no chip contending team can afford him outright in free agency, right? If Pat waits until the offseason. They can have him do a sign and trade so teams can trade more assets back to Miami.

Jimmy not opting out of 52m. And I'm sure he wouldn't mind opting out as long as he gets a solid 3 yr deal out of it to whatever team he goes to. Hope I make sense

Exactly

Didn’t he already get cooked with the Dan Hurley to LA red herring? Shams went on McAfee the next day and called cap
Not really. Hurley met with Pelinka and Buss. It was real. But Woj was clearly helping his friend out.

Woj is close to front office leaders and owners.

Wasn’t their a report that Jimmy wasn't going to opt in with any team that he was traded too. So basically whoever is trading for him would be for a 3-4 month rental.

Jimmy was lowkey the Heats 2020 Clyde Drexler in Portland. 2 finals appearances that he led, wonder if his career will follow the same trajectory and he win a chip in Houston :ehh:

The stoop with dat dope fanny padding
It was the suns and the warriors that seemed most likely but the suns really couldn’t do it without beal’s contract and Miami probably wouldn’t even want Beal if they are going rebuild

GS had some young pieces that could make it work tho

Houston was mentioned but makes no sense for them to trade future assets for a potential rental

That honestly seems like he did it to be petty and get his boy Hurley some extra cash, cause you can say what you want but Hurley was made an offer and would be the Lakers coach if he wanted it

I also think the fact that Jimmy and his agent are working back channels to get him to a specific destination probably pissed Riley off as well

At the end of the day, he was gonna do what’s best for the heat and not take a shyt deal just to make jimmy happy, especially for how difficult it appears Jimmy has been the last season and a half at least
