NBA 2022-23 Regular Season Thread Volume 1

Huge Jimmy B fan, but I can easily see us trading him at the trade deadline to a playoff contender if we are out of it for a younger player with upside and a pick or two we could use later for a star. Who will that player be? Depends on who is in the playoff race.

Sacramento hastily seeks the playoffs. I can see they give Keegan + 3 1st rounds.

As good as Jimmy is and how much he has resurrected this team, I'd do that deal. I feel like we've played ourselves out of Jimmy's timeline. We had a good run though.

Far fetched.

Mia aint bailing on this season.

Anyone not named, Herro, Bam, and Jimmy, however, could very well be on the chopping block.

Two things, this team wont trade Jimmy unless he asks out and no playoff contender is giving up a younger player with upside and star worthy draft capital for Jimmy. You can even look at the playoff field last year, who is realistically trading away any young talent for Jimmy? Maybe Atlanta would do something around Deandre Hunter and picks but thats literally it. For right or wrong reasons the league wide perception is that Jimmy is a good player but not quite good enough to surrender your own young talent.

The single most important player on this team and it’s literally not even close. He’s the glue that holds everything in place. Let’s hope we can turn this ugly start around

If Yurt is healthy, Mia could survive a scenario of a hypothetical Bam injury that keeps him out for a couple months.

Same isn't true if Jimmy goes down. He's obviously the most important player and it's not even close.

Dedmon better not touch the fuxkin court over Jovic if this is the case.

Not sure validity of this report but i’m here to say that i’m 100 percent on board for the salary relief alone. 47 million off the books is no joke and will be well worth the brodie coaster for the rest of the season. Our team sucks with Lowry and Duncan so why not suck with Brodie knowing we clean the cap sheet.

If anyone can salvage Westbrook too it’s us. Some of you pom pom’d Winslow and his bum ass shooting. We can live through Westbrook. The deal also frees up 2 million against the cap allowing us to sign minimum pro rated players to fill out the rest of the roster making us buyout players.

Mia was 17-9 without Bam last season.

Between Jimmy, Bam, and Herro, Mia won't have enough cap space to go shopping in free agency for a max player much less a second level guy.

Seems like they'll be operating as an over the cap team moving forward with or without Lowry and Duncan's contracts on the books.

Personally, they are better served to use those contracts to bring in players who can help them immediately.

There’s many different factors that go into that that I shouldn’t have to explain

Maybe get a pick back from the Lakers, then we have Westbrooks expiring and 4 1sts minimum to play with

The deal is going to happen cause Mickey is not going to absorb Herro’s salary as all tax lol. It’s possible they flip Westbrook to the Spurs for the pieces you speak of. The Lakers seem apparently hell bent on holding onto there picks which would make it likely they take this deal on as it gets Lebron a shooter in Duncan and Lowry replaces Westbrook at PG. Lowry also becomes expiring next year they can use for S&T or flip purposes.

The reason the Lakers go with this is because they won’t have to give up the picks. They are giving us valued salary relief. They are also saving us 2 million off the cap this year so we can sign players to fill out the roster without getting into the tax. As of today we can’t fill the last roster spot cause we only have 600k. After the deal we will have 2.6 million to fill 3 spots with prorated deals. Lakers doing us a huge favor here taking on Lowry’s extra year and Duncan’s 3 more years.

Shouldnt need to be explained that Jimmy is the team's most important player.

I don't see the value in it for Mia and i don't think they are gonna dump salary unless they are able to secure a piece that provides them with immediate help.

Westbrook can't shoot a lick and plays no d.

Regarding the Spurs involvement, whatever the Mia can get back from them ie: Richardson, McDermott doesn't improve the team.

My guess is the team will be looking for a player more like Kyrie at the deadline.

I'm quickly becoing the biggest Lowry hater around, but I won't trade him for westbrook unless we get a really good LAL future pick.

Lowry is WAYYY overpaid but Westbrook is even more overpaid.

The smart and only way to make this team alot better is to use Lowry/Duncan and 3 of our picks and trade for the best player we can get. That's not Westbrook.

If we just dump Salary, we won't have the financial tool to attach to our picks and trade for that new star.

You need to put your GM hat on and realize there’s a lot more factors at play. Miami has to dump salary before Herro’s extension kicks in. Arison is not going to pay all that tax to hold onto Lowry for another year. The team will have a lot more flexibility next year if they can get off Lowry and Duncan’s salary to retain Strus and Vincent with the possibility of adding an MLE player into the mix. Miami trading for Kyrie is a pipe dream. Arison wants no part of that action.

Thinking about financial trading tools is how we got stuck with Duncan lol. In the event they need to make a trade like that in the next year or two it will be Butler that gets sent out. Some of you just don’t get that Lowry and Duncan with 3 picks ain’t getting you jack chit. The Jazz getting players like Sexton and Markkanen is what gets chit done. Not Lowry and Duncan lol
