Sounds like he’s not a fan of the Grant signing.

It was just so stupid

 

[Dr. Jones]

Miami about to get better.

Hoping for Brooklyn though. Maybe we can get in on a 3-way that gives us something. Ayton somewhere, Finney Smith and Claxton come our way would be awesome.

It was just so stupid

100%

 

[Dr. Jones]

Taxation matters baby!

And so does Jimmy and Bam apparently. haha

The Jerami Grant signing was like... What? That was a gross over pay.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Harden and Harris would be something.....

If Dame goes to Miami that will be two eastern teams to get better. Boston and the Heat, the West is the Best.
Well Charlotte got rid of Jordan and brought back wife beater and the 2nd pick.

A Heat trade package will realistically include some combination of these pieces:
Miami assetsHeat 2028 and 2030 1sts
Heat 2027 and 2029 swaps
Tyler Herro
Nikola Jovic
Jaime Jaquez rights
Kyle Lowry expiring

That's not much for a superstar that just averaged 32.2 points on 64.5 TS%—both career highs.

Brooklyn is the other team Dame expressed interest in. The Nets could easily outbid Miami's best offer:
Brooklyn assets
Nets 2029 1st
Mavs 2029 1st
Suns 2025, 2027, and 2029 1sts
Suns/Nets swap in 2028
Nets swap in 2030
Noah Clowney rights
Dariq Whitehead rights
Day’Ron Sharpe
Cam Thomas
Ben Simmons

The Nets can offer more and still have leftover assets to go make another move, whereas Dame to the Heat would be Miami's final big move.

I officially have no clue what the Trail Blazers are doing, but if they blow it up, I want their scouts.

That's a garbage offer by the Heat. The Trail Blazers would be better off keeping Lillard and watching him on the bench.

 

[Mainstreet]

Now the Thunder get a top Euro. I hope the Suns are scouting overseas players.

Good thing the Blazers locked up Grant or they’d be in real trouble.

Lol

 

[Phrazbit]

Do you? They’ve done a terrible job of getting talent around Lillard.

And I don’t think anyone knows what the blazers are doing… especially the blazers.

I remarked earlier, the Trail Blazers have great scouts. They need to look at ownership and their front office for the fix.

 

[Phrazbit]

Brooklyn makes the most sense. That would be a scary team and, thanks to us, they have the capital to get him.

The Trail Blazers had McCollum, Nance Jr., Simon and sent a number of good players to the Clippers.

They purge themselves inexplicably.

 

[Mainstreet]

Thomas Bryant goes to the Heat.

Could this help clear the way for the Heat to use Bam in a trade for Lillard?

[Phrazbit]

I know teams and players have backed out of deals during this moratorium… if I’m the Blazers I’m shredding that Grant contract or telling him to find a sign and trade.

It isn’t even official yet and it’s one of the worst contracts in the league.

Tyrese Haliburton agrees to a 5 year extension worth up to $260 million.

Cleveland got better too.

Nah, miami would be better if they can keep bam and jimmy.

I’m talking about in terms of what the Blazers can get.

Did Twiiter go down?

It's not working for me.
