Free Bam at the beginning?! Must’ve saw my sig.
Trae or Ja would definitely do wonders like Teague is saying

For Trae they probably wouldn’t, for Ja you do it but the grizzlies have Edey so I’m sure they’ll just keep rolling with him and we’d likely work out something else

For whatever reason…. I can’t see the twitter post….
But if they could add a top talent, and only loose out on one of JJJ or Jovic and use rozier/duncan as filler that would be a coup plus picks.
I think they key, is try to lock up Larsson, Mitchell and Anderson for depth.
I think someone posted why Duncan would not work though

Re: 2025 Regular Season Thread Vol. 9
I'm all for going after Trae or Ja, as long as Ware is not included. If we are trading him, it's for another disgruntled big.

Warriors look amazing. What a miserable time to be a Heat fan.

Never trade a potential elite big for any puny PG’s not named Steph Curry.

Re: 2025 Regular Season Thread Vol. 9
Morant did a real poor job of endearing himself to a potential trade suitor if his goal is to leave Memphis. I’m not even mentioning the finger gun celly but pissing on a rookie post game and throwing a shot at the fan base. Yeah i’m sure the front office got its godfather package ready to bring that into this lockerroom lol. Maybe Durant does seem more realistic by the day

I’m not too worried about it tbh, it was a competitive and intense game and emotions run high. He had some hecklers behind the bench so I’m sure that’s mainly who he was referring to with the fans, as for the players I’m sure everyone was talking trash all night, he hit the game winner and earned bragging rights so it is what it is. If we didn’t want that to happen we needed to beat him, they’ll be good pick and roll/pop partners in the future

Re: 2025 Regular Season Thread Vol. 9
Looking at what our potential offer for Durant would look like and how it could potentially stack against the asset filled Texas teams. Right off the bat need to match Durant’s 54.7 million and Suns can’t aggregate players
Rozier 26
Wiggins 28
For
Durant 54
These two contracts above are the easiest match near dollar for dollar. Have to get Wiggins off the books to compensate for Durant’s extension. Separate deal would have to be consummated in order to get Suns what could possibly be Jovic and JJJ.
Jovic 4.4
JJJ 3.8
for
Cody Martin 8.6
These two contracts equal 8.2 million. That gets them to Cody Martin’s expiring 8.6 million contract. Can possibly get some 2nd round picks in this separate deal as too not look too fishy with the league even though they will know we are loopholing the aggregate rules. Still nothing stoping us rule wise from making separate deal.
Now comes the pick compensation. Suns will want at very least the GSW pick this year and our 2030 pick will be of huge value to them since they flipped their pick with Utah to stock pile some earlier picks. Not sure if an extra pick in 2032 will need to be included.
Final sum parts of deal
Miami deals
Rozier
Wiggins
Jovic
JJJ
2025 GSW pick
2027 pick swap
2029 pick swap
2030 unprotected pick
to Suns for
Durant
Cody Martin
Future 2nd rd picks
Looking at it on paper it seems like a very competitive offer. On another end it looks like a bit of an overpay as well. Just wanted to put it out there.

Jimmy wasn't playing for us the way he's playing now...you are seeing playoff Jb
We squeezed every drop pat could out of him. I am not paying 60 million dollars to Playoff jb, He hadlike 3 chances in playoffs
would pay 60 million dollars to playoff Jordan Though.

I don’t think the Heat go anywhere near him. Doesn’t seem to be a character fit at what the cost might be. They have taken in misfits before as reclamation projects but doubt the brain trust is ready to toss in assets for a potential character loose cannon.

Maybe but we’ll see, they had no issues bringing in Jimmy and he’s a bigger head case and was older. Jas moreso young and dumb right now with mainly off court stuff but let his emotions get the best of him a little last night, it happens.

Butler was co signed by D Wade. And though Butler was a bit of a competitive head case he had zero off court concerns. I think Ja ends up staying in Memphis where they already have a comfort level with him. I don't think he's going to be requesting "Miami Only" in trade any time soon.

Well balanced resulting squad with fire power, defense and depth IMO:
Larsson/Mitchell - Rookie G?
Herro - Duncan/Martin/Larsson
Durant - Highsmith/Duncan/Martin
Bam - Anderson/Durant
Ware - Bam
