Bam didn't have a growth spurt at 26 and cabron is a legitimate 6'8 - he was without sneakers in the pic which is why Bam appeared so much taller

I think Bam had shoes on and LeBron did not. Bam is 6'9. LeBron is right around there too.

I know you’re prioritizing bringing back Beasley first for some immediate offence of the bench, but Dipo provides the D we all need. We can waive someone for Beas after we get Dipo

I think of Lebron as a really large man....and in that picture...kinda shocked that JJJ looks comparable, and seems to be thicker in the legs.

Bron has probably slimmed down a bit to maintain speed

He has a two-way contract not a regular contract. Summer League is for getting the young players accumulated and a chance to try out to the league. You shouldn't be in summer league after two yrs

Good read Twix.

Ultimately, if Jimmy asks out, I want Houston to come to the party. Sheppard, Whitmore, picks….they got some pieces…

Sounds like we want Jimmy to take a pay cut if he wants to stay. To state the obvious

Get Sheppard here immediately. Id be head over heels.

A draft night deal made sense if Houstons desire for a superstar (regardless of age apparently) were true. Id have loved to get a hold of the Nets 25 pick. That wouldve been pure gold.

Yeah I remember posting multiple times when Dru did something positive....he was hustling 110%.

It is so easy to like these guys when they are fighting for their NBA careers.

When these over achievers are young, aka available....and highly motivated they have real value for the Heat.

He hasn't been challenged regarding his work ethic before. He's usually seen as the crazy/hi intensity guy that'll tear people apart for not bring the same energy. But the heat have been noticing all the time he's been missing during the season, along with coasting when he does plays. They kept their mouth shut cause he would find a way to turn up when they needed it. He couldn't this time, so they're having a hard time tolerating it now. That's how I see it.

I wasn’t watching a ton of Chi games but isn’t it well known that Thib’s was running Jimmy and all of his guys in general into the ground?

And is it really a good strategy to demand that a mid thirties version of Jimmy be dialing up his intensity during the regular season instead of pacing himself for the playoffs?

Kinda speaks to the failures of the front office for not surrounding him with better players who are capable of generating more wins when giving the opportunity to be featured in the regular season and instead are forced to have to rely on Jimmy to bail out the roster.
