Some athletes bodies arent resistant to high stress load. Genetics are an interesting thing, your on the wrong side of it and regardless of diet, exercise, and treatment it will still just not handle the load you throw at it. If Herro had to work as hard as Bam on both offense and Defense against big boys while playing perimeter players he would have 2 surgically repaired knees and back issues.


Preach brother ICC! You have to get lucky with your genetics. Nobody is created equal.




Poor Herro :nonono:
For a long time it gave me nightmares,witnessing an injustice like that.It’s a constant reminder of just how unfair this world can be.I can still hear them taunting him, Silly Rabbit tricks are for kids.I mean why couldn’t they just give him some cereal?

He still is, just isnt as bad. Maybe itll continue to get better with time


Another 30pt performance from Bam will have Spo pissed off again. :lol:


Bam disobeying his orders in the 4th the other night after he got tired of watching the bums brick all their shots and Jimmy getting cooked for 45 must’ve had Spo furious. 14 points in one quarter is WAY too much

in other words don't expect anything better than Bam for this current build we will build around him as a player, he is our cornerstone for the foreseeable future. Got it!!!

Elite franchise cornerstone, as long as he stays he’ll be the 3rd best player in Heat history. We’ll see what he can do accolades wise and he may be able to take over LeBrons 4 year stint as the 2nd.

Hell continue to improve and recruit guys here, hopefully the FO can get it done and Spo and the FO can put him in the best situations to succeed

Bridges has scored a ridiculously high 8 total points combined against Bam in their 3 games against each other this season. 2.7 PPG.

I will say I was hard on Jimmy though, he’s only scored 12 against him. Just annoyed by his lack of effort and PTO days costing us games this season.

they have another player that can score in bunches too. i think that they have a well rounded team for the future and in the east. a tall but well balanced team can give other teams headaches

If brooklyn either gets via trade or turns one of their players into a perinial allstar wing scorer, they will be a top 3 team for the next 10 plus years similar to Bostons current window.

Previously Pat was selling refurbished luxery cars as new and people were not noticing now he selling used junk yard rebuilds as luxery and nobody is biting on it.

SEVENTY ONE 2nd round picks traded during this deadline! :o
lmaooo
https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/270536/71-2nd-Rounders-Were-Traded-In-January-February-As-They-Become-Currency


There was a surge of second round picks traded during the NBA's transaction window leading to the 2023 trade deadline with 71 changing teams from Jan. 1 until Feb. 9.

That number compares to 29 in 2022, 32 in 2021, 17 in 2020 and 32 in 2019.

In order for the Milwaukee Bucks to acquire Jae Crowder, they sent two second rounders to the Brooklyn Nets as well as three second rounders to the Indiana Pacers to match salaries. The Atlanta Hawks traded five second rounders to acquire Saddiq Bey, while the Memphis Grizzlies sent out three second rounders for Luke Kennard. The Los Angeles Lakers sent three second rounders to the Washington Wizards for Rui Hachmiura while later getting three back for Thomas Bryant.

A number of teams have gone all-in in which they have traded multiple future first round picks and swaps that leave them bereft of currency to help facilitate trades.

“You can’t trade first-round picks if you don’t have first-round picks to trade,” an Eastern Conference analytics staffer told Jake Fischer of Yahoo.

“Any time there’s market imbalance, there’s going to be some wild trades,” one team cap strategist said.

“Second-round picks are currency,” one assistant general manager

Would gladly give up our 2 FRP's and Jovic for Mikal (they'd never do it obvs lol). Heck of a young wing with a great contract. Desperately need a good offensive wing that can get you 30pts any given night and isn't a liability on defense. He was actually a plus defender many years for PHX. He's the perfect dude to play along Bam and Jimmy. Oh well.
