The triangle offense is pure artistry, Tex Winter would be so proud of this clip. It's crazy that Jordan still averaged over 30 points per game in his career while running the triangle system. If he played today, he'd definitely be putting up 45 with ease.

Oh for sure

Getting KD when he was available lol or injury. Assuming no other star comes available and even if so I’m sure we wouldn’t be able to get them for one reason or another.

A Bam bounce back year should help us out. Left a lot of points on the court, especially early.

I'll sign up for 47 wins next year.

He’s pure garbage. He averaged like 21-10-4 shooting 40% from 3 with a 60TS% or something like that over the last 40 games and we went 16-24 over those games. I’m not sure how much more we should be expecting having him play 3rd potentially 4th option hoops due to Wiggins chucking and Spos insistence on letting it happen. I’d like to hope they’re going to ease up on the Wiggins nonsense this season, I think they were desperate to show he could be similar to Jimmy and it backfired

But yea I also expect a bounce back year and it better be (definitely should be) with him and Herro getting a **** ton of reps. Like 18+ shots a night for both of them, no reason not to force them into improving offensively and being more comfortable against every coverage.

The guard defender that can annoy him by playing off Rozier or Davion(shot well but not really respected) can't do that with Powell, that should be a major help in the starting unit.

A lot of his turnovers seemed to be a guard playing him for the spin move

Definitely curious to see how the final roster looks and what the lineup will be. If Bam and Ware improve on last seasons 3 point shooting we should have a lot of space to operate.

I'm not super high on Kuminga, but if the Warriors really are offering 2-years, $45M -- and assuming Miami's reported interest is genuine -- why wouldn't Miami come in with a 3-year, $85M deal with ~$70-75 guaranteed and ~$10-15M subject to meeting certain criteria?

That's more than DeRozan costs -- and without the same flexibility -- but if Miami is (relatively?) high on Kuminga and think he fits with Miami's roster, why not take a (relatively) inexpensive flyer on a young guy who might flourish in Miami's system?

Three years guaranteed isn't a flyer, its a gamble. We probably need to take a calculated gamble on somebody eventually, and Kuminga's age would certainly make it more palatable for me - but only if the third year's a team option. There's also the element of what Golden State wants and I'm not giving up any picks.

Look at the team's that have shown interest in kuminga, I'd be very worried if the Heat front office actually pursue him.

Suns, kings, wiz, and the bulls. No team wants to be clumped in with that quartet. Not many teams need a pf who cant shoot, rebound, defend, and has a near 30% usg rate.

There's a reason good teams aren't looking at kuminga, and it isn't all cap related.

Zach Lowe is probably a delusional member of this heat board… :crazy: this squad screams play-in at best.. im pretty sure we are an even worse 3 point shooting team than we were last year, and unless spo has changed the offense completely like i wanted him last year, attacking the midrange/paint more, then we are in trouble.
