F' Miami

So what does it say? I am not subscribing to the Miami Herald to read it.

 

It’s literally just this writer transcribing that interview that the GM gave about trading Anthony Davis to the Lakers.

 

Ok Miami Heat. Let's see something like this, then we can talk.
Dame can help you get the assets together because it's so easy. Don't betray him!

 

Not happening. They don’t have talent anywhere close to Ingram. Hell…. They don’t have talent close to Hart or Ball either. That trade was miles better than what Miami can offer.

 

another big factor: AD was 25 at the time of the trade

 

So different, it’s almost ridiculous comparing the two

 

You're right. It should be a better offer for Dame who doesn't have only a yr left on his contract.

 

LOL yes. That’s exactly what I was thinking

 

All fun here but there are a few parallels.

You had Haynes telling everyone he doesn't want Boston. You had his agent Rich Paul threatening any team outside of LA that he would leave in a yr. His camp manufactured a market of 1 team.

Now all we need is Magic to give up the farm for Dame.

 

Dame, Banchero, WCJ, and the 4 Wagners would be a really fun team to watch. Too bad nobody in Orlando likes basketball.

 

I meant Magic Johnson. He was the one who laid the ground work for the AD to LA trade.

Make em sweat.

In Miami, meanwhile, Heat officials who so badly want to land Lillard can certainly relate to the stagnant state of affairs. But the Heat’s dilemma is different from that of the Clippers, who could roll the ball out with this roster next season and still feel reasonably good about their road ahead. The Heat already said goodbye to Gabe Vincent (the Lakers) and Max Strus (Cleveland) in free agency after their Finals run, meaning the idea of losing key contributors like Caleb Martin, or young talents like Nikola Jović and Jaime Jaquez Jr., would only further limit their title-contending prospects.

That’s where the slow pace of the Heat-Blazers talks has made it even harder to reach a deal point. Miami has already missed out on so many affordable free agents who might have come its way had the Lillard addition already been made — like Taurean Prince, for example, before he went to the Lakers. In light of that, there’s even greater internal interest in retaining as many role players as possible. As has been widely reported, a Heat deal would likely include Tyler Herro (who would likely go to a third team) and Duncan Robinson.

 

Yeah.... it sure seems like a deal would already be done if Miami wasn't being stingy.

 

25 vs 33
6’11” vs 6’2”

 

David Griffin compared the situations himself.

 

Its funny but so many years of Joe basically doing nothing at countless opportunities to add win now talent. Joe is now somehow having that effect on another team, that was just in the finals.

 

So many years......

He has had the job for 18 months.
