So Swider has one more year he can sign a two-way. However do not be surprise another team signs him. He needs to play to set himself up for the future.

So the battle of Keshad Johnson at 6'7 230 vs Haywood Highsmith at 6'5 220 has begun.

Would be interesting if the Heat are looking at Jaquez to be the four which was the plan early last season.

I like Highsmith at 5.5m. I think that's fair and he's tradable at that price. I do think he's going to see another little leap his stroke looked good last season. Saw the floater a bit too. Curious to see what he adds this summer.

I feel pretty good about this squad. Terry should go Nuclear in these super sized lineups. I cannot wait to see this what these groups do when they get on the court together

1. Terry Jimmy Jovic Bam Ware
2. Jovic, JJJR, Jimmy, Bam Ware


This second one is real nice if our boy Nikko arrives.

The team should be better with development and more known about their games on both Jovic and Jaquez Jr. Doesn't mean a whole lot for Miami this year when other teams got dramatically better or were just much better than Miami last year.

We're in the middle of a transition. We're gonna be okay Bam and Friends gonna be fun.

Better pick it up, he's a few days from 27. I'm not sure what the FO has been waiting for that completely changes how they'll acquire talent, they've been treading water for half a decade with Butler and also treaded water for 3-4 years before that.

Got a feeling in 2-3 years (Bam being 29/30, same age as Butler was when he got to Miami) this board will start talking about moving Bam for assets.

What the hell gonna happen to Bam at 27? is he gonna explode

Let it go, they already commited to running it back harder by signing HH

People crying about DSJ, jesus

Wow...
Paul George talks about how his negotiations happened over the last year but Clippers gotta Clip. Seems they weren't willing to pay him much until the season was over, they got to a number George felt good with (150 for 3 years) staying in LAC since he wanted to stay there and they said they wanted him to retire there... so he asked for a no trade clause because if he's not getting one, they're going to move him (they did this to Blake Griffin) and if they move him, he might as well get all the money he can get. LAC said no the NT and no to more money so George went to a team he liked for more money. It's pretty simple and LAC really F'd up with George. So expect Kawhi and possibly Harden to be back on the trade market in 6 months to 2 years (although Harden is only signed for 2).

Keshad Johnson isn’t in the same stratosphere as Highsmith. Johnson looks like a damn ninja turtle running around zero chance he’s a switchable or a plus defender onto any athletic wing who can actually handle the ball. Let him guard Tatum for a few possessions before you guys start talking crazy.

He can at best be a steady bench guy who plays the 3-4 in lineups, he isn’t some defensive stopper

Dudes stiffer than a 2 by 4

Running around like Dwight Howard after the back injuries

Some of yall don’t watch summer league or these guys beyond highlights and it shows. Highlights lie, that’s why they are highlights

Kawhi kinda strikes me as a guy that is just happy to keep cashing checks in his hometown

Lil buddies feelings getting hurt that people are going after the FO

Yeah, but P.George was willing to do that too on the same less than max 3 year contract that Kawhi got but understood the Clippers did this to Griffin just 6 months after selling him on resigning to retire there also and tried to protect himself by asking for a NTC for taking less money to stay, LAC didn't want that, they were already eying to move him. I expect LAC to have a fire sale at some point after next year (first year in their new arena) or possibly during the season if they're not doing good to keep the new arena filled its inaugural season.
