We just need to find a solid starter than can shoot and defend that moves Martin to the bench for an off the bench defender.
No more guys who do literally nothing offensively, if we’re making a trade it needs to be for guys who can play both sides of the ball. We already have a Thybulle in Highsmith
Wow, what a horrible take in Thybulle and Highsmith.
You guys don't get it with defense, if you're not having to get the ball out of the basket and pass it in, you have more time on offense and you give the defense less time to pick up the man they want to guard which can lead to some favorable matchups. This team doesn't have enough offensive talent to go head-to-head against other offensive talented teams, they have to win with defense.
How many more bad defenders does this team need? It's going to get really ugly in the playoffs when they're picking on certain players to go after time after time.
What was bad about it?
We already have a Thybulle in Highsmith.
Highsmith is nowhere near Thybulle in defense. Philly should have gone all in with defense with Embiid, Butler and Thybulle but they didn't, they picked Harris over Butler, kept their "potential" in Simmons and then a year or 2 later went out and added Harden.
Yea that’s great and all until you get a stop, run the floor and the open man is Thybulle who’s a worse shooting than some on this board probably.
You said we don’t have what it takes to score with other teams but followed that up by saying we need to add a horrible offensive player, I just don’t see the logic in that. This team need 2 way guys, we have too many one dimensional players.
Miami has enough offense to go with a great defense, the problem has been the push away from defense this year.
We’re a top 8 defense as it is, we’re a bottom 5 offense. We need guys that can put the ball in the basket from multiple areas, especially from 3 BUT they need to be able to defend as well.
Top 8 means only 25% of the NBA teams out there plays better defense which is basically the top half of the playoff teams. It's a road leading to nowhere and for the sake of the franchise, since they've done very little to upgrade in now 3 off-season's, move Butler to whoever gives them the best package and just be happy being in the middle, at least it'll be more exciting to the fanbase with more points being scored.
