As bad as this season feels for the heat, they are tied in losses with Orlando who is in 4th

All the mediocre team are bunched up. they are 4 wins from the 12th place Nets. With Orlando's injuries, there are only 3 good teams in the East.

For now. I still wouldn’t want to play a healthy Orlando, Milwaukee, or a Heat team with a motivated Jimmy in the playoffs. Would not be a fun matchup for whoever finishes 3rd

it just doesn’t seem like a tenable situation for Jimmy to stay in Miami.

He’s not being traded during the season. I would bet you on that right now. Pat Riley doesn’t come out and make a statement like that then still trade him a month later.

So does he all of the sudden show up and truly go to work one day? What’s the endgame?

Well he was in the Heat facility yesterday and posting Tyler after the game so seems like he’s back and with a good attitude. We will see what happens on Wednesday. I think he got to be smart and knows the only way he gets a good contract is if he plays well and turns into playoffs jimmy in the playoffs.

What's the Heat cap situation if they lose Jimmy outright

Rozier been so bad this year but he got some dog in him. Got right into the action last night when Thompson was a sore loser and threw Herro to the ground so I got some respect for him but man is he a dumb player. His shot selection is so bad that he deserved to spend the rest of his career in charlotte

I wonder why the people of Charlotte can’t have nice things?

Eh, i use on off as a greater indicator of player impact but for a 26 million dollar player to have a negative VORP it's a very bad sign.

Once the season was lost was worth trying for a top pick, of course we got hosed yet again in the lotto.

Yeah our teams very similar when it comes to lotto. was really good once and most other years a disaster.

 

[dtgold88]

4.5 game lead for Cleveland. Going to need it

Yeah...definitely a tough stretch coming.

Yikes

I hope you aren’t claiming bad lotto luck for Cleveland.

Cleveland fans can’t ever complain about that. Not for at least 50 years.

Won the lotto in the year of LeBron, won 3 times in 4 years after he left.

That is more lotto luck than any other franchise in the league besides San Antonio

 

[shopson67]

That would be good...although I don't really like the idea of losing Rui.

I'd prefer more of a defensive guy. Richards on the bargain end, Kessler on the pricey end.

The Bull I wouldn't mind for the Lakers is Jevon Carter.

Definitely had our share of luck to get Lebron and then Kyrie (though for Lebron we did have the best chance to get it so not sure how much was luck?). Yeah...won it again when not having it would have been fine (and not just because we screwed it up with Bennett).

But in the rebuild does not mean cannot say they had incredibly bad luck since they did.

saying all that? I get what you are saying.

 

[shopson67]

wtf. I get it’s protected but it likely doesn’t matter. Memphis will probably be around bottom 5 anyway.

Kennard is also expiring

Konchar is not though).

If the 2nd round pick going back was the Nets', that's potentially only a trade up of 10 slots.
