@ChefTrillie Nope, now we just name chasing

[Jamaal Whaley @TreRock]

@5ReasonsSports @Birdey954theWin They are barely in position to get giannis now and if a team like SA or OKC or Houston. Decides they want him they can easily throw together a better offer, then the Heat have to hope Giannis sticks to his guns about staying east

[Jamaal Whaley @TreRock]

@mph_824_ They def keeping him, they like him too much

[Jamaal Whaley @TreRock]

@notdigitaldam Play with the better team in Portland and leave as a FA and go to Miami next yr

[Jamaal Whaley @TreRock]

@Alf954 It’s crazy how some podcasters keep trying to convince us that this FO can figure it out because they were able to do in 2004, they pretend 20yrs haven’t went by and that they were great in the Jimmy years.

[Jamaal Whaley @TreRock]

I’d be okay with getting Giannis. But let’s be real: a lot of this hype is because it gets clicks. The team still builds like it’s the ‘90s/2000s. We don’t have a young talent anywhere near Wade’s level, and we’d have to unload every asset to get Giannis. He’d make us relevant, just like Pierce, Garnett, and Johnson made the Nets relevant. The problem is that run lasted one year, ended in the 2nd round, and Brooklyn spent the next decade paying for it.

@BradyHawk305 @GregSylvander Wow Brady falling in on then company line

[Jamaal Whaley @TreRock]

The alternative is trusting your scouting department to find the next breakout star, like OKC did with Shai or the Knicks did with Brunson. Maybe Jaylin Williams is that guy. I’m not paid to find him, but I’d rather bet on youth and upside than overpay for someone leaving their prime.

@NBATRADERUMORS8 No giannis is telling the bucks he doesn’t want to go to Boston

[Jamaal Whaley @TreRock]

@KennySpenceNBA Darius Acuff or Caleb Wilson but they won’t be there so Brayden burries, Philon, or yaxel

[Jamaal Whaley @TreRock]

@NaijaPrinc3 When/if we get giannis we will be the 2026 version of the kg Paul pierce joe Johnson’s nets team.

[Jamaal Whaley @TreRock]

@ChefTrillie We are down bad if we do this. This like when the nets gave up all that for Paul pierce kg and Joe Johnson to go nowhere

[Jamaal Whaley @TreRock]

@SeeRacists Sounds like a job with ice is in his future

[Jamaal Whaley @TreRock]

@cryptojourneyrs @Alf954 I thought this was you

[Jamaal Whaley @TreRock]

@5ReasonsSports *shouldnt

[Jamaal Whaley @TreRock]

@nic_rohloff I don’t think it’s really better than our offer.

[Jamaal Whaley @TreRock]

@HeatNationCP Bam’s face says it all in this pic

[Jamaal Whaley @TreRock]

@hottakeharry A part of me hopes Portland gives up the farm for him he stays one yr doesn’t sign the extension and signs as a free agent with Miami, we keep our young talent and then build around Giannis next summer

[Jamaal Whaley @TreRock]

@RoyalAShepherd I wouldn’t be mad. This is the downside of giving up too much for a star. No young players, no assets, no cap space—so now you’re forced to fill the roster with aging vets and chase names instead of talent.
