You know who has a two year deal pimplinka?

WIGGINS


Yea I’m still feeling like something gets done there. We’re probably asking for expirings their only 1st and Knecht right now. I’m hoping we can meet in the middle by removing Knecht

Get two former 1st overall picks by the Cavs together Rob Lowe. Do Lebron right. For his legacy. For the legacy of LA.

Rui, Knecht, 1st.

Send it in now.

AI has this to say about Kaspar:

Kasparas Jakucionis, drafted by the Miami Heat, can be traded this offseason after his rookie contract is signed, but he cannot be traded for 30 days after signing, according to the Miami Herald. Since the draft was on June 25th, 2025, and the contract signing can begin on Tuesday, it means he could be traded as early as late July or early August. The exact date depends on when he signs the contract.

I told you wrong on the picks DOM, we can’t shuffle the years to get access to 5, we’ll need to find a way to get a 2027 1st using Jaime and some 2nds or something to have access to 5 if we get 1 from the Lakers. Or we could reroute Knecht if the Lakers agree to our wishes but I doubt it. We have 4 2nds available from what I see

Bucks paying Dame nearly the same for his legacy contract, while OKC pays nearly that to an in-their-prime player.

I really hope we find our in-their-prime star soon… I am tired of chasing for first fiddles.

Bucks really trotting out the same team minus Brook and Dame.

If Giannis sticks around he's the most loyal player oat man

Theyve got a 42 year old GM (not an old head stuck in his ways) who just watched Luka get traded for one 1st round pick. If he gets Knecht, Jovic, JJJ, all the 1sts and expirings, he might think thats a worthy deal. We will probly have to give up Ware too, which will make me cry like a baby.

The Bucks struck out on Dame and just lost Lopez. That is not a team u go back to if u want to win. Especially since they dont have many 1sts.

If they want to turn around their situation, they might choose to wheel and deal vigorously b4 they start sending out unprotected top 4 pix in Giannis' twilight.

And they swapped Middleton with Kuzma at the deadline which was a complete failure lol, who knows though Giannis may just be extremely loyal.

Quickest path to that is to tank this year. DP or AJ are real solid bets.

Other way is to pray for Giannis.

Two clearest paths in my mind.

Id love to see DP slide in2 a wing slot here and bring everyones level up.

It's a wild world we're living in when cashing max salary checks is confused for loyalty.

If we get a 1st for Wiggins and maybe find a way to get a 1st for Jaime and a combo of our 4 2nds I’d be curious to see who offers up more than expiring money, 5 1sts, Ware, and Jovic, maybe KJ if necessary.

Pisses me off tbh as a fan.

Giannis coulve jumped ship and been added to the post bubble team instead of Lowry. We had space.

That'll forever go down in Heat history as a "what if" moment. Wed be 4 time champs or some chit right now in the Giannis era.

To be fair Giannis did what we have been incapable of doing for the past decade +. Actually win and to win in a marker like Milwaukee is very impressive.

Luckily for him he had a front office that wasn’t scared to make moves, went out and got Holiday for whatever it took and got the job done.

The Bucks won because they had Giannis lol

If the Heat had Giannis for the last decade, do you think we’d have only one Finals appearance like Milwaukee does?

IIRC wasn't the issue that we had extended Bam a summer before we technically had to which compromised 2021 cap space?

Every championship team wins because of their best player in the end more times than not but making the correct moves around Giannis is what helped seal the deal. If they don’t add Jrue that prior summer they don’t win.

Yeah. We rewarded Bam instead of maxing out our options. Was super weird. Maybe Giannis had already relayed his decision and we pivoted.

Its wild how we then got Lowry and he basically face planted. Then we upgraded to Rozier who has been the worst acquisition in NBA history.

Meanwhile, Giannis got a title and we got Cronined, lol.

No worries though. I love our squad and potential atm as Im a much bigger fan of homegrown talent. Thats why Im always on the tankwagon.

He would get that anywhere via s&t, no?
