That heat roster is so mid. If they get out of the east again I’m going to puke

Gabe Vincent to the Lakers. 3 yrs, $33m.

[Who]

Miami getting picked to the bone. Vincent gone, Strus about to be gone, and Love possibly gone.

Pat Beverley would be a strong replacement for G Vincent.

[RJ87]

Miami is really putting all of their eggs into the Dame basket.

[Who]

I'd like to see Miami try to turn Tyler Herro into a PG. Let Jimmy still be the main playmaker and Bam the second player. Just have Herro initiate the offense and be the 3rd playmaker.

With his lack of size, he may better off there in terms of defense & rebounding. And it would allow Miami to get another big wing on the floor alongside him.

Niang got 3yrs $26mil. That is too much money.

Niang is a 9th man. Why are you paying your 9th man so much money? He isn't good enough to play a bigger role on a contender. Too vulnerable on D.

That's a lot for a guy who doesn't rebound, doesn't defend and doesn't pass.

Really feels like they have all their eggs in the Lillard basket.

[Who]

It sounds like their owner just doesn't want to pay heavy luxury tax payments for marginal payments. Riley couldn't convince him it was worthwhile ... because it isn't.

Perk acting like Prince + Vincent makes the Lakers the favorites.

[celticinorlando]

Perk is an idiot. Lakers roster is so bad

[Who]

Perk acting like Prince + Vincent makes the Lakers the favorites.

I'm not even sure T Prince is an improvement over T Brown.

G Vincent I like. I was worried about him leaving Miami but LAL is a good fit for him because he has LeBron to run the offense for him allowing him to be a defender/scorer at PG.

Perk acting like Prince + Vincent makes the Lakers the favorites.

Perk had a top 5 big 3 that included Bron/AD/Reaves, but left Tatum/JB/Zinger off completely.

Perk is not a rational person.

[Who]

Surely LAL would have been better off just keeping D Russell and Schroder and spending their MLE on a legit center to play either behind or alongside A Davis.

Wasted opportunity to improve their team.

[celticinorlando]

How are the heat going to get dame? They have nothing Portland wants.

It depends on who the real Vincent is.  Is he the guy who looked like a key player in the playoffs, or is he the guy who averaged 9 points on 40% FG% / 33 3PT% last year?
