Just ghosted us. Saw him on the GS message board immediately in their first game after acquiring Jimmy.


AirP was all class as a player fan & contributed to the board w/ no bias/homerism to the point i didnt even know he was a player fan until he announced it. He can do wtf he wants.
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 know there are player fans, but as a player that would creep me out having grown men follow me around like that. Hell it creeped me out when I had females stalking me. I only played up to a college level. A lot of the stalker women were not cute. One was missing her entire front teeth, she didnt even have dentures. She found my roommate and got him to let her in sat on the couch waiting for me to come home. How do you stalk someone and dont even have the decency to bring your front teeth? I couldnt imagine all the weirdo stalker the NBA players have :lol:


Hey, zshe had great perthzenality and mouthz!

Trae/Herro or Ja/Herro would probably make for the best backcourt in the NBA (offensively)

Morant’s 3p shooting has really fallen off of a cliff, I’m not sure he could excel in Spo’s system. For a “star” his contract is reasonable considering you’d be getting his prime years, but there’s also concerns about durability.


Yeah the shooting + durability is a concern, but he's only 25 and hasn't suffered any serious lower-body injuries (which is where the main risk lies for a player like him). IMO, he's right up there in terms of talent as Ant, and due to the risks you highlighted (which are 100% valid) he will probably be more attainable for us.

In order for the Heat offense to work with the starting unit what does Mitchell have to do?

Hit 3's at a decent clip and set the table. Two things he is not known to do.

I enjoyed 99.99% of my time on the Heat forums, probably only 2nd to the Chicago forums but really nothing good comes from posting in a team forum where the player you follow just left which brings me to the dumbest post I've seen on RealGm in the 18 years I've been on these forums.

I'm sorry that a lot of non cute women thought they had a real chance with you to the point they actually went to your place, but I don't see how that's anywhere close to being in the same situation as someone who enjoys basketball has decided to just follow a player.

I thought the Philly fans posting that Butler forced his way to Miami to "retire from the NBA" was the dumbest posts I remembered seeing on these forums but this one I'm replying to is my new #1.

I'll be more careful about clicking on notifications in the future.

I know the Heat wanted cap relief but I thought it would of been funny if after trading Butler to Warriors the Heat then traded Robinson and Rozier for Beal and those 3 first rounder

PG: Beal - Mitchell
SG: Herro - Larsson
SF: Wiggins - Jaquez
PF: Adebayo - Jovic
Ce: Ware - Anderson

Would be a formible team

I wasn’t going to say anything but watChOut, Spo, and myself got dinner after the deadline and the reason we didn’t accept the Beal trade was because KD told us he’s coming this summer and didn’t want to play with Beal in Miami, he wants Ant or Ja unless a random player of that level or better comes available

You’re welcome back here anytime bro. Think it was being referenced to other type of player fans usually of the low brow type. Your contributions far exceeded the stereotypical label. Cheers brotha

Stop the exaggeration. It was only a four (I think), not "a lot".

Ja is tricky because he plays an immensely physical paint game (reminiscent of Wade in that regard) but has a frail frame and those falls add up

if i were a lakers fan, im a little nervous about Doncic so far. Its been a few games, theres still time to develop chemistry.. but i was not sure how the fit with Lebron would look like and so far i dont like what im seeing..

Doncic looks fat out there, he is definitely not in shape.. and he is off, even though he is still rebounding and has high assist numbers, he does not look comfortable, he doesnt seem to know how to be effective without the ball, and he is deferring to 50 year old lebron.

O well they have all of this year and next year to figure out how to fit.. but i wouldnt rule out doncic wanting to be a free agent one day to find a better fit for him
