uh uh. i mean.. uh uh...i mean..as a Captain...LoL... he is not an offensive threat.. not consistent player..0 pt. oh sorry 4pts from the FT.vs Jazz..C'mon men.. he feels like he is better than Tatum...Heat waste Jimmy Butler Time... NBA Finals.. Bam vs Davis. Jokic... haissttt .. waste of time and money....today NBA Game is a 3 point shoot out..
@@TheLionkevinsonexactly, we should’ve traded him when his value was highest. I honestly wish we would’ve traded him half way thru last season with his 2023 playoff run still in the back of peoples head. I think we could’ve gotten away with robbery if we moved him then.
Love how Wes believes that Spo will put Ware and Bam together because it makes sense. It's made sense since Whiteside and Bam were on the Heat. Spo will never play 2 bigs (that are completely soft). It would be an admission that small ball doesn't work in today's NBA (which it doesn't).
35 million dollars is enough empathy. Heading into this season Bam was very clearly angling to have a bigger offensive role, shoot 3s, etc. Now that he is embarrassing himself we’re supposed to coddle him on top of how much the Heat already do? Where is Pat public call out on Bam’s horrific offense and his rudderless leadership? I don’t see him ever getting emotional on the court, calling team huddles, and the team often follows this listlessness. The only thing i ever see from him is bad body language. It’s been sickening to watch this guy all year, to the point where I’m just waiting for him to get subbed out for Ware to feel even a little bit excited about this team. He was my favorite player to watch less than 2 years ago, now he’s absolutely my least favorite player on this team.
Bam is irritated and uneasy that The Front Ofiice, UD and D Wade threw the Captain & Carrier Of Heat Culture title on him. He literally said he didn't want it or ask for it. He's completely out of his element knowing his every move is being scrutinized and portrayed as a reflection of the team as a whole. The pressure got worse with Jimmy pulling a Jimmy.
If he don’t want it then he shouldn’t be here, trade him. What type of mentality is that for a max player ..we need players who want that. It’s not even so much that he doesn’t want it, he isn’t capable, he’s a high level role player
@@Twiist585 I don't isagree with you but what team besides the Heat wants to acquire and or overoay roleplayers? Bam at 60 million in year 3 of his extension isn't going to have many takers.
I agree. Getting something of significant value for Butler is out the door. I just hope Miami just pulls the trigger on whatever they can get that ensures cap space flexibility. I read a report yesterday that the Heat aren't too satisfied with the offers they've received so far, and therefore the Heat expect Butler to play after the 7 game suspension. That would be a nightmare for this team...
When we’d beat the Rockets without Butler, there wasn’t a problem, but because we lost to the Jazz there’s one. Make it make sense. When are you guys going to call out the coach!
Agree w the last part about moving on from Butler and seeing the last 4.5 years as a win. Well said. Bam is the modern NBA version of D. Howard. #1 defensive anchor of a championship caliber team but should never be asked to be the #1 scoring option or hub of offense. He should always be focussed on being a top DPOY candidate, constant double-double filling the stat sheet with high efficiency. Don’t ask or expect more, this is enough.
Kel’el needs to box out better and get stronger grab more boards besides that I love the idea of him at starting C spot next to Bam plus he can be a floor spacer
First and foremost how the hell did Bam go from averaging 20 and 10 to like 14 and 8..... and that's been him this entire season, Spo needs to stop this nonsense give Bam the ball and tell him to Dunk it every single possession. I've seen Bam put his hand over square and Yam it on people just lob it to him every time. this is getting stupid to have your Max player play into a goofball system that only maximizes Herro. Secondly Jimmy is the fire and passion of this team he's taken the team to the finals with Herro completely absent yet for whatever reason the offense gets completely redrawn around Herro and as you can see he is great at being #2 or 3 on the team. he cannot handle pressure of being a leader like Jimmy can. We saw that last season vs the Celtics. Not extending Jimmy was stupid and sadly the team is gonna get exposed without him.
Trade Jimmy, Bam, and Tyler. It’s over, time to acquire real assets and rebuild like a smart franchise. I would even take Beals contract if Phoenix is going to attach the 2031 unprotected 1st. It will be a great asset to flip in the future. Somewhere along the way Pat and company forgot how to build a team. We have essentially ran back the same team since 2019. Without Jimmy the mediocre regular seasons aren’t going to amount to anymore miracle playoff runs.
Ben Simmon's expiring contract + another one for Jimmy Brandon Ingram's expiring contract + another one for Jimmy Steve Adams' expiring contract + Fred Van Fleet (team option next year) for Jimmy
Why would any of those teams do that deal for Jimmy knowing he wants a Max contract? The nets in particular are trying to trade away salary and good players.
What? He's human? Sorry but us working class have to face tough questions/decisions on top of working 2 jobs... Tired of feeling sorry for these rich mfers making me sorry for them
If Brandon Ingram is healthy I would go after him and maybe a 1 round pick for Jimmy. Let Brandon Ingram ball out and see if you could do a sign and trade him in the summer for some picks and role player.
I love seeing you Pat stan's go ahead an make up these excuses for why this team is trashed. The F.O chose to give a glorified role player a Max contract over the guy who actually took the team to the finals. If this is the future of the team Pat stan's are hopeful for them this team ain't gonna win a championship anytime soon !! 💯😂
I'm a fan of the pod but man this was a hard listen. Tyler's been on the chopping block for three years but Bam has it harder? Bam gets passes for his inefficiency and his regression in efficiency year over year because "he can guard all five positions." Jimmy has to carry the team, talk to the media, play for a new contract. Meanwhile Bam gets his extension no questions asked. You were even implying he should be getting a statue this summer, despite NEVER having carried a playoff game let alone series. And now that there's no Jimmy to hide behind and his lack of skill and competitiveness are out there he looks scared. I honestly can't believe the coddling this guy gets. And I LIKE Bam as a person but his treatment from the organization and the Miami media is BAFFLING. His play THIS WHOLE SEASON has probably made his contract immovable. No one, and I mean no one, is going to want one of the least efficient big men in the league on a max contract and you all have ignored it or made excuses the whole season long.
