Bam is overpaid & overrated. An undersized 5 & under skilled 4. The Heat were only great because of Jimmy. Jimmy could have won without Bam & we see Bam can’t do 💩 without Jimmy.
With how the Hornets jack up dumb shots, you gotta have a premier offensive rebounder, imho.
Not really, in my opinion, because culture, coaching, and mentality matter. The Hornets have a losing culture — they are first-round exit experts every year they make it to the playoffs; who's the coach again? (piss-poor play calling, defensively inadequate, and no real leadership). Lastly, their star and management have a loser's mentality (no defense, ill-advised shots, and dumb plays at the wrong time). In my opinion, Miami has culture, coaching, and a fighting mentality. This is not to disrespect the hornets are bring them down to uplift the heat. I am just stating my personal opinion on their team.
Bam is worth 1 pick at most
Great idea
Bam goes to charlotte they are top of the east
Great fcuking deal, won won both sides, problem is Pat Riley never admit that they must tank hard
Bill always looking for a way to make Miami teams worse.
Send this to Adam Silver and Mae it happen
The nba rigged Wemby to San Antonio. He shoulda been a Hornet. Imagine that team with Wemby.
Heat Culture means being a play in team every year mixed in with a fluke covid finals run and a real run. Their other modern titles were with super team lebron and getting Shaq. There is NOTHING special about their culture. Basically glorified Chicago bulls .
Love Bam on the Hornets. JJJ would have made sense too if he were still available. Jalen Duren should be traded if Pistons get knocked out of the playoffs. Maybe he should go to Charlotte.
Pat Riley is not trading Bam for Bridges and Draft Picks. Bam will ONLY trade Bam, for Giannis.
Trade scenarios are more entertaining than the games itself
Why in the fuck aren’t you absolutely BLASTING this Tom Dundon new Portland owner who’s the first owner EVER who didn’t let Caleb Love travel with the team as a Two-Way player to CUT COSTS as a sports owner in 2026!! First owner to ever do such.
That would be a ROBBERY in favor of the Heat
You just spat in my face as a heat fan. Bridges and Grant Williams….the stolen fraudulent first rounder from the terry rozier trade? Yuck. Pat Riley would Alonzo mourning and Gary Payton with him as he went to charlotte to decline the disrespect — not even a trade offer — just pure disrespect in person
Where is the full video? 😂
You could get Giannis with that package and an extra unprotected. Go for Giannis instead.
We all watched Pat Riley turn down every trade for Tyler herro I doubt some picks and two role players even gets Riley to pick up the phone.
heat will never trade bam
Bill always trying to tank Celtics Rivals
Lamelo destroyed any chance of this with his dirty foul. Not happening.
You are not saying all those picks just one of them right?
That makes sense but nothing more than 1st for a guy 29 years old with a huge contract and injury prone
And Steph for lamelo
Does he give Charlotte a chance to win the east? If not, don’t do the deal
The hornets should try to get steven adams
Zach turned his head like a dog that that heard the word ‘walk’
Where is full podcast 😢
or how bout charlotte trades kon and b miller for herro and picks. so fucking stupid bill simmons
When the Portland Trail Blazers SHOULD BE goin after Spoelstra stuck in Heat Culture purgatory to come home after a tough divorce and build his own championship culture where his heart is, detached from Riley/Wade/South Beach, Tom Dundon is looking to spend no more than 25% of market value on a Head Coach from college or Jared Dudley, as he immediately is cutting costs by not having two-way players travel with the team at all.
Calling Towns to Charlotte if New York has a bad playoff run
Portland could offer a ton more
BAM IS FROM JERSEY. NOT NC. DO YOUR HOMEWORK
Zach nose he likes this trade
Heat Guy here. 3 teamer, hear me out..
MIA receives : Giannis, Reaves, and Knect
MIL Receives : Herro, Rui, and Vando,
29’ & 31’ 1st (MIA), 27’ 2nd. 30’ & 32’ 1st (LAL)
LAL receives : Bam, Jaime Jaquez, Ryan Rollins.
honestly, who says no?
Grant Williams??
Bring him home! Bam and Coby ENC running this 💩 🔥
hell nahhhh
Charlotte could get Hartenstein from OKC for far less.
Hello. Love the commentary as a Hornets fan… This is a great trade for the Hornets. Not sure if Miami will bite though (even with the picks to be attached to Miles and G. Williams). Also, Lamelo and Bam need to “hug it out” if this trade possibility is going to happen… There might need to be a third team involved (Miami and Milwaukee included with Hornets get Bam, Miami gets Giannis and Bucks get the bulk of both the Hornets and Miami picks? Plus other players?)?
Bam is not saving that defense. Only Wemby could save that defense. And prime Dwight
Zach with a First Team All “Why didn’t I think of this?” Reaction here.
No Bridges.. they need him
Grant Williams 😂😂
So stupid Heat Don’t Do stuff like that.
Bridges does not equal Heat Culture
Lamelo will want to go. He has big city nice weather vibes 1000%
