@RjNol That toss was super wack, the aim however absolutely diabolical. I give it 9.7/10

[Jowall Prieto @jowall_p]

@SaucyTakez The talk is sign & trade Norm for that number in exchange for Duncan.

[Jowall Prieto @jowall_p]

@KevinOConnor Said a lot of nothing, and mostly hypotheticals but sure we are all allowed our opinions.

[Yossi Gozlan @YossiGozlan]

The Heat are now hard capped to the first apron by using the 125 percent expanded trade exception for Giannis Antetokounmpo.

They have $18.1 million in first apron space to fill 4 roster spots.

They can create more space by trading Nikola Jovic or if Andrew Wiggins opts out.

[Ariel Attias @Arielattias2]

So glad we publicly begged for GA to demand Miami only. Because that wasn't embarrassing, may not have pissed some people off, and certainly has always worked in the past.

Don’t want to gut the roster for dmitch/kd/dame/giannis, also don’t want to tank. Basically they don’t want to win

[Jowall Prieto @jowall_p]

@5ReasonsSports @PrizePicks 100% Heat, need the assets to go to war in an asset heavy NBA. The CBA change was not kind to Miami Heat FO and their old ways of building or asset management. They need to prove to fans they can build in the new CBA.

[Jowall Prieto @jowall_p]

@ColdBwoyy @TheDivisionGame Cheating is still a thing, and PVE version of it with nerfed gear is basically the sell nobody wanted. Had they made PVE with PVE rated gear, things might be different, the fact you have to spam the dark zone for the seasonal modifiers to stay active is no no.

[Jowall Prieto @jowall_p]

@iBeFrankyG I think he added a trade kicker in it so they wouldn't do him like that.

[Jowall Prieto @jowall_p]

@iBeFrankyG You would think Atlanta would have waited for this until the shoe drops on the bigger trades, like Giannis, but also quick thinking on their part, cause he was going to be chased by Miami if we landed Giannis.

[Jowall Prieto @jowall_p]

@TermineRadio I mean, theres only 3 all NBA teams, with each having 5 players in it, so essentially Top 15 players get in. Bam has never made a top 15 NBA player list so that makes sense, hes generally between 20-25 on the list most years. But hes been All Defense teams, and top 3 DPOY finalis

[Jowall Prieto @jowall_p]

@flasportsbuzz what about the part that Giannis doesn't want to resign, the 4th hypothetical is Portland willing to send all those assets with a chance to convince Giannis as he does his interview rounds in the following offseason.

[Jowall Prieto @jowall_p]

@TheDivisionGame Yeah the coins lost in escalation sucked, haven't dared to run another high tier again because of that.

[Jowall Prieto @jowall_p]

@wcgoldberg So Yes the Heat were lucky to not have made that trade.

[Jowall Prieto @jowall_p]

@wcgoldberg Its not revisionist History, what an awful take from you and I am fan. It didn't work because there's things more important than stats, eFG, points or assist, its health. There were already concerns there with that, When Giannis & Lillard played together they won at a 70% rate.

[Jowall Prieto @jowall_p]

@DigitalAdel @EternalBast That was nice, brought me back to my childhood in early 2000's.

[Jowall Prieto @jowall_p]

@tankRaddi09 @TheHerd @colincowherd They said the same thing about Jimmy, yet 3 ECF, and 2 Finals later says otherwise, they never got Jimmy his #2 because Miami was low on asset accumulation and Bam wasn't as good as he is today. Giannis is better than Jimmy ever was, and Bam is better today.

[John Jablonka @JohnJablonka_]

I really wonder where the disconnect is between all impact stats for Wiggins vs the general fan view on him

He never really been a positive impact player offensively, EVEN with the Warriors with arguably the best offensive player

He's also a horrible creation player outside of being able to "somewhat" punish smaller guards in the post but even that is average at best. One of the worst tunnel vision players that also stops the ball more than I count. Doesn't make decisions quickly, kills advantages, loose handle.

His elite rim finishing with the Warriors where he shot in the 70s dropped to around average. His transition numbers are at best borderline above average. He's not a high 3pt volume guy, only capitalising on hitting wide open shots but doesn't provide much spacing. Doesn't draw fouls either. The one pretty good thing he does is crash the glass very well

His defensive impact was elite few years ago but that has significantly dropped in the last 3 years. Teams have done better on defense without him on the court. Still a positive 100% but nowhere near what he was then and that drop means a lot more when the offense doesn't make up for it

[Jowall Prieto @jowall_p]

@GregSylvander @daaaavveeee Do you think the FO is slightly a bit responsible for this in how they approach building a team and the cards they show the fans of what they are willing to do moving forward?

[Jowall Prieto @jowall_p]

Yes, please take my money.
