I don't blame Reed for opting out, personally I thought he'd get a multi-year deal worth $5 million annually from someone

 

[He Who Posts Well]

Yeah this wasn't a good look. I was positive Reed was going to get a decent pay day but

Teams don't value traditional centers like they used to. If he was shooting threes instead of blocking shots and rebounding, he would have gotten a better deal. Funny how the NBA is nowadays.

Think Riley told him to be ready to pack his bags?

I think Riley signed Olynyk as insurance. Typical "I trust veterans before i trust rookies" Riley type approach

Honestly he's right for having a backup plan. My only objection was the pricetag.

But also remember that Bam was playing mostly against scrubs who wont be on an NBA roster for the most part. Scouting report of him was that he struggles to score against SIZE so we'll what happens in the regular season. BUt i do like his approach of attacking when he was out there. Which was one of my beefs with Winslow in summer leagues when he was a rookie. I though he was too passive for a player of his caliber.
Had me screaming "you're a fukkking first round top 10 lottery pick. What the fukk you doing deferring to (then) Dleaguers" .
But i get it now. Winslow is such a cerebral player he can impact (those) games in other ways than scoring.

Yeah...That price tag will be hard to move. The only reason I'm not totally freaky out is Andy Ellisberg is a got damn genius and can make anything work

We don't have any picks to give up to move his salary, TJ probably want a house that's bigger or cheaper.

Need to make room for Wade

We don't need to attach picks. Maybe a team with cap space like Brooklyn will want him

• The scout, who requested anonymity because he is not authorized by his team to speak publicly, said beyond Bam Adebayo, Okaro White and potentially Hammons, the Heat’s Summer Leaguer with the best chance of making the NBA is 6-5 former UCF guard Matt Williams.

He shot 38.4 percent on threes last season at UCF (126 for 328) and 39 percent on threes in summer league (23 for 59), but shot just 38 percent from the field overall while averaging 9.9 points in Summer League.

“He looked much more like a guy who could get a two-way contract,” the scout said. “He has the one skill – three-point shooting. He's totally one dimensional but is a good athlete, has a good body and a good looking shot. His numbers from college on threes were pretty good. He's more viable than I initially thought.”

On Heat returning forward White, who averaged 18.6 points, 8.1 rebounds and 1.3 blocks but shot only 39 percent from the field in Summer League, the scout said: “He’s an NBA player but limited. He’s versatile and can guard some threes. He plays hard. Shooting is OK.”

• The scout reiterated that Adebayo is “the real deal” and impressive after making these earlier comments about him:

“He’s extremely active on the offensive glass, very athletic. He can post up a little bit. He blocks a few shots. They are alley-ooping to him. His jumper is a little funny looking; it needs some more rotation. He’s not just going to be a defender; he’s going to be able to score.”

If we didn't have to take back that center in the Dallas trade, I think it would have been a possibility
