    Guys... you're killing me..... Grant won't do a sign-and-trade. He wouldn't get the 5th year that he demanded.

    Scoot is actually a point guard. Simons is most definitely not. He's a lead guard, but he's not a point guard.

    Based on recent track record, anybody else kind of counting on is getting shafted only so the real outcome wont be too disappointing?

    I'm not expecting some amazing trade, sadly.

    I’m expecting Jovic, Simmons, 4 1s.

    Not as much as he’s worth, but not getting completely robbed.

    Not based on track record, but based on being realistic. Not shafted, but not some wild return that people are thinking.

    As for the video above, I like that it sounds to be on the heat to find a way to get it done. They did lose me in talking about Collin Sexton. Pretty sure Dennis has no clue who plays for the Blazers...

    I would be fine with that as well. Jovic is growing on me.

    their 2026 first owed OKC is already unprotected; it's lottery protected in 2025. OKC has no incentive to reduce their leverage

    Why do I care how Miami does it? Make it happen if they want Dame. Miami can give them a 2nd and a handjob for all I care.

    I'm gonna need Caleb Martin back. Jaquez with Jovic too. 3 picks from them and at least another one from somewhere else who takes Herro.

    Same. Hopefully we can pry another asset from Miami/Brooklyn - Caleb Martin/Royce O'Neale. Those players should have value.

    Don't give a shit about Jaquez. They picked him knowing we wouldn't value him. Schmitz probably values him as a late second rounder.

    If Schmitz feels that way, take him anyways and reroute him to Brooklyn for Clowney or whitehead as part of the deal if we otherwise weren't getting either of them.

    lol...ok

    I mean, if you're just saying fuck Miami that's ok. But saying they should somehow convince OKC to give them picks back for nothing is nuts

    Miami does not have a first to trade till 2028. That's the reality

    Don't think Brooklyn values him that way either.

    Jaquez is high floor/low ceiling. Brooklyn took two high ceiling/low floor guys.

    Jaquez was a reach because he's the perfect fit for Miami.

    Did I say nothing? That's not for me to figure out. Miami has things to offer and have that conversation. For you to say it couldn't happen is bonkers. How do you know that?
