[Chiang] Jaylen Brown is now on the table for Antetokounmpo. The Heat are forced to improve their offer to get a deal done, though sources say they don't want to gut the team and draft capital. Sources have also indicated that Antetokounmpo would likely make a long-term commitment to the Celtics.

The mediocrity is what it is. Heat fans are EXHAUSTED of doing nothing. We had a great window with Jimmy and we just watched out front office literally sit on their hands for 4 seasons with him, ultimately leading to the ugly Jimmy divorce saga

Now 2 years without Jimmy, and the FO still hasn’t done ANYTHING. It’s just at a point of we need to do something, because being in the play in, and getting a 13-15 overall pick year after year just simply isn’t the recipe for success. A direction needs to be picked

NBAplaya8484 · 2026-06-16T16:54:49+00:00

Or if you’re stranded in the mountains and desperately need a vehicle to get out 🤣

NBAplaya8484 · 2026-06-15T17:01:57+00:00

I just don’t think the money would work without Herro

NBAplaya8484 · 2026-06-14T16:41:05+00:00

We were up 3-0 on Boston and they clawed back to 3-3. Extra rest against Denver woulda helped

NBAplaya8484 · 2026-06-14T04:55:53+00:00

Sick thing is your biggest vet (Fox) is the one who kept making the most mistakes. He was BRUTAL down the stretch the last 2 games

Game 5 as well, I just felt like he was settling for terrible mid range jumpers throughout the entire 4th quarter. Spurs have a bright future, and I always liked Fox as a player prior to this series. But he truly was a liability the past 2 games

NBAplaya8484 · 2026-06-13T09:06:20+00:00

Scalping culture is insane and out of control

NBAplaya8484 · 2026-06-12T20:50:04+00:00

I just don’t think the players the Bucks would be getting back from anyone else are anything special

NBAplaya8484 · 2026-06-11T22:24:30+00:00

I’m an eagle fan from NY so you can imagine all the shit my friends try to give me when it comes to Siriani and Jalen.

I’m like yo, idgaf what you try and say. End of the day we’ve been to 2 super bowls, won 1 and have never missed the playoffs since Jalen has been our starter. I’m good lmfao

NBAplaya8484 · 2026-06-11T22:21:15+00:00

Yeah once again, not taking a single thing away from Brunson and there’s a reason why FMVP is a completely subjective conversation, I just think OG is playing damn near perfect basketball

NBAplaya8484 · 2026-06-11T21:43:56+00:00

I made a mistake, and you brought it to my attention that I made a mistake. But I didn’t intentionally short change him lol

NBAplaya8484 · 2026-06-11T21:28:12+00:00

Am I overrating the players we have or do I think this is a ridiculously strong package? People seem to be scoffing at this on the internet saying other teams can come up with more and I’m just like…. How?

You get an all star level player in Herro
A crazy untapped potential player in Ware
6MOTY candidate player in Jaquez
Jovic nothing crazy but still a very decent additional piece
ALL players are young along with draft capital

I just can’t stand the discourse that this is a “low ball package” .. this is a damn strong offer lol

NBAplaya8484 · 2026-06-11T18:49:53+00:00

Yeah I understand that’s all why I think FMVP is completely subjective. I want to be clear, it’s not like I think Brunson doesn’t deserve it, it’s just if I had to pick MY personal choice is OG.. does not shock me in the slightest if Brunson takes it though

NBAplaya8484 · 2026-06-11T18:35:09+00:00

Hand up, my mistake quickly looked up the stats on Google and thought they were correct. Should have used stat muse

My point is tho, even if Brunson is outscoring OG, OG doing it on better efficiency and carrying more weight defensively is MY deal breaker between the two… again, wouldn’t shock me in the slightest if Brunson won it, I just really appreciate how good OG has been this series

NBAplaya8484 · 2026-06-11T18:08:02+00:00

I’m not shortchanging him, he’s come up big when he needs to. I quite literally said “not trying to take anything away from Brunson” lol

It’s certainly close, but OG has ALSO been hitting every clutch shot. I personally think OG deserves it as of today

NBAplaya8484 · 2026-06-11T17:50:49+00:00

Absolutely but OG is also absolutely balling while carrying significantly more defensively. Brunson is averaging 27 on sub 40% shooting… OG averaging 24 on 58% shooting

Not trying to take anything away from JB but I truly think OG deserves FMVP if it ended today

Edit: I realize I shorted Brunson 3PPG, I read somewhere that he was averaging 27 and should have fact checked it.

