the move bam to the 4 talks is nice if we had a spacing (an actual spacer don’t you dare say thomas bryant can shoot) next to bam but those are rare , the “we need a real center “ talks feels like no one watches the games, it’s always been offense that we needed not someone clogging up the paint

What about Heat w/o Bam?

Spot on, Bam is an elite centre. The fact he isn’t 7 feet and doesn’t block a lot of shots does not take away from this. Our rebounding numbers with him on the court are elite, our interior defense is elite, our perimeter defense is elite. Heat fans like to complain but I’m not sure blaming the guy who ensures you are a top 5 – 10 defense each year (despite having garbage defenders around him) and chips in 20 ppg on offense is the answer. Would Porzingis have been nice? Absolutely, but that ships sailed, and not many other players are Kristaps Porzingis.

Knicks dominated the Cavs in last years playoff series
Punking Mobley and Allen on the O Glass just for bam to pretty much negate that advantage for them in the next series, making Robinson especially, very hard for thibs to play.
Same regard fans call bam soft and think he doesn’t have an impact on the glass just cause he doesn’t have gaudy rebound numbers. Even though all the stats tell us the opposite. He is a very good rebounder and ELITE box out guy.

But I thought tall = rebound??
