2025 Regular/Offseason Season Thread Vol. 10

[Enso]

Like I said never underestimate a greeks (in this case raised in Greece) love for good weather and a beach. Mark my words Giannis doesn't go anywhere with cold weather.

[Hoops3355]

We aren't getting Giannis.

I don't even think they move him unless something crazy happens with Pelicans and they blow it up UP. The return they'd have to get to move him with the current outstanding draft picks it just doesn't get them in a place where they can reload. I'm laughing still though because Pat low key really ended the Bucks window with them jumping in the Dame trade to beat us. Looking back they'd have been better off going for just about anyone else. Figure with the new CBA they'll be taking back salary with their expirings.

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Not getting him without giving up Bam. Doubt he wants to be here without Bam too. I didn't see it.

I'd give up Bam for him in a second. He may prefer to play with Bam, who wouldn't? But if he gets traded for Bam he'll still play.

Riley is not trading Bam for Giannis. Giannis doesn’t want to come here under those circumstances either. Just a major conflict of interest all the way around. Why would the agent be involved in getting his client to Miami while screwing over another getting shipped to a rebuilding Milwaukee. Makes no damn sense. In the dreamer Heat fandom world in makes all the sense in the world but with the real world cap on it’s a whole different story. Heat will make an offer so for matching purposes it will be Ware, Jovic, JJJ, Herro, 2025 20th pick, 2030, 2032 and every possible swap we own. That will be our best offer with an extra expiring contract filler. We better hope and pray Hometown Herro is high on the Bucks wishlist.

We’re really about to have both of these 2 way monsters on our team, what a time to be alive!

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Cavs fanbase has now thrown their hat in the ring for Bam. Fanbase bidding wars going on between the Celtics, Cavs, Spurs and Lakers right now. Stay tuned.

Well if thats the best we can do, Heat fans should forget it. Bucks either owe a pick or a pick swap for the next couple seasons till 2031. They gotta get enough back to be a playoff team that means Bam has to be in the trade. If he isn't then scratch Miami off that list.
Bucks gotta answer to their own fans. They can't go through the next couple seasons sucking and gifting other teams lottery picks just to do Giannis a solid. If he's on the block, Bucks would need to get a ton back for him.

I agree with you. This is why i see Giannis ending up with one of the Texas teams. All this do right by him stuff while the Bucks’s franchise gets shafted is fandom hope traffic. The New York teams, LA, and Miami don’t have chit compared to those two teams pick wise. Houston can offer Green, Sheppard, and Smith or Whitemore with a boat load of picks including a lottery pick this year. San Antonio can offer Vassell, Johnson, Sochan, maybe Castle lottery pick this year plus a boat load of picks. I think Ware, Jovic, JJJ, and Herro is a suitable package compared to those but we fall short with the picks. 2030 and 2032 is just too far out. Bucks need picks now and in the following years to go along with the talent.

[RexBoyWonder]

If someone here really believes we're getting ANY superstar this offseason - I'm jealous of your oblivious state of mind.


We're getting Chit. We'll be lucky to keep Davion. Next season will be another desperate run for a plan-in spot.

Delusional level optimism is not a working plan. Things won't change until our approach changes.

We're giving Pat credit for other teams making dumb decisions now?

bambi is far from being a monster lmao and we will not be getting giannis either at least until we have a competent cast. something that we currently do NOT have.

I am letting you guys know Warriors 1-0 vs Minns in 2nd round. Let me know if you guys still think Heat wouldn't have been in 2nd round if Jimmy Butler were still here. if you still don't think so. I will come back again in semi-final if Warriors made it that far.

I''ve always known Heat would fall off big without Jimmy Butler. Wiggins was not going to cut it. Kevin Durant is not going to save the Heat either. Heat next best vet player would've been Kawhi Leonard or heat going to have to wait a long time to develop the right player.

BREAKING NEWS: in yet another attempt to **** on franchise great Bam Adebayo, Eddie has informed the forum that Bam is indeed NOT better than Jokic and Giannis, arguably the 2 best players in the world.

Thanks for informing us, we had no clue. Come back after he wins the championship considering that’d be the only way he did more in golden state than he did in Miami. Good luck with Currys cooked hamstring

Has anyone ever thought that this year's squad would be better without Jimmy Butler?

I swear everyone on this board just talks at each other. No one talks with each other.

[greg4012]

Random stat I came across that could be considered a little surprising in light of how half the board sees Bam:

Bam has been top 15 in the NBA in total dunks every season he has been a regular starter (top 10 3 of those 6 seasons and 12th in 2021-2022 despite only playing 56 of 82 games).

Bam and Ware were 10th and 11th this season in total dunks.

An above average perimeter facilitator would do wonders with this pair.

We were in the play in 3 years in a row...

[Vertical Limit]

Lol if anyone thinks Butler on this Heat team would have beaten the Cavs.. we lost that series by an NBA record 122 points which is absurd. butler is not closing that gap..

We would have still gotten swept.

And with the way Butler was behaving, we dont even know what Butler would have shown up. We may not have even made it to the play in.

Now hes on TNT’s/ESPN’s golden boys team and with Curry, Butler has been able to repair his inage and theyre all actibg like what he was doing on the Heat never happened… but he was way wrong, he was ripped to shreds by former players and all of the media for his actions and even brought up the fact that this isnt new of hi. - hes done this before on 3 other teams.


Until yall realize that the Heat core of Herro and Bam is what is holding us back, you will never move on.

You can add Durant to this core and im not sure we are not in the play in again next year.

You cant add an all nba and all defensive talent like Giannis without giving up at least Bam and 3 firsts, but you all say Bam is untradeable, some of yall may even think Giannis and Bam is a wash

The core has got to be blown up, and rebuilt. And if this Heat squad ever comes to terms to that and are ready to trade everything (herro, bam, firsts, etc) theyve got for a real superstar, im here and all for it.

Adding some talent at the end of his career to this squad isnt going to do **** for us. So whats the plan?

Yeah butler makes zero difference in that series. Also yes it’s past time to blow it up. Anointing Herro and Bam as the torch bearers is just on brand with the cringe Heat culture mantra that has infested the team recently

[Flash4thewin]

It seems like we are overall forgetting that the regular season and the playoffs are two different animals. Making the playoffs is all about effort. Winning in the playoffs is about actual talent.

Send Bam for Randle and I GUARANTEE we’re in the finals next year!! DO IT PAT!!!
