Yeah seriously, how do you release a statement like "since Jimmy gave up on us anyone want him"
It seems more unprofessional than MIA usually is maybe? Why not just say "Thanks for everything Jimmy, we are starting a new direction" and "The Heat have made Jimmy available for fair trade discussions"
Cavs 31-4 and okrefs 30-5 reminiscent of 2016 GS and Spurs record runs. Spurs went 40-1 at home that year. Cleveland may match that record.
I don’t want Butler for what it would cost - but if there’s trouble in paradise, any chance Erik Spoelstra might like a change of scenery and the chance to coach the future GOAT to several championships? If I could pick any NBA coach, it might be him.
Don’t look now, but if the Spurs win against the Bulls and Dallas loses at Memphis tomorrow, Spurs will be only one game behind the Mavs.
some big games tommrow
A fully healthy OKC team is scary AF
Yeah, I haven't watched them, but they look like they're playing great. Have you watched their games? Are all their players back? Is Chet playing, or is he still out? Coincidentally, was their last loss against the Spurs over a month ago?
OKC is a juggernaut and they neither healthy nor done upgrading. Spurs better up the ante quickly
The fear is us "upping the ante" and running into a prime time OKC before the aprons catch up to them. I'm team "rather take some more time and have a prolonged window that starts when SGA isn't the hottest in town anymore."
I'm ok with enhancing the roster...but not if it means, putting all the assets into a basket just to get some 30something year old star. Having eg the Minny stuff give us opportunities a team like the Bucks are lacking at the moment. Wemby won't leave because we didn't ring, but if there is a situation, that is stuck in the mud.
OKC is scary tbh and w/o Chet... but POs are a different animal
^^ We need to stop lingering around this endless '.500 ball' and make a real push while our direct compe ors (Suns, Minny, Dubs) are struggling or in complete disarray. Mavs (without Luka for a while) are probably dropping in the play-in zone making that 6th seed attainable. The opportunity to make the playoffs is out there; we just need to grab it. A small winning streak is all it takes.

nobody here advocated to add 30 year over the hill players by sending out all our assets. The consensus here is to use SOME of our assets for players 27 and under.
Yeah, OKC's windows starts this year and if they can stay healthy, I expect them to win 4-5 rings in the next 10 years. They are already loaded, still young and have a ton of picks.
Suns are about to implode.
Beal and Nurkic removed from the starting lineup.
Idk what are they even trying to accomplish, pressuring beal into waiving his NTC doesn't help because noone wants that contract even if he agrees to leave.
Nurkic and Plumlee are both garbage, won't change a thing.
Rockets getting another top10 pick would be annoying.
Ton of picks and on the whole compared to most teams they draft really well and develop players well. And on top of that they haven't been giving out wildly overpaid contracts to bums like Zollins and telling themselves it's okay because they can just add picks and dump him. They evaluate talent AND contracts well.
It's super annoying seeing the Suns and 76ers picks convey to good lotto picks while our Hawks picks fades into a late teens picks... but maybe that bodes well for our BOS, DAL, MIN swaps.
OTOH, Utah’s Cleveland pick this year is probably worse than a second rounder, same talent range, but lacking contract flexibility. At least our CHA pick will convey as two seconds, and dumpster fire that they are, they’ll probably be in the 30-40 range.
Indeed. That is why after an immediate time frame (2 years max) I think one should view all FRPs as subject to random variance. No one in their right mind would have forecasted the ATL25 pick to be worse than PHX25 or PHI25, but it is trending that way (though I actually expect PHI to end up ahead of ATL in the standings, and PHX still can turn things around). It's one of the beefs I had with the TOR24 trade for MIN31. If you believe in random variance 7 years out (which I'd argue is the only objectively proper way to view it), there's only around a 25% chance that pick ends up better than the one we gave up.
Or as baseline bum recently stated:
"A boat is a boat, but the mystery box could be anything! It could even be a boat!"

Hot take but PG's contract is as bad Beal's, he's completely washed and it's got an extra year.
50 million a year for 16/5/4 on 42/33/81 player who's a big injury risk.
Suns are losing to Embiid-less Sixers, what a joke of a franchise.
It's like having a 10-year older Devin Vassell on a max. Disgusting to even think about.
Just wait until Devin gets his Gatorade commercial.
No OT tonight.