Stop the excuses! Jimmy made this team, this team is at best a play in team. Should have found a way to keep Jimmy and trade Bam for Giannis at the beginning of the season when the Bucks sucked!
I think for this offense to work need a pg like lillard that can run pick and roll with bam. Other wise offense will be stagnant. Trade butler and herro while his value is up
I think we will be forced to take on Beal. I’d try to make them send us all their tradeable picks and Ryan Dunn, idk if it’s enough as an incentive thi
I think dropping Duncan from starting lineup was the biggest mistake. We needed to hit 3s to win the space to get to the rim against big slow trees and Terry is unable to facilitate that as a PG through play style and lack of connection with team. Duncan, Hayward and Herro would have got us off to a good start. The only person I would have swapped in would have been Ware for Jovic and put Bam at the 4. Not hitting threes killed it for our undersized quickness players like Bam and Jaime as we got scared to shoot and they packed the paint/ overplayed on the point of attack. I really like Terry as a personality and someone who works hard, I just don’t think he fits here. We need consistent facilitation and leadership and TRo is not that. It felt so weird that Spo made this decision given the circumstances with Jimmy, surely putting the team into a familiar pattern would have helped to get around the distractions? Maybe arrogance given Jazz are having a bad start to season?
Bro, I need to address something else. A lot of people are coming down hard on Bam. You don’t know how Bam’s mental state is, coming into the game without his best friend on the team. Jimmy Butler is without a doubt that player that Bam used to hang out with the most, used to talk to the most, communicate with the most, compete with the most, they were like brothers. I understand that we are all upset however we need to be more patient , when your brother is no longer going to play for the same team anymore and it’s a fallen out type of situation this can be very difficult for Bam to get over. however, This is not a few games that Jimmy Butler will be absent for this is all of a sudden a fire that has burnt down the house and they have to build a new one because although Bam is the captain, Jimmy was the leader so we need to have more patience and understanding for the situation at hand
We got a healthy, max contract player entering his prime and nobody expects a thing from him because of HIS play. Please don’t expect us to feel bad for Bam guys
Reminds me a bit of when Dame tried to force his way to Miami and screwed his value. This may be even worse for Miami rhan it ultimately was for Portland with the new cap rules.
Now starting to find excuses for this "refresh" line up after losing to lottery Jazz. Bam has max contract and does not want to carry responsibility? Stop pretending Bam's bad performance is a small sample outlier.😂 I'm tired of drama of this team. This lineup should be blown up after losing to Magic. And we all acknowledge it. Btw Pat Riley's stubborness has been proven to be jokes after those decades in Miami and you just wouldn't admit it.😂
Just give us Kyrie for Jimmy, Rozier, and some picks. And we got 30pts a night to go along with Herro and the rim protection and lob threats of Bam and Ware from Kyrie and Tyler.
put the rookie, bam, Duncan , tyler and rozier even though he sucks but has speed. JOvic at the 3 would slow the team a Lot and that doesnt work in todays game
Kel’el needs to box out better and get stronger grab more boards besides that I love the idea of him at starting C spot next to Bam plus he can be a floor spacer . Jimmy had become toxic waste to the team so we have to dispose of him asap. He just looks like he wants a bag on the way out the door of his ending career it’s obvious he’s declining ALOT health wise
I’m going to suggest something for Bam and hopefully this gets back to him. He needs to go and spend the entire offseason with Hakeem Olajuwon to help salvage his game offensively
You guys are delusional! You think we should give Bam a break??? He has sucked ass this whole season! It’s not just Jimmy leaving. They maxed him and not Jimmy and Bam has been nothing but disappointing in every finals. This Bam fan club and making excuses for him is laughable
We can’t keep making excuses for Bam. He’s been below average all year. He’s supposed to be the next head of the snake. How can the fans trust him after so many no show games this year? He’s embarrassing at times smh
Yes it’s Bam he is a MAX contract player stop making excuses for Bam he’s been a no show all season not just last game it’s insane how much you guys coddle bam he’s been atrocious no one wants to hear these lame excuses he’s getting paid millions to play ball
Trade bam and herro for first round picks just keep the rookies at this point we have ware n rooks that are good we ain’t getting no where might as well built for the future bam and herro are not #1 option players in a championship team
I'm losing interest with you guys. Keep it real, Bam shows little to no emotions unless he wants to flex. He's a big guy with athletic abilities, but he's no "Captain". He folds because that is his part of his personality... We need some true leadership on this team. Spo gave Bam the role...
What about what Bam wanted !? He asked to play at PF .. who else would be fit for the Center position besides Kel’el Ware?!! And then we have Keshad Johnson who can be a SF or a PF off the bench or even starting in Jimmy spot as SF. He can shoot and he can rebound , can block shots , can score , runs the floor and stays active . To me he looks more energetic than Jimmy, longer , stronger and healthier than Jimmy. Let Jimmy GO!! Have faith in the Heat is what we should be doing , that’s what we had to do anyway when we didn’t have Wade or Lebrom anymore we had to build as a team and definitely can see why becoming a better team in general all around is more of a priority and focus going forward. Jimmy was already having his fallouts with these past organization let’s not feel bad
What would you guys think of 3 Team trade involving MEM and NOP? Miami receives: - Brandon Ingram - Marcus Smart - Brandon Clarke - '26 Lottery Protected NOP 1RD Pick - '26 MEM 1st Rd Pick - '29 & '31 1st Rd Pick Swaps w/ NOP Memphis Receives: - Jimmy Butler New Orleans Receives: - Terry Rozier - Alec Burks - Luke Kennard - '26 MIA 2nd Rd Pick via LAL - '29 & '31 1st Rd Pick Swaps w/ MIA I feel like Smart and Clarke could be good enough role players for us and while Brandon Ingram isn't an answer, getting him for some 1st round picks in order to free up the ability to trade our later picks would help
Let Jovic run point, him having the ball is what unlocks him
Jovic
Herro
Haywood
Bam
Ware
Jaime over Haywood
Poor Baby Bam. The max role and the responsibilities are too much for him. Awww
😂😂😂😂

