ROFL at Riley --- Herro if you believe that horseshit I have ocean front property in Iowa to sell you too --

 

[HansenYang]

LOL.
The look Herro is giving there.
No one is believing that BS.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

All Riley had to do is say we are excited to have Herro still part of the Heat and yeah we explored going after someone but it did not work out and were just as happy to have him back. Now that might be BS too but at least semi believable and easier to swallow but whatever we should all forget about the Heat until we play them and hope we beat them. -- enuff said on them

[Cugel]

Riley is fucking senile to get up there and say that. Not a single nba fan with a brain believes that horseshit. Time for him to go. MIA has to tear it all down. Butler isn’t nearly good enough to lead that team to a title.

I know the $$ has changed crazily, but to put it in a little perspective, Giannis' 3 year extension will pay him about twice as much money as Michael Jordan made in his entire 15 year career!

Sure it wasn’t vodka?

Good think Jordan was gifted a billion dollar subsidiary of a multi-billion dollar corporation or we might have to feel sorry for him.

The wolves look like a treadmill, a very very expensive treadmill

So Norman Powell will get more than 20 minutes a night and Robert Covington will get more than 15 minutes a night on a playoff team, we likely won't get the second rounder in 2025 and both Winslow and Johnson have been waived from teams in the last few days.

I like what Joe is doing with the rebuild but anyone who tells me that he did everything he could to build a winner around Dame is either delusional or related to him. The trade for Jerami still doesn't make sense with the obvious youth rebuild but every other move taken to its totality was clearly meant to induce a trade request from the best Blazers player of all time.

It's cool, it's cool. I'm all on board with Scoot, Shaedon and the rest for our youth rebuild but I'll probably always hate Joe just a little bit for forcing Dame out and being two faced to us and the media about it at the same time.

Lol. He inherited a shitty roster bro. He stripped it to the studs. I honestly can't believe you can't see the obvious. Hopefully one day you will. Cause yikes.

How in the world will the Lakers find a way to land Bronny??? Maybe they have a late 2024 2nd round pick?

Bronny's heart condition will cause him to go undrafted, then he will sign with the Lakers.

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/38728726/giannis-antetokounmpo-nets-3-year-186m-extension

That extends him up through the 2026-7 season when he will be 32. At that point Dame will be 36, Middleton 35 & Lopez 39. Dame's contract also ends following the 2026-27 season, Middleton after 25-26 & Lopez 24-25.

The first of the two pick swaps is in 2028... moouhh ha ha ha haaaa!!!

No team was going to trade us a near All Star for Norman Powell and Robert Covington between the time Cronin took the job and the time Dame asked out.

It would have been nice, but no player of that high of caliber has been dealt for similar value as we had to offer. If they had you might have reason to be slightly annoyed. But that's just not reality.
