they ALWAYS are it’s getting old now

We aren’t. This entire thing was for the Bucks to get as much compensation as possible. Teams use us to up the offer for the desired team. In the past years we’ve supposedly be in on Kawhi, KD (2x), Lillard, Kyrie, Giannis, and then we have been linked to other players. We are the team people use for rumors as we will be trading Tyler Herro every offseason. It’s tiresome at this point and I think as a fanbase we would love to have Giannis but we never got excited because we’ve been through this the past 4years and you can bet your ass we will be a trending team for some superstar that will end up in Not Miami next year.

If the Heat gut the team for Giannis how are they any different than the Bucks?

They lose out in the trade they’re frauds, they close the trade it’s “why the team still sucks, they’re frauds” legit a lose-lose situation

Heat won’t do anything. A tale as old as Giannis

Yeah there’s no winning this for Miami. Gut the draft capital and some depth, you’re still likely a 6 seed at best and then your draft picks become very valuable when Giannis exits his prime in 2-3 years, or lose out and you’re still stuck as a play-in team with no hope.

They’re only damned if they do. If they trade for Giannis it won’t be a better situation than he had on the bucks. Except for the sun and beaches

They got the guy with the 2nd most points ever in a game, that’s gotta count for something

Yep. Blown them out of the water. That shitty Heat offer was only getting accepted if there was nothing else on the table. Now there’s Jaylen brown.

This. They can only trade this years pick, and 2 future firsts. They litterally can’t get more assets

Hornets own Heat 2027 lottery protected with a chance to convey in 2028. Meaning they can’t trade 2029 due to stepien. So they can only trade either their 2030 and 2032 or 2031 and 2033 picks due to Stepien rule

Yeah I mean if this report is true I question whether Brad really has to add anything to this, like call Milwaukee’s bluff if they say they need more.. what are they gonna do pass up on a guy who was 6th in mvp voting this year for a bunch of role players and 3 firsts? Maybe, but idk I think I’d feel comfortable basically standing pat if I’m Boston with just brown

Pat Riley: “ok fine you got us. We’ll throw in Simone Fontecchio”

I don’t wanna trade JB 😭 I need him and Tatum as lifers, they got a title, I’m cool with them going down swinging together

I’m sure all the “beat writers” have their stories all written up about JB was the real problem, behind the scenes drama, locker room cancer, etc etc. It’s all so predictable.

GIANNIS YOU ARE A SAC KING

Is that like the mystery box? It could be anything - maybe even a boat!

Giannis on the wizards will be interesting

I don’t think there’s a single better situation than the Portland-Milwaukee-Boston 3-way.

No available player will return as big of a haul from a 3rd team as Jaylen. And the Bucks cannot ask for anything better than getting back their own 1st rounders as they enter an ultra-tank and rebuild.

I think the only reason it’s not done yet is Blazers and Bucks are playing chicken with the number of picks involved.

As a heat fan this is what I’m hoping for

Always were

For Giannis sweepstakes, I say yes. I think it was all about how serious the Celtics would be.

We just need to focus on the future, there are teams in much worse spots than us.

At least the weather, women, and taxes are nice!

We won a chip, ain’t nothing for us to be mad about.

We’ll beat them again, trust 🙏🏿

It always was. You technically could make the numbers work. But without Jaylen in the trade you A) don’t have enough value and B) pretty much gut your team/assets for a Big 3 in a league now where depth and quality players are key.

I mean… The proposed trades made sense in large part because Miami still had decent teams left over. Giannis / Bam / Wiggins / Powell is a pretty solid core.

This has nothing to do with Miami really, if Brown is really on offer, there’s nothing Miami can do.

Heat fans and being depressed

Giannis to Miami was a desperate move anyways.

if your next best move after missing out on Giannis is blowing it up, maybe don’t trade for Giannis.

It’s to send JB to Portland for the picks back, no? Feels like the trade the Bucks should take if so

They could keep him as tank commander for a season, have him help shape the next Bucks team, and then ship him off somewhere else for a haul of picks. If they owned their own picks they could have kept him permanently and be middle of the pack, as that seems to be the way to get good picks with the new rules, but sadly that’s not an option.

That’s the only way a trade with Cs is justified. Otherwise, Heat would have a much better package

Rent free

I’m definitely in the party where I think Kawhi gon refuse to play for anyone not in LA cause his family means so much to him

i mean if they’re just using the heat to up boston’s offer they may be playing the celtics like a fiddle.

They’d never, but they’re the one team that could be the offer easily

I guess he should make in Boston everything else but shoot 3s. The whole transfer is all about the change of the live by 3 die by 3 attitude.

I feel you but the picks are closer to a wash under the new system than they were before. Brown’s also worth a few decent picks himself so if a deal with Boston gets done before tomorrow, don’t be surprised if we flip him during the draft.

Well that’s the thing, Jaylen would fetch a ton of assets for a rebuild. So it’s better to do that than take the Miami offer

Brown and Tatum have some overlap, Giannis and Tatum on paper are a better fit. Opposing teams are gonna have a tough time keeping both at bay, and Celtics have a lot of shooters that can punish defenders if they double Giannis. If they don’t double him, he can feast on the paint.
