Yes. Blake is a top 25 player.

That Russ/Blake P&R is deadly

Deadly to whom? Both players are title-kryptonite until proven otherwise.

while it's hard to put much into playing well in summer League, playing poorly can certainly be a red flag.

lol, yeah, THAT part...

who was that kid Philly drafted and sent to Orlando? too lazy to look it up...

 

[Shanemansj13]

Sexton and Garland could be Irving/Waiters all over again if you think about it.

Well considering Kyrie won CLE a championship that isn't a bad thing...Garland could very well be compared to him. Sexton arguably had a betterrookie year than Waiters' best year and he has been in the league for 8 seasons lol.

I said it before Summer League. Like I said, we will see.

yes and no, i take little stock in a young guy coming in the league. when it's some 25 y/o crushing it, i pay no mind, if they're struggling, i'm not expecting a contribution. for a younger guy, i look at it like someone in spring training trying some new things out.

Fultz, he had a good summer league? He has some mental issues now and his shooting stroke is messed up

 

[dtgold88]

Disagree. If you believe that much in Herro, find a different PG target. Westbrook is not exactly going to propel the Heat to the finals.

Believe that much in Herro after a handful of Summer League games?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

and how much success has the Heat had without Wade?

Asking again?

It shows season by season

yeah, Markelle. don't remember about his Summer League but I BELIEVE they were saying he was having an issue or 2 even then IF memory serves...

while it is certainly possible it wont matter hard to compare the 2 sports. An elite MLB player could spend a week in AAA and go 5-24. An average NBA player would crush it in the G League.

 

[Taddy Mason]

he didn't look too bad in summer league, but he tried to completely reinvent his shot. then they started talking about injuries. believe it's all mental, and he currently stands at...

We have no idea how much Heat value Herro vs drawing a line in the sand.

Heat isnt leaking anything.
Dont believe anything you read or hear.
We’ll find out soon enough.

The injuries to GS were overstated and not nearly as devastating.

What? Losing a top 3 (at worst) player in Durant for basically the entire series isn't devastating? Overstated my ass.

 

[shopson67]

If Kawhi would have signed w/ your Lakers you'd be signing a different tune. Okay gotta go.

Sure, as they would have 3 (at worst) top 10 players in their starting lineup. Clippers have 1.

Yep.....not much success. You realize when it's asked what the Cavs have done without Lebron one can also find the answer with google?

But I count 3 playoff series wins for each team without their star since the Heat came into existence.

You were saying?

 

[DJ Fieri]

would you like friees with that?

lol, give me a break....

by my age i guarantee i crush what you made and have a way better education.

Oh - and i have no doubt riley is a hall of famer, but the last title he will ever win was because of LeBron. His success in the NBA is over slick.

Not if he gets RW to go along with Butler after they "had no way to improve their team", your words verbatim.

 

[shopson67]

he's also joining a pretty damn good clippers lineup as well. it'll be interesting to see how he and george hold up. but Lou Will, Harrell, Bev, Shamet, Green, Zubac, Harkless, is nothing to sneeze at.

The fact that you're already questioning how long they'll hold up is a big issue. So is Playoff P's poor showings in big games. Most of those names above would be great as bench players, but a few of them will have to start. Is Shamet ready? Is Zubac ready for big minutes? Harrell and Bev should be fine. Doesn't scream multiple titles to me.

 

[dtgold88]

The worst management group in the League has 2 top 7-10 players?

Okay, I think most Laker fans will aceppt that.....LOL.

So mad!!!!!

I'd be excited as a fan, but to be fair their management team didn't have to do much to acquire those top 7-10 players (might even say top5)

Heat have sucked balls without Wade.

Deadly to whom? Both players are title-kryptonite until proven otherwise.

So it's blake fault he never had a title contending team?

And just because they're title kryptonite doesn't mean a Russ/blake pairing can't be successful either
