He's still a young player with potential that the Kings would see as a viable cheap fill in getting off of DeRozan's contract. I also included a 2nd rd pick. It's not like DeRozan is going to get them much more in trade. We could always include Highsmith if that's what the Kings prefer but something tells me they would rather have the younger Jaime with more potential. Even with all of Jaime's struggles he did give a great 40 point performance in the last game of the year.

Led Team USA to gold and people (mainly Heat fans) will try to tell you with a straight face that he isn’t the best player in the world.


Perhaps no one ever taught you this… but what and how you say things matter. You then wonder why people give you flank about Bam… you instigate people pointing out Bam’s flaws to offset your over-evaluations of Bam and then call them out as haters of Bam. That’s bait and switch.

“Best player in the world”.


If I used green font would it help you feel better about that post or would it have still upset you?

In no universe is Jaquez's value worse than Terry's at the moment. What? Jaime is owed 8mil over the next two seasons.

Even with the Rozier news I’m absolutely obsessed with your guys over/under at over 36.5 games. Last season’s Butler drama took a ton out of everyone I feel like and there are multiple players either in contract years or in good spots to have bounce back years (Bam/Powell/Rozier/Jaquez. East is awful, heat never tank and Spolestra is still the best coach in basketball.

I put the house on them getting 37+ wins but wana put even more. Anything big im missing here that should have me hold off :)?

Bam Adebayo may go down as a better basketball player than any of the monsters in space jam.

It’s not about making me feel better, just pointing out how you bring the heat on yourself with what you say. Here you are again with the bait and switch… you said that Bam is the greatest player in the world, which you have said with full chest hundreds of times in here, and I love that you really like Bam and his game that much. He is a great player and deserves die hard fans like that… with that said, just be aware that most of us disagree with that specific statement, but do agree he is a great player. That does not makes us Bam haters.

I am making my weekly attempt to keep that notion in check in here before you run rampant again with your Bam love and we all hate him nonsense. Also, pretending your statement is green font worthy is disingenuous and we all know better and that you meant it with your chest.

No **** Bam isn’t the best player in the world and no I have never claimed he was the best player in the world and been dead serious about it :lol:

Holy **** you’ve gotta be trolling, I’m sorry me messing around saying he was the best player in the world and saying he backpacked Team USA to gold (both very clearly false statements) upset you this much. Next time I post something that isn’t serious I’ll be sure to use the green font for you
