Jimmy for Wiggins gotta be one of the most lopsided trades in Heat history, up there with an expiring Lowry and a 1st for Rozier

Problem is he has to play make for the others. Mitchel is the only other creator of any real factor in the half court. They couldn't score anything when Herro went to the bench.

Not by choice but necessity, there's nobody else on the current roster who can create. Happens when your former offensive hub and best creator decides to act like a child because he won't get 60-70 million a season at 37 years old and forces you to give him up for a less talented replacement.

And Davion's not even a creator for others, he can get by his man but he has no passing ability beyond simple kickouts. I like Niko getting run, his playmaking is needed.

Heat 9 for 23 from three = 27 pts
Cavs 14 for 23 from three = 42 pts

That was supposed to be Rozier's role, but he's worse than Duncan this year.

We just gotta trade Bam to OKC and Herro to Charlotte and we should be fine.

Them not trading Butler in the summer was pure dumba$$ery. Wiggins + 20th pick ain't close enough for Butler. Philly & GSW wanted him in the summer, we got have gotten atleast 2 1st round picks for him

Wiggins needs to do a better job and bam needs to step up on offense. These two are killing the heat on offense

And thats assuming we dont give up any talent we have when we approach that trade. If we do give up talent, we are about the same still or worse

Adding KD changes everything about the way they can guard us. And getting to the line would no longer be a problem. It would be night and day.

2016 kevin durant does that for us. 37 year old durant not so much


Wiggins would most definitely be gone in a KD trade. But crazy part is Vertical, 2025 Durant put up better numbers than 2016 KD.

I really believe he would fit in like a glove with us and help out tremendously.

Call me crazy but I think you guys are overreacting about the defense. Cavs are once again (and even more this time) hitting absolute bull. Other than a handful examples, these are not open 3s. And a lot of them are from pretty far distance. They are just extremely confident right now.

The one thing you can do to combat that is to get physical with them. Push them, grab them, body them up. Make them uncomfortable. We didn't do that at all last game, and we've continued to not this game either. Like we're scared to pick up fouls. We're playing "textbook" defense where we're in the right place and making correct reads, but not actually making them feel us. That's the difference to me and the only thing I can complain about, at least as far as defense goes. If we do that and still get our asses kicked fine, but at least get into them.

Pat is a bad gm at this point, it's time to face the fact. Sick of him, please retire.
