thank god cuz we needed another defender
Locksmith back
Offseason complete ✅
Let’s go!!
5.5 is a good price for his skills. I like it.
The whale
I’d be lying if I said I was moved by this. But respect to Haywood for the loyalty. I’m sure it was probably the best financial deal for him too but I appreciate that he didn’t just use his time on the Heat to take a marginally better deal somewhere where he won’t get the same type of development. Fuck it, lets see how far this guy can go.
Surprised he was that cheap tbh.
They didn’t overpay another role player
Thank God
We finally got our whale
Good price for him, much happier with this than the insane contract they offered Caleb
Solid deal for Locksmith
2 yrs/11 mil?
Not bad at all, good to have him back
5.5 is cheap. I honestly rather have this than Caleb on a loaded deal.
LETS GO MAN
Glad he’s coming back. We need all the wing defense we can get.
2024-25 champions locked up. Sleepy pay no more!!
That gets us right up to the second apron so that’s pretty much our offseason boys.
This a really good value contract for his skills. I’m surprised he couldn’t get more somewhere else but I’m glad we kept him.
Good
Thank you Locksmith. I would’ve lost my mind if we lost all our wing defenders in one offseason
I love the PR in these releases: “stays with franchise that developed him into an NBA player” i.e. offered the same or more money after taxes as anyone else.
I think this is a movable contract so good for him and the org.
We can use all the dudes, who can defend and hit a wide open three, we can get.
Good. His offense is hit or miss but he’s absolutely an elite wing defender. We need to have his skillset available depending on the matchup.
Way better value at that price than the $65 Caleb was offered.
Caleb’s agent saved us. He’s a better player but if Jaquez takes a leap this year I’d prefer to keep the ball in his hands and Caleb might complicate that while Highsmith won’t

nice and cheap. The limit on what we should spend on our development projects.
