Another scorer that needs the ball to be effective then watch your boy stats plummet again rinse and repeat :)


I don’t care if he’s deferring offensively to good offensive players like Fox, or current Herro. Or a star like Jimmy who’s a top 5 player when it matters most. I care when he’s deferring to inefficient chuckers like Terry and prior years Herro.

I don’t care about the stats, I care about the wins and solidifying this build with a championship. Plus Bams efficienfy likely jumps next to Fox and he’s worst case going to give you Bosh numbers while also being the best defender in the world. I know non ball knowers will just judge him based on PPG but anyone with a brain knows he’s elite in this league.

That team with a little added depth could win it all

Meh I'd rather have a wing upgrade like DFS+Schroeder upgrade and let Herro and Jimmy take over the ball handling duties and make Bam as the third scorer threat.

We have enough scoring for now, just need to get better defensively when Bam is sitting.

Definitely need to find a way to improve defensively in those minutes but we need another elite scorer imo to beat the Celtics and someone like the Thunder and maybe Mavs. Schroder and DFS might be able to do it but idk, we’ve been mediocre until this recent stretch so I’m skeptical.

In a dream world we could get Fox and find a way to get DFS as well

He’s light years better than Rozier would be enough of an argument

But to pile on, he would finally give Jimmy a non Tito teammate in the playoffs


If it was just Rozier, then sign me up (I'm lying, I still don't want him on this team lol). But Duncan?? I'd rather keep him. And I am by no means a Duncan fan, he's received my share of criticism for awhile now, but no. Duncan is of more value to this team as is than any version of LeBron you see today.

I'm hoping we can just put something together to get a decent C of the Vuvevic caliber and a PG like Schroeder while only giving up a Rozier package without much more. But I think Duncan would be perfect in a package to get John Collins.

They can have everyone listed cept for Ware.


If we only drafted McCain instead of Ware. We can forget about Fox and use Terry, Jovic/Jaime, and 1st pick for some other help. Maybe AD or another talented big to pair w Bam.

The young fringe guys need to sit back and watch how Duncan works his tail off in constant motion. There will always be room for that kinda effort in the NBA.


Hell many in here still do not understand how Duncan off ball movement enhances the offense regardless he makes a shot or not.


I always say Heat only go as far as Duncan takes us, lol

This is a proposed trade from SI.COM:

Heat receive: D'Angelo Russell, Rui Hachimura, Dalton Knecht, 2026 first-round pick

Lakers receive: Butler, Thomas Bryant, Pelle Larsson

Would this really be a blockbuster trade?

Hard pass. We got one last ride for this core. Not expecting Butler to get traded.

We haven’t had a series since the bubble where Butler, Herro, and Bam were all healthy and playing together. How many scorers do we really need? Maybe it’s time to focus on addressing other issues on the court. Hopefully, we get the opportunity this year.

We could’ve just sent him to Philly last summer like Embiid wanted and gutted them for their picks

Someone please break down Dallas, Houston, and Golden States available assets.

I’d like to see him go to Dallas personally. That’s my wife’s team and when we fly out to visit her family we always go to several games. Plus I think they can win a championship and I want to see him win one. SICK it won’t be with us

If this is the route we’re going do we just sit him out? We can’t risk injury now and is he even going to try if he knows he’s being moved?

At quick glance:

The warriors have 4 picks to trade 25,27,29,31. Same for Houston. Dallas has 2, 2025 or 2026 and 2031.

Salary wise it would be very hard for the Mavs to they’d have to send something like Klay Gafford Kleber Powell and grimes or cut out Powell and grimes and send Marshall.

For the rockets salary would be easier for them. They could send Brooks and the expirings of Tate Adams and Green.

Same for the warriors. They could send Wiggins with the expirings of Melton (I would actually love for the future) and Payton
