Winslow has 2 more years left in the current contract after this szn no?

I'm sure not being able to play this szn is a part of the reason, but the main reason has to be that he was no longer in team's plan going forward.

No idea who Zach Kleiman was, but lessgo Kleiman

Need some Winnie in the Playoffs, tommorows game can make or break them. Winslow taking JJackson's mins would be great as he's putting up disastee splits

Can't believe Clarke's numbers at ASB: 61/42/80, 20 and 10 per 36 with positive Ast ratio, need to up my mans mins and stop these rookie restrictions

2 years left on his contract with the 2nd being a team option that was likely to be declined for cap space in 2021.

You don't think Winslow not being available this year is part of the reason? Miami now has more 2 vet rotation players who play defense(something the bench desperately needed) for this year that will strengthen this team's chances at a higher seed and to go deeper into the playoffs. Another reason would be Miami jettisoned 2 2 year contracts for 2 expiring ones(hopefully they decide to resign Crowder). The trade accomplished way more than I expected.

Still wish a defensive big were acquired in the trade(really hope some defensive big gets bought out, Miami really could use a defensive big off the bench).

Ben's really good, and usually I would be all for a quirky and unique player but not shooting's just too licentious for me to support. I cain't. He probably would be Dpoy if Sixers were good

Weird random thought I had - but how far does this Heat team go with 2006 Shaq?

Probably still semi-conference/conference finals

Clips wasted coins on Morris that they should've spent for a playmaker

Embiid is so meh at times. Why walk back to the 3 point line at all there?

Hearing Reggie Jackson. That might be ok but too many me first guys as is.

I literally said that that must be a part of the reason. lol

Yes I did like the trade for the reasons you mentioned. I think the improvements were marginal as far as talents go, but because Winslow is injured, and others had issues with the team (roles, motivation, fitness, whatever the case maybe) I've made my peace with it.

Ben, Jrich, Turrible, a lot of length and quickness on wing defense there.

I'm staying put in we don't want 6ers camp. They've beaten all of the elite teams this szn, if everything lines up, they are still a force.

Zion is apparently having a monster night. Too bad they've lost too many games to catch up but they're surely coming

nice to see Hassan humbled after carrying on like a muppet against our reserves the other night. a nice stats season for a bloke playing with an absolute superstar and they still won't make the playoffs
