Fantastic move dude shot 42% from 3 last year and should have been an all star. You can also play him across multiple positions I love it.

Signals to me that Wiggins is out soon


Or….

We are trading Herro plus all the assets for Giannis

Herro and Ware+3 firsts

If I'm Dame and I know I'll be out of the entire next year, I'm not signing with any team until next offseason.

Refusing to trade Herro for guys like Mitchell and Kyrie then agreeing to do so for Giddey sounds like this FO tbh.


Bro… just because you keep spreading the BS don’t make it true. We didn’t trade Herro for Mitchell, because our offer was not beating the Cavs offer. The Cavs offer was one asset better than our best possible offer that included Herro. Despite whatever journalist say to get your attention and click, the evidence is in the final offer Utah accepted.


He just can’t help himself

If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

Few things:
1) Norman Powell is a good asset. We only got him because every team is so cap strapped and Jazz are just dumping players, thank you Ainge.
2) Norman Powell is: Herro injury insurance, he's Herro trade insurance, he's good depth and floor spacing now with Duncan gone and Burks not re-signed, he's a better asset in possible future trades than SloMo and Love were.
3) Opens up a roster spot that gives us flexibility in future moves or to get Dame on a two year vet minimum or something else.

Maybe this doesn't make sense as of now and the other moves we are working on don't materialize but this is a slam dunk trade. You can play him and all the way up to the NBA trade deadline, there are always moved to be had.

I’ve been begging for them to get a vet scoring two guard behind Herro and Powell is a dog on defense too.

Can’t be all up on our FO & then enjoy acquisitions when it suits. You either in or you out, bruh!


You’re so fuxking cringey :lol:

I'm scared guys. Something tells me Norman Powell is going to come to Miami and mysteriously get the most random injury and then never be the same player again.

At least this time around we didn't burn a frp though - like we did with Terry.

They’re saying ASB now


People say alot of things.

Achilles injuries ruin careers. Players sometimes miss a season, spend the entire next season being worse/slower/less explosive and recovering, and THEN being good again. If they ever fully recover of course. Expecting Dame to play and actually be productive for the playoffs is a massive massive stretch.

The big market is absolutely desolate. Wiz fans are pissed about Kelly Olynyk. Apparently he hurt there feelings years ago in a playoff game. Wonder what the trade turn around is for him

Giannis just made a huge recruiting pitch to Myles Turner. He’s not going anywhere anytime soon

Are we sure we want one? Jovic is the backup PF and Bam is the backup center, we only go 3 deep there then have an injury insurance guy basically
