The bot speaks.

What does “officially” mean? Has an official of the organization made a public statement to that effect?

I just gonna say, I don’t believe the reports that we haven’t found a team for Beal, I think We have but Heat want more, probably more picks. Could also be the team that is taking Beal wants more too but I get the feeling it’s mostly Miami holding things up. I think we found multiple teams that’s okay with taking on Beal and that’s Beal is okay with waiving his NTC for, because the Heat not taking Beal was always a requirement from the beginning, we wouldn’t be pursuing this long if no one really wanted Beal.

Gambo said yesterday that a Heat beat reporter, who has sources with the Heat, thinks Miami would do a deal with PHX if they could get 2 picks from us. Gambo also has repeatedly said we have plans for our picks and we should not expect them all in the trade for Jimmy.

Kinda makes we wonder if we holding firm to a deal that gives 1 pick for the team taking Beal and 1 pick for Miami but Miami wants 2nd 1st and we are like nah cuz we want that to get rid of Nurk’s ass.

Why should we have to include picks if Miami has “officially decided” to move him? Do they have a backup plan that cuts us out?

Sidery is really putting his reputation on the line by making a bold statement like that. Luckily for him, he has nothing to lose.

Saw a report yesterday that the Warriors (Steph and Dray) weren't sure about Butler's fit in the lockerroom.

Dray talking about anybody else as a locker room presence, SMH.

I think they don’t, hence why we are hearing about all these extra teams, like golden state, Memphis, and now the Pelicans?

My speculation? I think we have multiple offers that if the Heat wanted to move forward with, could get done this minute BUT the Heat aren’t too fond of those deals. I think we’ve been looking to find better deals that Miami could like more but haven’t. Problem for Miami is no other team is making offers that is better than our firm “we could do this now” deal or deals.

So now Miami is hoping someone to come along to beat our current offer or if we can find a better deal for them but time is ticking fast now with deadline so close. I honestly think that’s where things stand right now.

Too bad we have a knack for caving to trade demands…. Would be nice to be the team that is firm and stiff arming for once, hence why this is going to take till the freaking deadline.

The Suns are sitting on their hands way too fucking much, making this trade deadline less and less relevant. As these bullshit losses add up, the hill to climb to make the playoffs with our ridiculous schedule becomes insurmountable. Just blow it up.

Or ....

If Luka freaking Doncic is only worth one injured veteran plus one 1st, surely HIMmy Butler is attainable for the same price? :-)

To be a bit more serious, does this put any of Dallas's other bigs such as Lively on the market? Or do you guys think they want to run AD at the 4 (bleh)?

Think they want to run AD at the 4. Gafford was supposedly being shopped but with Lively's injury I can't imagine him being moved now.
