He's gonna be starting a 2025 draft thread soon because he'll have thoroughly analyzed ever draft-eligible player before too long...

Vets are easily bought. Experience, though valuable, isn't a hot commodity in this league. Grant has actual, tangible value to teams wanting to win now -- that should be mined and turned into younger players and/or picks assets to better fit our timeline, and the veteran presence can be brought...

I think agree they could be *fine* pieces for us... JJJ and Jovic are both rotation guys, but probably not much more, and those picks are both well out and no guarantee to be any good. From both a "fuck Miami" standpoint, and the general "meh" that that package gives me, I just think we can do...

With their current pieces* Miami will not be good in 5 years. The problem is, it's Miami. Between the sunshine, nightlife, beaches and tax setup, Miami will always be a top 5 NBA destination. Sure, maybe they backslide a bit when Riley retires and Jimmy hangs em up, but they -- maybe more than...

But what about the salary matching?!?!?!?

No inside info, but if this were the case, I don't think we would've seen as much blatant posturing as we have. If all we're waiting for is for Jacquez to be tradeable, you wouldn't have seen Cronin say "if it takes months, it takes months". There's no reason to continue to put out the narrative...

They're the product. Frankly -- when compared to ownership -- I think they deserve more of the pie than they're getting...

How exactly do you figure that? At the time of his death, Paul Allen was worth $20.3 BILLION DOLLARS. He was the 44th wealthiest person on earth. Since then, franchise value has only gone up and the new TV deal is coming soon. We can absolutely afford to pay those salaries. We just aren't.

Yep. Whether its us taking Brown or sending him to Houston, I think either of those outcomes really fit what we're clearly needing and wanting to do more than crappy future 1s and a couple young players with some upside...

My god, these guys are somethin else. Holy crap was that a slanted 20-minute listen... Amazing to me that the entire point of the conversation is "how much is too much for Dame", and they even get as far as "viable roster-filling free agents are signing elsewhere so the cupboard will be bare"...

I'm not emotional about it at all. I just don't understand why you feel the need to continually hammer this point. I genuinely don't get the point of you beating this dead horse so much. After the 4th or 5th time seeing you engage in this argument, I'm just sharing that it's taking away from the...

Sure, but I haven't made similar posts countless other times. I'm trying to get an understanding of why you think this detail is so important that you need to continue to hammer people who get it slightly wrong? Why a special post that you're asking to be pinned at the top for something so...

Isn't it just easier to let such a minor, completely inconsequential, incorrect detail go? Why do you feel like you have to correct such a meaningless detail every time?

But why does that matter? How does it affect anything in the current state of things? You've made your point in several pages worth of posts already. How the sausage was made doesn't really matter anymore. It's just sausage now.

Maybe -- and hear me out here, because it's just a thought... Maybe this doesn't really matter and its okay if people don't have perfect recollection of every detail of the past? Maybe spending time arguing about something so pedantic isn't the best use of anyone's time? Maybe pissing matches...
