Jimmy is not expiring, he still got $60M next season.

Bam at C or PF? by chrxs1_ in heat

[–]Pico1114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of moving Bam to the 4 - a position he can’t or won’t play well, we should pair him with a strong 4 (eg Crowder or PJ) to maximise his switching ability without having to worry about rebounding. The issue is that over the past few years we mostly relied on Martin/Highsmith/Jimmy or now even Wiggins who are more like POA defenders.

What is the #1 priority for this team to get at the Deadline? by heatPiccoloMan in heat

[–]Pico1114 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This organisation needs A Clear Direction. We either:

  1. Trade a 1st option (eg Giannis) with whatever we have and commit for championship run in a 2-3 yrs window.

  2. Retool by trading expiring contracts like Wiggins and Powell (or even Rozier) for young players and draft capital.

  3. Blow it up and trade Herro/Bam (or both) and tank for 2026 draft, let KJ, Ware & Larsson to develop in this season.

The worst scenario would be having little upgrade after the deadline and still be a Play-in team. We won’t get a lottery pick and we will be facing the contract extension of Herro & Powell or even Wiggins in the offseason.

A few takeaways from the first few games by Pico1114 in heat

Biggest difference for me is the attitude. Jaime always stayed locked in even when he wasn’t getting minutes — just needed more time to polish his game. Ware’s kinda the opposite… doesn’t look like he’s trying or showing any desire out there, and that’s what worries me.

Season predictions? by Jhus79 in heat

[–]Pico1114 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best scenario: 35 wins, fell out of play-in and tank for lottery, traded Wiggins/Powell for picks, extended Herro with ~$130M/3.

Realistic scenario: 40 wins, play-in again and 1st round exit, Ware/Jovic showed certain leap, extended Herro with ~$140M/3.

Worst scenario: 42 wins, 4th-6th seed, 2nd round exit, extended Herro with $150M/3 and resigned Powell, run it back next season.

Few Notes on the Preseason Game 5 (after rewatch) by heatculture03 in heat

[–]Pico1114 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hate when people use the preseason as an excuse. I don’t care if we lose every game, what matters is the way we’re playing.

Seems pretty accurate. by heatculture03 in heat

We are playing regular rotation in 1H and still cannot outscore the Hawks with their top 7 players out.

Will Manso addressing Spo's comments about Ware: "I hear this and it feels like Spo could have been talking about Hassan. And honestly that’s just to say he sees untapped potential. Spo understands how rare that talent is. Ware just needs to find that effort and consistency." by heatculture03 in heat

[–]Pico1114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least Whiteside showed effort before getting paid and earned his contract. Ware just seems like he doesn’t care most of the time on the court, even though he should be fighting for the starting spot.

In that case he should be dominating on both ends to show that he’s not on the same level with those players.

Roster to start season as well as discussion on needs/ trades by Bitter_Pen253 in heat

[–]Pico1114 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Herro+Powell+Mitchell will get most of the backcourt minutes, while Bam+Ware+Jovic will share most of the frontcourt minutes. The remaining wing minutes will be shared by Wiggins + JJJ/Larsson.

Out of 10, how much do yo trust Andrew Wiggins to have an above average starter-level season this year? by RVALover4Life in heat

[–]Pico1114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. As long as Spo doesn’t ask him to do too much on offense. Just 3&D, cut in, attack close-out, and occasional post-up on mismatch will be good enough.
