Playin Jimmy and Rozier for Dame and a 1st round pick.
I agree with Wes completely. BAM's struggles have to do with Spo's system not a lack of skill,or effort from BAM.
Bam for Giannis. It'd hurt to lose Bam, but GIannis is worth it. Besides, you can't have Giannis, Bam and Jimmy on the court at the same time. No shooting.
It’s funny how most of these players want out after getting a massive bag, Dame & Giannis had there chance to come to Miami win with our top players and still sign that extension. No thank you on both
Why bother🤷🏾♂️ The Heat finally have a future after the Jimmy build. Patience is key I think….also, they don't have enough to trade without trading Bam anyway.
still laughing at portland😭🤣 could’ve had some of our best young players but we’re too stubborn and now are 2-5
How are they going tu guard Murray fox and demar 😐
What would getting rid of terry, jovic, ware, and picks look like? I don't want Duncan to go😂
When it comes to bam and giannis there is no comparison if it takes bam then it takes bam. The problem is I don't see how Miami has an offer that could match what would probably be at least a dozen teams that would want giannis. Bam helps but for Miami to have a competitive offer they would probably have to give up at least two other talented guys (probably a combination of tyler, jovic jaime and a pick or two) just to even be competitive. What chance would we have of getting giannis compared to a team like okc, the rockets, maybe even sacremento idk I just don't see how giannis could end up in Miami from a talent matching level. I could see Giannis forcing his way to Miami if it ever got to that point
Giannis, who's still only 29 as of today, is straight up better than Bam, who's not a legitimate franchise # 1 player. He's a #2 at best because he can't score consistently at a high level.
I'd also say trade Jimmy to get another star to pair with Giannis, preferably one who can score. Houston has some pieces, Ingram on Denver, MPJ on Denver, or Fox on Sac
Sorry my guy but Wade was already a SUPER STAR by the time LeBron came available. Bam isn’t a SUPER STAR so it’s nowhere near the same comp
Its REAL .. the REAL question is will Spo continue to let Bam be the Main hub/guy.. they all spoke abt making adjustments for Bam and it was very clear he got the touches & more importantly he was confident & decicisve.. we’ve heard Bam on multiple occasions welcome abigger role on that end… Give it to him
I would never trade Bam for giannis btw
Bam + Rozier + Pelle & a first round pick. That should match $ easy & Milwaukee choose between keeping Dame’s huge contract or Rozier’s cheaper and expiring one.
Note: I wouldn’t trade Bam for Embiid or anyone else. Only Giannis or Jokic. You HAVE to trade Bam for Giannis if it’s available
Trade jimmy 😮🎉
Dame at $50 mill 👎 Riley is definitely not interested in that anymore as Dame is 35 & a traffic cone
Trade Bam. He is not a Star. Just a good player and great guy.
Would you guys prefer Trae Young or Dame right now? All things considered – size, age, influence on Bam, dog mentality, leadership.
And does Trae Young or Dame cost more right now?
I feel like they need to replace these two they so negative about the Miami Heat players in the team. I don’t like the negativity.
You don’t need to lose Bam to get Giannis… 🤷🏾♂️
This is Bam’s team!
Why would we want an injured plague forward…
Stick to our team.
Only person needs to be considered is Jimmy but that would mean we say we are done for this year
