Good game and series melo! Good luck the rest of the way.

This is the last stop for the Heat! It’s been a fun season and post season. Nobody probably expected this Heat team to go as far as it did I didn’t myself considering what I was working with. I pushed its limits as far as I could

Onto the off-season

good series bro. your team was difficult to match up with and gave me a lot of problems. really looking forward to see what you do with your squad this off season. and i hope the knicks get your guy donovan mitchell too lol

[3toheadmelo]

very grateful to be back in the ecf. this road has not been easy but i am very appreciative of how my team has looked in the post season against tough opponents

[mpharris36]

huge win for ORL on the road with AD back. Now back home for game 7.

I won't doubt Kawhi in a big game though.

Battle going on in the east.

Gobert joins Dikembe Mutombo and Ben Wallace as the only four-time winners of the award.

ROTY and DPOY both from the BaF Toronto Raptors. I’ll take it!

[SOUL]

Sacramento Picks

2024: #7 (could be higher or lower), #15, #16, #29, #30, #37
2025: MIAMI 1st and SAC 1st

I would be potentially interested in packaging 15 + 16 to move higher, or 29 and 30 to move higher. Maybe moving out of one of those entirely for a 2025 pick.

NOT TRADING (UNLESS YOU CAN REALLY WOW ME):

Cason Wallace
Jaime Jaquez Jr.
Isaiah Hartenstein (expiring & have his birds, intend to keep)
Naz Reid
Brandin Podziemski
Anthony Black

ONLY IN THE RIGHT DEALS:

Grayson Allen
Kyle Kuzma
Craig Porter Jr.

ACTIVELY LOOKING TO MOVE

Bradley Beal
Andrew Wiggins

FLEXIBILITY IN TRADES

Obviously Wiggins and Beal's contracts are a lot, so if I did those trades, I'd be attaching multiple picks or one younger guy to consolidate for a an established star i.e. a team that would want to look to rebuild with a young guy + picks + Beal or Wiggins contract. I also do not mind moving vets like Kuzma and Allen for younger players in specific deals, however I would not mind keeping them either, considering their contracts being pretty good, especially Kuzma. Those guys can be had, but might be hard to pry because those are the cheaper deals people want to add.

I've set my team up so I can pivot in multiple directions, but right now I'm taking the youth route with some surrounding talent still. Please don't waste my time with offers from the first tier if you know it won't make sense for me.

Thanks

you heard Context guys, lets all praise the top 4 teams for 5 pages and not try to make our teams better

(jk jk you're my boy) no but for real... I am commenting on the games and also trying to gauge interest for offseason demand.. all activity in this league is good activity... I won't make posts like these in the finals, but in the downtime before that, there's absolutely no harm...

The beam must be lit again

[TerrenceClarke]

There is nothing wrong with these type of posts. The majority of the cats in the playoffs aren’t even talking. All it is is a bunch of congratulations talk.

Basketball is a business and that business don’t stop.

I see nothing wrong with guys putting out there what they been doing the last few days.

The NBA holds the lottery during the playoffs on tv. lol. That should tell you that business don’t stop.

I highly doubt any team currently in the playoffs would be mad at a team putting out feelers.

Speaking of.. lottery will be very interesting this year. I'm expecting a crazy amount of variance on personal boards and what will happen in BAF and NBA. #1 pick is always a luxury but I'm kinda hoping to get in like the #3-5 range if I can
