Clown or not, what's the difference between what he did and what RP did here? How come there was no league memo? :roll:

It’s wild that Lebron and Rich Paul pulled that off. The thinking the whole time was that Lebron might go to wherever Bronny was drafted. Lebron said “hell no, get that unknown-ready mediocre talent on the Lakers. I want those 4 ppg here.”

Pullin beat out Boogie in workouts. Gotta respect what the Heat saw. Pullin was one of the first workouts.

More Happy about Keshad than our 2 picks, hope he works out.
We also Signed Pullin, Satisfied with the draft. Wished we had Edey but Ware will do
1. Herro 2. Bol Bol 3. Seko 4. Bruno
unless we trade up for Barrett or trade down for PJ Washington

But when Dames agent does it……..funny how there’s like a new example of this every other week lol


Dame's Agent is also a clown. Big reason why he is not on a Heat uniform. Could've worked it out in silence.


I read the other day Pat was only willing to part with Herro and filler as well though, one thing about these recent deals (bridges, KD) their teams are actually willing to give up assets to get it done

Dame agent did work in silience, they spoke with Portland management for over a year in silience. They went public once they felt the the GM couldnt be trusted and was playing them. Dame agent spoke about this. And even when they went public the Portland GM still kept lying to them. Dame agent held a meeting with Blazers GM because Portland wasnt speaking the Heat at all. The Heat NEVER made an offer because Blazer were not speaking to them. Heat's only line of communication was Bam. What was making the Heat mad was not the lack of communication but the Blazers not speaking to the Heat but then leaking things to bad mouth the Heat's players.

But anyways, why are we rehashing this old drama.

Larsson and Johnson vs Da Silva and Williams.



Larsson always walking around and low energy is so dam bothersome. He puts very little energy offensively and defensively just stands and walks around. His hands are always down on defense

I’m late. Has Rapaz or someone already made a Key & Peele meme out of Kelel (or Keshad) & Pelle?

Key & Peele, Kenan & Kel… the potential is there!
