I think we have a better shot at Kyrie then we do Dame lol

They both fit exactly what we’re missing, I’ve wanted Kyrie for awhile now too lol

See i could envision Dallas wanting Herro in a S&T for Kyrie or possibly both Hardaway and Kyrie coming back here with Lowry involved as a big expiring for them.

I’m all for it lol. I’m telling you get this team and elite 3 level scorer of that level who can kill in isolation as well and it’s a wrap. They will THRIVE next to Jimmy and Bam and we’ll be in contention every single year of their contracts together

I like it since it’s an out of the box idea. We would still need to deal with Cuban so that’s going to be a pain but it does make a lot of sense. The only thing the might be an issue would the the tax implications for us and at least one first round draft pick but more the tax implications.

I’d be totally fine with this too, we can keep Jovic too hehe

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

He was moving fine.

Game 3 of the ECF, Miami blew out Boston and everything changed, the effort level dropped and Miami played 9 more games losing 7 of them.

When Butler )(#$ the bed in 2021 and Miami was swept, this was one year after his 2 triple doubles in the finals and there was no surgery. I think he was fine, I do believe he believed in his teammates too much after that blowout of Boston and he took his foot off the gas.

I think it was more of a matter of his shots not falling as often and the way the defenses adjusted to defend him, as opposed to taking his foot off of the gas.

They dared him to score and he wasn't looking to. I think Malone found some tell on if Butler was in distributor mode or scorer mode, you know something like him talking )($)# means he's trying to score, if he's quiet he's distributing.

Its a nice dream to have.

I’ll get a pretty good Dame thread going at some point tomorrow

So two fantasy trade threads then?

Dame himself said Miami was obviously his favorite choice, if he’s on the move we’re 100% in the mix and likely his preferred team. Howard even said for us to make one

Your forgetting he also mentioned Brooklyn who has like a million picks to trade and expiring contracts.

So if we both offer our expirings and 4-5 picks each it’ll mean in our favor.

I just checked out the Nuggets board and their 1st championship game thread is 2 pages with like 5 or 6 total fans participating! Just wow, glad we have such an active forum. It's been a good run and lots of fun discussing it with you all. Here's to a hopefully fun and successful offseason of improvement

They are much more active on Reddit. Surprisingly they have more members than some popular teams on Reddit. Too bad though Reddit NBA is no longer available

Bam quietly had what, 6 points in the second half? I guess we are going to have to get a #1 this summer

Bam had a fantastic 18pt 1H teasing us for a potential 30+ outing. Pooped his pants for just TWO whole pts in the 2H which came at 1:10mins left in the 3Q.

Elimination game & dude's fully healthy.

Franchise cornerstone, really looking forward to his continued development. These were great reps for him to build on

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Bam has an injured shoulder (he literally wears the sleeve for it) hamstring, and hip. Tweaked his ankle tonight too. Stop saying he’s fully healthy to fit some narrative/agenda

Also Jimmy is 100% hurt

The truth is you don’t like the answers you are getting. Jimmy is different….. dude coasts for half a season then post all star break starts to care. That should tell you everything you need….

No it shouldn't. I don't care about Jimmy coasting during the regular season, especially since that 'coasting' had him putting up phenomenal numbers in those same advanced statistical categories yall tout for others. I'm perfectly fine with him earning his money in the playoffs.

Some of you seem really excited at the thought that Jimmy did quit though, and that nothing was wrong with him in terms of injury of even fatigue. I'll let you have it. Enjoy your "win"

No one is happy we lost. If we want to get better we need to look at and address all flaws. Heck we saw more effort and passion from an older hurt Lebron than what Jimmy showed. That with him costing half the season.

LeBron and those empty ass numbers he's been putting up for 2+ seasons got swept and mopped up. You are still free to root for him or whatever though. I'm happy with the way Jimmy led us even if disappointed with the way he performed in the Finals.

This needs to be plan A

[Heat3]

In the end we lost because we were less talented and our shooting was unsustainable

Thank you, UD.

Been advocating for this for a bit. The size thing is a concern, and Lopez is an excellent shooter and rim protector. Would allow Bam to play free safety and really cause havoc defensively.

I think Spo might be wedded to small ball though, in which case we need a 4 upgrade and more scoring.
