Angel Reese that's harsh lol But Bam continues to struggle for the rest of the season than moving him should be an option. Ware is the only player right now that untouchable. Herro if he put a full season like this, may join the list. Everybody gotta show something. Especially Bam who is 27 and in his prime. If he can't play at an allstar level, then I'd look around to see what I can get for him. I don't think you can pay him 50 mil dollars for this. And he would be valuable for a lot of teams so we could a ton of assets for him. But there is still half a season to go. So he has time to turn it around.

It's an even worse situation than that. Even if they lost out, they'd still be lucky to get a top 10 draft pick. It's too late to start tanking. They're like the Dolphins for most of the last 25 seasons.
Winning too many games to get a good draft pick but not enough to get in the playoffs.

Tank tank tank!

We need a superstar!!!

Even Stan Van Gundy mentioned during the broadcast that Bam needs to get back to taking those mid-range shots. But hey its "developing shot for Bam" so he can keep firing away as much as he wants.

Didn’t get to see this one. Probably for the best.

Season needs to purely be about playing the kids and seeing who’s legit. Looks like Ware is. Might end up as ROY at this rate.

Ware is legit the only impactful 2 way player on the team, he's been the best player the last three or four games it's crazy Spo was giving him dnps and playing Love and Bryant over him

The DNPS and his time in the G League have helped him get ready for this moment. And yeah, over the last five games, he's been outperforming Bam.

No one is untouchable right now. This team needs a legit superstar to build around. I have no idea how we're going to get one though.

Maybe the league will do us a solid and rig the lottery for us. :lol:

You get one by having a combination of space and assets. Space to absorb big contracts, draft capital to send out. If you can move Bam for 4-5 firsts you do it in my opinion. There is nothing this guy does that should make him unmoveable. It sucks for Bam and for the feels, but we drafted a better player than him at his position, and now Bam’s viability with him relies on his ability to shoot and develop at age 27 into something else, which is currently being tried and failing miserably.

This is the second time we get blown up immediately following a Jimmy suspension. Do you guys think the front office will finally take the hint that this **** is affecting the team on the court?

Looked like a tank gm to me. As soon as Rozier came on the ship started to sink. That dude is seriously doo doo
If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

I agree. Spo needs to get him back to what made Bam so good in previous years and it never involved the 3. He’s too much in his head right now. Needs a clean offseason with no distractions. I remember the year Gogi played for Slovenia and won the Euro’s he struggled the year coming back and was a step slow. He said he was worn out physically and mentally. Bam deserves a mulligan year. We need to stop being hooligans with players with Bam’s history and cache here. He deserves some respect

Yeah, I’m still giving him the benefit of the doubt. I think he’ll improve after the All-Star break.

Ware is clearly a unicorn and Bam is ideally the rugged 4 that allows Ware roam free. This team should be bending over backwards to get a playmaking PG. Spurs are running out 40 year old Chris Paul for Wemby at very least and we here trying to run musical ball handlers by committee with players who have probably never ran point in there life with the exception of Jovic when he was much smaller growing up.

I agree. They clearly don't care, and it pisses me off. They expect the players to buy in and be focused on the task at hand, but the front office (and in this case Spo too) don't seem to give a crap about winning. They certainly aren't focused on it.

I can't say this enough ... this organization has been putting a guy on the court that they know is sabotaging the teams efforts to win. That is bonkers. Forcing the other players to play much of the game 4 vs 6 has to be **** with morale. It's unfair to all the players who do give a damn and are trying to win.
