He also left out how there will be a handful of teams desperate to shed contracts to avoid repeater tax or 2nd apron and decent players could be had for little or nothing other than cap dumps.

Between parity and desperation I could see it. I could also see that interview as just being clickbait lmao

Couple of things with Durant to the Spurs. Do they really have interest in extending him till 39 and is Durant dumb enough to play his age 37 year which could be his final big pay day on an expiring contract? I know Butler wasn’t dumb

This is an Apple and Orange situation. Jimmy had a players option to make everything extremely painful. If he was an expiring like KD is now, Pat would have just let him expire than take on Wiggins. Remember KD is about the money and he won’t do anything as foolish like Jimmy because for him it’s not just about his NBA contract but his endorsements so no KD won’t pull a Jimmy.

lol @ there being "Herro stans" on this board. Who posts every twitter/instagram update about Tyler, who brings him up in every post and glazes him and says he's a top 10 player in the league or untouchable? The only thing I see is a bunch of people who are lukewarm on him and think he might have the potential to eventually get it, and before this season, practically the entire board wanted him gone.

The projection is next level. There's 0 Herro stans on this board, and there's 1 Bam stan, and I don't even mean it in the pejorative sense because AirP was a Jimmy stan but still a quality poster. But have some self awareness.

Lmfao!!!! At this point trade Bam so I can prove I’m a Heat fan over a Bam fan. It’s funny the label I get for defending our franchise player. Trade him, it’s best for all parties involved because the FO isn’t going to build a contender.

I can name several Herro Stan’s, I just had a back and forth with one of them. Show me where I’ve ever said Bam is top 10 and/or untouchable. Talk your **** if you want but don’t put words in my mouth.

On the real DeRozan with Bam and Ware is asking to set basketball back further than we already set it last year. Those bigs need Three guys on the floor that can shoot 3’s with a high level of consistency and of course one of those needs to be a high level creator. Would make the Heat front office one of the dumbest at roster construction.

Think i would rather have Khris Middleton’s expiring than DeRozan’s extra year at 26 mil. At least if Middleton is healthy he gives us a true spot up shooter and keeps the books clean in 2026.

Just give me Middleton and Smart from the Wiz on expiring deals and forget about DeRozan. Maybe get Middleton to recruit Giannis.

Just makes too much sense that they hire Quinn and deal KD for players he’s familiar with.
