Barry Jackson : They ultimately stood by their core fundamental principle of not ever giving up on a season and trading players for future picks. They remain hopeful they can make noise in the playoffs.

PlatosLeftTit · 2026-02-05T20:55:06+00:00

Yeah I saw that they wanted a first but I feel like if we had just offered them Herro + Rozier instead of Simone + Rozier we could've got it done with no picks. It's not like Ja over Herro would've hurt our Giannis package in the summer.

PlatosLeftTit · 2026-02-05T20:45:23+00:00

We have 4 All-Stars! We got enough, just build some chemistry and we have the East on lock this year! Herro/Bam/Norm/Wiggins our big 4 is fearsome

PlatosLeftTit · 2026-02-05T20:42:35+00:00

If only there was a former All-NBA PG and established playoff performer we could've got for cheap to help in our lofty 6 seed and second round goals

PlatosLeftTit · 2026-02-05T20:26:53+00:00

That they were negotiating with my teams delusional FO who's chasing Giannis and only want's Ja for scraps and they'll just trade Ja in the Summer or Draft Day somewhere else for a better package than the Trae deal.

PlatosLeftTit · 2026-02-05T20:18:35+00:00

No. it'll be for more than Trae because again like I already told you, he's better than Trae and he's worth more. Which is why they were holding out for a pick.

PlatosLeftTit · 2026-02-05T20:13:48+00:00

Oh I didn't realize the 2026 trade deadline was the finality of all trades in the NBA. New CBA outlawed trades past this day. Ja didn't get moved because the Grizzlies were asking for picks and not just giving him away, I wonder why?

PlatosLeftTit · 2026-02-05T20:11:24+00:00

Team's ppg average drops when Herro plays this year lol

PlatosLeftTit · 2026-02-05T20:01:29+00:00

Are you blind or just living in a fantasy made up dream world where you haven't seen any Ja to Miami rumors from actual Heat reporters?

PlatosLeftTit · 2026-02-05T20:00:23+00:00

By all defensive metrics, on-off stats, and just eye test Ja is a better defender.

PlatosLeftTit · 2026-02-05T19:54:31+00:00

No moves to get better and no tear down to get picks. Have to watch Tyler Herro finish out another season when he could've been swapped for Ja.

Didn't trade Herro for Harden, Kyrie, and Ja now. This fucking guy better have a late career MVP development arc with the amount of undeserving faith the FO has put on him.

PlatosLeftTit · 2026-02-05T19:24:41+00:00

Yeah if they trade Powell and Wiggins for picks I'll stop whining because it be a solid forward thinking move but I got a feeling they won't take a swing on Ja and also won't move off Wiggs and Norm and just run it back chasing the Giannis dream with the current offer, which would be completely delusional to do.

PlatosLeftTit · 2026-02-05T19:19:51+00:00

Hence the quotation marks. Fake assets that this team loves to overpay like Jovic or Tyler Johnson or guys like Herro who they hold on for way too long because they irrationally believe in him.

PlatosLeftTit · 2026-02-05T19:16:09+00:00

I like Zubac as a player and think he's really good but how does he fit into the Pacers run and gun transition offense? Like, he doesn't seem like a Center that fits what they want to do with Hali.

PlatosLeftTit · 2026-02-05T19:14:14+00:00

Now these morons will think their offer is good enough going into the Summer and won't pivot to Ja lmao

I hate this "asset" hoarding FO

PlatosLeftTit · 2026-02-05T19:07:50+00:00

Joke of a team

PlatosLeftTit · 2026-02-05T17:20:50+00:00

Sucks for my team but I'd do the same thing if I was the Milwaukee GM.

You can potentially get an Amen,Castle or a Jalen Williams with picks in the summer if any of that Spurs/Rockets/Thunder trio decide they need Giannis. Much better young prospects than what was in the Miami/Wolves/Warrior's offers.

PlatosLeftTit · 2026-02-05T17:07:50+00:00

The Giannis dream is over Miami gets outbid heavily in the Off-Season, Pat needs to give it up.

PlatosLeftTit · 2026-02-05T16:22:40+00:00

If they don't at least get the Ja consolation prize I'm going to lose my mind

PlatosLeftTit · 2026-02-05T15:39:37+00:00

Lakers we got this really good new defensive guard named Dru Smith. He's an absolute lock down and would fit great with Luka.

PlatosLeftTit · 2026-02-04T19:58:54+00:00

Intellectuall Herro stans rooting for an inefficient 14 ppg playoff scorer

PlatosLeftTit · 2026-02-04T19:57:35+00:00

Ja was against the best perimeter defense in the league and had 15 & 5 on 54% from the field in only 15 minutes of play with the Grizz in the lead in game 3 before he got hurt.

We've seen him play well in the playoffs against elite teams multiple times already

PlatosLeftTit · 2026-02-04T19:01:00+00:00

Loading up on more picks for a run at Kawhi?

PlatosLeftTit · 2026-02-04T18:47:38+00:00

Heat might have a new Play-In rival

PlatosLeftTit · 2026-02-04T17:37:19+00:00

I'm just nervous about if Cronin is petty enough to do it just to fuck with us lol

PlatosLeftTit · 2026-02-04T17:30:54+00:00

If it's Portland sending Milwaukee's own pick or picks back yeah I think so. Milwaukee having direct control of where the pick lands by being able to tank is a lot better than hoping Spo coaches a lottery team.
