Get the the whale 🐋!!!!
Dream casting.
Not giving up the farm for this we dont have a d wade on this team to Pair him with. What's the plan. We become the bucks south? Bam and gianis carry us past okc?
So we keep our first and get gianis. Lol
Who cares how he fits with bam what the rest of the team look like. My eyes are rolling harder because no one wants to talk roster and youre talking in circles about bam and giannis
Sounds like he’s about to fire his agent
So in wes world were keeping wigs and powell and davion and were there. Maybe but that heat team minus giannis doesnt look like a chip team to me. Seems like Homer glasses
Now bams on the second unit. This pod is epic
kuminga plus a 1st all day if we're going younger. Im more a fan of selling all the vets minus bam. getting 2 more firsts and going young

I hate this narrative of fans saying “just trade for a superstar and figure it out” that’s not how basketball works. You need to bring players in based off fit otherwise you will not get the best out of your superstars. A perfect example of this is the Pheonix Suns
These guys are deluded and don’t know anything about basketball. To think fit is not important is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. He tried to use the argument about the heat big 3 not realising that all three of them play different positions and have different style of plays that complement each other. Bam and Giannis have the same style of play and play the same position.
WHY WOULD MILWAUKEE, TRADE GIANNIS, FOR A SHITTY PACKAGE, NOT INCLUDING BAM? SO THEY CAN BE MEDIOCRE LIKE THE HEAT ARE NOW, WITH THOSE PLAYERS😂👎🏾 TYLER JAMIE WARE👎🏾💩 PLATTER… YOU TWO HEAT FANS ARE TOTALLY OVERLOOKING WHAT MILWAUKEE ACTUALLY WANTS
my concern is i don't see no world we can acquire Giannis without bam being involved. i just don't think we have right now to acquire a guy at that talent
This Giannis trade this all BS how many stars have they said they wanna come to Heat and fkn never to be seen Lillard Durant like a fart in an elevator stinky Gas Giannis not coming
If Giannis becomes a Heat, Bam instantly becomes the best player he has ever played with (excluding all star games)!
So just get the superstar and figure it out later huh..? That is so stupid. It's like saying I agree to make five thousand a month payments on a super car you got from the original owner when you have a job paying you 25 thousand a yr. Just get the super car and figure it out later. Oh and it might need a transmission replacement too by the way. Talk about putting the cart before the horse. That's a sign of desperation. That's a sign of ego taking control over common sense. That's something a child would do not a responsible grown man. You act like there aren't examples of super teams not working out. Giannis is not skilled enough like a Jokic or a Alexander to pretend he and Bam can play together. He's an aggressive bull. Something we wish Bam was consistantly then we wouldn't need Giannis. So now we're going to ask Bam to turn into a floor spacer on a consistant basis..? What are we doing⁉️ Are we that desparate⁉️ The issue is Herro and Ware fit better with Ginnis than Bam and older breaking down Powell… Like it or not, Giannis is more one-dimensional than Alexander and Jokic. He's limited offensively. He doesn't shoot free throws very well and you better have a lot of knock down snipers which we don't have if you trade players like Herro and Ware. Especially with Norm starting to breakdown because his age which is affecting his shot. Sorry but we're going to turn into Milwaukee in search of players that can play with Giannis and I think you feel that too but you can't resist the shinny object can you? Well that shine is going to disappear a lot faster than you think. If Giannis was more versatile with his offensive game he would make the Milwaukee situation work if everyone was healthy. And what if Giannis does pop an achilles because of this calf issue, what are you going to say then, 'oh it was worth it to try.' Really..? We'll be right back to where we are now.
Perhaps worse. Especially if Ware is turning into a young monster because he doesn't have an a-hole coach anymore, what do we look like then? No thanks‼️ Giannis is not a good fit with Bam whether he wants him on this team or not. With Giannis starting to break down, and him not being versatile offensively enough to make this deal if it's going to include Ware. The more perfect trade is Bam, Norm and Wiggs for Giannis and you know it. Bam and Giannis are duplicate players with Giannis being the much better version. The issue has more to do with Spostra not being able to put up with a young talented player that has occasional struggles named Ware. And Bam not playing up to his potential consistently. That's our real problem right there. Can we trade Erik Spoelstra instead? I know that'll never happen, but in a few years you're going to probably wish it did if they trade Ware. I've never seen any coach win a championship without great players, so Spo's manifested Pat Riley wannabe persona is overrated. And just because you can't see that now because all you can think of is the Superstar in a Heat uniform, doesn't mean that I'm wrong.
