They should waive Keshad. Precious is duplicative but better than Keshad with the exception of catching lobs
I wonder if they considered bol bol?
I disagree with David. Go back and watch his performance in the 2024 playoffs against Philly and Indiana when he got extended playing time. He’s a proven shot blocker, extremely athletic and can move his feet very well. He may not be a flashy scorer but he’s an outstanding rebounder and he’s very physical. He fills a glaring void for the team and gives Miami security in the front court in case bam or ware go down.
As a Heat fan I care just as much about Jimmy as he does the Miami Heat.
KESHAD DESERVES A CHANCE TO PLAY… I HATE THIS SIGNING
Guys the Heat had Joel Anthony for 7 years!.. I’m sure we could make Precious serviceable.
Chris Bosh rebound against Spurs helped win the Championship.
Jovic and Ware are 8 rebounds a game. You shulda traded Ware offseason when the league was delusion about what he will be. I hope I am wrong. So Precious might be precious in terms of grabbing boards cuz we need someone to.
18:37 We always knew that Jimmy was capable of stirring up shit. But he quit on his fellow teammates in a way that I never thought he would. As a long-time fan it's unforgettable imo. You don't want to be here, fine. But deliberately sabotaging the team by playing childish games was not fair to Bam, Tyler, Spo, etc, etc. The hair colors for different teams – all of it. Fuck Jimmy.
Bro the new CBA is like the US economy. The top dawgs are eating but all the guys at the end of the roster are getting screwed
If he hits threes, Bustamonte should say “My precious, 3!!!!!!!!”
Bonus points if he does it in Gollum’s voice
Jimmy era was good despite the drama, ringless and last season diva moments 😅😅😅
I typically agree with David because he's more grounded but in this instance I feel like he's down playing Precious a little too much. If nothing else he's a skilled defender with the capability of guarding 1-5 that's always valuable.
people forget he was absolutely dominating that play in game against philly. Who knows what they do that year if he’s not hurt 😭
Man, I am just glad they got some size! We get killed on the boards most nights. Having him as an option to play at the 4 or 5 along Bam and Ware, I'm cool with that. This is a move out of necessity. It's a good move
Why does Jimmy get talked about still? I'll be quitting this video before that part like he did on the team.
😂😂😂😂 jimmy live rent free in Miami heat fanbase heads it's pathetic…
Welcome back we needed another aggressive defender and big body.
I swear these guys don’t like the Heat… EVERYTHING is a negative with them
