I love this type of cheating and colluding. Just like that DJJ dunk contest win. It's obvious that he didn't deserve to get out of the 1st round, yet he beat Gordon who hands down did the greatest dunk of all time. Wade, the sly devil, made it happen.

nice avi


Yours too. Almost made that one mine, but the salty tears made me choose DJJ by his lonesome.

Nice

I am really looking forward to seeing a fully healthy team in a few weeks.

Hopefully we get a fully healthy Nunn and Herro. The second half of the year will be very interesting. I do not expect much improvement but will be very happy to see if they do. Nunn playing well is likely the 3rd most important x factor for the team success.

Leonard? The problem has been Jimmy and Herro missing games and Nunn playing like a scrub. I don't think Leonard is that important. We need to implement the new guys in the rotation and allow some time for them to build chemistry. Nunn needs to step up and play like the Nunn before the injury and Herro needs to come back pronto. Robinson is not a crunch time clutch scorer, Herro has been key for us in close games.

I think Our Talent has to be balanced out. And that is what leonard Accomplishes... I am not saying. He is not talented. Maybe he is. Leonard's talents may be a little bit hidden Or maybe his talent comes out during practice Or maybe he needs a different kind of team. A much slower pace...
Who knows? What Is obvious Is that the team functions a lot better When he is around.

I think history shows that Herro and Nunn are just way to inexperience to be relied on in the playoffs in a big role. It was one of the reason I wanted to get Holiday. I have faith in Robinson in the playoffs because his role is not vast, its very specialized. Nunn and Herro are gonna be used to handle a variety of responsibilities. But hey gotta play to get experience. This team is an offensive team, it goes as the offense goes.

GALLINARI INSIGHT
The Heat worked diligently in an effort to trade for Thunder forward Danilo Gallinari up until the Feb. 6 trade deadline, but the deal never came to fruition because Heat officials and Gallinari could not come to an agreement on an extension, according to multiple league sources.

The 31-year-old Gallinari, who is set to become a free agent this summer, prioritized years when it came to an extension and wanted a deal that would have included substantial guaranteed money in 2021-22. But the Heat balked at that idea because it wants to preserve max cap space for the summer of 2021 for a pursuit of Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo, who can become a free agent that summer, and others in what should be a loaded free-agent class.

Miami’s thinking was if Gallinari really wanted to be with the Heat, he would have prioritized having an opportunity to play a big role on a contender over signing a long-term contract this summer. If Gallinari would have signed a similar extension to the one veteran Andre Iguodala agreed to with the Heat (two-year, $30 million extension with a team option for the 2021-22 season), Gallinari could have signed his long-term deal in either 2021 or 2022.

The Heat did not want Gallinari merely as a three-month rental because of the draft compensation that would have been required by the Thunder to complete the deal. In order to complete the trade with Oklahoma City, the belief is the Heat would have had to lift the protections off the 2023 first-round pick it owes the Thunder to unlock its 2025 first-round pick to trade to Oklahoma City in a deal for Gallinari.

Can't disagree with anything you said, but I do believe Herro will bring more to the table than Nunn and Robinson in the playoffs, simply because of his confidence and overall skills. Can we rely on him on nightly basis? Of course not, but the way this team is currently constructed with the addition of Crowder and Iggy, it'll benefit Herro's game significantly. With that said, I'm curious to see how Spo handle his rotations from this moment forward. Specially in the playoffs. We won a championship with Battier starting at PF, something I thought was crazy of Spo at the time. Maybe considering Crowder at that spot might not be so crazy to compete in the East.

Hmmmm,

What if we signed Iggy just as an insurance policy if we cant get Beal/Giannis cause it is evident they are staying....

We can trade him back to Goldenstate with Kelly for Draymond Green I think it would work

He’ll be an unrestricted free agent next summer. Miami will have his Bird rights. Cap hold is $1.7m. If he receives an offer greater than MLE, do you think Miami should match? We can go over cap to sign him, but is that a good strategic move?
