He literally just starts chit with you, talks about gambling, or how he's a true fan and anyone who is a realist and not overly positive about our team (minus anything to do with Bam) isn't. It gets old in and of itself yet he constantly complains about you :lol:.


Literally :lol:

Dude is weird as fuxk and he’s a hypocrite because he defends the organization the same way I defend Bam (I love the organization too obviously just pissed at the spot we’re in lol) and just spews fuxking nonsense every time he comes on here “mate” he’s a “twit” and a fake tough guy hiding behind a keyboard. He posts about me daily regardless of what I’m doing. I could not post for a week and then he’d still have something to say, he caters to the senior citizen faction of the forum that’s still brainwashed by the Culture and revere Pat as god. They claim to have me on ignore then respond to anything I say, even when I’m not quoted by others which is their favorite excuse.

He’s their little ring leader but he better than god PSD shut down because I’d go back and try to dig up his racist posts that for him banned if I could. Keyboard warrior that wouldn’t bust a grape in Welch’s front yard

And our current roster build, we cant compete with neither of those four teams, hell we cant compete against the Sixers if they somehow pull a full healthy season.

We got Bam, who is a third option, and a bunch of tito jacksons


Indy w/o Hali would beat Mia

ATL with their additions and most importantly getting Jalen Johnson back are decisively better

Heck, Char and Tor are probably better than Mia.

The desired market contractually is not there for Kuminga. This is likely all on Kuminga

If they pan out, they’re young and in the mix in the East. If they don’t, this team is closer to what Barry is suggesting where they need to trade Herro or Bam to reset. Barring something insane like Luka/ a legit superstar wanting to come here, that’s the path.


Bam is much harder piece to replace. I wouldn't trade him unless it was for Giannis or someone like that. Bam isn't a superstar, but he's one of the few all-NBA defensive guys that actually does have a good (not great) offensive game.

I'd be all for trading Herro and Jaquez for DeRozan and Monk. Then Rozier for Collins. Then look for deals for Robinson, Wiggins, and Anderson.

Ware / Collins / Love
Bam / Jovic / Anderson
Wiggins / Highsmith
DeRozan / Burks (?) / Larsson
Monk / Mitchell / Kasparas

Mia just got curved stomped in historical fashion and somehow the ‘east is wide open’ narrative is supposed to convince me that they can compete with minor tweaks eh


East being wide open is more of a reason to make moves, not just chill


Mia doesnt agree.

If they did, KD would be in Mia no?

Unless there’s some bombshell that’s about to happen
(Giannis, LeBron)

Not holding my breath


Yea I mean not getting KD is a massive fumble considering it’s open, we’ll see if something crazy happens but I doubt it

Nembhard is likely going to have a breakthrough season without Hali and lead them to a top 4 seed…


Everyone has got to stop with the whole east wide open bs.. we got no assets, we got Bam and a bunch of titos, and we are very far behind from competing

Heat focused on Kuminga. That’s their target right now. Kuminga has to come to a conclusion about his contract.

how much we talking

I don’t see the Heat going after Kuminga. Unproven, expensive for what he’s produced, puts us in cap hell, and completely put us out of FA acquisitions for 2026.

I think it’s all smoke from Kumingas camp.

If we do a sign and trade to Detroit with Duncan it basically has to be for Stewart, fonteccio, or Ivey

I actually dunno who you are. this particular ignorant post says more about you. I dont even think we’ve ever had an interaction but here you are w/ this reply directed at me. Good contribution.


Speaking of good contributions...you just derailed the thread again for the second time today to cry about 3ammy. We'd all moved on from your usual off topic agenda driven posts and hours went by with FA action and all, then you pop up yet again to bi*ch. Show some maturity or at least have some self respect and get a grip fool!

Doubt it'd be Ivey. Stewart seems most likely out of those three and fits a need as an enforcer and backup 5.

At this rate Duncan is worth the minimum in this market. What the hell did he do?
