You guys are the most consistent thing about the Miami Heat
At 34 next season they have to pass in Jimmy !
Trade For Kevin Durant, Paul George & Eric Gordon, Then Send Tyler Herro, Josh Richardson, Duncan Robinson, Orlando Robinson And 3 Future 1st Round Picks To Phoenix & Send Jimmy Butler To LA 💯
Bam and Butler do not make a good pairing as your top two salaries. Because of Bam's lack of scoring, he needs to be matched with an alpha scorer who is not lackadaisical and laid back like Jimmy. Jimmy's game complements the AD type of big man, not a Bam. Because the Heat are at a crossroads, they cannot commit ultra-max money for Jimmy given his age, scoring and availability. I would trade Jimmy at this point.
Awesome work as always. Wes & David.
KD was awesome to watch in Brooklyn but he let the city of New York down. As someone who is a local. It’s a shame he chose Phoenix over Miami. He needs a system to thrive and Miami is the place.
There are many players the Heat would trade Bam for, Bam is not even a top 25 player and I’m a big Heat fan. Bam is not that guy, he’s a number 3 on championship team, maybe a 4.
They should win this series if Bam is only going against a 37 year old & Luke Kornet… but we all actually know Bam won’t do nothing against those guys but shoot fadeaway jumpers
David Ramil reminds me of the bad guy in action movies.
Glad to see you have your offseason talk started already! ☘️☘️☘️
We need a rebuild this roster is too small and lacking consistent shooting and offense… we know we cant beat Denver even with 100% health. Keep Bam and Jimmy and do a overhaul focus on a healthy consistent bigman to help Bam and young 3pt shooters and some defensive role players. Now adays u need to rebound alot and average 120points a game even if its a 3pt shootout and ur just tryna outscore the otherteam and sacrifice some defense…try to get Durant and a big man
The goal is to win a championship and not just have a good run or to just lose in the Finals. If they can't beat the Nuggets or the Wolves or even the Celtics, then the Heat aren't good enough and they need to make improvements.
David has a point though, run it back!!! 🔥🔥🔥
If we were healthy this would be a completely different narrative. Keep jimmy, bam, and the young prospects. Injuries messed us up not the lack of talent and skill if not we would not have made finals and conference finals. Run it back next season. If we are healthy we can make it to the finals.
