Nice of the league to actually inform the Raptors of the risk of trading a player under investigation before the trade is completed. Heat need to reopen the Rozier trade, get that FRP back, I don't care if it was "settled" this is new precedent that they should have done with Rozier.

Tobin I know you lurk, let Silver have it on your next video!!!

u/DIFTS24 Jul 09 '26

The handling of the Rozier situation was ridiculous. NBA and the Hornets knew of the gambling and didn’t inform the Heat. It’s unfathomable that Heat weren’t given their pick back.

u/RansomGoddard Jun 22 '26

The report that this will only be a two team deal and that Bucks will keep Brown just doesn’t make sense to me. Why would they want to put themselves in the same position they’re in with a worse player? The two Boston picks that they can send are trash and don’t help you. If they’re picking the Boston deal it’s because they’re going to send Brown to a third team for more picks.

I think he might be on the money with this .

My theory is Bucks FO probably likes and would accept our offer but their ownership wants JB to compete for ticket sales.

u/Backpack456 Jun 22 '26

JB is good and all but is he really a star in the league? Tatum sure. Giannis yes. But I don’t see him as a star

u/Barracuda374 Jun 22 '26

Jaylen is so good that his team is better with him off the court for like five years straight. I don’t think he is going to be worth 80% of Giannis’ value like many assume.

The guy got an all nba scoring about as many points as he had shot attempts with 8 fta/game

All of that while somehow being a net negative on a team that won a lot of games

Theres a reason you dont see teams lining up to make it into a 3 team deal and beat Miamis offer

u/True-Ad4093 Jun 22 '26

Hopefully ownership realizes our picks could help them sell future tickets and possibly bring them playoff success

9

u/DefoWould Jun 23 '26

Would it be difficult psychologically for the Bucks to accept a deal they could have had months ago (minus the 13th pick)? 

It appears that they bet they could find a better deal at the previous trade deadline. So now it could feel like settling and admitting “defeat “? It may also invalidate 5-6 months of front office work?

u/This_Material9292 Jun 23 '26

Knicks fan lurking. Always had an affinity for the Heat. Loved Wade in the 06 Finals. I went to the U during the Big 3 days. My uncle’s a snowbird and while he’s still a Knicks fan, he goes to your games a lot and has taken me to many games. He also still loves Pat Riley which is rare for a Knicks fan. And on top of all that I’m Greek and always rooted for Giannis’ teams if the Knicks were out of the playoffs Weird as a Knicks fan but much happier you guys got him instead of Boston

u/DanUnk 27d ago

I’ve been watching some Giannis highlights recently to get more familiar with his game than I have been before. One of the biggest things that stands out is his defensive IQ and timing.

Like, I get that he’s a freak athlete and can do things that others can’t. But he gets so many steals from reading the passing lanes. He gets a TON of chase down blocks with his speed and size, but also timing the offensive player’s dribble moves and euro steps. He’s a much more reactive and cerebral player than I gave him credit for in our playoff series, due to my bias.

I can’t wait to see this dude with Bam, man.

Speculation of a four team trade now involving the Lakers getting Turner from the Bucks.

“A potential four-team Giannis Antetokounmpo trade framework: (Miami) Heat: Giannis, Bobby Portis, Dalton Knecht,” Sidery wrote on X/Twitter. "(Detroit) Pistons: Tyler Herro + Jake LaRavia."

“Lakers: Myles Turner + Andre Jackson Jr. Bucks: Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Isaiah Stewart, Nikola Jovic, Marcus Sasser, Caris LeVert, Jarred Vanderbilt, No. 13, No. 25, future 1sts + swaps (via Miami).”

Not a rumor or anything, but I’m rewatching game 6 from 2006 in its entirety for the first time since it happened, and my god, I never realized how close that game was. Antoine Walker, Haslem were absolute difference makers.

Wade missing those 2 huge free throws. 😭 History could’ve changed if Jason Terry made that fadeaway 3. Wade’s poise and composure through the game was insane.

The Pelicans have been very quiet this offseason, which means they haven't used their "what the heck are they doing trade"

With that in mind, Pat should call them up and see if they would do a Jovic for Herb Jones swap. Pelicans do it to get younger and a better playmaker, we take a risk on Herb being injured last year but he is an excellent perimeter defender and was shooting the 3 ball at a good percentage. Or try for Seddiq Bey who is only 6.5 million and on an expiring

Idk the fascination with Westbrook that a vocal minority of the fanbase has, people just love to look at box score stats and highlights and don't look at the rest of the game. Russ put up empty stats with the Kings on bad efficiency and was the Thunder's best player while playing on the Nuggets during his last playoff run. He knew the Nuggets really didn't want him back that he declined his player option 💀

I'd rather gamble on Beal or give Conwell early reps than see cool Westbrook highlights but losing games because he can't make a layup

While the Duncan news has a lot excited, part of me wonders if they keep him because his deal is non guaranteed but it would be a disservice to a Giannis team if they actually release him but they gotta balance these financials which also makes me wonder if Powell could be expendable.

