2024-25 Regular Season Thread Vol. 3

[SoFlaKingReal]

Bam is solid af, but as others have said he'll be 30 by the time this team has a chance again. Cash in this offseason and build it back up.

What's gaslighting about providing tangible stats of EXACTLY what you're making some passive aggressive attempt to highlight as something that it's not?

Do you know what gaslighting is?

I'd say your attempt to emote about a couple instances where another team's player did their job and got a rebound to serve as some indictment on Bam's efficacy as a defender despite a career to the contrary is gaslighting.

The fact that the Heat are lacking clear identity right now is something different entirely. But go on. Jimmy thing has blown up and the Heat lost last night so enjoy your moment. Haters and doomers stand up!

Gaslighting, in this instance, are fanatics of a certain player, stubbornly narrating an idea that the player has no ceilings in the midst of the player being in a down year.

Your boy has underperformed all season in what was built in the offseason as his break out, leap year.

Hope traffickers stand up!

My man I have done nothing of the sort. You're projecting like crazy and quite literally trying to gaslight me rn.

You're battling made up posters and narratives in this instance. Bam has absolutely underperformed. Where have I said otherwise or been hope trafficking? Is comparing Bam to Draymond Green hope trafficking?

I just don't live my life reacting solely to the 1 inch in front of my face without regard or thought for the whole picture.

Lord knows what fallacy you'll pull out next.

Is it fallacious that Bam got embarrassed last night?

How bout in his matchup against Bitadaz who looked like Wilt against him?

Or any number of other games in which he’s physically outsized and out muscled by bigger centers in the paint?

More convenient to ignore me citing recent instances in favor of a stat-adjacent reference from last year.

Do u know what gaslighting means?

Why is Jimmy upset with his role?! I’ve been told if someone wants more shots they can just go take the ball themselves and go shoot……why is he playing within the offense and doing what’s asked of him? Must not be an alpha

[unowen85]

Need the Bam we saw @ Boston in game 3 of the 2022 playoffs, it was such an inspiring game, and to this day the best game I've ever seen BAM play. I wanna see more of that from him.

Watch on YouTube

And looking at the highlights, not a lot of scores coming from getting easy buckets from other teammates. It was him being assertive on offense when the ball came to him and going to the hoop. His funk this year is all mental and all on him to figure out.

Surely there's a phx / pelicans / heat 3 team trade?

Otherwise Memphis looking the most realistic and that trade is somewhat average but whatever.

I have a feeling once the butler trade is done there'll be a lot of calls for bam and Tyler. We better be listening

Is your point that Bam has had bad games? Are you just spinning out thoughts in frustration with no greater point? Do you think anything is compelling here? I'll assume you're just emoting and I'm getting in the way.

I'll pray for you.

i wouldnt be surprised if the trade happens with a team that we havent heard about yet

[MettaWorldPanda]

Who wants to pay Beal 57 million in two years? Suns are absolutely stuck with that grenade

Hed be an amazing pick up for OKC.

We need to move on as soon as possible. Dragging is only going to hurt the rest of players, Spo, and our chances to make the playoffs.

It's not just that, the Terry pick also becomes unprotected as a consequence. Thats why it's so important to make the playoffs this year.

I don't think we need to try and get a superstar in return. A good solid player who knows how to play the game would suffice. No one thought that Jalen Brunson would transform the NYK the way he did. He wasn't a superstar in DAL but has turned himself into one in NY.

Let’s see who’s in need of prayers..

Other than picks, what sort of package would you support trading Bam for?

[MettaWorldPanda]

Nobody wants Beal on that contract and have to give up assets for that. Wiz fleeced the Suns. Let them wallow in their mistake. Never thought it was a good idea in the first place to have two SG’s in Booker and Beal have to play with each other. They can’t play the 3 either. It’s like some thinking Beal and Herro would be fine. It would not. They are desperate to dump there problem on us for Butler cause he fits the pure SF they are lacking between Durant and Booker.

Hard to see a team that would want to inherit Beal on that NTC. PHX might be stuck here.
