But it's just so easy to make good moves when you a Luka - a true 1A offenisve 3 level scorer/creator.

You can add huge limited Centers (Gafford), you can add limited athletic defensive wings that just play hard (DJJ), or shooters with size that never play consistently well (PJ Washington)

Our Build is so unique (Which i lowkey Hate) that finding any player that fits is so **** annoying and hard...I love Bam and Jimmy but I hate the theory of building a roster around these type of players..

Can't wait for an era where our core is a huge C that protects the rim and dunks everything next to a 3 level scorer with a deadly 3 point shot shooting guard/wing who's a natural scorer...then add all the usual Heat players around them.


Come to think about it : if we trade for Mitchell and draft Kel'el Ware (move Bam to PF) - it can be us next season..

If Im reading between the lines, youre saying trade Bam and Butler and get the superstar scorer the only way possible-the draft?

So you want our future lineup to be:

Ware/Filipowski
Da Silva/Jovic
Ace Bailey (your 1A offensive)/Jovic/Jaime
Jalen Williams/Jaime
Cason Wallace/Devin Carter

Youre a GD genius Rex!

My guess is Atlanta is going to package that pick to get an all str ready player to play with Murray and Trae.. they are setup very well with their lottery win, so long as they dont **** it up

The Murray/Trae backcourt doesn't work..too small. They need to choose between the two, move the other for best package of players and package that pick for a win now guy. It's Atlanta so they'll probably **** it up

Front-running seems like the best definition for this Pacers team

So the Knicks had to come back from 10 plus points to win game 1 and 2. Couldnt come back in game 3, now getting throttled in game 4. worse number 2 seed in NBA history

the knicks do a lot of senseless dribbling and wait till like 8 seconds left to make a decision on what they wanna do with the basketball.. they just keep exchanging the ball back and forth with a screen and then they go in..

Hmmm have we been looking at this all wrong? Maybe Indi will give Boston a tougher series.

Nobody in the East is THAT good. If Indy gets hot they can come out.

I think this is what gives the Heat pause when considering a tear down job. We could be right there.

I think we need to make some trades though to get the pieces to fit. Herro likely the one that’s gotta go.

Id still blow it up becuz I feel good about a quick rebuild and potentially locking down the East for a while.


We will def run it back though. As long as Bam and Butler and culture survive.

The Knicks are nothing without crooked officiating, as we experienced ourselves last season.

on 2nd thought, unless the return is a top 10 player Atlanta should keep that pick. You only get so many chances at #1, take the best player and figure the rest out later.
