Heating Up Some Nuggets To Go With My 'Big-Face Coffee'! | Official Miami HEAT (#8) vs. Denver Nuggets (#1) | 2023 NBA Finals Thread

[PIFF101]

Like Shaq said when he said them others in the playoffs got to come through, Christian Braun did

Jamal Murray cookin in the playoffs is one of the main reasons the Nuggets are in the finals

 

[Flex Grossman]

They need to avoid the second luxury tax threshold and they are really close the next two years before they sign anybody AND Murray will be due a new contract in 2025. Those rules go into effect next season and they won't have any flexibility afterwards.

Idgaf about the luxury tax. Ain’t my money. MPJ is a useful guy to have on the team. He was really good in game 1.

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

He was looking at Jokic ready to risk it all

 

[madness]

Can't survive Jokic and Murray combining for 70, gonna need the others to step up. Onto the next

 

[Regular_P]

MPJ has been solid this post season outside of the finals. Murray is signed until 2025 and KCP and a number of other players come off the cap. The nuggets are fine

I guess we'll see. They're already on the books for $161.5 million next season and that's without Bruce Brown.

The second apron is $179.5 million and that hard caps teams to minimum contracts, cannot take back additional salary in trades and cannot trade picks seven years out.

You don't understand the rules of the new CBA and luxury tax implications.

I do. Not being able to trade picks next decade and only being able do sign guys for 2 million instead of signing one for 6 isn’t worth just dumping MPJ for nothing

The nuggets have a bunch of trade exceptions and a number of players outside of Murray contract including KCP’s 15 mil are coming off the salary cap and everyone else is signed on through 2025.

bytch ass Heat

 

[T.he I.nformant]

Heat in 5 like i told you bozos

 

[JesusFOREVER]

Worst loss of this heat run by far, Jimmy Butler is just far too injured to get the job done at this point, Spo’s bag of tricks might have been emptied unless Herro can pull off a miracle

With that being said I’m sure they’ll bounce back as they have all playoffs

 

[Derek Lee]

they gotta another one in the draft

@KnickstapeCity's new favorite player

Christian Braun does not sound like expected all especially since he from Kansas. Are there black people in Kansas?

 

[bl2k8]

The problem for the Heat is Caleb Martin now looks like…….well Caleb Martin

6ppg on 39%

Yea he back in prime 2way form….

That’s why the Denver game 2 loss was huge. Miami needs either a crazy Jimmy game, a crazy 3 point game or another one their fukk up the flow games and it’s tied. Denver is clearly better but Miami is capable of pulling one of those out

I think I saw that he had a black teammate he grew up with that his family basically adopted in HS
