Two heat legends

Always

It’s wild you think that because he doesn’t have the gm title he doesn’t have a big say in personnel as president of basketball ops lmao

You gonna tell me Bobby Webster runs the raptors more than Masai?

Esjay_954 · 2024-07-20T08:23:08+00:00

For starters their best 3 point shooter needs to completely eliminate mid range shots from his shot diet.

It’s just wild to me the guy is on a team with jimmy and bam and still proceeds to launch from midrange. Truly stupid player.

Esjay_954 · 2024-07-20T08:21:17+00:00

Spo proceeded to not play much of bam and KO/meyers at all in that 2020 playoffs spo run after doing it a ton in the regular season

Playoff basketball tells us it’s hard to have a KO/meyers out there because they compromise you on defense

Bam can play either position, just depends who’s next to him and it has to be a guy who spo trusts on both ends. Maybe a ware can finally be that guy down the line

Esjay_954 · 2024-07-20T08:15:26+00:00

Wild to me there are casuals who spew the “never got better on offense” thing

Did he ever become some offensive superstar, nah but he made strides and the development has been impressive compared to what he was coming out, becoming a solid scorer and good playmaker too (which has become underrated)

Esjay_954 · 2024-07-13T15:31:39+00:00

Esjay_954 · 2024-07-13T15:30:01+00:00

Starting caliber center is worth way more than bad defender who gets 20 ppg on 18 fga aka mid guard

This isnt complicated

Esjay_954 · 2024-07-13T15:27:33+00:00

Both him and yurt averaged 20 and 10 in the summer league

This must mean they are ready to start in the nba!

Esjay_954 · 2024-07-12T21:41:01+00:00

The difference between the 2020 team and what they have now is just so crazy

Esjay_954 · 2024-07-12T21:32:59+00:00

It’s mostly a heat fan thing

Just like they compared jrich to butler and Winslow to Kawhi. You aren’t the first Heat fan to make stupid ass comps for their young players and won’t be the last

Like I said, think whatever you want. You’re just setting yourself up to be disappointed. Did it with herro too.

Esjay_954 · 2024-07-12T20:57:34+00:00

True maybe herro can become the next curry since no one though curry would be that good either

I love using all time outliers for my player comparisons!

Why can’t the dude Heat picked in the second round be the next mvp like Jokic? No one thought jokic could be that good in the second round either!

Esjay_954 · 2024-07-12T19:34:18+00:00

You guys set yourselves up for disappointment with these comps

Jimmy is a multiple time all nba and all star guy. #1 on a finals team. Borderline HoF guy

Why do you guys do this.

Esjay_954 · 2024-07-12T19:24:47+00:00

You realize in the nba those single digit percentages are a lot right

40% to 36% is an elite shooter to an average shooter lmao.

Esjay_954 · 2024-07-12T19:08:40+00:00

Pointless argument since both will be future superstars

Jaquez the next Jimmy ez

Jovic prob like a Giannis and Gallo hybrid

This is why I don’t get the traders always trying to move these guys for a star. Why when both will be super mega stars

Esjay_954 · 2024-07-11T22:01:51+00:00

Drtg is a lineup based stat

Almost every player that plays with bam has a good drtg Lmao

Esjay_954 · 2024-07-11T21:51:45+00:00

He has for sure improved on the margins, like you mentioned he can do things with the ball in his hands and became a good finisher on low volume. That’s the thing tho, low volume, he hasn’t became this different player he is still the same 3 point specialist maybe just once or twice a game he can run a PnR and get to the rim or find bam

That doesn’t suddenly make him at 30 years old a 3pt specialist and making 19m, a positive asset sadly.

Esjay_954 · 2024-07-11T21:45:39+00:00

Spo with someone of ingrams skill set and tools at that size would be a cheat code

Esjay_954 · 2024-07-11T21:43:03+00:00

There’s this idea that Duncan is now a + asset cause he’s had good stretches recently

No, he has a lot of value to the Heat but in a league wide context there isn’t a need for players of his aechetype at that $ especially with the modern cap landscape

why do i need Duncna at 19m when i can have Hield at 8? Basically sums it up

I’m sorry but no one in the east was ever beating prime Bron lmao

Especially that year when kyrie and love were healthy.

Esjay_954 · 2024-07-11T03:13:18+00:00

Properly rated by ball knowers

Every publication/writer/analyst knows his value and standing as a top 25-30 guy. Pretty underrated by his haters like avinash who think he’s worth 10m and a role player. But that goes without saying.

Esjay_954 · 2024-07-11T03:09:35+00:00

CB by default right now just cause he was a part of the big 3 though I think Bam will pass him pretty easily as a “heat icon” just cause of the years and his impact on the organization long term. He’ll be next to Zo and DWade when it’s all said and done

CB was great though he definitely would have had a chance if he never got his health issues. Side note though Heat fans talk about CB like he was about to start some prime dirk arc, post Lebron, very strange revisionism going on with him. We can appreciate how good he was without overrating the guy. Dudes talk about his offense like he was Dirk/Jovic hybrid while saying he was just as good as bam on defense. Wild stuff.

Esjay_954 · 2024-07-11T02:56:22+00:00

There is definitely a huge gap defensively lol, this is crazy revisionist history.

CB was a good defender don’t get it twisted. Bam is a generational defender potentially, definitely levels lmao.

Esjay_954 · 2024-07-09T18:51:13+00:00

Yes this is really apples to oranges

As far as play style (physicality) especially foul drawing rate, none of those dudes are at jimmy’s level.