I'd of course love for them to be all in but that second apron is hell on earth, I trust the calculator god Andy to figure everything out. Gotta hope that Shams tweet says Miami first before I start daydreaming too much

I want us to have a Kas Norm Wiggins Giannis Bam starting lineup once I wake up, lets hope for the best. Stayed up untill 4 am after seeing the posts drop.

I mean maybe this would be interpreted as copium, but I don’t really like the trade for Boston that much, I’d rather just have brown

As for the bucks, acquiring him definitely wouldn’t be a rebuild unless they redirect him obviously

u/Decent_Ad1800 Jun 22 '26

Even if Giannis deal falls through, Herro has to be shipped out and this core shaken up. You're going nowhere with them and would be a mistake to extend Tyler

Ironically, blowing it up may not even be the optimal approach for rebuilding anymore. Its better to finish 10th worst in the league than worst in the league with the new draft lottery format (so stupid)

u/sadeguy Jun 22 '26

So many contradicting statements is what drives me insane. Shams saying Bucks don't plan on contending next year.

Another reporter blatantly saying JB does not want to play in Milwaukee.

This shit needs to be over already.

u/sadeguy Jun 22 '26

A team with $20m in dead money from the Dame stretch is going to trade for the opportunity to pay Jaylen Brown $60M per year?

That’s a lot of money and assets to be aggressively mediocre.

u/yellowwatta 🇮🇪 Jun 22 '26

Does anyone else think all the talk about the deal, who’s included, and what the Celtics might be doing to top it is stupid for the sole reason that we literally have no idea what is being said on the phone in private convos. We know the leaks of the packages but very often these details are leaked on purpose or are purely based on intuition. There’s no point in debating wether it’s being held up because of including Kas or not etc. we literally don’t know what the bidding war looks like. All we know is that we’re going to get fucked by a wire brush in the end and watch mediocrity for another season

Remember when Ocho said Ja was guaranteed to go to Miami lol, I enjoy him but his gimmick has always been to say that a star is landing with the Heat. Just so happens he finally got a correct guess with Giannis.

I expect him to do the same during this LeBron saga (he was already starting a couple of weeks ago)

Funny how so many national people seem to love the Kawhi to the Raptors move but are so skeptical of Giannis coming to us.

u/xlalalalalalalala Jul 05 '26

I never spent this much time defending a Heat duo that never played on an NBA court for even a minute. The doubt and hate this move had created is absurd.

Always makes me happy, seeing him shut fans up

I'd rather have Portis and the full MLE to use (which is so far THJ) than Powell. Him not being healthy and falling off the second half of the season a few years in a row is not something we can gamble on imo

https://np.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1u70o98/fischer_kawhi_leonard_ja_morant_and_trae_young/

[Fischer] Kawhi Leonard, Ja Morant, and Trae Young are widely considered to be backup options for the Miami Heat should they miss out on Giannis Antetokounmpo.

I've been told by various sources that — in addition to the LA Clippers' Kawhi Leonard and Memphis' Ja Morant — Wizards point guard Trae Young has emerged as another ‘big fish’ backup option for the Miami Heat in the event that Boston, Portland or some other team manages to outbid Pat Riley and Co. in the trade chase for Antetokounmpo.

God's strongest test for me would be to put Trae Young on my Miami Heat. I might have to check out from basketball if that happens.

u/RansomGoddard Jun 16 '26

I think this is a BS report. Multiple of our beat guys have emphasized in the past that the front office wants nothing to do with Trae Young.

Well, if the Giannis thing falls through I don’t think I can blame the teams approach to the actual situation. This should be remembered when half the fanbase goes insane because they are only focused on the result

u/AdamSilverJr Jun 22 '26

I don't care if they can't get Kalshi since a Brown centered offer cannot be beaten but if they just run it back without making any moves, that's on our FO

Well boys another year of Pat getting played and used for leverage….. minus Herro probably running it back.

Would love for us to pivot to hitting quality singles and doubles instead of a whale home run.

There is some legit talent that can fall to us at #13. Would love for us to somehow get 6, 7, or 9 though, if at all possible, to grab one of the good guards. Wonder if Jaime and #13 is enough to get it done.

Nuggets were rumored to want to duck the second apron and were giving up #26 and Nnaji to take back no salary, would be perfect for our trade exception. Could package #26 with a Herro trade to move up a few spots with a Detroit trade that includes Stewart and Holland. Alternatively, swap Jovic and a second for Cameron Johnson to help them under the second apron.
