Sam Merrill has made Wade expendable for you guys. Royce is a good glue guy who can contribute at both ends in the playoffs.
I'd have liked it a lot more before this season but seems Wade has been playing a lot better and teammates love the guy (not that that's a reason not to do a deal). O'Neale has also been a disaster in playoffs for 2-3 seasons.

Merrill does need more playing time. Wade can guard 4's and 3's. He is very solid defender but he can't create his own shot.

I have yet another reason to hate fightintittybags.....SMH.
You hate me because much of what I’ve been saying on trades this year and value is coming to fruition. If I nail Caruso/Drum to the Sixers you need to Kneel before Fightin Funbags!

The EC is clearly wide open with the Embiid injury and the Bucks not working out like planned.

Boston vs NY could easily be the ECF.
Less wide open and more of an easy path for the favorite IMO (Celtics)

O'Neale is a 2 way player, that would be a solid addition for the Cavs.

I hope it does mot happen.

I want to see them in round 1. Or the cavs
Walk me through what you’re seeing. I can be talked into the Cavs but I would be worried about the 3 different guys they can throw at Butler and Herro in OG, Hart and Donte.

That was when you were saying Caruso for 1 1st and the Bulls had been saying they want 2. Then you pivoted to wanting Drummond also when Embiid got hurt.

Just relegate Detroit to the G-League. It's not a dumpster fire. It's a full garbage dump on fire

The Heat do not match up well with them, at least right now, with the way the Heat are playing.

A lot would have to change.

Not sure I like this

yah-- i dont want to bury Merrill....

what is O Neale? like at best 8th guy? Id rather give Merrill the minutes

1. Mitchell
2. Garland
3. Allen
4. Mobley
5. Strus
6. Okoro
7. LeVert
8. Niang
9. Merrill
10. Wade

I mean--- i dont know.......where would ONeale fit there? def no higher than 8......and honestly i think the shooting of Niang and Merrill needs minutes.

You’re talking July and in July Caruso for a first was considered an overpay. As more contenders were linked to Caruso I adjusted to the 2nd first.

Now if they flip Niang and Wade for a guy....that could be interesting. TT will get back in the rotation for some minutes

You just said Wade cannot create his own shot.

O'Neale is the better player.
O'Neale can't either. You said O'Neale was a two way player. That tells me you never watched Wade
