and he got rid of everyone who made him a success.

And that's where your "he's not all that bright" comment may prove to be true.

But when you bring in talented veterans and those expectations rise...you can't really have a coach who is learning as he goes.

If you have Bron in your "team" (circus - same thing) yes you can... He is gonna do the coaching {and management and roster decisions and trades) himself... Therefore , the "lesser the coach", the better for Bron...

True...but I think that was more about being insecure. Though as you allude dumping guys who could help him not all that bright.

Interesting article on Leonard who demanded that besides the money, he wanted part ownership of the Lakers, A private Jet and a house. Jeanie Buss told Leonard and his uncle that his requests were illegal and was not going to happen

Bam is averaging almost 5apg? Damn.

Bam is averaging almost 5apg? Damn.

Where you been this year? He's an all star. Throwing up triple doubles and crushing it on defense too. He's basically been a better version of Draymond Green

@dtgold88 claims Tristan and Bam are equally talented.

I knew he was balling....just didn't know he was averaging almost 5apg.

Seemed like they were at the time. Bam has far exceeded my expectations.

and, no, my original comments on Bam are not because you think I don't like the Heat. I have always liked Jimmy Butler and thought that was a great acquisition by them, for instance.

I don’t think your original comments had anything to do with the Heat.

They had everything to do with your Cav homerism.

There is a clear pattern with you overvaluing Cleveland players relative to players on other teams.

and I think your comments have to do with your need to start an argument when one isn't there.....then at some point complain all I do is argue.

BEFORE this season it was reasonable to think TT was as good or better than Bam. Just like before last year one could make the case a number of players were better than Siakam which would not be the case today.

Happy Holidays!!!!

Celtics, Sixers, Clippers, Rockets, Nuggets for the win.

I underestimated BAM.

Had him avg 13,9, & 3 this season

and that comes from a fan of Bam and the Heat, @tlance

That is pretty much what TT is averaging this season - 12.9, 10, 2.3. Maybe bk a closet TT fan and a TT homer?

Props to Bam for maybe being last year's Siakam. If he can jump next year like Siakam this year then if they are not already, Heat will become a strong contender to come out of East. Can he make another jump? we'll see.

Sure. Last year TT was as good or better.

When Bam was a 19 year old rookie and TT a 8 or 9 year vet.

If you were objectively analyzing talent, there was no comparison between the 2. And you would have seen that like the rest of us did if you were objective.

Well, TT is averaging career best numbers on a bad team. Bam is doing his thing on a contender.

That matters.

Seems a fan of Miami here was objective, right? He thought Bam would put up the same numbers TT has this year.

Guess he wasn't among "the rest of you".
