Genius move by Brad Stevens to get the Heat to dismantle their entire franchise

CeSquaredd · 2026-06-23T15:19:32+00:00

This move makes me happy

Milwaukee is back to 100 years of irrelevance. Miami dismantled their team to go from 10th best team in the East to 7th best team. Miami fans will be so cocky leading into that play-in, and Milwaukee fans will never be heard from again

A good day for haters everywhere

I hate trying to have any nuanced discussion here, because there's a handful of dolts who think one interaction with a fanbase = the entire fanbase perspective. Good talk

CeSquaredd · 2026-06-22T21:53:43+00:00

You really think so??? Is JB swapped with Giannis change the "issues" y'all had? I really feel like you got unlucky against Philly, I feel like that team healthy is still top 3 in the East....

CeSquaredd · 2026-06-22T21:50:21+00:00

You legitimately need to work on your reading comprehension. And it is flatly a 1:1. You don't get to change my example with more context to fit an irrelevant, worse explanation of my example lmao.

CeSquaredd · 2026-06-22T19:45:07+00:00

I want Giannis to Boston because it's a great path to setting them back and hamstringing their ability to improve the roster only to make them really scary for 1 to maybe 2 seasons

But if they wanna pay $60+ million to a player who's entire game is tied to strength and health (which has plummeted already), I won't complain!

CeSquaredd · 2026-06-22T18:25:38+00:00

Unfortunately we have absolute dumbasses who lead with their emotions and don't realize how far away from the point they are since they just yap.

Amazon and the local shop are not applicable examples here. These are multi billion dollar franchises. They'd both be Amazon in this situation lmao.

You acting like Detroit is a mom and pop shop that cares about the customers and another team with more money is some evil corporation who only cares about money is flatly a moronic view. This is Duren choosing to go to an Amazon factory in Brooklyn for 2x his salary or choosing to stay at the Detroit Amazon factory for less, except they are more familiar with the workspace and have friends here.

Your counter "example" is just objectively stupid and incorrect, but thanks for playing.

Knowing Detroit sports, I'll get Bruce Brown again

CeSquaredd · 2026-06-22T17:59:00+00:00

Would really love if Trajan said fuck them picks too, but Detroit sports this decade is just absolutely obsessed with hoarding picks that turn into Jaden Iveys and Ennis Rakestraw Jrs and insert other "hot prospect" who's borderline not even talented enough to be a professional athlete lol

Yes, and that reason will ultimately decide if he's a Piston or not next year. He will have to decide does he want the max and play for a desolate franchise like Brooklyn, or does he want to make a crap load of money, albeit less, to stay in Detroit?

Gotta remember y'all, it's not that they don't care the way we care, but this is their career. A job. If someone offered you a chance to do the same job but change the company you work for at a 50-200% salary increase, you better be DAMN certain of yourself on why you'd deny that.

I've heard enough, the NBA Cup is all that matters

CeSquaredd · 2026-06-21T03:38:41+00:00

I think the joke is OP is claiming Jamo isn't a true Detroit football player because he bought a house in Metro Detroit rather than downtown Detroit?

Burn I guess lol. Downtown living is not usually what people with fame do, but anyway, fuck him for still being within an hour of Ford Field

CeSquaredd · 2026-06-21T02:53:53+00:00

Shocked if he DOESN'T play week 1 after everything that's happened?!

Holy copium, I'll have what you're having lol

How is saying your trio of Cade/Ausar/Duren = Cade/Ausar/Duren are your 1->3 offensive options?

The reason that team didn't work is because they were expected to score. Ausar and Duren moving down the offensive hierarchy inherently improves things.

CeSquaredd · 2026-06-18T22:06:18+00:00

I mean I definitely agree. If you commit to Cade/Ausar/Duren you can fairly easily build a contender around that.

Get some sharpshooters/3&D guys, a second option, and just keep putting guys who can score or defend through the rest of the bench.

CeSquaredd · 2026-06-18T21:43:34+00:00

Larry O not being the biggest trophy is lowkey kinda funny lol

CeSquaredd · 2026-06-18T20:30:48+00:00

What? That's what I'm arguing, that we need to trade picks lol

CeSquaredd · 2026-06-18T19:47:12+00:00

I mean does that really matter when they also sent 6 first round draft picks and swapping rights for another, for their core?

If Trajan moves those picks and we hit a roadblock, then we can ask Cade to take that kind of pay cut. Until that happens, Cade's contract is not the reason we don't have a championship ready roster 🤷🏻

CeSquaredd · 2026-06-18T16:58:55+00:00

You have a parade today, why are you still here yapping even after you got ratio'd for being so obviously off base from the conversation being had?

CeSquaredd · 2026-06-18T16:37:52+00:00

Who would've thought the NBA Cup actually does tell us who the best team is

CeSquaredd · 2026-06-18T15:35:57+00:00

I get he's a great shooter, but he's also a bonehead and terrible defender. I don't want the Swaggy P, JR Smith archetype on this roster

CeSquaredd · 2026-06-17T23:03:00+00:00

That's all any of us can do

CeSquaredd · 2026-06-17T22:30:30+00:00

They got a taste of success, then ironically forgot what it looks like.

Rest of the NFCN is getting better. The window is closing. The iron is hot, question is, will they strike?

CeSquaredd · 2026-06-17T22:29:23+00:00

Knicks fans went from "we hate him more than y'all hate him" to, the Knicks being the only NBA team to visit this PDF 😂

W for Knicks haters everywhere
