That was a great finish by jjj, and kabam with them clutch 3’s, idk he had it in him. Back to back to back. Had the crowd in a frenzy, it was truly a magnificent win.👌
I would start Jaime at PG and have Herro come off the bench with Mitchell, Larsson, Ware and ? He could have his own stage against second teams, score points and raise his extension and trade values. Win/Win situation.

If I didn’t know better, I would think Jaquez is a PG. He has a knack for finding the open man. 8 assists tonight. Herro reverted to iso ball in second half. His assists/playmaking are down this year. One game at a time. Celtics next then OKC followed by 5 game western road trip.
Next game is midway point. If Heat win it projects to 44-38 season. If they lose, it projects to 42-40. Probably good for 7th/8th place. That’s assuming Riley doesn’t pull off a trade or two, one way or another.

Beat a good team, but that 17 point lead disappeared too fast.
I put Zion and Morant in the same category (Injury prone, prima donnas with excess baggage. I just threw Zion out there for the hell of it.
Things change. They are now talking about standing pat with their starters but may be shopping Dejounte Murray, Jordan Poole, Saddiq Bey, Jose Alvarado and Kevon Looney.
Depending on how Herro is playing by the trade deadline, if Herro is to be traded, I would take Murray any day over Morant. He is recovering from Achilles surgery and is expected back next month. His 2026-2027 salary is $32.8M (with a $30.8M option in 2027-2028). Herro’s salary in 2026-2027 is $33.0M, when his contract expires.
u add zion demar nurkic and giveup zero fonzi wiggins convict your talking competing for the east.the chance sof that happening very small but sounds great sun.wish u were our gm

bams effort level is unacceptable this second half hes seriously not putting any effort out there.herros suking but at least hes giving it his all. f u bam
jrue holiday doesnt fit in young portland would sun do a dav for jrue trade
Not for $34.8M and $37.2M over the next two years. He’ll turn 36 in June and has only played 3 games this season.
Morant’s salary is even more, $42.2 in 2026-2027 and $44.9M in 2027-2028.
Mitchell is scheduled to make $12.4M next year and rarely misses a game (only twice this season).
No. You know what you have with Dav. You don’t with Jrue.
36 years old guard not named Steph, no thank you. We don’t need a Lowry 2.0
jimmys hairdo tonight lol
That was a great finish by jjj, and kabam with them clutch 3’s, idk he had it in him. Back to back to back. Had the crowd in a frenzy, it was truly a magnificent win.👌
id like to see him at the point and dav as his backup
I would to ngl, but spo won’t do that, plus the bench needs him, with herro starting.
I would start Jaime at PG and have Herro come off the bench with Mitchell, Larsson, Ware and ? He could have his own stage against second teams, score points and raise his extension and trade values. Win/Win situation.

20 point lead.
can jjj be our full time pg? he gets to the hoop and if not makes great passes super impressed.dav could be his backup.dru kinda suks ars
I was thinking the same thing. Trade Herro, Fontecchio and pick for Zion. Put him at SF. Trade Rozen for Jurkic and Wiggins for DeRozan.
I read the Pelicans said they aren’t trading Zion.
every player is tradeable except a few ss .depends on the offers u get
We will see very soon
if sun was our gm i can assure u hed be on the phone 24 7 pat at his age thinking of his next cruise with mickey

Can’t believe they lost a 17 point lead. Okay, actually I can believe we lost a 17 point lead. Exasperating, and I’m glad I’m glad I’m not watching.
ware is getting worse hes just not playing enough.
