I’m just saying if the trade doesn’t make sense, we shouldn’t make it.


Sure but thats just playing with fire at this point. Jimmy can put just enough fake effort to not get fined and still be a detriment on the court. Remember the consequences of being in the lottery this year, not to mention it will just internally destroy the team. OKC and CHA would love Jimmy to play out the rest of the year here, they can each get an unprotected pick from us because of that. The goal of the trade should be expiring contracts, no one will anything close to 4 picks, thats just fantasy land. Oh and by opting in we face being in the tax again unless we cut Duncan and lose another asset for nothing while paying Duncan 10 million dollars.

There is no requirement to actually play Jimmy either.

Their is. We can't send him home anymore unless he agrees to that.

Huge for Tyler’s all star bid that Lamelo somehow doesn’t start despite being the highest vote getter


The GB has a thread up on who the reserves should be. Nearly all had Ball over Herro.

I get that counting stats are fun, but when you shoot Rozier like percentages on one of the worst teams in the league, you arent an allstar.


Lamelo is not all that. He is not a max dude. He's more jordan Poole / john wall than trae young (and I'm not even a trae young fan tbh). He's a volume scorer and wildly inefficient and sure he has some highlight passes but he's also careless and turnover prone. He has not shown any glimpses of what it is to be a winning player.

He didnt win an all-star bid cuz he's not good.

I said play. You don’t have to be sent home to not touch the floor.

Highsmith should be traded for a pick. With moving to Ware and Bam front court he’s not really needed. Some playoff team will give us like 3 second rd picks for someone like Highsmith on that cheap contract

Jaime’s back to square one. I’m not sure why Spo got cute with the lineup this game; he could’ve started Jaime, especially since he really stepped up as our starting SF during the West Coast trip.

The rotations are all out of sync right now, and you can tell from the players' expressions that they’re not sure what to do.

Plus, we’ve lost our bench saviors in Ware and Jovic, so we need to rediscover our identity there. And, of course, there’s the whole Jimmy situation to deal with.

We just need more good players and we need to cut the fat from the roster.

If we can get a top player in this draft and get a top player via trade/free agency, then this build could take off.

Got to get offensive starpower.

We need Brandon Ingram’s scoring punch from the 3 spot.

What the Heat need to do if the Suns work up a deal and the Heat get at least one of those picks is use that pick with Rozier then trade him for an expiring bench player or a role player the team could use.

I wonder if the Pels give him a contract.

At this point I could see them crashing out and rebuilding again.

Return to Miami Heat
