OT - Iggy to the Heat

Advertisement
Don't see the big deal about Iggy. He's just a role player but if you add Gallinari as the stretch 4 then I'm sold. Danilo can play but has a history of being injury prone
 
big move!
Not messed up about losing Winslow as he’s always hurt and is a horrible finisher and shot is inconsistent. Iggy brings a championship pedigree and more moves will be made

do u watch basketball? What does Iggy bring? Ok he’s a 3 and elite D. Brings championship experience and has years of knowledge that will be bestowed to our young players!! Come on man.
agree on Danilo, surround Bam with shooters.

Galinari sucks to. Super soft

He’s a very efficient 20 point a night guy who doesn’t need the ball in his hands too much. Last two places he was at severely outperformed expectations (clippers last year and Thunder this year). This is a very good move if we’re not giving up Duncan, Herro or Dunn

galo has a history of being injury prone but so does the player we gave up in the iggy deal aling with the fact that he has a broken jumper that no team will fix.

this team needs perimeter defenders fast which is why iggy is a good move. he can also handle the ball a bit and help initiate some of the offense taking some of the load off butler/bam/goran. thye cant keep playing zone all year esp against teams that have elite offensive players but are forced to when they play a heavy herro, duncan, nunn lineup
 
RIley is amazing. Without giving up any of the core. Duncan, Nunn, even Herro and Bam are basically making minimum wage next 2 years which allows them to splurge on IGGY and Galinari for 2 years before they have to pay youngins or go after Greek Freak in 2021.
Not to mention shedding Dion and JJ salaries for next year. What a deal if it goes through.
Bam, Galinari, Duncan, Jimmy, Nunn
bench- Dragic, Iggy, Kelly, Airplane Mode, HERRO, Leonard

agreed but what a lot are missing is this, Riley clearing cap space for ‘21.It’s a genius move and if we only lose J. Johnson, Waiters and Winslow, while keeping our young core? It’s a steal.

Bam will help land us Giannis. I always see him at the end of games getting along with other teams stars. He’s well liked in the league. Also, top 5 in player votes for the ASG.
 
I know Gallinari is a scorer and can shoot the 3 very well but how is his defense?

yep, that’s it. If we don’t pick up TO for iggy, we can have $50m in cap space for 21

Always hurt and a horrible finisher (in the halfcourt) and shot is inconsistent is exactly how to describe Iguodala lmfao. Dude is 36 years old, hasn't played all year, and is going from the Warriors where he played off the gravity of Steph and Klay to...Butler and Nunn? $15 mil for him is outrageous even with a team option on the 2nd year. Andre wanted to return to GSW but they weren't giving him anywhere near that salary...there's a reason he agreed to this.

Now if the Heat can land Gallo that's a player and fit that's worthwhile but if he eats into 2021 cap space is it really worth it? These guys don't move the needle to beat Milwaukee and 2021 should be the focus for the Heat. Seems like a very shortsighted win-now approach from an old impatient GM who's overvaluing his current roster. Miami reminds me a lot of the 17-18 Raptors - good depth, chemistry and they play hard - which is a formula that wins regular season games and not much else. When your best player is Butler or Adebayo you're not a real title threat.

for Iggy the second year is a player option which imo he will go back to Cali. Where he lives. We will have enough for a max contract player and a 2nd tier free agent. I know they want to resign D. Jones

iggy brings a championship pedigree, elite defense and a guy who lives for the moment. There’s a reason why elite teams like the lakers and clippers wanted him so bad all year. Can’t discount what his leadership and wisdom in the moment can be for all of our young players and even veterans in butler. Miami is one of the best 3 point shooting teams in the league, we have 3 point snipers like a young Klay and curry right now plus you add another threat with Gallinari as 3 point shooting 4.



If we get gallo his contact will be easier to move for a future star this offseason compared to someone like James Johnson/dion waiters in a potential trade for someone like dare I say Bradley Beal. Not to mention all the things Gallo could do for this season.

with regards to losing Winslow, there was more stuff going on than just his play. Think he fell out of favor in the front office

he fits next to bam in a lineup of jimmy, bam, iggy and allows bam to operate down low w the spacing he provides. those 3 alos allow the heat to get out of the zone d.

the heat basically siad well give you the option if no one else comes. i think well decline it though and allow him to go wherever he wants or retire

heat are landing gallo and are trying to structure his extension like Iggys (whihc makes sense for gallo bc hes got one shot left when the moeny is there in the market to get his last big contract). they wont eat into 21 for this exact reason. thye want a max guy and more. its why moving winslow was a no brainer esp given the back injury. he likely wont play this year and he wont be around for the 21 season either (the heat would decline his option) in order to free up space. also, were scratchign the surface on bam.

also, iggy not playing this year isnt bc of injury (which is winslows issue). im actulaly happy he sat out this half season after the tread all the warriros players got the last 4 years
