Anthony Davis is said to be on the block now.

[Xiao Yao You]

We have Post and Horford to give him a breather at the position.

What does draymond think of riding the bench?

[GOBB]

People still blaming Nico is funny. At what age did you realize Santa were actually your parents? High school?

It's different when you can add a guy with a mid first round pick making rookie deal money versus giving up two young pieces (Herro was just an allstar last year) to take back a guy making 54 million a year. Youre really investing a ton in something that has long odds of working right away. If he doesnt click with Bam theyre just fooked. I would be interested to see it as a viewer but I dont think it's a gamble I would take for that team right now.

I think the two-center stuff is interesting and has potential around the league, but that's when one of the centers is a low risk acquisition. Steven Adams, Mitchell Robinson, Jonas Valanciunus. Luke Kornet. You trade a second rounder for them and/or sign them for role player money, then see how they fit with your star center. Trading Herro and Ware for Davis when you already have Bam is just too radical. And Davis makes 54 million a year, bringing him in to play only 20 minutes a night... I dont think the Heat are goin for that. Theres just no way.

****ed as in what exactly? What does the heat being ****ed look like? Not having playoff success? They just went 37-45. They’re 9-6 now which is fine early but also one game from the 10th seed Celtics.

What are you saying they’re risking? Contender status?

Herro isn’t a loss at all. Even when they were good they were making finals runs without him. They’re scoring like the showtime lakers without him having played a minute this year. All he’s gonna do is score and play worse defense.

What do they really gain by him doing nothing but scoring on a team already scoring 124ppg by running an offense stars apparently hate but deep teams of role players love?

Herro would just be filler. Hes a free agent after next year and will definitely want a raise or at least another big deal to be….what?

When they tried to lean on him as the man he went out in the playoffs getting eliminated going 1-10 and losing by 55 points. It was the last game he played.

You think they view extending him under the new even bigger CBA as some kinda great option going forward?

Hes the type you either talk into taking less, use as contract filler tied to something with potential(aware), or maybe sign and trade soon if you don’t let him walk.

The Heat are star ****ers always after the next name. They just keep striking out.

If they don’t see Giannis as a real option what better moves are available without trying to “fix” one of the young knucklehead types always out there?

A project and filler for a proven champion type you don’t really need to rely on to be competitive?

There are worse options.

[Xiao Yao You]

Herro 25. He should get better.

[Yes or No]

People still being in denial about Nico are funny. Double-digit, room-temperature IQ.

[Wally450]

You are in complete denial about how petty and stupid Nico Harrison is. Oh well, you'll never change your mind.

This is the answer. Nothing about the league being rigged. Just blatant stupidity from Nico. No surprise he got fired.

Franchise players especially one of Luka stature are not traded without approval from the higher up. *cough*owner*cough* The fact that people still leave out cookies for some white guy that’s overweight (fits the American male maybe most here can relate) breaking errr sneaking into their homes? Astounding. Welcome to ISH.

[Xiao Yao You]

If iwas the heat and probably most teams id rather have sabonis than davis. Davis is a better athlete and defender. Sabonis better at everything else. Bam might be a good enough defender to make it work. Sabonis will play 4 or 5 without complaint. Will play at the rim or the perimeter. Make the offense even more dynamic.

[Xiao Yao You]

He makes some sense there depending on what they have to give up for Crutch. 3 point shooting center. Get rid of patrick williams ideally in deal

The Bulls could go in a few directions over the next several months, including adding to the current roster. That has led some sources to speculate whether Chicago, with over $80 million in expiring money, could be a suitor for Dallas' Anthony Davis and bring the Windy City native home. ‘I could see it,’ a West executive, who recently saw Chicago play, said. ‘[Josh] Giddey has worked well with Vucevic, but he could use a roll man to throw it up to.

Nobody ever said he was traded without approval from the owner. Stop speaking so confidently about a situation that you clearly haven't looked into much, not that I should expect anything else from you except utterly confident ignorance.

So you understand, even though you will still refuse to believe what factually happened because your stupidity and overconfidence is set in stone, here's the exact order of how it went down.

1) Cuban hires idiotic ego maniac with the stupid idea that it was for player relations primarily and Cuban would still run basketball
2) Cuban sells team to someone who knows 0 about basketball under the condition Cuban would still run basketball
3) Idiotic ego maniac gets in the ignorant owner's ear and pushes Cuban out
4) Idiotic ego maniac trades Luka and rushes it through without opening up bidding because ignorant owner would see the fan and journalistic backlash and know how stupid it was
5) People on the internet that believe everything is a lie and a conspiracy think Nico was just a fall guy

Nico Harrison is an overly confident below average IQ idiot who failed upwards by sheer dumb luck. You are him minus the failing upwards part.

There is article after article out there explaining the situation, explaining that Nico Harrison was a failure at Nike also that botched the Steph Curry meeting all those years ago, and that he surrounded himself with yes men in Dallas and fired anyone who opposed every impulsive thought he had. But instead of reading those articles, here you are, thinking you know, spreading your ignorant bullshit.

If trading Luka was the owner's idea then why didnt they open the bidding to other teams to get the best deal? Looks to me like Nico had a thing for AD.

I havent seen anything from this owner that would lead me to believe that he knows much about basketball. I seriously doubt that the owner had any type of fascination with AD.

He wanted a two way player and didnt want to pay the fat ass. Which i get. Supposedly he asked about ant and giannis too which would have been nice. Trading for a guy you cant count on made bo sense.

Why couldn't they get Austin Reaves in the deal? The deal was so one sided that it looks to me like Nico had a thing for AD.

It isnt one sided if you get a two way superstar you can expect to be on the floor which was the problem with the deal. No reason to think davis would be that guy. Never has been outside the bubble

[Xiao Yao You]

Not sure he would have had interest in reaves if he was looking for two way players
