@Rudy22571833 If Wiggins opts out and signs a 3 year team friendly deal that pays him more in the later years, that'll open up Norman to come back. A lot of people have mixed opinions on Norman but I think he can be solid with the lineup

@badgerscores @MilwaukeeMeade U gotta realize the season doesn't start tomorrow. Miami has free agency for a reason. Same thing when they brought in lebron wade and bosh they only had those guys under contract plus udonis haslem and Joel Anthony. But they added via FA and guys wanted to come play with them
English
@MilwaukeeMeade in a league that’s based this heavily on depth, losing the best 6th man in the league as well as a good young backup center and another solid rotational player (kasparas) is losing a lot. adding giannis obviously adds a fuckton, but you risk one injury derailing your season now
English
The only additive players the Heat traded for Giannis were Herro and Jaime Jaquez and people think they got worse man Are people like actually dumb or do they forget how good Giannis is
English
@Flllashhh Everyone acting like Norman's completely gone. Wiggins can opt out of his option, take a long term team friendly deal that'll pay him more in the later years, which then creates money to bring him back AND add to the bench. People don't know how salary works
English
Davion, Powell, and Wiggins all shot near 40% from 3 btw
Denodino@Denodino_
Absolutely zero floor spacing
English
@SpursAreHere @dv24s Agreed. Wemby does need to develop more of a paint/post game rather than trying to shoot from the perimeter. But yeah this kid is cooked regardless
English
@dv24s Now any center that’s over 7’2 is the “Wemby Stopper” lmao it’s not that simple
English
@destrphforless @Fullcourtpass @JimOwczarski Yeah no. Miami attracts these caliber players for a reason. I'm sure he'll enjoy playing way more with bam then Myles turner 😂😂🤣
English
@Fullcourtpass @JimOwczarski I promise you he’ll experience the same in miami😂
English
Giannis Antetokounmpo called his Bucks teammates "selfish", per @JimOwczarski
“Antetokounmpo let it be known he did not like locker room leaks, but his mental state was chronicled nearly all season by anonymous sources. He pleaded for accountability but then tried to pass off those reports as someone else’s doing. He would call his teammates selfish but then stand on a visiting team’s court with a former coach and yell about how that person would make sure he got the ball.”

English
@hedging_henry There's something called free agency. Also Miami seems to have a random summer league guy come outta no where ever year
English
As much as people have clowned the Bucks for this process (myself included), they got basically everything possible from the Heat
From Miami / Giannis's perspective, this is a disaster IMO. I don't think they're a legit contender and don't have the assets to get there
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
BLOCKBUSTER: The Milwaukee Bucks are trading franchise icon Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to the Miami Heat for Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakucionis, 3 first-round picks (including No. 13), 1 pick swap and 1 second-rounder, sources tell ESPN.
English
@HeatCulture13 @vibes_nate The good thing about these guys takes are always stone cold wrong. So should be good new for Miami lol
English
@vibes_nate Definitely circling back on all these takes one day
English
Nick Wright thinks the Heat could be the 7th seed next year:
"With the Heat, I would be stunned if they win a title. I would not be stunned if next year, they are the 7th seed. I would not be stunned by that"
English
@buffoons_p0d @theblockspot But 3 first round picks in the nba are no where near equivalent to 3 first round picks in nfl. NFL valued way more
English
@theblockspot Ehh, think it’s massively different. No position in sports is as important as QB play. You also get an elite top 3-5 QB in the league, so also massive.
Giannis isn’t 2021 Giannis anymore
English
@Cangelosifan @SoFlSportsGuy33 They probably can't on just 1 player is what he meant.
English
@SoFlSportsGuy33 Barry said they can’t use all of the MLE. Don’t ask me why though
English
After the Giannis and Portis move, the Heat have the following remaining exceptions to work with:
•Haywood Highsmith Trade Exception: $5.6 million (Expires August 17)
•Full Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level Exception (MLE): $15.0 million
•Bi-Annual Exception: $5.5 million
English
@Scottmicha48098 @NotAdamNB They have the MLE, the bi annual exception, and trade exception money from Haywood highsmith. They're not loaded but they have more money then you think
English
@NotAdamNB Heat are hard capped at $18m and cant go into the 2nd apron with 4 roster spots to fill. Powell is a UFA so he would eat that $18m if he even bit. They have no shooting spacing playmaking depth chemistry. They need to trade Wiggins for cap relief or return. They are in trouble.
