The need for a franchise cornerstone remains strong. Role players don’t win playoff games

Imagine prime Bosh instead of Bam. We’d probably be up 2-0.


I agree. I said it before, but I will say it again: Bam is not a franchise player.

He’s a good player. But if you were looking for a player to build your franchise around there’s plenth of other players.

I asked ChatGPT where it would rank Bam in the rankings of a player for a franchise over the next 10 years and it gave some good insight too.

Spoiler:
Bam is probably in the 15–20 range for a 10-year outlook. He’s one of the best defenders in the league, super switchable, a great culture guy, and he’s just 27. But offensively he’s not a #1 or #2 option, and he may not age as gracefully as some perimeter stars.

Still: If I have a scoring guard or wing as my #1, Bam is exactly the kind of big I want next to them—smart, tough, selfless, and elite on D.


Every Bosh led team was a top lottery team lol

Ware gave away all momentum, I’m not sure he can play the rest of the series. Also going away from our best players to force feed Wiggins screwed the offense

I don't know if there's something wrong with him physically but Wiggins needs to be glued to the bench, he's throwing everything off.

Wiggins and Herro with these square up wide ass dribbles going nowhere. I wish they would stop that.

Bam with a turnover, Wiggins and Herro bad dribbles. Bad court awareness

Yep Bosh was a number 2/3 never a truly capable number 1 if you are serious about winning a title.

Sitting in the paint because nobody has proven they can shoot consistently from outside. It's that simple.
