Yep...I really wanna see what Alondes can do up here now

I personally do not lol sure I’ll sign him for a 3rd stringer but JJJ is the only young guy like that I want getting playing time. Williams and Cain I wouldn’t mind giving standard deals as 3rd stringers but in terms of actually seeing what Williams can do here, that doesn’t interet me yet. It’s win now mode, High level players and vets only!!!

haha yeah I hear ya. I'm just curious how he'd look for a few games as a backup PG. He's earned a shot and I just don't wanna see him go ball out somewhere else on us.

Terry may be 6’1 but he has a 6’8 wingspan and the speed and athleticism to improve defensively and he’s actually playing for something now. I think he will do fine on that end, we need him to.

We’re still missing a backup PG and if we’re moving Duncan we need to be getting a shooter back.

Monte Morris and Alec Burks easily makes the most sense to me.

With all the ball handlers we have not sure if back up pg is our top priority.

A solid vet pg at the min could be a good choice but don’t know who’s avail. Gogi would of been nice tbh

We don’t need all the ball handlers. We need two true PG’s and keep the musical ball handlers to a limit

A second solid pg would be great I’m just going off priorities on what we should use our assets on. Would we be better off with a stretch 4 ?

I am concern about defense. Heat weren’t able to play defense against nuggets.

We defended them better than any other team; we couldn’t score

Damn Dan Le-batard and his people are going the other way with this trade "they do not like it at all", they dislike Scary Terry, calling him on the show a black hole, inefficient, and nobody is ever a Terry away from a championship. Saying somebody has to get the stats on a bad team, and that he is going to look absolute trash on this team. Better than Lowry but they do not expect much, not a Heat Player......

Yea on paper we are better than last years version of ourselves. However, the problem is Boston got MUCH better than last years version of them, so did Milwaukee. Right now it feels like we are playing catch up, and they are a couple laps ahead

Heat weren't able to score against Nuggets. Prevalent scoring droughts have been the Heat's undoing in back to back playoffs.

No one is shutting down Jokic. But, Miami actually held the Nuggets to their least efficient offense of their playoff run.

Terry will have to prove his worth. Still an upgrade over Lowry for cheap.

When have they ever actually provided value assessing Xs and Os?

They're a pop culture and narrative show.

100% spot on. It was a money saving move. Lowry 35mil to produce nothing. Scary Terry 23mil for 20 points as an inefficient chucker. Celtics, Bucks, 76ers are still far ahead
