    I'm all for say saying F Miami. I don't like anything about FloriDUH.

    I love this headline:

    upload_2023-7-3_11-17-45.png

    Maybe I'm old fashioned, but "we're definitely not going to offer the only players that any team would want" is not really "all-in". And this is AFTER they lost two starters to free agency. It's a bit like saying a G-League team is "all-in" on getting Dame.

    Tyler Herro and Caleb Martin aren't G-League... they are legit starters in the NBA. I think Jovic and Jaquez are good prospects. I like Orlando Robinson as a young backup big but he might be a little G-League-ish. They'd have to send both of their available future firsts.

    I would want Herro and Martin rerouted to a third team who had high value on them and that could be the Nets. If the Nets valued Herro and Martin enough and maybe they wouldn't mind Nurk either, then they might give up Claxton, the rights to Clowney and Whitehead and Dinwiddie for salary purposes along with two future firsts.

    I think Dame and Nurk for a return of Claxton, Jovic, Jaquez, Clowney, Whitehead, Orlando Robinson and 4 FRPs while only having to take on the expiring contract of Dinwiddie that we might be able to flip is a great return. There is a possibility that the Nets wouldn't value those assets like that though and then you'd be in a bad position. I mean even if it's only 3 future FRPs it's still a pretty good haul.

    I would keep Martin. We need a few vets man. It's bad if the whole team is young. Martin was in the Heat culture. I think we need some people who have experienced wins.

    Agree here.

    I'd also rather have Herro over Ant. If we can find a good place for Simons, we could be off & running.

    2 days removed. i've come to my senses.

    fuck miami.

    i'll still be a dame fan and wish him well but my loyalties lie with my franchise and my hometown no matter how inept they are. just wish jody would sell the team so i can finally get some hope.

    That was picked up by all the Miami outlets, but quickly debunked by Broussard, Russillo, etc.

    Lol good one. Didn't realize he was a free agent.

    @Rastapopoulos. You need a "F- Aaron Goodwin" thread.

    Heat are not , I repeat not, all in. All in means they would give up Bam or Butler. They are offering junk.

    Someone needs to come up with a good F’ MIA shirt design

    To Chris? Yeah, it was, but he's got broad shoulders.
