    It can’t be easy to deal with a legend and HOFer like Riley.

    I think Cronin is slightly smarter than we give him credit for, if he actually tricked CHA into picking Miller instead of Scoot.

    Locked on Heat whining about why don't we want Tyler Herro.

    OMG even their fucking trash podcast are entitled. This shit is annoying as hell. Apparently they're doing us a favor by taking Dame.

    "You're not really finding that anywhere else. You're not getting that blue chipper from anybody else for Damian Lillard. And you pointed this out yesterday, that's kind of on Portland. You should have traded Damian two years ago. If you did that maybe you would have had a better chance. That was before his huge extension that was going to pay him 60+ million dollars when he's 36 years old. You would have still had some time left on the original contract. And he would have been younger. He would have just been turning 30 or just over 30 years old. There was a lot of times a couple years ago who could have used Damian Lillard. But now he's 33, he has that huge contract that nobody is gonna want to pay when he's 35-36 years old. Other than maybe Miami and maybe Philadelphia."

    These fucking guys...

    You know, if Herro is that good, the Heat are getting a bargain at $20M per year. I think they should be happy to keep him and be happy we don't want him.

    I love these guys. Knuckleheads actually are talking up Tyler Herro and talking down Lillard. OK, fellas, sounds like your team really shouldn't need to make this trade.

    I seriously would trade him anywhere but Miami. I'm so tired of their fans and their media.

    They say the market is lower for star players now and then proceed to talk about how much the Jazz got for "Rudy Gorbay."

    Then they bring up how little it took to acquire Jimmy Butler without acknowledging kind of important things like Butler isn't a Lillard/Durant/Harden/George level player or that Butler had very quickly worn out his welcome in Minny and Philly and his play was declining before he found renewal with Spo in Miami. For Pete's sake, the year before going to the Heat he averaged 18.7 ppg, had an effective FGP under 50 and was coming off the two worst years of his rotational playing career in DWS.

    I have watched their podcasts the last week or two just to see what they're thinking. David Ramil is annoying AF. The other guy seems OK.

    Okay, i mean Jimmy just lead group of undrafted players to the NBA finals....can't think of many others who could accomplish that. Yes, Spoelstra is great, but I definitely became a Jimmy fan this year. Of that list, I would say that Lillard and Harden are the two questionable in terms of championship caliber players on both ends.

    I’d like to see the comp come in a bit higher

    I can't help but wonder if the roles were reversed and Butler or Bam wanted out and we were offering a package based around Ant (our version of Herro) how much Heat fans would be flipping out. Build out our package for Butler or Bam and watch the fun happen.

    Sorry, but I think you missed the point, which was they said in the video that they got Butler for next to nothing. Butler when they got him was what I was referencing.

    Thinking maybe 4 team now. Happy that, at least up to this point, Joe is telling Riley his “package” isn’t impressing him

    Every team has one of these, but theirs is one of the most annoyingly homerific....unwatchable. By contrast, the guy who does the Pelicans podcast, (Jake Madison?) is one of the best. Reasonable, easy to listen to and quite professional.