Cmon Wes you wanted Jimmy gone. You got your wish. 😂😂😂
Hopefully Wes is packaged in any deal when we trade Jimmy
Yep he wants this bam and Tyler build. He will make excuses
“Who needs a PG?” Is hilarious 😂 that a crazy statement to me
Wes is an idiot, wish he would go back to covering The Warriors.

No, they should have traded Jimmy at the beginning of the season.

I'm excited for a fresh start.
Everyone (players) is nervous about who is going to get traded to make a Jimmy trade happen!
Tyler was on the trading block for three seasons straight, and all he did was perform. Where is the sympathy for him. Kmt
35 million dollars is enough empathy.

Play ware and bam at the same time pleaseeeee just give me 5 mins
Bro the whole fan base want it except for spo nd pat lol
I love Bam, but im seriously concerned now with his regression this year! Y not lean into the youth movement and play ware next to bam?
Agreed
Spo is going to go out of his standard wheel house and make it happen...Ware...Bam
Not a max player!!!
One problem is that we’d have no backup big man. The roster construction isn’t the best
They need to trade Jimmy, Bam,and Tyler. It’s over, rebuild the right way.
Love from Australia! 🇦🇺 thanks for getting me through losing Jimmy 😭 😂
No more excuses for Bam. Name me one other max contract player that shrinks when asked to put a ball in a basket.

Don’t care if Jimmy strapped the front office to a rocket ship. There’s no excuse for getting washed up by the Jazz.

at this point SPO needs to experiment with the lineups
Bam looking like Ben Simmons out there. Locks in the max money, mentally weak and can’t step into a max money role / lead a team
Bam is 3rd on a championship team. Bam isn't a #1 but Miami just Maxed him out. DUMB MOVE.
Spo is too stubborn on trying to raise the floor instead of the ceiling. That can lead to mediocrity.
It looks like Bam doesn’t do well with pressure.
First and foremost how the hell did Bam go from averaging 20 and 10 to like 14 and 8..... and that's been him this entire season, Spo needs to stop this nonsense give Bam the ball and tell him to Dunk it every single possession.

Thank god u not the gm 😂

Hard to build for the future with this lot they keep losing they will all want out quick smart especially bam and Tyler
Jovic at pg
Why are you guys not focusing on Pat Riley’s failure to improve the Heat’s roster? Pat needs to be fired! Jimmy needs help on the court.
