There are no guarantees fellas. For this who claimed that getting xyz player made us instant contenders, that is never a for sure thing. Lebron, in his prime, was literally the only guarantee at an instant contender, and it helped us that we also got Bosh to pair with Wade.

This is crazy what’s going on with the Suns!? Bet their fan base can’t believe it as they for sure thought they would be holding the trophy over their heads this June!


Give Jimmy Bam and Spo KD, Dame, Booker, Beal, Mitchell, etc. and I’m taking my chances lol.

The FO missing out on stars doesn’t make them successful just because they’re not winning in other organizations, stop giving them a pass. This team needs talent clearly


I'm not entertaining these guys who don't want stars or guys that move the needle for us because they haven't won't at other spots. Before Jimmy came here he wasn't seen as a "winner" despite what he did at other teams. Prior to his stint in Miami Harden had done more winning in his career and Heat fans still didn't want Harden. Yet he has the longest streak of made playoffs.

Give me KD, Beal, Dame, Mitchell, Trae etc. It's only so far hard work and grit will get this Miami heat roster. We need more top end talent. Guys who can go out some nights and carry us offensively during stretches while our defense stays elite to keep us in games. Guys who can create easy buckets and close games out for us. Yes. Give me Trae or Donovan, even KD if the price is right....or my massive pipedream......Booker.

I’ll gladly take any of them.

And the people **** on Beal is odd to me because we just had to match salary basically and throw in some sort of asset. Washington was more than willing to work with Beal to get him where he wanted to be, unlike Portland.

Beal had a solid season as a 3rd option and right now in these playoffs as a 3rd option he’s putting up 19-4-5 on 48/50/80 shooting splits. Hes actually outplaying Booker all things considered, not that I’d want him over Booker but just for perspective

This dude Embiid had a wide open dunk with the season on the line and tried to draw contact and missed the layup instead :lol:

Then Lowrys dumbass missed a free throw on purpose when he didn’t need to.

Embiid played the entire 4th quarter and had 1 point in what was nearly a 1 possession game the entire quarter. This dude is a career choke artist, some things will never change

Our Front Office, and Local beat writers sure find a way to make the run it backs feel amazing every year, with every excuse known to man as to why it happened.

Some of us fall for it every year, training camp sounds like weve got Kobes', Lebron's, Dwight Howards in the making from the younger guys or the undrafted. Its insane, and they always point to but we were in the ECF, or Finals last year. Frankly I even think al those runs did more harm than good, by giving the team this false sense of team value.

Wild that Brunson looks like a better contract than Beal, Dame and Kiwi on the present day

There's this one poster who was so against acquiring Harden and Dame. I wonder what he's up to these days.

Dame we had no chance on. Harden and Kyrie were there for the taking though for pennies on the dollar

Damn, I want to feel bad for Milwaukee, but I don’t feel anything. They tried their best this year and that’s what counts
