Boogie Ellis with a 2 way

Two knockout calls for you today with Pelle and Keshad. Going for the trifecta?

Honestly Swider can go too provided none of our shooters are moved. We need to make way for more multi-dimensional players

A shame if so but you’re probably right. I like him a lot as a Caleb replacement and I feel like he shows up literally every time he’s given the opportunity but it seems they prefer Highsmith as the Caleb replacement

I don't have a problem with this....we have known for quite some time...what a decade? half a decade? that Lebron had every intention of being on the same team as his son......

This is not the first nor will it be the last time a child's career benefitted because of who his mom or dad is.....this is such a routine thing...it is just a part of life.

There is a good chunk of us that are too prideful to ever take part in that....and I think highly of those people. I have a ton of respect for people that decide to make their own road.....but I don't have any major issue with people that coat tail...I dont think highly of them....but I have no major issue with the either.

I don't think Bronny is benefiting at all. His old man treats him like prop. He couldn't care less what is best for his kid, he wanted what he wanted and that was that. He's made Bronny a joke and a target.

We shall meet in the same place for the second round.

When I'm sure we'll hear we made a move and got a steal of a scoring guard.

Be on the look out for Pelle Larsson. We worked him out late in the process

Read on Twitter


I think this is an interesting name among guys the Heat have worked out. I haven't spent much time looking into 2nd round prospects, and those that I have dug into some are mostly PGs and Cs. But, Pelle Larsson's statistical profile would often pop off the screen when I was digging into other prospects:

Very healthy 3-level scoring numbers:
- 44% of his FGA at the rim (getting to the rim at high rate) converting at 64%
- Shot 42% on 2-pt jumpers
- Shot 42% from 3 (40% for his career)

Very solid assist numbers for a largely off-ball player. Doesn't appear to be a plus on defense. Older prospect at 23. He has some athleticism to his game. I think I read somewhere that he may have attitude issues--maybe it was passivity? Would be wild if Miami went 2 for 2 drafting guys with attitude concerns.

Worthwhile article if interested:

Great role player archetype IMO


Bump--love it

Please don't tell me this means Herro is not the backup point?
