Nobody is aggressive on this team other than Davion. That needs MAJOR work.

Riley never wanted Mash, he wanted Mitch Richmond. And I'll always wonder if things go different if that's the guy he trades for in 96-97 instead. He fit our roster better being a better shooter and slasher which is what we needed since Zo and P.J. were already operating in the post. And he had experience playing with Timmy. But the Kings had no interest in our offers.

Nah he's far superior. But you're right otherwise about what comes after being a crap shoot, because I also have Magic, Kareem, Duncan, and Kobe over LeBron too.

This is just telling everyone you don't know **** about basketball dawg :lol:

Nah you're just really mad about LeBron facing the critiques he has. Its extremely obvious lol.

Whatever silver-lining nuance you can manufacture that justifies running it back hopefully is gets rejected by whatever reasonable voices within the org, assuming they even exist.


You'll get over it, we all will


How many firsts would it take for you to support trading Herro?

If we traded him at the deadline the way he was playing, we might’ve gotten a couple firsts.

Kobe over LeBron is trolling dawg. Like ranking Derek Jeter over Arod. You're the one bringing up LeBron in a thread about Heat vs Cavs in 2025 btw :crazy: but yeah I'm the fuming one

Kobe/Lebron is close. It can go either way. IMO. Lebron has better stats overrall,. , Kobe has more impressive playoff runs against better teams and one extra title

Mitch was the dude. Wouldve been exactly what we needed.

I remember loving Monster Mash in college though. He was fun. When he got traded to Charlotte and wrecked us in the playoffs with the behind the back passes and chit.....that was humbling.

Random question. Anyway I'm not personally a fan of "blowing it up" for picks because I don't want to sit through another 07-08 type season, and "firsts" in a nutshell without knowing the team, protections, etc. means nothing. If you're hellbent on an answer, the more interesting hypothetical for me is "would you move Herro, Bam, whoever for x player or y player?"

Kobe won a title averaging 15.6 PPG on 41.1 TS% in the finals, that's supposed to be a case for being over LeBron HOW? :lol:

Kobe played in the West his entire Career against wayyy better competition. Lebron played in the LeEast most of his career and a decent chunk of that time on superteams

Kobe was 5-2 in finals. Please remind the class what LeBron's finals record is. You can even include the one where there were no fans and no travel. Hope this helps!

And yes, you are.

Would you move Bam and Herro for Giannis?

If someone in the year 2025 tells you Kobe is better than LeBron it’s a dead giveaway they don’t got a fuxkin clue what they’re talking about lol

What does that have to do with what I said lmao? You can't just deflect when you don't like the facts. If you play like **** and win a ring that isn't a feather in your cap. It's like if LeBron had won in 2011 playing like Evan Turner, that wouldn't be something anyone talking up his case would brag about without looking dumb because we all would know Wade was the reason they won.

Return to Miami Heat
