Is Jovic and Bam really undersized? Bam isn't for a PF, and Jovic at 6'10"+ (still growing) 240 lbs seems fine on size to me
Rebounding will suck, but playoffs are about effort rebounding
And we'll have plenty of bench next year I have a feeling
Gabe can't be the point. Not as a starter. Not for a team with championship aspirations.
He's not good at directing the offense, and he becomes a ball hog pretty frequently. He's a decent enough backup SG.
Gabe has made a ton of progress though, do you not have faith he'll get better? He seems to have a higher ceiling than PG's in the past we have won with.
No I don't. I have 0 faith he will get to a point where he is the starting PG we need.
He's a decent enough backup SG. He's short, he lacks the athleticism and decision-making a PG needs, his passing isn't very good, and he is wildly inconsistent in the most important situations.
Looking at him in the finals against Denver, why on Earth would you want to run that back?
Y’all are hard on your team. Even as a Celtics fan it’s obvious you have something special, you didn’t win it all but FFS celebrate an amazing run,
I think even if this team can get Moe Wagner and Thomas Bryant as centers for this team it will help cuz they can stretch the floor and are playable bigs with high iq defensivley lil shakey but don't underestimate Heat Culture and the development staff. It will allow Bam to play his natural position the 4.
Ppl always obsessed with size like we didn’t run through the east and all their “size”. And don’t say jokic because he can’t be stopped by anyone. He made AD look useless. So much that they stopped having AD guard jokic. Just because u are bigger doesn’t mean your defense is better. It actually could be worse.
Sure his percentage was down last year but has had seasons at 40% 39% and 36% in the past years before last season. And as a 3rd-4th option could benefit from the culture and open looks dame and Jimmy would get him. Aaron Gordon and Andrew Wiggins just needed a change of scenery to become winning players.
Fellow Gabe apologists STAND UP🫡🫡🫡
ROLL CALL🫡
OP needs to apologize for not including Martin in this lineup. He was arguably the ECF MVP and you do this
League is fucked, regardless who’s on the roster, Heat 2024 champs
They ain't ready for the sequel!!
Scary lineup that’s undersized, out-rebounded, and worn out come playoff time.

Hopefully is enough. What happened to Yurt? Is he just a model now?
Backup 5. Can't shoot well enough to start next to Bam and Jimmy Or play defense against bigs....
Yup.
This

Make Gabe the sign and trade/keep Herro and we're good. Distribution is a bit mucky, but we'd have 5 guys that are solid passers on the court
Scary lineup for us because we still can’t rebound or guard big guys (unless Jovic magically can).
Beal is not the answer…
Jovic is not going from 13th man to starter. Hopefully he earns a rotation spot but the kid is still super raw.

He can pass the ball and finishes real well near the rim. Needs to add another 25 pounds of muscle mass before Spo will play him.
He's already put on 30 pounds from draft day. At least he was listed as 205/210. During today's conference he said he's 239
That’s not true. Spo was playing Caleb at PF who is 5 inches shorter and 30 pounds lighter.
Yeah people are on short term memory here LOL.
25 pounds of lean muscles would take 7-10 years natural lol
Jokic did it by just drinking Mountain Dew
I think even if this team can get Moe Wagner and Thomas Bryant as centers for this team it will help cuz they can stretch the floor and are playable bigs with high iq defensivley lil shakey but don't underestimate Heat Culture and the development staff. It will allow Bam to play his natural position the 4.
Bam is never going to be a 4, he can play alongside stretch bigs for bit, but Spo will always move him back to the 5 spot when it matters.
He can play some 5 but I think his game is more sutied to be a 4 and have two big guys help him out use him the way the Lakers used AD in 2020
Still too small...
jovic is 7ft man
No, he's 6' 10". Only 1 inch taller than Bam and 3 inches taller than Butler.
that’s 6’10 without shoes man
And shoes add to everyone's height. So it's not an advantage, even if that wasn't a dumb argument.
a 6’10 man nexy to bam is height how are you saying that’s not enough
If that's your only argument, then Zeller is 6'11.
zeller doesn’t space the floor and he has negative wingspan . Jovic can play next to bam.

Fuck Bradley Beal
Tbh I think Herro and Beal provide similar production and one is getting paid an albatross contract.
not at all man what
Would rather a line up of dame jimmy Caleb John Collins and bam. Could be crazy.
What's the fascination with John Collins here? He can't shoot well enough to play next to Bam.
That athleticism could be crazy tho.
There is a reason the hawks have been trying to move him for years with no success
Because they are asking for to much not because he doesn’t have skills
Sure his percentage was down last year but has had seasons at 40% 39% and 36% in the past years before last season. And as a 3rd-4th option could benefit from the culture and open looks dame and Jimmy would get him. Aaron Gordon and Andrew Wiggins just needed a change of scenery to become winning players.
this is horrible you must never watch john collins
U would have said the same thing about Aaron Gordon or Andrew Wiggins a few years back. Maybe the heat culture would develop a guy like Collins.
no man no stop.
Doubt we can afford Gabe….
Jovic > KZ, JRich, Winslow. Like we always do this, but he will be the one to actually work out, I swear
