Jimmy Butler unstoppable in the second half

The Heat don't have enough to make the trade, there would have to be a third team involved, this will sound crazy, but since you bathe in crazy, what the hell. In the offseason there were rumors that GS was interested in Jimmy, if they think they can make one last run, it makes sense they would have interest in him, so let's say Jimmy to GS for Kuminga, Moody, and a couple of picks, of course others would have to be involved for the salaries to match, the Heat then send the package they get from GS plus additional assets to Mil for Giannis

Whether Giannis ends up here or not, it tells you all you need to know about the Heat organization that so many unhappy stars always seem to list Miami as a preferred destination

Embiid more likely.
A healthy Embiid is a top three player in the league, but he's never healthy, and now he says he may never play back to back games, if he's got a knee that bad, it's not worth the risk, they would have to gut their team to get him, Jimmy and him are super close, but that would mean the Heat's two biggest stars are both injury prone players who always miss a lot of games, the Embiid of several years ago I would take, not the plyer he is now, not his fault he can't stay healthy, but it is what it is

The Heat are stuck in limbo, they have a team good enough to make the playoffs and maybe win a round, but not nearly good enough to make a deep run, Riley isn't getting any younger, it wouldn't surprise me if things stay like they are he blows it up and makes a big trade, if the reports about Giannis wanting out are true, that's something that could have legs, Herro is from Wisconsin, just something to think about, but the Heat couldn't take on Giannis's salary without sending salary back, it's hard to envision a trade for Giannis that also keeps Jimmy here, maybe a package of Jimmy, Herro, and a couple of picks for Giannis

Depends what they give up. I'd at least consider.
Can't see Philly trading him to Miami, and what they would want back wouldn't be worth the risk, it's not like they could get him for cheap and take a flyer he stays healthy, the asking price for Embiid would be massive, and any team trading for him would be taking a big risk, besides, they didn't just sign PG with plans on moving Embiid, but if things get real ugly you never know, I heard a report that Embiid shoved a reporter, and the other day during an interview, he was cursing a lot, upset at the fans

Hypothetical. If they added the Greek God and gave up no starter, co chalk with the Celtics in Eastern Conference. But that is not possible?

If they added the Greek God and gave up no starter,
In what world is that even remotely possible? To land Giannis the Heat would have to pretty much gut their roster, which I'm okay with if it means getting him, anyone but Bam should be on the table, and it would almost have to include a third team, Giannis would have to go public with his desire to leave, so far that hasn't happened, I'm rooting against them every game, maybe if things get bad enough he asks out

On the road, playing one of the best teams in the league with no Jimmy, this isn't a game they're expected to win

Must have had a Rickie Fowler to give.

Tyler Herro personal foul (Mike Conley draws the foul)
Down 2 with about 10 seconds left, coming out of a time out Spo drew up a brilliant play that completely confused the Wolves defense, it resulted in an and one layup for Jovic, he made the free throw to go up 1, Wolves call time out, Herro fouls Conley on the floor before he could get the shot off, 4 seconds left and Wolves out of time outs, inbound the ball and a shot I believe by Conley came up short, defensive rebound as the buzzer sounds, this win goes to Spo, the play he drew up at the end was a thing of beauty, no one on the court was expecting the ball to go to Jovic, a nice win

I give a total of zero fucks about some made up in season tournament, the Lakers won it last year, who gives a fuck, no one will remember or care, but everyone will remember the Celtics winning the championship, it's some stupid made up bullshit by the league to try and make some meaningless Nov-Dec games have relevance, I don't pay any attention to it at all, I want my teams to win every game they play, weather those games are part of Adam Silver's silly cup or not makes no difference
