:lol: Exactly better not hear about him complaining about effort, he has been playing on Neutral all season.

Right, after barely missing the finals last year the FO once again let the starting PF go and didn't replace him NOR upgrade the team. If I were him with knee issues, I wouldn't have toughed it out for an organization that actively made the roster worse AGAIN after having success in the playoffs.

Finally here, the season is almost over. Maybe if he showed up when Bam was balling we'd be in a better position.

You’re right.
This is on the coach. I’ve seen many times open players pass on open shots to force create for another player and failed because of the process and play set.

Had he been playing like he cared all season we’d arguably be a top 3 seed and the team wouldn’t be trying to figure it out 65 games in now that he’s finally decided to try

The problem is he doesn't show up when Jimmy shows up. That's part of the reason we didn't win a championship "2 of the last 3 years". Bam is a 3rd option at best period

I agree and if I were bam I wouldn’t bust my ass for an organization that stunted my offensive growth for 2 seasons in favor of Duncan Robinson and Max Strus

Bam is good and is a very valuable playoff player defensively. The people saying we need to trade Jimmy and build around Bam are insane though. Those were the same fans that said Dwyane Wade needed to give the keys of the team over to Goran or all people.

A Herro/Bam lead team would be even worse than this poor excuse for a team


Build around Bam?! Only an idiot would say that. Bam has terrible hands. As an all star, his highest use would be as trade bait.

25-11-4 in game 7 when Jimmy had 35. I’d say that’s showing up, end result will always be the roster sucks too much overall regardless

Where’s this narrative coming from that Jimmy was bad for most of the season. He averaged 21/6/5 on 62 TS% (highest of his career) BEFORE the all star break. The only real knock on him is that he played 44 out of the 59 games but that’s life with Jimmy, he’s older and has a lot of miles.

Coulda had Wemby, Scoot and Ingram. Now we got a 35 year old whose body is breaking down making $60 mil a year. We should be able to reset in 4 years from now.

Unfortunately Bam carried us all season and has us in somewhat decent position so the Heat won’t try to lose

Honestly.
I would feel better if we had a top 5 pick in the draft than going in as an 7/8 seed playoff punching bag.

Oh he’s been pretty damn good. He’s a top 10 player in the league but he’s coasted his ass off on at least 50% of the games he’s played in addition to the 15 he’s missed. If the team wasn’t rotating 10 undrafted guys all year it might not be an issue but unfortunately that isn’t the case
