    If we don't get Nurkic, I might hand write some serious hate mail to Neil.

    He might read it if you somehow incorporate personal valet service into the letter. :devilwink:

    I was thinking I would put it in something really fancy. Something that would make his assistant think Neil should open it.

    Don't worry, Neil is probably focusing on Len. Len fits what Olshey looks for; not good enough to make a big difference, but not bad enough to hate.

    It was a5 year deal when he signed it, so likely you saw that. We're both right!

    you arent thinking like the rest of us.

    It is Dame and CJ for Ibaka and Vuecevic and then everyone will agree.

    Heat turned down Vucevic and 1st for Dragic.

    I think that tells you that Vucevic's stock isn't all that high around the league. And I know MIA already has a Center but Vucevic has some range so it isn't like he couldn't play with another big.

    Well even if he has some range he is a traditional C, cannot defend the perimeter. I don't say his stock is high but it would be a terrible fit for Miami so it's normal they rejected.

    If they were really rebuilding (like they are rumored to be considering) then it would make sense to accept the deal and then trade Whiteside. They would get a massive haul for him.

    Whiteside is about 10 times more important and valuable than Vucevic. They can get what they need only by trading Dragic. You don't need 10 picks to rebuild. They already have some good young players and they also have cap space. It's like us trading away both CJ and Dame. It doesn't make sense. You only need to trade one.

    I am just expanding on what they are reportedly giving thought to. They are the ones gauging his value and would move him in the right deal according to reports. I agree with you in theory but I don't put Dragic on CJs or Dames level so not same situation in my eyes.

    What exactly do you think they are going to get that is a better deal? 2 firsts? Nah. Dragic is expiring.

    Dragic has 3 seasons left after this, 3rd year a player option.

    Thanks. Apparently I was duped by fake Twitter user. Still not sure I see MIA getting a better deal. Maybe slightly better player than Vucevic but not two firsts.

    Agree with you on that one for sure. Maybe they look to expand it, flipping vuc elsewhere in a 3 team deal.