English
@Dinwiddie5h8r @PassportHaven @TheDunkCentral @WindhorstESPN @GetUpESPN @HeatCulture13 Yo I was mad confused reading that tweet too😂😂
English
@PassportHaven @TheDunkCentral @WindhorstESPN @GetUpESPN @HeatCulture13 Your comment makes no sense. On one hand you’re saying Powell is not that good but now you’re clowning Miami for letting him walk….huh?
English
The Miami Heat are expected to lose Norman Powell in free agency, per @WindhorstESPN
“They’re gonna lose their All Star, Norman Powell. Unless he takes a crazy discount. He’s gonna be gone.”
(Via @GetUpESPN / h/t @HeatCulture13 )
English
@joelvmoran There's something called free agency lol. Also I'm sure the heat will have some random summer league guy emerge for them like they do every year
English
Miami Heat starting 5 if they resign their free agents:
Davion Mitchell
Norman Powell
Andrew Wiggins
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Bam Adebayo
This isn’t terrible but the bench is so so bad…
English
@4KTSwervo Pat didn't refuse to get him help he struck out multiple times. Cmon bro we know Pat Riley is always hunting
English
Giannis Antetokounmpo just ruined the rest of his career. Atleast Milwaukee did their best to get you a winning roster. Pat Riley refused to get Jimmy any help. You are getting the same treatment lmfao. Giannis and Bam are going to be worse than the Hornets next season. SAVE THIS
English
Best trade I have made yet. I think every team should be happy
English
@Cs_Confidential @Giannis_An34 @jaytatum0 No way this is a real post 😭 I'll take the guy who came back down 2-0 in a finals to be the leader
English
Let’s get this out of the way now before Giannis is actually on the Celtics …
Jayson Tatum is a better basketball player than Giannis.
This is Tatum’s team, and Giannis is an overqualified Robin, but Robin nonetheless.
English
Celtics are now -300 to win the Giannis sweepstakes. That means if you bet $100 you only get about $130 back. Heat are +200. Meaning bet $100 to get $300 back. You could say Boston is now a sizeable favorite to win the trade.
English
@CooperGoede Fair but do you genuinely want bostons package over miami? I don't see how you could. Yeah browns a superstar but your right back were you where with Giannis
English
The worst part about all of this is, is the two teams you’d want Giannis to go the least being a #Bucks fan are Boston and Miami.
And the worst part is, I think I am leaning toward wanting him to land in Boston solely because of how bad the #Heat fans and media have been the last couple of weeks.
Boston fan base has been hating on him for years too so all this love now is so fake. Same with Miami though and neither are going to truly appreciate him.
English
@jknic002 @HeatleMiami Not necessarily, the bucks can just flip Herro. Or maybe they actually want him to play for them contrary to what's been reported
English
@HeatleMiami Nope. We need a third team to send MIL another pick for Herro. One to one benefits BOS IMO.
English
It being a 1 on 1 trade should make the Heat fans feel much better no ???
Heat Central@HeatCulture13
Giannis Antetokounmpo WILL BE traded before the draft and is focused on Boston or Miami, per @ShamsCharania “I want to make this clear, whichever deal occurs, it’s going to be a one for one deal. It’s going to consist of MIL and one of these two teams. There’s no 3rd and 4th teams… Giannis from my understanding is ready to be traded”
English
@WeeeesssssTV I don't get the bucks wanting brown. Let's trade our superstar who doesn't wanna be here for another star player who wouldn't wanna be here and non-lottery picks
English
If Jaylen Brown was available, this deal was already done.
Pook Wade@biscaynemayne
Common sense is telling me that Boston has clearly made Jaylen brown available And common sense clearly tells me that Jaylen brown to Milwaukee or a third team will fetch more assets for the bucks than Tyler Herro could Seems like Giannis isn’t coming then to the heat man :/