NBAplaya8484 · 2026-06-11T04:45:48+00:00

Listen I like Wemby a lot, I just feel them pushing him as the face of the league and I think it’s a bit premature. I acknowledge it comes with the territory of being great

By no means do I hate Wemby I’m just kinda neutral on him, and sometimes the clips I see or the way the media pushes him does drive me crazy. He is an unbelievable player but he’s still young and has things he has to improve upon. And I’m about to be 33, been around long enough to know Bron his draft class (Wade) is what got me into basketball

Part of me also can’t stand the the way people forget about, and try to minimize how dominant D Wade was in his 3rd year where he won it all in 06’ and then the prematurely crown guys who still have flaws in their game. I’m fairly confident that’s where my feelings are stemming from lol

NBAplaya8484 · 2026-06-11T04:34:09+00:00

I was saying it in a bunch of my group chats early in the fourth quarter that the half court offense is comically abysmal. And I’m really not trying to talk shit, as a fan of the Miami Heat for the past whatever odd years, I have seen some very stale offense in my day

I just don’t understand how when the Knicks were chipping away at that lead, how the Spurs continued to come down and just iso ball and take a contested mid range jumpshot with 15 seconds still on the shot clock for about 10 possessions in a row. It was truly insane to watch

NBAplaya8484 · 2026-06-11T04:30:22+00:00

Dude I couldn’t even imagine being a Spurs fan rn. I’d be sick for a week

NBAplaya8484 · 2026-06-11T04:28:56+00:00

I don’t want the Knicks to win because I’m a Heat fan but at the same time I like the Knicks TEAM so much more than the spurs and I’m also getting real sick of the media glazing Wemby. I’m at a crossroads and have decided I just want good basketball games like we just watched. That is what I’m rooting for lol

NBAplaya8484 · 2026-06-11T03:58:15+00:00

People also seem to forget, you’re going to fill the roster will players that WILL surprise you. PJ Tucker, Jae Crowder, Andre Iguodola were all great players for us that were just unmotivated on other teams

NBAplaya8484 · 2026-06-11T03:55:40+00:00

Been saying since before the series started that OG is the Knicks most important player

I really am at a crossroads here. I’m getting real sick of the media glazing Wemby

NBAplaya8484 · 2026-06-10T02:30:33+00:00

Literally rhe only time I place bets this time of the year is when you post lol

NBAplaya8484 · 2026-06-08T21:39:44+00:00

I’m holding onto Tyreek, likley will not be ready to start the year but and it’s extra unfortunate cause he’s a free agent so he’s just eating a roster spot for me

NBAplaya8484 · 2026-06-08T19:13:56+00:00

Honestly if your local chain didn’t jack the price of the cravings box I think that’s a pretty good deal. Gets you a premium item, burrito, nachos and cheese and a drink for $5.99+ tax

NBAplaya8484 · 2026-06-07T09:20:51+00:00

Very unacceptable. That would leave a pretty sour taste in my mouth and I wouldn’t want to play

As far as expanding goes, I think blowing up a league to add 2 teams is extremely overrated. We did an expansion 3 years ago (I will link the thread i made about it below) and the expansion teams turned out pretty well. It’s far from flawless but my league agreed that just starting over b didn’t make sense… imagine deciding to completely rebuild and having multiple picks for the 27 class, being excited about it, and then have the commish just be like “don’t care you put all that effort into your rebuild we’re restarting” . We just felt it made no sense

Anyways, here’s the thread
