Is Riley that excited for another chucker with less than average defense? Do you even heat?

Yeah, you're right. Dame isn't an upgrade from Tyler Herro.


Not sure its a worthwhile upgrade when we get beat in other facets.

This was a magical run and we caught all those more talented slipping with hustle, heart, and better coaching. We shot lights out. Those better teams will be better coached next year. This team isn't going to make another run again as currently constructed IMO. We caught lightning in a bottle. Only 2 teams in NBA history have made the Finals as an 8th seed. Jimmy will coast again. I just don't see it with this roster again. If Jimmy didn't go MJ against the Bucks, we might not have even beaten them. I'm not trying to be negative. Just being realistic.

That's one thing we definitely need. When I say we need more size, I don't necessarily mean we need to be the 90s Knicks. We could really use bigger wings.

Imagine having Aaron Gordon next to Bam? Damn would be nice to get any athletic 4 who’s 6’8 and above and weighs over 230 who can shoot

Siakam, John Collins, Jerami Grant…we need one of these types

Portland has like zero need for Herro with Sharpe and Simons. And if they are looking to trade Dame that means they are drafting Scoot. I don’t see them trading Dame at all. Pels could conceivably be ready to trade Ingram to Portland in order to free up the spot for Murphy and draft Scoot as there PG of the future.


We also have draft picks too but I think if Dame really wanted to be here, they could make it happen. We'll see.

That's Jeremi Grant's music. While we appreciate KLove, please stop adding aging 4s in this roster.

From Iguodala/Ariza to Tucker to aging KLove. Stop plz. Lowkey think we'll have better shot with Kelly in this series :lol:

Convenient whipping boy. He’s one of our best draft picks ever and did just about everything he was asked to do. I think the guys up top like him but he’ll have to get sacrificed to get this team the #1 they desperately need.

I don’t think some people realize how much Riley loves Tyler Herro. He’ll be the starting 2 next year. I don’t see any trade with him.

Pat Riley hasn't loved a young player since Magic Johnson, and that includes Dwyane Wade. Pat only love experienced veterans.

If you think Pat loves a kid who is full of himself, worried about his image, and doesn't play defense, have I got a deal for you ...

Let's say Jimmy has MCL surgery next week, does he get a pass then?

We have to be very careful and build on what we have and not take another step backwards in the regular season and in chemistry.

We have to add and not destroy. An intelligent refresh

If this is the best we get from Jimmy after giving him basically half a season off because he didnt try or care until post Allstar break, im not sure this team can survive that again. Time for Jimmy to grow up and play hard all season, no more of this Kawhi light bs, at least Kawhi won.

We literally lost because we couldn’t score, adding Dame you’re adding one of the best scorers and shooters the league has ever seen lol

I felt like we could have gotten Grant for a reasonable price too but we were chasing KD.

We can redirect heero to another team in a 3-team trade for picks
