Ahhhh, the NBA off-season continues. I hope this video recommends a proper "elite guard" to the summer trade-buzz list:
Giannis PipeDreamOfLoco (we would love this one, wouldn't we?)
Kevin Urant (aging D)
Paul Fraud George (fears another knee hyper-extension, plays soft/scared now)
Pigeon Morant (elite guard but 2trippin 2whack, 2pigeon)
Zion Unavailamson (Lazier Than Hassan, Larger than Diddy)
Why would young or ja want to come here 🤣🤣
Imagine thinking you know basketball, watching the 2025 playoffs and thinking the solution is to trade depth for a “star”😆😆😆
The one thing these playoffs showed is no team should pay max $ to a single guy who can’t shoot 3s or score efficiently
Trade up for the 3rd pick,
Take that bad PG contract…draft and mold your own elite guard smh 🤦🏾♂️
None of those trade targets truly fit our team but I can think of at least 3 guards that fit that mold in the draft.
Tyler has done it at times but not consistently he hasn’t done a 45 point game yet
The younger generation of stars are mostly guards so i dont think its a coincidence. This new game if basketball is guard dominant
Tyler herro has not had those playoff moments consistently which what matters most compared to those guys
The more important conversation Wes & David should be having… is Ware’s ceiling higher than Bam? The answer to that tells you what the Heat should do about Tyler or Bam
Herro is fine and clearly the Heat have invested in him to be the lead guard.
Biggest problem is not having enough scoring threats. Defenses only care about Herro as Miamis only real scoring threat. Duncan being your second most "feared" player is a big problem. Bam doesn't look at the rim a good amount of times. Wiggins looks disinterested.
All the remaining teams have at least 3 threats. The Pacers legit have like 8 threats to score in that system averaging 10-20ppg.
Herro is right there with the Hali & Brunson. He has another leap in him. Problem is these other guards have the team built around them while Tyler just inherited a team built for Jimmy for half a season.
Ja, Trae, Lamelo are all lateral moves who are either bad defenders, injury prone, efficiency issues, or off court issues. Other than off court issues all these issues is what people knock Tyler for. So why would they trade for a player with these issues.
