting center in Houston right?

Tucker's NBA career as a starting caliber player basically began in his 30s in Houston when he became a full time 4 (and ended up a full time 5) under Morey.

Agreed with all the players mentioned except Serge Ibaka.

Can't play on the court these past 3 years, didn't even crack the Bucks lineup with Brook Lopez's injury.

He is basically the same category as Millsap/Melo that should not enter FTX Arena

I don't get it, something is afoot. Maybe we originally offered him the vet min, something insulting and degrading for him to leave. Could it be we where asking him to take a pay cut? It just doesn't make much sense. All things being equal one would want to live in Miami vs Philly just on quality of life. Something must have happened.

You Would prefer to live in Miami. Most of this board would prefer to, but these guys have relationships too. Maybe he wants to be with Harden and Morey again. PJ is a career journeyman, a vagabond. Nothing had to have happened for him to want to team up with guys where he had some of his best years. We also dont know whats real and whats smoke. Every time a player decides to leave it isnt because they got disrespected.

Yup a hired gun. No loyalty to us

Still had 7 & 5 on 35% from 3 so he could be serviceable, what other options do we have at the PF that can defend and hit the 3. Plus Heat culture brings the best out of these players so he could have a comeback who knows it could be worth a try.

[greg4012]

TJ Warren pick up on the cheap would be nice. Would be akin to the sort of value MIL has gotten out of Bobby Portis for the past few seasons IMO. Except TJ is a combo forward, not a big.

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Assuming Kyrie Mitchell and Beal stay where they are, my dream starting lineup for next season would be:

Murray
Strus
Jimmy
Bam
Bamba

The hope would be that Murray continues to improve on his 35% from 3 on catch and shoots. Strus takes 10 3s a game. Jimmy continues to value the 3 like he did in the playoffs. Bamba increased his volume a little, and Bam starts taking 1-2 a game would be the cherry on top.

That defense would be insane. Far better than this last season

[MettaWorldPanda]

Man Crowder back would just feel like we are getting a worse version of him making the same money we should have signed him to a few years back. We are down bad right now if these are the names getting leaked.

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Is TJ a free agent?
