IDGAF about doing him any favors. Send him wherever we get the best return and let him deal with it.

Lot of desperation moves coming from Jimmy imo. faking a ankle sprain/illness in the OKC game and he tried to strong arm the Heat into giving him a deal which he's not deserving off due to his age/normal decline.

All the stuff he was saying was all lies, amazing player at times and a beast no doubt but trying to trick people into a horrendous contract is not the way to go about things imo.

Jimmy just burned the bridges and he is all about the dough. He could've his jersey retired here, but I'm sure he doesn't give AF.

Says we’re getting a trade done as soon as possible and have talked to multiple teams as of Friday, nice. Get this done quick. Hopefully teams are coming with serious and respectable offers to get this done

Are you sure he’s telling the truth Bammy or doing this for clicks?


He’s very clearly click baiting and trying to fuel fire and he’s allowed to do that with no repercussions since Woj is gone, I want him fired!!!

Bro I just checked the roster for chits and giggles... Zhou Qi is averaging 13.1p/6.7r on 55.8%fg and 57.1%3fg. Getting a 7 footer that can shoot 57% from 3 in exchange for Jimmy's trash ass sounds like a steal.

Bam can go back to not shooting 3s with Zhou sniping.

The Heat are going to do what’s in their best interest.. if that means butler ends up in a team with single digit wins, then so be it. We cant absorb more money, and we need draft picks. The contract(s) doesnt necessarily need to expire after this season, it can be a combo of 2025 and 2026 expirings. We need to create cap space to be able to have a max slot by the 2026 offseason.


But then.. if we want to go a little further into trade possibilities..
as ive said before a few days ago, there isnt an untradeable player on this team. That includes Bam, that includes Herro who is playing his ass off looking for an extension himself but has also been unreliable with his availability in the past, even more so than Butler.

Bam is not going to ascend, he has peaked. He is what he is.

So i wont get offended if we listen to a blockbuster offer that can really help this franchise even further should we include Bam or Herro in the trade.

I'm giving Herro another offseason. He's 24 going 25. He has another leap in him. Just because he's such an elite shooter, he has a shot to be an all nba guy if he can fix his handles and finish better at the rim and with floaters. This season he's at 24 5 5. Better ball handling, a couple more FTs and better finishing and he can be 27 5rb 6/7a. You need to see Herro play out the season and if he remains consistent, work with him like crazy in the offseason and see if he can turn into a top 15 /10 player. And if you keep Herro might as well Bam, they are on the same timeline

I'd think we can do better than that but I haven't looked at contracts.

While it's not the worst deal, it also doesn't do anything for us either short or long-term, so it's kinda pointless unless there's also picks attached. Otherwise, might as well just hold onto Jimmy and let him walk.
