@JonahPlatt should iraq war protestors have sat down for a discussion with american imperialists?
if you think this shit is okay you’re not worth talking to
@BigMontanaJC@DaneMooreNBA using the full mle would hard cap them at the 1st apron
if they traded randle into some other team’s cap space they would prolly be able to stay below the 1st apron and could use the full mle, but seems unlikely outside of that
@Paul__Swenson@alec_lewis man, it’s not all about that political propaganda stuff
there’s way more that connects us than divides us, including the experience that michael shared here. i hope you’ll consider taking a deep breath and watching this clip again without judgement
@dl0burna guard who plays with pace and can pass probably the best they can do, ant never gonna be a screener and u want ant shooting/driving as much as possible when he’s the pnr handler
@KareemRon33@antmanfs@DietBeginsMon@Perrywinkle1267 i just don’t get how you watched that play-in and thought “we are a giannis away from winning the title”
he’s 32. is it really worth gutting the future to be the 5 seed and have a 20% chance to make the finals to lose to OKC/SA in 5?
heat fans should have higher expectations
@KareemRon33@antmanfs@DietBeginsMon@Perrywinkle1267 maybe chet gets sick of being a role player? maybe boston’s retool goes bad and tatum is available? maybe mobley/barnes/johnson becomes KG 2.0?
wiggins/mitchell as the 3rd and 4th option just not gonna work
i would wait on the star trade until the team is closer to contention
@KareemRon33@antmanfs@DietBeginsMon@Perrywinkle1267 trade herro for a 1st and a young guy you like before he gets paid
trade wiggins for a 1st
hit on pick #13, hope ware/jaku play well with a bigger role next yr
now when Giannis/Ant lose to OKC/SA you have a real offer for Ant in a couple yrs and have the pieces to surround him
@KareemRon33@antmanfs@DietBeginsMon@Perrywinkle1267 this exactly my point. they are always solid
miami unprotected future 1sts have less value than a market like minnesota cuz when it goes bad in miami they are 40-42, when it goes bad in minnesota they are 17-65
i just don’t see the point in gutting the future for that team
@DOC323123 swap #28 for #48
pick swap in 2028
trade julius/donte at the deadline a couple more small assets
that’s probably a more realistic return for a 35 year old coming off major surgery
@philfanacc ayo/ant screen nav and consistent effort just not there, recipe for dame/giannis 2.0
also not sure jaden has significantly more value than naz+tsj so why not keep him?
u prefer naz/giannis/rudy over jaden/giannis/rudy frontcourt?
@antmanfs@DietBeginsMon@Perrywinkle1267 id probably take the miami deal if they offer all that
mitchell/smith
larsson/gardner
wiggins
giannis/jovic
bam
u think that’s a contender? i just don’t get why the heat would go all in for that team. better off with a soft rebuild IMO
wolves should be more desperate
@antmanfs@DietBeginsMon@Perrywinkle1267 miami can trade 2 future unprotected 1sts. what are the odds that miami ever bottoms out? that 2033 unprotected wolves pick way more valuable than the heat picks
what young players? jaku is an okay prospect I guess, jovic is a negative value on that contract
@DietBeginsMon@Perrywinkle1267 if the shortlist is min/miami/ny they could win a bidding war
not sure there is a 3rd team that wants KAT and bridges for multiple 1sts
miami has herro’s expiring/ware/a couple 1sts
does naz/joan/tsj/randle/unprotected 2033 1st after giannis/ant are gone beat those offers?
@Jerry7goda@DietBeginsMon they gonna be right up against the 2nd apron if they bring back Ayo.
might be worth it to save $1-$2m by moving back into the 2nd round
